CARELESS ABOUT JEwELRY
One Explanation Of the Mysterious
100000 Plttsburg Robbery

One explanation OF the mysterious
$4,000 Pittsburg Robbery
By Associated -'ress
PITTSBURG, June 26.-This city is
excited over the Thaw murder fol-
lowed by the report of a 100000 bur-
glary.
Disclosures of the robbery was
made through a leak" unconsciously
dropped by one very close to the
family.
The exact time of the robbery is not
known, but It occurred while the Thaw
family was fl the city, and although
the police and detective forces of the
city were Immediately notified the
matter has been kept under cover until
the present time.
The jewels are said to be some of
rare value gathered by Mrs. William
Thaw in her travelings and include
strings of pearls, diamonds of rare
value and perfect color and silver plate
that was convenient for the robbers to
take away. Heavier pieces of plate of
cumbersome bulk were left behind.
The Pittsburg Post tomorrow will
say of the robbery:
Not Careful of Jewels
line exact GATE OF the. ROBBERY is
withheld, but it is said that it is within
the past few weeks. Mrs. Thaw, 1t was
explained, had never been careful of
her jewels and seldom put them in a
vault or safe of any Lind. They were
scattered about the family rooms and
in Mrs. Thaw's apartments. Providers
could easily have found them In
stealthy search of the house, so that 1t
is imagined the thieves had little
trouble in gathering them.
1.-THE general belief is that the booty
has been carried out of Pittsburg, and
every city in the country has been noti-
fled of the robbery with description
of the pieces of jewelry stolen.
"Al the victims of the robbery
agreed to keep the matter quiet, and
until they had left Pittsburg nothing
was said of the matter.
1.-The loss of this property is one of
the last of the many sensational
epochs that have marked the history
of Lyndhurst.
MRS. Thaw when she left for Europe
last week did so with the intention of
never returning to that house again.
A new and smaller home is being con-
structed and was to have been ready
for occupancy upon her return from
the visit to the Earl and Countess of
Yarmouth" &

the countess of Yarmouth, who killed
Stanford White, the noted architect,
last night, pleading that his act was
justifiable, that White had wrecked

Aside from the prominence of the
prisoner, the setting for the crime was
unique.
Surrounded by more than thousand
persons, who crowded the great OPEN

on what has long been recognized as
one of the greatest monuments to his

DISAGREE OVER
MEAT INSPECTION
LAWMAKERS FAR APART OVER
PAYMENTS AND DATES
Amendment to the Agricultural Bill
Returned to Senate and House
for Their Final Action
Today
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The meat
inspection amendment to the agricul-
tural bill probably will be returned in
the senate and house as in disagree
ment.
The conferees twice had it under dis
cussion today and the indications are
that the differences In regard to the
payment for inspection by the packers
or by the government or whether the
date of inspection must be placed on
cans of meat are irreconcilable. An
other effort to get together Will be
made at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
A complete agreement was reached
on all other matters in the bill.
Practically all of the important
amendments concerning the usual fea-
lures of the agricultural bill were ac-
cepted by the house conferees.
To Investigate White Fly
These amendments include appropri-
ations of $4,000 for the establishment
at points of export of laboratories to
examine and report upon the nature,
quality and condition of seed or grain
to serve as a basis for the fixing of
definite grades; and $4,000 for investi-
eating the insect known as the white
fy" which affects orange growers.
Amendments were retained providing
that 10 per cent of all money received
from each forest reserve each year
shall be paid to the states or territories
In which the reserves are situated to
be expended for the benefit of the pub
lie schools and roads; also the amend
ment for an investigation of the effect
of cold storage upon the healthfulness
of foods.
An amendment eliminated was that
which provided for an investigation OF
crops best adapted to irrigated dis
