HAT SNATCHER is LATEST
TO SCARE DENVER WOMEN

DENVER, Jan. 26.--A That snatch-
er" is the latest pest to terrify the
women of Denver.
He made his debut in the Capitol
hill residence district last night. In
less than ninety minutes five women
were robbed OF their head dress by
this daring marauder who rode noise
lessly by them on a bicycle and then
escaped in the darkness.
The police searched the whole Hill
district, but could find no trace OF
him. Not one of the women whom
he robbed was able to give descrip-
ton of him, as none of them had d
chance to see his face, and as he rode
away they could not tell whether he
was man or boy.
One of the hat snatcher's' victims
was Mrs. J. Marden Wilson. 1885 La

some on Mexican Coast.

Perhaps the richest pearl fisheries
in America lie along the west coast of
the Gulf of California from La Paz to
the Island of Loreto and around III
buron across the gulf on the Mexican
coast. Pearls are also found in some
abundance on both the eastern and
western coasts of Mexico, Nicaragua
and Puerto Rico. The Pearl Islands
off the coast of Panama have been IA
nous for their pearls for centuries.

PEARL SHORTAGE IS
NEW WORLD TROUBLE

| CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 26.-Since
large pearls are no longer found in
| he semi-exhausted fisheries of the
orient and the world is confronted
with a shortage of one of its most an
lcent and highly priced gems, dealers
in the American market are looking
hopefully to the development of the
pearl fishing industry in Lower Cali
fornia and on the Venezuelan coast.
The Venezuelan government has
begun a close supervision over its
pearl fisheries and a conservation of
their output. The pearl oyster beds
are located at Margarita Island Cuba
qua, El Tirano, Pearlamar, Maracap-
aana, Macanao and Golfo de les Per-
las. When Columbus discovered the
mainland of South America in 1898.
he found the Indians working these
beds. ~ ~
Spaniards Brought Fame.
In the hands of the Spaniards, the
pearl coast became famous for its
wealth in these gems of the sea.
When LfOllonois. Roc Braziliano and
Sir Henry Morgan were sweeping the
Spanish Main with the piratical jolly
rovers at their masthead, the pearl
fisheries were frequently plundered.
In the pearling season today, 400
vessels ard 1000 divers work along the
coast and among the islands. The
annual product of Margarita Island
alone is valued at 100000. An. i'm
mense pearl with an estimated value
off 800 600 was found at Bargarita
in 1879 and presented to King Philip
Of Spain. The Venezuelan pearls are
IF good orient and color and are noted |
