|s150,000 IN Gems
TAKEN | BY Thieves
WEALTHY IEAsTERM SOCIAL
LEADER ADMITS THEFT OF
FORTUNE IN JEWELRY. rs

Narragansett Pier, r. l., July 80. -
Jewelry worth at least 3150,0OO was
stolen from Shore Acres, the summer
residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. J.. H.
Hanan, Friday night. The $4,000
robbery In the home OF G. G. Rum
soy, son-in-law of the late Il. II. Harri-
man, occurred on Saturday night.
Reports that the Hanans had been
robbed were denied until today when
Mrs. Hanan told the story Of their
loss. Mr.. Hanan is seriously Ill and
had been kept in ignorance Of the
robbery. An unwillingness to disturb
him influenced his wife to withhold
the facts until this time.
The articles taken included dia-
mond necklace, a pearl necklace, two
diamond encrusted watches, set of
star saphires surrounded by dia-
monds, q pendant, a brooch, and a
pair Of rare black diamond ear rings
surrounded by white diamonds.
"A peculiar feature Of the robbery
was that some particularly valuable
gems were left In the bureau drawer
from which the others were removed.
They could hardly have been over
looked and this suggests that the job
was hurried one. Mrs. Hanan sell
dom wears the jewels and would not
ordinarily have had them at Shore
Acres. They had been brought over
from New York at time when she
had expected to give her annual re.
ception to Governor and Mrs. Pothier.
The illness Of Mr.. Hanan made II
necessary to cancel the function.
The jewelry was taken from Mrs.
Hanan's bo,1doir a few moments after
she had left the house to attend a
reception The loss was discovered
within thirty minutes but although
three detectives agencies have been
working on the case since Monday
morning no tangible clue has been
found.

Calumet, Mich, July 30.-A crucial
Incident In the copper mine strike was
scheduled for development today, the
operators having been asked by Gen
eral p. L. Abbey to consider pro.
posal emanating from Lansing that q
conference between employers and
employees be held in the governors Of.

the operators considered 1t would
place them In the position Of recogniz.

endorsing the scheme because Of its
pronouncement was coincident with

The union leaders here were still
jubilant over the outcome Of Ma.
honey's visit and expressed the belief
that the failure Of the companies to
act on the suggestion of the governor
would result In an early withdrawal OF
at least part Of the state militia.

stones at Ahe guardsmen. One Of the
missiles grazed sentry's head and he
fired into the air. Showers Of stones
followed and the other sentries f1red
