DIAMOND ROBBERY
mYSTlFIEs POLICE
AFFAIR OF MAGNITUDE REPORT.
Ed FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Oct. Am investiga-
tion which followed the discovery that
a diamond sunburst was missing from
the ware rooms Of Oliver M. Ferrand,
a Maiden Lane diamond importer, has
disclosed what may prove to be one
OF the biggest .robberies in the dia-
mond district. Already It is said, jew.
els valued at $4,000 are known to
have disappeared and the inventory
of stock has not yet been completed.
1t has been disclosed also that other
robberies probably had been going on
for years and It seems probable that
when the inquiry has been completed,
the amount will be much more than
the amount now involved.
When the investigation has been
in progress Mr.. Ferrand has been en-
deavonng to find n OF his Oldest
and most trusted employees, who has
been away from the city for several
months. This man should have Re
turned from his vacation on Septem'
her 1. but he does not come nor has
any word been received from him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-For the
first time since the passage Of the

against increased rates will be efrec.

WHY THERE Is NOW A REVOLT
AMONG THE REPUBLICANS
OF WEST VIRGINIA.

Below we give an extract from

mittee OF the national Republican
committee appointed to hear the
contest between the Republican fac
tons of West Virginia Read IL
and ask. is IL any wonder that the
better cement OF the Republican
party OF West Virginia is up in
arms against the high-handed m eth
DDS practiced by S. v. Matthews.
Virgil Highland, Charles Swisher.
Stephen b. Ellins and their bench
men?
The following IS an extract from
the briof filed in behald of the Lin
coin Republicans in regard to the
republican state committee which
decided I'm favor OF Swisher:
The composition OF the commit
tie, follows:
First.-Elliott Northcott. U. S.
district attorney for the southern
district OF West Virginia.
Second.-Hugh Ike Shott. nost-
master at Bluefield.
Thirds. c. Denham, post
master at Clarksburg.
Fourth DIR. S. NJ. Steele. super
intendent of the Weston Insane as,-
lum.
Fifth.-Charles ID. Elliott, y. S
marshal for the northern district.
Sixth-Charles p. Light, memba.
of the STATE Board OF Agriculture;
a close personal friend OF Post
master Cohen. at Martinsburg.
Seventh-O. A. Petty. late post
master of Charleston, and who was
removed from that office by the
president for his attempt to commit
a nameless crime upon one of the
female employees of the office
The case being so plain and well es-
tadlished, no investigation was ever
attempted or demanded.
Nghth-Samuel Dixon. a Fayette
county coal baron, who until within
the last two years, was one of the
most inveterate enemies of tax re-
form to be found anywhere, but who
came over and Joined the machine
after an accident had occurred i'm
one of his mines, costing the lives
of some twenty eight or thirty of
h,s employees. owing to what Cover
nor Dawson said in his message to
the legislature in 1907, was in vio-
lat!on Of the state Jaws in running
his mines. 1t has been openly
charged time and again and has
never be, attempted to be denied
that he had the promise OF the state
administration to be shielded ana
protected in the unlawful manner
IN which he was conducting his min
Ing enterprises, for his support and
assistance as a member of the state
central committee. AS an evidence
OF that fact, it is only necessary to
