sey. the summer colony here received
greater sensation when the mem
bers learned that jewelry worth at
least $4,000 had been stolen from
Shore Acres, the summer residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Hanan, Friday
night. The $4,000 robbery in the
home Of Charles G. Rumsey occurred
on Saturday night.
Z Report 10 Suppressed.
! Reports that the Hanans had been
robbed were denied until yesterday,
when Mrs. Hanan told the story Of
their loss. Mr.. Hanan is seriously i'll
and has 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 include a dia,
mond necklace, a pearl necklace, two
star sapphires surrounded by dia,
monds, a pendant. brooch and a
pair Of rare black diamond earrings
surrounded by white diamonds.
A peculiar feature Of the robbery
was that some particularly >valuable

was hurried one.
Jewels Seldom Worn.
: Mrs. Hanan seldom 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 reception to Governor and
Mrs. Pothier. The illness of Mr.. Han.
an made 1t necessary to cancel the
function.
The jewelry was taken from Mrs.
Hanan's boudoir a few moments after
she had left the house to attend a re.
ception. The loss was discovered
within twenty minutes, but although
three detective agencies have beeen
working on the case since Monday
morning no tangible clue has been
found.
It is believed here that the same
gang of expert thieves who operated
successfully here two years ago are
again at work. The secrecy main.
tanned for time regarding the two
known losses has led also to reports
Of several other robberies, though the
reports are vague and unconflrmed.

M'ADO0 CHARGES A SCHEME
SEES PLAN OF FINANclERS TO
DEFEAT CURRENCY BILL.
New York City Bankers Are Accused
In Statement Made by the
Secretary.

Washington, July 29.-secretary Mo
Adoo has just issued q statement fiat,
ly charging that the decline Of gov.
eminent two per cent. bonds to 951h
"a new low record-was due "al
most wholly to what appears to be q
campaign waged with every indica,
ton Of concerted action on the part
of number of influential New York
city banks to cause apprehension and
uneasiness about these bonds in or
der to help them in their efforts to de
feat the currency BILL"
Banks throughout the country own
almost entirely $73o,S82,130 Of the two
per cents. Their market value yester
day was approximately $30,000,000 less
than when the banks bought them.
Almost all the entire issue is used
o. security for national bank. notes.
At the present price, however, the
discrepancy between the market val.
ue and the issues Of notes against the
bonds is covered by what Is known
as the five per cent. redemption fund
deposited by the banks with the treas
ury to care for retirements of nation.
al bank notes.
Secretary McAdoo announced II
was not his intention to require the
banks to charge off the present de.
probation below par, but that the
banks might continue to put in the
bonds at par in their statements to
the comptroller Eat least until some
m al no IN
compel the adoption of another
course"
In his statement Secretary McAdoo
declared the two per cents were worth
par notwithstanding their decline in
the New York market. and continued:
THE idea seems to be that the
country banks which hold about two
thirds Of the two per cent. bonds and
use them as the basis for their circu-
lating notes, may be induced to unite
with the New York City banks in op-
position to the bill if they can be
made to believe that the proposed
currency measure is going to injure
these bonds and cause losses to the
banks. This is, of course, unfounded.
Meantime, 1t is folly for any bank
to sell government twos at sacri-
fee because Of any apprehended legis.
lation adverse to government bonds,
as no such legislation will result.
I'm the one hundred and twenty.
four years Of its existence, the gov.
eminent has kept faith scrupulously
with it's creditors and it is not 60
ing to change its honorable character
now. If the necessities Of any bank
oblige it to sell bonds at depressed
prices, that, of course, is another mat
ter-a matter solely for the bank to
determine"
The secretary said that not only
had nothing occurred to impair the
value of the two per cent bonds, but
that the amendment already adopted
by the banking and currency commit
tee of the house enhances their In,
trinsic worth.

GIVES HIS SIDE
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RElA.
TlONs HEARe WILSON.
Members Seem to Differ With Presl.
dent az to Policy In
Mexico.

Washington. July 31.-Ambassado
Henry Lane Wilson's conference with
members Of the senate committee on
foreign relations resulted in stronger
support for his plan to recognize the
Huerta government In Mexico than
he has received at any time since
reaching Washington.
After . three hours questioning Of
the ambassador many members of tho
senate committee expressed the opin-
ion that serious consideration should
be given to his recommendations for
q guarded and restricted recognition
Of Huerta. designed to bolster up the
present government until elections can
be held on October 20.
The determination Of the govern.
ment's Mexican policy does not rest
with the senate, however. and there
was nothing in the situation to in
dictate that President Wilson or Sec
rotary Bryan had wavered in their
determination not to recognize the
Huerta government at present. The
matter presented to the senate CON-
mittee by the ambassador already
had been laid before the president and
secretary Of state and their attitude
against recognition had been based
upon information from other conn.,
Dental sources, many of them at va.
Rance with the reports of Ambas.
sador Wilson.
Two principal points Of difference
have been developed between Ambas-
sador Wilson and the administration.
These relate to the present control
Of Huerta over Mexican affairs, and
to the conditions that would result
from the downfall Of the Huerta gov.
eminent. Ambassador Wilson told the
senate committee that the Huerta gov.
eminent dominated affairs throughout
the republic and had driven the con-
stitutionalists out Of many Of their
strongholds, including the states Of
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
The president, 1t is understood, has
information. considered thoroughly re-
liable by himself and Secretary Bryan,
which shows the constitutionalist
strength to be greatly in excess Of
Ambassador Wilson's claims and indi.
Gates that the Huerta government
dominates the situation only in a
small part Of the republic.
