HARTMAN HOME
ROBBED OF GEMS
Necklace and Earrings
Worth S65,000 Taken
from Safe

Jewels valued at $65,ooo have van
ished from a wall safe in the home OF
Mrs. +. II. Hartman, at Fifth Avenue
and Sixty-ninth Street. Mrs. Harri-
man herself discovered her loss when
she sought the gems to wear at the
opening of the opera last week.
The Jewels consist Of diamond and
ruby necklace with pendant valued at
$4,000 and a pair of pearl earrings
valued at $4,000. Shutting the safe
door Mrs. Hartman went to the opera
without her necklace.
As soon as she returned she IN
formed the police of the theft, but In
such manner as to insure secrecy.
she talked to a representative OF the
Commissioner and detectives were as
signed who set 10 work without even
their immediate superiors knowing the
nature Of thsir task.
A private detective agency was also
called in and similar injunction Oh
secrecy laid upon its head. Circulars
describing the gems have been sent 10
pawnbrokers, as the detectives believe
that an effort may be made to dispose
of the necklace stones few at time.
The safe was locked when Mrs
Hartman opened it, and appeared to
show no signs Of violence. A thorough
search of the house convinced her that
the pieces of jewelry had not been
mislaid. In calling on detectives for
helm she was careful to insist that no
member of her household was under
/ suspicion.
1t was denied at Headquarters that
any robbery had been reported from
the Hartman home. and the detective
agency was equally reticent. c. g.
Tegethof, agent for the f. II. Harri-
man estate, asserted that he knew
nothing about the disappearance OF any
gems.
Three years ago Mrs. Charles Carey
ppmsev. a daughter of Mrs. Hartman
was robbed of $4,000 worth of jewels
at Narragansett Pier. The thieves were
never discovered nor the gems FOUND
and il is said that since that time Mrs
Hartman has saldom appeared with
her valuable jewels.

CARUSO A VICTIM
OF BLACKMAILER
Letters Demand That the
Tenor Give Man $4,000
in Jamaica

Enrico Caruso, the Italian tenor, liv-
ing at the Hotel Knickerbocker, has re-
ceiyed, each day for the last two weeks,
threatening letters demanding that he
give 10 the author Of them. who signs
himself "A Friend" $4,000.
These letters insist that the tenor
come to Jamaica, bringing the money
with him, at o'clock some morning.
When he arrives there, the letters con-
tinue, he is to ride slowly through the
streets Of the village until a man ap-
proaches him with the words, 81 am the
man."
Following this. Signor Caruso is TO
turn over the $4,000 to the stranger.
II he does not DO this. the letters
threaten, he will be killed.
Up to the present the singer has not
notified the police. According TO his
friends he treats the matter somewhat
in the light Of joke and is endeavor-
ing to find the man himself.
So far he has not been successful.
Signor Caruso could not be seen las,
evening. II was said at the Hotel
Knickerbocker that he was dining our
with friends. 1t is understood. how
ever, that he is closely guarded where
ever he goes, for fear that the author
of the letters, who has lately become
more and more threatening. will at
tempt 10 do him injury.
The letters are written in an Hitter
ate hand, apparently by an Italian;
The first few Of them were mailed
from Brooklyn. The remainder nave
borne a Manhattan postmark.
In 1910 another band of blackmailers
attempted to extort $4,000 from the
tenor. They were arrested and tried
and two Of them are now serving SEN
tences.

Drive Along the Cerna
Ridge Captures Crest
North of Goal
FALKENHAYN GETS
2,10O PRISONERS
Closing on Campulung
Railway - Bavarlans
Storm Height

London, Nov. 1.-THE Serbian
army Is driving forward along the
ridges east Of Monastir. They have
advanced we'll beyond the Monastir
line, and are fanking the Bulgarian
positions on the plain east of the
city.
Pivoting their attack on Iven,
which lies almost directly east of
Monastir, King Peters troops moved
eastward and northward to-day. A
crest north Of the town was carried
by storm, while TO the east their line
was brought close to Grunishte.
French Capture Hill
Meanwhile, along the heights
skirting the plain, the French con-
tinued to make progress. Before
Yarashok, the last Bulgarian strong
hold on the hills buttressing the low
land, they attacked Monastery Hill
Severe fighting followed and both
sides lost heavily. The Teuton forces
finally were driven out.
On the plain the cavalry is push
ing along the right bank of the
Cerna. Negocani, east of the Viro,
has been occupied and the front
brought on line with the Russian
positions on the Viro, to the west
and four miles south Of Monastir.
No effort has been made to con-
tinue the advance directly south of
Monastir. Apparently this move. is
waiting on the progress Of the Serbian
drive on the heights to the east. The
Allied strategy seems to be another
of the fanking operations that have
proved so successful in the campaign.
Plan Double Attack
The Serbs are breaking through the
Bulgarian defences north Of the lven-
Yarashok line. Once these positions
have fallen, the enemy's positions on
the plain east of Monastir will be
turned and the Bulgars will be forced
TO fall back. Then the Allies can at
tack the city both from the east and
from the south, squeezing the foe out.
On the Struma front the British are
carving forward the offensive they
began yesterday. The town Of Barakli'
on the right bank of the river. has been
captured. This brings sarraiPs forces
close to the Seres-Deminhissar rail-
wav. II this is cut the first long step
toward clearing the Bulgars out OF
Macedonia will have been taken.
On the rest of the southern front
there is little infantry activity, al
though the guns continue their duel.
Il seems likely. that despite the late
nes, Of the season, Sarrail will attempt
a thrust up the vardar Valley. the di-
rect road to Nish. Attacked at three
points on the Macedonian line, the Bull
rars would be hard-pressed.

SOME OF THE CLUBS PASS
RESOLUTIONS SOME Do NOT

All of the democratic clubs met on
Saturday and reorganized and elected
delegates to the county convention ex-
cept the JaIapa club which met and
took a recess until Wednesday. The
constitution provides that all the
clubs shall meet on Saturday and if
any other day is chosen the executive
committee must give notice of the
time and place The point with this
club is that it met and did not fin
ish so recessed until Wednesday
which VIII be the same meeting.
Several CT the clubs passed resolu-
tons endorsing President Wilson and
some favorite son.
! Ward ] passed resolutions endors-
! ing resident Wilson and also B. V
Chapman for solicitor and Fred Domi-
nick for congress. President Cromer
( tsought it going too far TO endorse
] CHAPMAN and Dom:nick but the Club
oyerruIed him. In passing We might
note that the Belton club endorsed
John a. Horton for congress.
Prosperity club on motion Of DR.,
Wyche passed resolutions endorsing
Wilson. So did the SiIyerstreet club
and the o'Neall club. And the Chap
pells club And possibly some other
| club. The Chappells club endorsed
W. R. Reid for county auditor: And
the West End club endorsed c. W.
DOUGLAS for magistrate for Nos. I and
Is. The silverstreet club passed reso-
lutions favoring the county to county
campaign. !.
| There may have been other clubs
that passed resolutions but they were
not reported to The Herald and News.
While there was some evidence Of
factional lines being drawn the meet
! ings Of the clubs were devoid of any
bad spirit ard bitterness. The at
tendance at most Of the clubs was un-
usually full. In some cases there was
almost the entire voting strength
present.
From looking over the list of dele
gates the indications point to ma
jority of delegates who were or are
allied with what is known as the
Blease or anti-Manning faction.
The Herald and News hopes that
the convention will be free from BIT
terness and that it will be impossible
to arouse the old factional lines and
that the candidates for the various
Offices may be able to go before the
voters standing on their individual
merits and fitness for the positions
which they may seek.
