WOODILL LETTER FROM NOVEL
SUPPOSED LOVE NOTE TO EAST
MAN QUOTED MAJORS BOOK.
Theory That Slayer Wrote It in
Weird Plan for Starting
Literary Exploit.

BALTIMORE July 1.-New mystery
has been injected into the Woodill' mur-
der case following the publication of the
letter attributed to Mrs. Edith Woodill. in
which she wrote of her infatuation for
Robert +. Eastman, who killed her and
committed suicide when overtaken by a
posse.
The letter, it is alleged, was found in
Eastman's bungalow. 1t was turned over
to States Attorney Turner. by whom it
was given out
The text of the first part of the letter,
it has been found, was taken verbatim
from the second chapter of Charles Ma
jor's novel Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hail." popular several years ago.
Col. Robert H. Thompson. Mrs. Wood
HIS foster father, declares emphatically
that his daughter did not write it. The
startling theory has been advanced that
ii was written by Eastman in line with
his letter attributing the murder to a
woman at gay party in the bungalow
in a crazy and weird notion of making
of the crime literary material for a story
that would startle the country.
That Eastman had such a plan in mind
is attested by persons in the vicinity of
ST. MichaelS TO whom. it is said, he con-
fided it vaguely several days after the
crime. That his mind was disordered is
suggested by stories told of his actions
murder, when he pawned his victim s
jewels. He attended a theater, where his
actions were so strange that attaches of
the house kept him under surveillance.
There is only one other theory. accord
ing to the police. That is that the letter
is hoax conceived by some one at the
scene of the crime to further mystify the
public over the strange case.

MARINES RESUME SHIP DUTY
STATUS BEFORE ROOSEVELT
ORDER RESTORED.
Congress- Bidding Obeyed by Presi-
dent Taft-Will Perform
Ancient Duties.

That part of the Marine Corps of the
warships by order of former President
Roosevelt. issued November l. last, is to-
day back on the battleships, cruisers and
other vessels in accordance with the ac-
tion of Congress- thereby closing a chap
ter of bitter controversy brought about
by President Roosevelts action.
The order restoring the ma rines to
ship duty was issued just after President
Roosevelt retired. Congress had placed a
provision in the navy appropriation bill
stating that no money voted for the Ma
rfne Corps should be available unless the
marines served on ships as originally.
The first order restoring the marines.
Taft last May directed that the marines
be placed back ships and given eX-
actly the same duties that they perform
ed prior to their being ordered ashore.
The controversy over the withdrawal of
the marines from ships began immediate
ly upon PRONUNCIATION of the order. That
withdrawal was in accordance with eff
forts made by the line officers of the
navy for many years.
There was extensive criticism both in
and out Of Congress and the right of the
President to issue such an order without
special provision of law was questioned.
The Attorney General. at request of Secre-
tary Meyer for an opinion, declared Con-
SresS was fully within its constitutional
rights In the legislation directing that the
marines be restored 10 duty aboard ships.

BUILDING INSPECTOR BUSY.
Record Day in Issuance Of Permits.
Extensive Operations

In the number. of building permits is
sued from this office yesterday was me
biggest day we ever had" declared
Thomas Francis, acting inspector of
buildings, today. He explained also that
the fiscal ye ir ended yesterday was the
largest, in the number Of permits issued,
in the histocy of the building department
During the twelve months which ended
yesterday there were 5,l45 permits ,ssue.l
for new buildings and repairs of an ex-
tensive nature to old buildings. During
the previous year the number of perni IS
issued was 4,231.
Luring business hours yesterday 1T
ing Inspector of Buildings Francis was
the busiest man in the District building.
Forty-three permits were issued, and they
covered extensive building operations
The large number Of permits issued YES
terday, it is believed, was due to a mis-
understanding of the builders. In the
last District appropriation act provision
is made for a new schedule of building
permit fees. which will make the office
self-sustaining; and it is thought irat
the builders expected the new schedule
would go into effect today. The new fees
have not been promulgated, and it Will
probably be several weeks before that
action is taken.

LIGHTNING SHOCKS THREE.
Two Boys and a Woman Struck in
MARYLAND

PRINCE FREDERICK. Md, July L.
Wednesday afternoon about o'clock,
when a storm cloud had apparently
passed over Bowensville and the sun was
shining brightly, lightning struck several
trees in the yard of Samuel J. Hamett
and stunned two of his sons-Arthur
aged seventeen years, and Phineas, aged
eight years-Who were in A hammock
suspended from the damaged trees. The
older of the boys was rendered uncon-
scious by the bolt, which paralyzed and
discolored his legs. Later in the day he
was restored to consciousness, and is out
of danger. The younger boy was af-
fected, but less seriously. Their dog,
lying on the ground near the hammock
was killed instantly. The electric cur
rent fused the wire supporting the ham
mock in several places and furrowed the
ground in a long line toward the DWELL
ing. Their escape seemed miraculous.
During the afternoon lightning struck
a tenant house the farm of MIR. J..
BriscOe Bunting, near Hunting creek, a
short distance from Prince Frederick,
the building and seriously in
juring Lizzie Gross. wife of the tenant.
The bed on which she was reclining was
set on fire by the electricity.
