ing to J.. T. Green. of Reuger's Hotel.
Green first missed the gems. valued at
$1,000, when his attention was called
TO the sudden return of his trousers.
They had been out only fifteen minutes.
This caused him to remember the gems
were in the pockets. The police were
telephoned and the gems soon recov-
cred. The pressing club merely held
the diamonds, awaiting call from the
owner.
Bertilion Operator ToIen received a
telephone call at headquarters yester-
day, saying that jewel box. con-
tanning diamonds, had been found in
new garage, In rear of 1907 Monu-
ment Avenue. Detectives Bryant and
wiltshire called at the garage. where
the informant. a painter, said he had
discovered the Jewels. They were iden-
titled as a part of a collection of gems
stolen some time ago from the home
of r. Henry HARDWOOD, 2200 Monument
Avenue. The jewels recovered were
valued at about $500. The collection
contained pendants and chains.

Though the General Assembly of

1t Is believed by citizens of Bon Air
and others interested in the change
CT location Of the institution that the
act of the session of 1914 will permit
the sale and removal.
Sections 4 and of the act passed
In 1914 contain the following clauses
on which those who want the home
moved rest their hope:
Nothing In this act or In the ac-
ceptance of the said deed by the
State shall be construed to prevent
the sale of said property and change
of location OF the home"
The Governor and the board are
hereby authorized to make such sale
and the location of the home else
where, If. in their judgment, the same
shall be deemed advisable"
Plans Being Considered.
Believing that these words give the
passage OF the bill which was intro
duced in and passed by the House to
fail In the Senate at the session Just
closed, those interested In the re-
moval of the home are understood to
be considering tentative plans for

State may accept for the Bon Air

new site and erecting the necessary
buildings for the institution. The gem

annually fo,.z the maintenance of the

from the sale OF the property will be
