LOSES JEWELS WORTH $4,000.
Wife of Sir Gilbert Parker Robbed in
Carlton Hotel, London.

New York, Jan. 22.-Lady Parker, wife
OF Sir Gilbert Parker, the Canadian
novelist and member of the British
mouse OF commons, was robbed of S7R
0OO IN jewels several weeks ago in the
carton hOtel- London, but the fact was
kept secret from the public and was
only revealed in this city since the de-
parture of representative of Scotland
yard for Palm Beach, Fla.
For more than a week the London de-
tective has worked in this city, indie
pendently of the central Office visiting
paWnshops and following other trails.
In the recent political campaign in
England Lady Parker took up a tenn
porary residence in the Carlton. She
was Miss A. =. Van Tine of this city
daughter of the late A. A. Van Tine
ard wealthy in her own right. Her
jewels are we'll known and on this oc-
casion she had in a casket in her room
part of her collection.
There came a knock at her door one
morning and a well dressed man vas
discovered. At sight Of Lady Parker he
apClogized prOfusely. saying he had
made a mistake. having been called to
the room of a friend.
Little was thought of the incident and
Lady Parker went to make some calls.
When she returned she discovered that
the case and it's contents had been ia
ken. Nothing else had been disturbed.
Entrance had been obtained by a mas
ter key.
Tt was Lady Parker's description of
the man who had raped at the door
that caused the Scotland yard man to
take ship for this city. The detective
authorities thought they recognized in
it a man who has made a reputation
as a sneak thief and hotel thief on
two continents. 1t was learned he had
sailed for New York.
He was rot in New York when the
detective arrived. but there were traces
of him here, and after weeks investiga-
ton a clew was found which indicated
that he had gone to Florida.

Chicago.-The municipal health

nature have been brought to the no

cases until now, when prayer instead
of medicine was being used in the
treatment of Mrs Ella Turner, who is
a believer in Dowies teachings. The
woman had been suffering for over "a
hours, and her life was in imminent
peril, as her condition called for an i'm

a physician the woman's husband and

attracted the attention of neighbor,
who reported the case to the police. The
police at once placed the mat

opinion that the health department was
justified in interfering in such extreme
cases. A physician was at once sent to
