WORK AT SAN JOSE
Mrs. Margaret SeeIey's Gems
Stolen During Dance Hour
ISpecial Dispatch TO The Call

Especial Dispatch to ne Call
SAN JOSE, Feb. 21.-The jewelry
stolen at the Hotel Vendome Friday
night during the progress of smart set
ball masque was the property of Mrs.
Margaret Seeley, widow of the late L.
r. Seeley of San Francisco. Mrs. Seeley
was spectator in the ballroom at the
time her room was entered.
A queer feature is the fact that the
room was entered by the thief almost
the first time that the room had been
left without an occupant. Mrs. Seeley
is convalescing from an illness and has
been in charge of nurse for some
time.
The police ascertained that collie
dog had been left in the room. 1t is
believed that if stranger entered the
apartment during the absence the ami
NAL would have caused disturbance.
The officers are still of the opinion
that the person who robbed the Dough-
erty residence of diamonds and other
gems also robbed Mrs. Seeley.
