THIEF LOOTs HOME
OF CHAFFEE

Los ANGELES, Jan. The resi-
.dence of Lieutenant General Adna r
Chaffee was looted tonight by a porch
climber and a more thorough cleanup
was never made by any burglar in this
city. If the thief overlooked anything
movable which was worth stealing, it
has not been noticed. The job netted
the burglar jewelry valued intrinsically
at between. $1,000 and $4,000, consisting
of practically all the gems and golden
ornaments sowned by Mrs Chaffee and
her daughter. except what they hap
pened to be wearing at the time the
thief made the raid.
Since his retirement. General Chat
fee has been. living in a magnificent
house on South Figueroa street and the
place was filed with presents and SOU
venirs received during his long service
in the army. Some of the articles were
of almost priceless value to the family
because of association. The burglar,
whose work bears the stamp of profess
sionalism. drove into the grounds with
a spring wagon. stopped under a rear
window and then reached the second
floor by means Of a ladder. How long
he worked is not known. but he
searched thoroughly every room on that
floor and secured forty or more articles
of jewelry and other valuables. A SER
want detected the thief and gave the
alarm, but the burglar reached his
wagon and, whipping his horse into
run, made his escape before any satis-
factory description of him could be
secured.
