MRS. cowLEs' MISSING BROOCH.
Little Known About the Matter
Among Local Police.

Commander William S. Cowlcs. L. s. N,
has been much annoyed concerning the
publicity given Mrs. Cowlcs, growing out
of the loss of her 1900 diamond brooch.
Yesterday Commander Cowles sent let
ters to the several officials to whose at
tontion the matter has been brought,
again requesting them to refrain from
giving out anything for publication.
The theft or loss of the Jewels Is not
carried upon the books of the local Police
Department. Major Sylvester states that
although one of his men IS at work on
the case, his department has nothing to
do with 1t. He personally has but little
knowledge Of the affair.
