thorities to-day began dragging the Poto-
mac river between here and Alexandria,
Va, for the body OF Lieutenant John w.
Crawford, Admiral Deweys secretary,
who disappeared yesterday and left word
that he was about to commit suicide.
Crawford was seen late yesterday after
noon In the business section Of this city,
but In a letter from him received by B.
A. Allen, chief OF division in the office
vof the auditor OF the postofflcc depart
awe notice OF his intention to drown
himself from the deck OF an Alexandria
ferry boat. The search by the police
boat has SO far proven >fruitlcss. Mr..
Allen to-day stated that he had little
doubt that Lieutenant Crawford was
dead.
Crawford. 1t is, said. left debts aggregat-
ing approximately 5000, and In note
which he sent his. wife through Allen,
his friend of twenty years standing. he
stated explicitly that the Indebtedness had
accommodated too much. but that 1t was
not due to speculation or gambling In
note he forwarded to Allen ne stated
that II the rights Of one who takes his
own life would permit he would like to

Arlington. Va, but. otherwise he expresy-
ed wish to have IFS body cremated. He
also left a hurriedly executed will, asked
that his friend break the news to his
wife and give to her the papers he had
carefully made out showing his indebted
ness. ~
1T is all mystery to me- and / am
greatly shocked" declared Admiral
Dewey to-day in talking about the dis
appearance OF his secretary. The adj
miral expressed the fear that Lieutenant
Crawford had made away with himself,
though why he should have done SO the
admiral said he could not imagine, unless
1t was due to financial trouble.
The missing officer left note on his
desk for his wife. which was taken to
his home to-day by Commander Spencer
s. Wood. the admirars aide. What It
contained the admiral declined to say.
Crawford also sent postal card to
Commander Wood in which he referred
to letter OF business to Admiral Dewey
to which he had given some attention..
On this card, postmarked at Washington
at eight o'clock last night, Lieutenant
Crawford said. Goodbye"
Admiral Dewey said that Crawford was
a man of the best habits, that he was
greatly attached to him, and that he was
a most invaluable assistant.
