SAPPHIRE PENDANT VANISHED.
Dropped From Mrs. williams's Necklace In
or Near Hotel Ma jestio Dining Room.

Dropped From Mrs. williams's Necklace in
or Near Hotel Majestic Dining Room.
Mrs. Williams a guest at the Hotel Majes-
ito, asked the police yesterday to help find
a sapphire and diamond pendant which
mysterously disappeared last Saturday
evening In or near the dining room Of the
hotel. Mrs. Williams is the wife Of s. NJ.
Williams, who was formerly vice-president
Of the Central Railroad OF New Jersey.
Mr.. and Mrs Williams and their two
daughters have been stopping since last
fall at the Majestic.
The pendant was made by Tiffany after
q unique design about three years ago.
1t consists of a large pear shaped sapphire.
surrounded by twenty-eix diamonds set
In the shape OF a heart. The police say
that Its value was set at 81 800 when the
loss was reported to them.
On Saturday evening Mrs. Williams put
on the pendant. which was one Of her fav-
orite ornaments, attaching it by links and
a snap catch to her necklace, Mrs Williams
remembers noticing the pendant before the
family went In to dinner. On leaving the
dining room Mrs. Williams took the chair
in the foyer in which she had been sitting
before dinner. Her daughter then called
her attention to the absence OF the orna-
ment. The links attaching it to the neck
lace were broken and had caught on her
dress in falling.
Search was made at once. Little fear Of
losing the ornament wac felt. as Mrs.
Williams had walked barely twenty feet
since the pendant had been in place. Mr..
Williams offered the walters $50 If they suo-
ceeded in picking it up. A reward OF 500
was then posted at the hotel desk. On
Monday the reward increased to $500.
Mr.. Williams thinks that the pendant
dropped to the floor and was picked up by
a waiter or some passing guest. 1t could
hardly have been stolen. he says, as he
and his daughters were with Mrs. Williams
during the half hour In which the pendant
was lost and there was no crowd about.

pointment of George W. Aldridge Of Rooh-
ester to be one of the two additional Rail-

listed between Col Dunn and Mr.. Aldridge
for the last few years, or rather since Col
Dunn made it possible, according to his
friends yesterday, fol, Mr. Aldridge to be
made secretary OF the present Railroad
Commission.
The differences between the two men
ha We been very marked of late, dating from
the time Gov. Odell started in to overthrow
his political creator and benefaotor. Senator
Platt. Dunn was Loyal to Platt Aldridge who
had got his place as secretary Of the Railroad
Commission through Platt and Dunn,
went over to OdelI and was instrumental
in ousting Dunn, Platt's chairman Of the
Republican State committee, In favor Of
Odell. Gov. Higgins in the appointment of
Aldridge, 1t was concluded yesterday re-
garded Odell and not Platt. incidentally
II was stated that Gov. Higgins does not
believe that Col. Dunn will carry out his
threat to resign his place on the Railroad
Commission. Gov. Higgins. it was said,
will not appoint the second Railroad Com
missioner called for by the new law until
he has conferred with Mr.. Odell.
