-.- LOT OF LOOT.
Stolen Goods Found In Room Of a
New York Mans Butler.

Boston-About $500 worth of al
legged stolen jewelry, sllverware and
clothing has been recovered by In
spec'ors Patterson, Burr and Smith In
the room Of Edward s. Johnston in a
West End hotel.
Chief Inspector Watts says John
st0n who Is butler, confessed that
he stole the goods from his recent EN-
Dloyer, James II. Proctor of New
York, who has summer home in
Ipswich, this state.
1t was said at police headquarters
that Mr.. Proctor was not yet aware
OF the fact that he had been robbed.
He is now in New York, where he
went to attend funeral. The police
have sent word to him and he is eX-
pected to return TO Boston at once
and identify the property.
Johnston is locked up in the city
prison.
The arrest Of Johnston came about
in peculiar way The inspectors
were in a second hand store on Stani.
ford street, when a well.dressed Young
man entered and offered a silver nap
kin ring for sale. The dealer noticed
that the ring bore the initials u. II.
p" and when this was called to the
mans attention, he admitted that the
initials were not his but said the ring
was his property.
Then the inspectors stepped out
from their hiding place and qnes-
toned the man.
His answers to their questions were
plausible. He said the napkin ring
had been given him by a friend who
was in the habit of obtaining such
articles as presents. The inspectors
decided not to interfere at that point,
but when he went. out they followed
him to West End hotel.
The man, who was Johnston, had
no sooner opened the door Of his
room than the inspectors pushed for
ward and entered with him.
whats the matter?" demanded
Johnston. "Why do you come here?"
I'VE want to know II you have got
any more stuff" the inspectors re-
Piled
At this, the inspectors say, John
ston weakened, and admitted he had
stolen the napkin ring he had just
sold and pointed ont four trunks and
a dress suit case in the ROOM which
he said contained other things he had
stolen from Mr.. Proctor.
Johnston was arrested and the
trunks and suit case were removed
with him to police headquarters.
At headquarters Johnston said he
was a Scotchman and had been in
America about two years. He went
to work for Mr.. Proctor at the begin
ming of the summer His term OF
service expired Monday. From time
to time, the police say, he collected
the articles which were found in the
trunks, and brought everything to
BOSTON with him when he left tho
Ipswich cottage Of Mr.. Proctor. He
had not had an opportunity to get rid
of the goods before the detectives fell

Hay Closes Gurney Case.

Washington.-One of the first re.
suits OF the return of Secretary Hay to
Washington was the closing up of the
incident growing out of the arrest Of
Secretary Gurney Of the British en-
bassy at Lee, Mass. The secretary con-
cluded that entirely too much import
ance had been given to this matter,
and as Sir Mortimer Durand, the Brit
ish ambassador coincided in this view
and let the department know that the
action of the Massachusetts authorities
in remitting the fine and extending an
apology was entirely satisfactory to
him, the subject was dropped.

There Is serious missionary work at

which ought to be undertaken with

bringing well-to-do and fashionable
women to a realization of their re-
sponsibllities in the matter of dress.
Every year the fashionable fabrics are
getting more expensive. every year
the trimmings and the findings for
the simplest costume mean greater
outlay of money. Not only are street
and evening gowns more elaborate,
but fashion is now debating costly
toilets to take the place of the simple
and appropriate morning gown. And
this at a time when the cost OF mere
living is ruinously high.
