animation of the rose trellis showed marks

Probably there is in all America no
greater concentration of wealth In the
form OF Jewels than there is at Aiken.
And. therefore. It must. like any other
treasure house, attract the predatory
minded. The dinner to which Mrs. Dolan
wore the gems tho last time was q large
one given at a fashionable restaurant. At
the tables hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars worth OF gems were on display. In
fact, 1t IS a common sight to see small
rainhows Of Jewels flashing from tn white
threats and arms of the women in this ex-
elusive dining hall. Though the shades
are sometimes pulled down, they are more
often left lifted. and only seven-foot-high
hedge OF privet acts as a partial screen
against the public gaze. It is, therefore.
no difficult matter for anyone TO mark
down certain Jewels and their owners with.
out being under the necessity OF being one
OF society.
But to SEQ thing is not TO possess It,
and there Is no record Of robberies Of VIC.

far moro difficult for the average cracks
man or burglar than it would be IN largo
city like New York. Inevitably the pres.

SO much Is this 20 that at Aiken the un-
usual custom Of wearing jewelry even on
the golf links has recently come into
vogue. The pearl necklace that was stolen
had been worn by Mrs. Dolan many times
on the Palmetto links.
investigators from New York went
promptly to Aiken and most thorough
examination began OF everyone connected
with Calico Cottage. When 1t was ended
no suspicion could possibly be attached to
any Of the servants, and one theory that
caddies attracted by Mrs. Dolans wearing
the necklace on the links had Skinned UP
the porch and gotten into the room and OPP

to admit that the bur-

The action of the New Jersey State
boxing commission in barring Jack
Dempsey on account OF his war rec
ord, and the trend Of sentiment
against Tia Juana as a site for the

The Brooklander captain was in

Lyons. Hopke, Donovan, Glasscott

Young Wampler, Of York, Pa, the
rugged 155-pound battler, who meets
Jack Andrews, of Baltimore, in the
main bout over fifteen rounds, at the
Ardmore Athletic Club next Monday,
is confident of coming out OF the bat
tie with colors flying. according to
wire received by Promoter Kid Sulli-
van today.
wampler has established an envi-
able record for himself in fistic cir
cles, having battled such men as Leo
Houck, Jeff Smith, Joe Borrel,
Philadelphia favorite, and Bob Mar
tin. He is slated to meet Knockout
Brennan in Altoona, Pa, on January
25. Wampler has wired Kid Sullivan
that he will arrive here Saturday aft
ernoon.

punches with some of the best in his
class. He fought Jack Britton last
week and has recently mixed punches
with Johnny Gill, OF York, Pa, and
Joe Hirsh, of Philadelphia.
