FINDS NECKLACE
WORTH $65o,00O
English Workman Picks Up
Rare Pearls Stolen by
Band of Thieves.

LONDON. September 16.-A workman
this morning found on sidewalk prac-
tically the entire pearl necklace, valued
at $65O,OOO. which was stolen July 1G while
in transit by mail from Paris to London
The man was going to work in High
bury. a northern district of London, when
he noticed the pearls lying In tissue pa
per. On picking them up he found there
were fifty-eight. He took them to the
nearest police station, where they were at
once recognized as part Of the famous
necklace. from which only one pearl is
now missing.
Five Men Arrested.
September five men. three English
men and two Austrians, were arrested
when trying to dispose of the pearls in
London. They are believed by the police
to belong to a notorious international
gang OF thieves.
The workmen who found the valuable
jewels Informed the police that they
were carelessly wrapped in a piece of
tissue paper. He said he first passed
them by, as he thought the package
was merely ball of crumpled waste
paper. He kicked it with his foot and
felt something inside and then decided
to take closer look. with the result
that he found the package contained a
number of large pearls. The necklace
!, was originally composed Of sixty-one
graduated pearls weighing altogether
1850 grains. The central pearl
weighed over forty -seven grains. The
string Of pearls was fastened by dia-
mond snap of rare workmanship.
Was Clever Robbery.
The robbery Of the necklace from the
registered mail was carried out in a
very clever manner The postal seals
on the original packet when 1t was
delivered to the London dealer did not
appear to have been disturbed in any
way. but when 1t was opened 1t was
found to contain. instead Of the Jewels,
only a number of pieces of French
sugar.
Later today the package of pearls

tectives, to police headquarters at Scot
land Yard, where Max Mayer. the dfa-
mond merchant who owns them, was
waiting and Immediately loentined
them. .
It had become generally known that
the police Investigation into the sensa-
tional robbery had been narrowed down
to O very small radius within the last
day or two, and the current theory Is
that the thief who had the jewels in his
possession realizing the imminence OF the
danger Of arrest, lost the pearls where
they were SO dramatically discovered by
the lucky workman.

pearls not belonging to the necklace
/ which were packed In the game registered

single pearl forming part OF the neck

Bear Their Arms Proudly.

Since the last celebration of independ-
ence day many schools have been placed
under the military organization. The
enrolled students are dressed in uniforms
of dark green and wear round hats with
cockades of varicolors to designate their
schools Next to them in line were the
cadets of the military schools, many OF
whom appeared scarcely able for lack
of years, to pack the rifles which they
proudly carried.
Probably not since the centenary
parade. IN the final days of President
Porfirio Diaz, has there been seen at the
capital a larger number of men of the
regular army establishments in line. The
artillery, the cavalry and the foot
soldiers numbered thousands and stretch
ed for miles through the streets.

>The Anti-Saloon League, in the event
the board takes different view of the
matter, probably will instruct Attorney
Shoemaker to oppose the granting or
every license for a saloon located in any
OF the prohibitive zones The league, ac-
cording to present indications, is waiting
for the excise board to show its hand
before indicating how aggressive a policy
II may adopt In insisting that the various
sections of the law designed to reduce
the number OF saloons were meant to
become effective November l, this year.
The hearing yesterday. the first to be

nicipal building. Several women were IN

there Is nothing in the law to indicate
that women may not be proprietors Of sa-
looms and that IL Congress had intended

Sees Inconsistency.
Attorney Shoemaker took the position
that as the law prohibits women from
entering barrooms. 1t would be inconsist-
cnt to have women as proprietors of
drinking establishments. He took issue
with Mr. Davis Interpretation of what
was meant by the provision for the per
soma! supervision OF the licensee." Per-
sonal supervision would mean, according
20 Mr.. Shoemaker. that the woman pro-
prietor would have 10 be present in her

Bee that II was properly conducted.
Hugh z. Harvey president of the
Washington Mercantile Association, made
the closing argument upon the intent OF
Congress In prov ding that no saloon
keeper who conducts his place of busi-
ness properly shall be deprived of his
license before November l. 1914 Mr.
Harvey said II was not the intention OF
Congress that the prohibitive sections
should operate immed ately to force
liquor dealers out of business, but that
the time was advanced to November L
1914. in order that they might not be put
60 a hardship In winding up their busi-
Yess affairs.

e matter when Alexander Bell stated
that the question Of womenS eligibility
to maintain saloons is premature in view

within the law shall be deprived of his
license or required to change his location
before November l, 1914
Chairman Sheehy asked for Mr.. Shoe
makers opinion on this point, and the
Anti-Saloon League attorney. replied by
explaining his views as to the prohibi-
tive sections generally. He stated as his
opinion that the restrictive clauses, such as
that not more than three saloons may be
permitted on one block, Were meant to
become operative November 1, this year,
and that IL more than 800 saloons were
left, after these provisions had been car
ried into effect, the number in excess of
the 300 limit prescribed by Congress
should not be disturbed until after No
veInber I, 1914.
The excise board may take this view
of the case. but as yet 1t has given no
intimation Of what policy 1t intends to
follow. Should 1t adopt the views OF
the anti-iquor interests 1t is probable
that at least 100 Of the 46S saloons which
have applied for permits to operate dur
ing the coming license year would be
-orced out OF business, approximately
that number Of retail establishments. 1t
ia estimated, being located in the re-
strictivc areas.
