Anna Reece and Nose Dunlap, negroes, who were servants at the Rhoton home, at Tweuty-thlrd and Marshall, are under arrest at the city jail. while the police are making every effort to locate the stolen jewelry. The diamonds were stolen from a jewel case in a closet at the Rhoton home several days ago. It was only through an accident that four other stones worth $3,000 were not obtained by the thieves, Mrs. Rhoton having sent them to a jeweler to be set only few hours before the time when the robbery is believed to have been executed The loss of the stones was dis covered on Tuesday afternoon and shortly afterward the city detec- tives arrested the negroes who had been servants at the Rhoton home at the time the theft must have taken place. They have since been held, but have refused to divuige information as to the whereabouts of the diamonds or admit their complicity in the theft.
 A four-carat diamond set in a lions head ring, which was an heirloom of Mrs. Rhoton's and is valued al $500, was the most val uable of the stones taken. Three small diamonds set in a bar pin and a small stone in a broach set. ting were the others and are esti- mated to be of an aggregate value of $z0O.

 Need MotherIne.

Minneapolis, July e4.-That Min neapolis needs 100 women policemen is the opinion of Dr. Anna Howard shaw, president Of tho National Wom- an Suffrage association. who address ed the students in the chapel of the University of Minnesota.
 She gave 1t as her opinion that should the demands of suffragists be granted. 1t would not be too much tc expect that women should do thell share in the police and fire depart ments.
 One hundred women specialists pu, on the police force of any city would make for improvement In civic condi tIone," said Dr. Shaw. The criminal needs 'mothering.'
 If women were on the police force their watchfulness. care and attention 10 people who need their wholesome influence, backed up by authority would prove q most useful and uplift Ing measure"

TEXAS COAST SUFFERED
 FROM THE RECENT STORM
Half Of Bay City unroofed and 1vesy Building in veIaseo Partly
 Wrecked.

Houston, Tex. July s4.--The West Indian hurricane, which swept from one end of the Texas Gulf coast to the other claimed a toll of i2 human lives' outside of Galveston, fatally injuring four others and seriously wounding 10. according to the details Of the storm available here. Whole towns were de- vastated and the wreck and ruin to property will amount to hundreds oi thousands of dollars.
 Passenger trains from i2 to 15 hours late came into Houston. Freight trains are lost throughout the stricken district. Details of the disaster on the southwest coast of Texas are meager, as wires were stripped from tho poles and railway communication Is impossible.
 The loss of the pleasure yacht Merriam, reported In the Houston chan nel, was denied and It is reported safe at Morgan Point
 The territory around Bay City seems to have been the center of the storm. which moved southwest from Galveston. For four hours there TO milo wind swept across the country. carrying everything before It. At Bay City. about 50 per cent of the business section was damaged, in clading the opera house. one bank, the court house. the new high school building and the city jail Tn the jail the cages were left standing and the prisoners were exposed to view. but were safe.
 ! Every building in velasco. near Bay City was unroofed or partly demolish- ed and the town was under four feet of water People are escaping in boats from Colorado river. a mile away.
 i Reports from the special train on which General Manager w. c. Van vleck of the Southern Pacific railroad left Houston. indicate that the lower coast country suffered greatly.
 The loss will total thousands of dol lars and in some districts reports state that the storm was worse than the disaster of 1900. which devastated Galveston.
 Eagle Lake seems to have suffered on parity with Bay City. But few houses there escaped the fury of the storm The same situation is report cd from Lissie. Nowatta and East Der nnrd. though there were no fatalities.

ANOTHER HORSE IS STOLEN
Robert I. Coe the Loser. but Animal
 is Recovered.

Little Rock, Ark, July B. The thieves who have been stealing horses right and left the past few days added another theft to the list yesterday, making five within the past six days. The victim of yesterdays theft was Robert T. Coe, of l4I2 Wright avenue.
 Mir. Coe had ridden on horse back to the Oyerstreet Grain Com pany's rlace of business at b22 Center and tied the animal in the rear of tue place. He was inside for an hour or more and when he came out his horse was gone. However, an ancient specimen of horse flesh stood about five feet from where he had tied his horse. No one knew who the old horse belonged to and it is presumed that the owner of it simply ex- changed his old worn-out plug fol something more valuable.
 The police were notified and immediately went to work on the case. Mir. Coe also searched all afternoon for the horse, but to nc avail. About 9 o'clock the police located the animal tied in front oI SIS Scott street and notified MT, Coe. who went to that place and found his horse. Persons living III that neighborhood said the horse had been tied there since two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two horse blankets which had been on the horse when it disa D. peared were gone, but otherwise nothing was disturbed, the bridls and saddle being left.
 Inquiries about the locality oi the Overstreet Gram Company brought out the fact that a negrt working near by had seen large negro ride off on the horse about ll:50 yesterday morning.
 The old horse was taken in by MT. Overstreet and fed.
