EATS JEWEL THEFT CLUE
Ex.conviet, Caught Selling Pearls,
Chews Secret Writina

Bits Of torn and chcwed paper are
believed to contain information of the
secret whereabouts of S275, 900 in jewels
stolen from former Philadclphian. \
former convict in the Eastern Pcntcn-
tiary is charged with the theft.
Mrs. Clarence Millhiser, formerly of
this city, now of Richmond. Va. had
pcarls costing nearly S27J 900 stolen
in the Biltmore Hotel, New York. last
June.
James +. Foye. clerk in the hotel at
the time. who served time here in DON
ncction with IL 5000, 900 swindling case, T.,
was arrested yesterday as he entered
bank in New York to cash a $50. 900
check given in payment for nine pearls
said to be from the stolen necklace.
New York police have been unable
to make FOyc tell where the other jewels
arc located. While undergoing the third
degree at the Tombs. he drew piece
of paper from his pocket tore it into
small pieces and then began chewing
the pieces before he could be stopped.
The police believe the paper contains
information Of the other jewels. Hone
of forcing Foyc to confess is not strong
because when arrested in Philadclphia
in the winding case. he calmly refused
to tell where S31 900 the police could
not locate was sccrctcd.
The search for the Millhiser Jewels
has been continuous since their loss
Mrs. Millhiscr gave two bags of Jewels

MISS CALVIN WON'T
QUIT CAPITAL JAIL
Philadelphia Picket and Com

Behind Bars
FOOLISH, SAYS lRlSHWOMAN
Bv a sloE corrcspmdcnt


Washington, April 10.LAll the lure
of bright spring day, three square
meals and the association of friends
failed to bring Miss Mary Calvin, of
Philadelphia. out of the district Jail
today. With Miss Mary Quinn. of Bos-
ton, she insisted on staying behind bars
with ordinary criminals" pending the
preliminary hearing to be- given the
Irish pickcts Monday before the federal
authorities here.
ITS n shame. said Miss Obrcnncu.
of Dublin, ireland one of the directing
heads of the pickcts. But they are
women of great spirit, and won't come
out.
I'VE pleaded with them not to 20 to
Jail. tried to persuade them to accept
bond, and last night sent n committee of
five women to see them and ask them to
come out, but they wouldn't even see
us. They sent out word they wanted
to stay in jail
Foolish, Says Dublin Woman
g | think it's foolish-thcir first night
in the House of Detention was enough
but this is their particular. protest
against the presence of troops in Ire
land.
Miss Calvin is said by her com.
patriots to have been seriously i'll. and
on diet nt the present time. When
they found she would not quit Jail. they
sought permission from the warden to
send her special food so her dict might
not be interrupted. This was refused
as violation of regulations. The
warden declared the prisoners are well
cared for and fed and pointed out that
the pickcts might leave whenever they
wished, upon furnishing the required
bond.
Miss Katherine McKcon. of Philadcr. /.
phia, arrested with Miss Calvin and
Miss Quinn. gave bond and returned
home last night to get change of
clothing for the imprisoned pickcts. She
said she would have gone to Jail with
them but for the necessity Of her trip.
No Picketing Today
After their strenuous performances
of the last week the pickcts spent "A
reasonably quiet day at the Lafayette
Hotel today. Some of them journcycd
to the Capitol to call on senators and
representatives in the capse of n lib
Grated ireland. but pickcting was called
off until Monday.
Frank =. Walsh. who was due here
today to arrange for the pickets' legal
defense, will not reach Washington
until tomorrow. it was announced. Tho
pickcts' leaders declared bail fund OF
more than $40, 900 is available for their
use and said those arrested will be
defended by Walsh and group of
assistants from New York and Wash e
ington.
Leaders of the Irish sympathizers
contend the United States can compel
England to free Ireland by Withholding
credits and refusing to extend the time
for interest payments on British loans
until the republic is recognized.
