Naraganseft Pier, july s0.-Persis-
tent reports that 100000 worth of gems
were stolen from the summer home of
John Fl. Hanan of New York are cir
culated among the members Of the
summer colony.
Following SO close on the announce
ment that jewelry valued at $4,000
was stolen from the cottage of G. c,
Rumsey, son-in-l law of the late E. HI.
Hartman, the report of the robbery is
generally credited by the eolonists.
Mr.. Hanan, however, denied her jew
els were stolen, and the local police
are said to have received no report Of
a robbery at the Hanan home.
Later Mrs. Hanan admitted The theft
and said the loss was at least $150,000.
Mr.. Hanan is seriously i'll and is not
acquainted with the robbery, which oc-
Cured Friday night.
The articles taken included a dia-
mond necklace, a. pearl necklace and
a pair Of rare black diamond earrings
surrounded by white diamonds.
The peculiar feature Of the robbery
is that some particularly valuable
gems were left in the bureau from
which the others were taken.
1t is supposed from this the job was
hurried. Three detective agencies are
working on the case. but no clue has
been found.

Sec. Gibbs Refers Matter ta
Interstate Commerce Body

The impression seems TO have gain
ed credence that the recent decision in
the Minnesota rate case has benefited;
Fargo, which no doubt is the result of
the misleading statements made
through one Of the Fargo papers which
seem to indicate that Fargo nser-8
chants, jobbers and shippers generally
are better fortified by reason of this
reduction to care for their trade.
The facts are however, that this is
not true as the re -estabI bIishment OF the
old rate effective In September, II 906,
In compliance with the decision Iii this
case, gives to Moorhead class and
commodity rates that are nearly 10 per
cent less than are published irl the
same tariffs to- Fargo proper, and on
coal the rate to Fargo is 40 cents per
ton higher than to- Moorhead, which
