New York, Feb. 26.-Mrs Maldwin Drummond. formerly Mrs Naxuhali Field, IT,, of Chicago, was robbed of a fortune in Jewels last night aboard a trans Atlantic liner. Diamonds. pearls and other gems to the value of ap-- proximately $180.000 disappeared mys- tertously from her stateroom on tho steamship Amerika, of the Hamburg American line, some time between 9.30 o'clock last evening and 5.30 o'clock this morning.
 The loss was reported immediately after the liner docxed at Hobolren to- day and the police of Hobolren and New York are working on the case Mrs. Drummond hastened to the Hotel Plaza, declining to discuss her loss The Hamburg American line disclaims all responsibility, on the ground that staterooms do so at their own risk. To the police Mrs. Drummond described the missing jewels as follows:
 List of Missing towels. Two strings of pearls of 27a pearls each.
 One string of 2s3 pearls
 One large black pearl ring set with diamonds. One large white pearl ring set with diamonds. One pair large pearl earrings ses with diamonds.

A wireless message sent from the 1 Amerika as she neared port summon ed detectives down the bay i'm . tug. | They learned from Mrs. Drunnmond the details of the theft, and began . comb l ing of the ship and a search of the crew; but not a trace of the jewe1k was found.
 Taken from Cabinet Drawer Mrs Drummond explained that en- cepti at night she wore the jewels d. most constantly on her person. bqst kept them under her waist and did. net
 display them at any time even while dining. Last night on retiring she | placed them in cabinet drawer of ths stateroom, as she had dome every oth-
 CT night of the voyage No one had access to the stateroom, she added, be- sides her husband, herself and her maid. The maid she holds above sus- pision.
 Arising early this morning to make
 her toilet before the liner doci1ed, ahe was startled to find the drawer empty. The captain of the .Amerika WaS quick
 ly notified and . quiet investigation was begun before an aerOgram oalled
 police authorities on shore. Stewards

 were searched, and when the detectives arrived there were quiet inquiries among the 13S first cabin passengers
 aboard.
 Baggage of Passengers Searched. | Not a clue appeared, however, SC the customs aatthofdt1eS were appealed to, and under g1lise of baggage inspec- tion everyone's luggage was siftsj thoroughly. But 50 far as could be learned not even a suspicion resulted Mrs. Drummond could give no hint
 which would aid the authorities, but | kI,r.A ,sh,<e rs,1v . was left unlocked during the night .. FUnder such circumstances it would : have been possible for a thief to enter the apartment while the occupants
 slept and~ make away with the jewels
 unroard and unseen.
 The customs men made 1t a point tc
 examine carefully the baggage and personal belongdngs of not only the
 first cabin passengers, but of the 3ot , mem end women in the second cabin however, and the police must now ex-
 tend their search to pawnshops. Victim Worth Million and . Half II Mrs. Drummond was Miss Albertins t l Huck, daughter ok Louis c. Huck o 1 Chicago. Her flrSt husband was Mar shall Field.
