New York, May 13.-The luck OF Mrs.

shopping on April I'd was restored to
her yesterday morning Two hours
later Mr.. Hoyt paid reward of $1,000
TO the finder of the jewels, Miss Har-

necklace offered a reward OF $1,000 for
its return. Later Tiffany 4 Co, act
ing for her, raised the reward to $4,000.
Whether Miss Schade intends to make
fight for the larger sum could not be
learned from her today.
Miss Schade found the necklace on
the sidewalk, but did not suppose the
gems to be real until she asked a jewell
