MRS. VATABLE GETS PEARL
Jury Decides She Is Lawful
Owner of $4,000 Gem.

A jury in the Supreme Court decided
Yesterday that Mrs. Jules s. Vatable was
the lawful owner of the $4,000 pink pearl
which was the subject OF a suit by Lud-
wig Nissen, a dealer in precious stones,
who sued TO get possession of the pearl
which he alleged was the one stolen from
him in 1907.
Mrs. Vatable bought the pearl after 1t
had passed through many hands and had
been carried by different persons almost
around the world. II was said to have
belonged at one time to an Indian prince
who hypothecated the gem at Monte
Carlo to settle his gambling debts. In
1907 Mr.. Nissen owned a pearl which he
gave on memorandum TO salesman. He
never got II back. He traced the stolen
GEM he thought. to Mrs. Natable.

TICKET SCANDAL
in COURT TO-DAY
Inquiry Into Complaints of
Opera Subscribers Comes
Before Deuel..
SUMMONSES ISSUED
FOR ALL OFFICIALS
Conversion of Funds and Receipt
of Stolen Goods Will Figure
In Proceedings.

Embezzlement or conversion Of funds
and the reception Of stolen property are
TO be the two criminal detectives toward
which to-day's John Doe inquiry into the
transactions which resulted n the pledg
ing of s15o,OOO worth OF Metropolitan
opera season tickets will be directed.
After receiving the affidavits made by
Frank -. Pavey and A. f. DICK, two OF
the subscribers who were asked by the
Metropolitan Trust Company to pay double
for their tickets, District Attorney Whit
man announced the proceedings would be
begun this afternoon at o'clock before
Magistrate Deuel. Arthur c. Train, As
sistant District Attorney, and Leslie L.
Lockhart, deputy assistant, had previous
ly examined privately all the parties to
the tangled negotiations and II Is the in
tention of Mr.. Whitman to learn just what
part each of the three corporatlons-the
Metropolitan Opera Company, the Metro
polltan Trust Company and Tyson Co.
played in the affair.
Summonses have been issued for all the
officials concerned. These are Beverly
Chew, yice-president of the Trust Com
pany, In whose office the tickets were sur
rendered as collateral for the 100000
loan; Bertram Cruger. treasurer; George
n. Hartmann, secretary, and II. w. Is.
Anderson, assistant treasurer OF the same
concern; John Brown. assistant secretary,
and Earl Lewis. an employe Of the Metro
politan Opera Company, and Richard j.
Hartman, John A. Sullivan and ]. L. Nc
Nance, Of Tyson & Co.
The subscribers have also asked that
T.. De witt Cuyler director Of the opera
company and a member of the executive
committee of the trust company. be sum
moned TO appear Mr.. Cuyler was present
when the loan to Tyson & Co was au-
thorized by the executive committee, and
the opera patrons cannot reconcile his
presence with the statement of the opera
company that It had no knowledge that
the tickets were to be hypothecated.
The specific complaint made in the affi-
davits OF Pavey and Dick is that con-
version Of funds was committed in con-
nection with the special account which
! Tyson & Co opened with the trust COM
pany. This account, il was alleged, was
opened with the intention of safeguarding
in II the amounts paid by the subscribers
and Tyson & Co., according to Hartman
made Withdrawals from the account with
the cognlzance OF the trust company.
Neither Edmund l.. Baylies. Of counsel
for the trust company; Griggs, Baldwin &
Baldwin. attorneys for Tyson & Co, nor
Wise seigsberg, the lawyers for the
opera company, would comment upon the
coming proceedings. Requests for injunc'
tions against the trust company were con
sidered, but II was found such steps would
probably further complicate the already
! involved situation.

OLD-TIMER ASSERTS
State Chairman Refuses to Dis
cuss Tribune's Call-Bannard
Fears Roosevelt PERIL"

There was a prompt and favorable
response yesterday among Republican
leaders here and prominent Repub-
leans throughout the state to the at
titude of The Tribune in calling upon
William Barnes, jr., the Republican
state chairman, to retire in order to
clear the way for new leaders and bet
ter progress of the party in the state.
Some Of the local leaders were dis
inclined TO allow their names to he
used TO back up the feeling they had
against Mr.. Barnes's leadership. be-
lieving that the demand for his resig-
nation at this time would be a little
premature in the absence of good can
didates for his place, but they all
agreed that II was only matter of a
short time before Barnes would have
TO go.
Impetus was given to the sentiment
for Mr.. Barnes's retirement by the res
olution adopted at the meeting OF the
New York Young Republican Club on
Monday night, when the young and
vigorous party element in that organ
ization denounced the ''reactionary'
methods of the present state leader
demanded his retirement. and pledged
itself TO work for the election of,an in
dependent Speaker of the Assembly.
The club demanded broader ma
tionalism' in the spirit displayed
toward Republican state affairs. as OPP
posed to the individualistic doctrines Of
Mr.. Barnes.

Washington, Nov. I.-An Indictment
charging forgery will probably be re-
turned by the grand jury tomorrow
against Sidney Moulthrop as result OF
testimony given to-day by Senator j.
Hamilton Lewis, OF Illinois and his Sec
retary. Joseph Sullivan. The charge will
probably be the forgery Of check for
500. which he is alleged TO have at
tempted TO cash at the Metropolitan Ma
tional Bank, but 1t Is understood that he
will also have to face an indictment
charging the forgery OF Senator Lewis's
name TO the letter addressed to Henry
NJ. Pindell, Of Peoria, regarding Pindelrs
appointment as Ambassador to Russia.
The government prosecutors hinted that
Moulthrop might be charged with several
offences while in Senator Lewis's office.
They asserted that several irregularities
had been discovered and that suspicion
pointed to Moulthrop.
