About thirty-seven nautical miles
northwest from the Island of Unalas-
ka. In the Aleutlan group, there lay
before the earthquake OF April lS two
small volcanic islands called In Russian
Bogoslof. They are well known to
geographers and scientists because
they enjoy the distinction OF having
risen from the sea all hot and steamlng
during historic times. Now II Is dis
covered that the two have become
three. The third Is the largest OF the
three and put In an appearance ON or
about the date of the earthquake. The
newcomer was stlll hot when visited
for the first time by an officer OF our
navy. The natural thought is TO con
meet the appearance Of this new Island
with the great seismic upheayal on the
Pacific coast last spring

Of the officers to suppress the real condition
of affairs. which did not become known
until this afternoon.
In a telephone conversation with the

after treatment, and that there was no
likelihood of any deaths occurring from the
ptomaine poisoning. Most Of those afflicted,
he said simply suffered a slight vomiting
spell.

KIDNAPPING CASES OF TODAY

Scores of Pinkerton detectives,
MANY private individuals and the
police of three continents have been
searching for little Horace N. Mar
vim for days, and thus far there is
no clue of any great value. A child
was seen in Portsmouth, England,
on March 70 who the police are
sure is the lost boy. His where
abouts now, however, is unknown.
The Postmaster General today said
that the department will do all that
could be done consistently to assist
the distressed father. Other kid
napers are being unearthed.
DOVER, Del, March 23.-After a search
of nearly two weeks and the running out of
clues in all parts of this country and Can
ada, no trace of Horace, the three-year-a
a-half-old child of DR.. Horace N. Marvin,
who disappeared from his fathers farm at
kits Hammock, near here. March 4, has
been found. The father receives many let
tiers each day, but all Of them 80 far have
led to only false clues. Although 1t Is be-
lieyed the child has been kidnapped, another
force of detectives will tomorrow begin a
systematic search of the country in the
vicinity of Kits Hammock.

PORTSMOUTH, England, March ga
boy answering young Marvins description
in every detail was seen here March 10. but
has since disappeared. The police, however,
are hopeful Of finding him. This boy was
seen at the Harbor station In company with
two men by Mr.. Phillips, chemist. The
latter was waiting for boat to take him
across the harbor to his home at Ryde
when his attention was attracted to the
asked his companions When are you going
to take me to my father?" The persistence
with which he reiterated the query struck
Mr.. Phillips as very singular, though he at
the time had not the slightest reason to
suppose that anything was wrong.
Recognized Description.
Mr.. Phillips when on the following day he
saw a newspaper announcement Of the kid
mapping of Horace N. Marvin, jr., recognized
in the description of the missing boy the
CLllu lie lfttu SeSu Iepolleu tHe
to the local police. The latter informed Mr..
Main, who placed himself in communication
with Consul Swain at Southampton. The
investigation made by Mr.. Swain resulted
in obtaining information to the effect that
a boy was landed at Southampton, March
10, from the Atlantic Transport Line steam
err Minneapolis, which left New York March
10. The boy did not go to London with the
other passengers, but proceeded to the
Dock station, whence it is thought he was
taken by train to Portsmouth.
Private detectives and Scotland Yard
men, as well as the local police, are search
ing for the boy.
All the outgoing vessels at various ports
are being watched.
P. o. Department to Help.
Acting Postmaster General Hitchcock, on
the receipt of the Presidents letter, which
enclosed the telegram from DIR. Marvin and
the Presidents reply thereto, issued in
structions to Chief Inspector Vickery to in
estigate any specific instances of violations
of the law in respect to the sending of
threatening letters which have arisen in
the case.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that the department
would do all it properly could to facilitate
the search for the missing child, and, If
possible would run down the senders of
the threatening letters.
Respecting the statement of Dr. Marvin
that notices concerning the case were not
permitted to be posted in post offices, Mr.
Hitchcock said that postmasters were
bound by the regulations to refuse such
permission.

A Frightful Experience.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, March 23-After hay-
ing undergone frightful experiences. which
came near costing him his life Clarence
Jarrett, aged nine years and son OF Mr. and
Mrs. +. t. Jarrett of this city, who mys-
teriously disappeared on last Monday morn
while en- route to school, was discovered in
the possession of James Childress a young
white man, who was arrested and is now
in jail awaiting trial on the charge Of hav-
ing kidnapped and held the little one a
prisoner. Chidress is considered a bad
character, but what motive he could have
had for the deed is not known, as the Jar
retts, though respected citizens, have not
money sufficient to induce any one to take
one of their children for the sake Of
ransom.
Clarence Jarrett left homo on Monday
morning last at about s o'clock for the
not return home at the closing of school
his parents became anxious and inquiry
showed that he never reached the school
house.
Alarm Sent Out.
When night arrived and the boy failed TO
return his relatives grew more anxious and
a general alarm was sent out The earth
seemed to have opened up its bowels and
gobbled up the little one. All efforts to find
out what became of young Jarrett failed
completely until several days ago when it
was ascertained that he had been in pos
session of strange white man. A de-
scription of the man was given the police
and today Childress was suspected of the
outrage. He was walking along side
street leading the boy by the hand when he
was suddenly surprised by Officer Prescott
and taken in custody. At first glance 1t
appeared that the pair were father and son,
but after arrival at the police station 1t de-
veloped that their relations were far diff
ferent. The boy wept bitterly, and when
he realized that he was free from the influ-
ence of Childress he accused the latter of
keeping him a prisoner at the point of
pistol and cruelty treating him.
Closely Guarded.
The boy declares that while at the
home of Childress he was closely guarded
by him and that during the night he was
placed in an clubhouse and locked up.
Youngs Jarrett says that he had eaten
but two meals since last Monday, and his
appearance certainly bore out this state
ment. The boy looked haggard and worn
and was very dirty.
1t seems that Childress lured the boy
away under false promises. and after get
ting him at his home kept him prisoner
there. Childress resides on the outskirts
of the city and lives alone with his
grandmother. The place is seldom visited
and is a good retreat for the perpetrator
of such daring crime. Childress declines
to make any statement, and the motive
for the KIDNAPPING is not known.
