sary by the generous increase in the
salary of teachers. There were
about 70 voters present which is

a third were women.

The marked increase in Windsors

can see no reason why any one, no
matter how high his station, should
be protected'
Mystery Solved, He Says
This statement has caused consd-
cradle speculation here as to it's
exact meaning, particularly as the
Sheriff refused to elaborate upon it..
He gave the intimation that he knew
who was responsible for the disap-
pearance Of the jewels. and declared
emphatically that it was some one
within the Caruso household.
District Attorney Young announced
this afternoon that the proposed John
Doe proceedings to be held in the
Caruso home had been postponed
again, owing to the pressure of
County Court work. They will begin
either Friday or Saturday next, he
said. 1t is at this hearing that some
Of the evidence hinted at by Sheriff
Kelly Will be presented.
In the mean time, the host OF private
detectives engaged in an attemp. to
solve the mystery are busily digging
up the Caruso estate in an effort to
recover the missing treasure. Those
not engaged in this useful work are
employed in guarding Mrs. Caruso and
her infant daughter. The estate COM
prises 100 acres.
Sheriff Kelly. in his statement this

our investigation. I am, Of course. un-
liable to give ont any information re-
garding the contents of the report
am preparing for the District Attorney
Naturally, that is confidential with MI
Young, who intends, I understand, to
use some Of the information at the
John Doe hearing which will be held
later in the week
Il may say, however, that the report
contains what l believe will prove SEN
sational revelations as to what hap
pened to the Caruso jewels. am salts
hed that no outside thief took those
jewels and I can see no reason for
pursuing the investigation any further
along certain lines We have as vet
no evidence warranting the arrest of
any one. but for one can see no rea-
son why any cne, no matter how high
his station, should be protected"
Asked for his opinion of the work
OF the private detectives now digging
up the grounds in search for the gems,
the Sheriff said:
Il guess it will be pretty good ex-
ercise for those detectives if they keep
1t up regularly"
The guard for Mrs. Caruso and her
baby consists of five Pinkerton de-
tectives, who will continue in their
role until the famous tenor returns
