Gems WOYth$Z5O,OOO
Stolen; Crook Sought

The door had been left unlocked with
the keys on the outside. Al maid
noticed the door ajar, but thought
nothing Of it. The theft was dis
covered three hours later when Mr..
Dcnahue returned from his brokerage
office.
Mr.. Donahue saif: it took them ten
years to accumulate the perfectly
matched roseate strings. The last
two were purchased in Paris this
summer.
The thief also took marquise dia-
mond ring but scorned four strings
of imitation pearls and some other
jewelry in the same drawer. Police
said the rObber must have been an
expert to distinguish the real pearls
from the imitation. The jewelry was
insured fer 100000.

Mrs. James r. Dcnahue, daughter and
co-heir Of tie s552, 100000 estate Of
the late +. w. Woolworth, of two
pearl necklaces and jewelry valued
at $750,000.
The theory is that because two big
pearls, which complete each of the
two 53 unit strings were received
from Paris only Tuesday, thief
trailed the gems across the Atlantic

Mrs. Eonahue had worn the uncom-
plcte necklace at Monte Carlo.

The fourth amendment would create

amendment would require every prop

all brush, weeds, trash or debris from
his property and if he. fails to do so
for any reason the city may do the
work and collect from the owner. The
sixth proposed amendment would di-

building within the various zones to

The seventh amendment would pro-

for his opinion as to their legality and
also to the Brownsville Chamber Of

the members of the board that special

The board also decided to call for

gineer j. W. Davis, to gravel the road
leading from the corner of Seventh and

to put in larger bridges where needed.

MOTOR ROOM OF
.UNDERSEA ship
FOUND FLOODED
Hope for Victims Aboard
Rammed Craft Aban-
doned; Cranes Are Or
dered Back to Port

(By Wireless to The Associated Press.)
ON BOARD U. s. S. CAM
DEN, Off Block Island, Oct. p
The toll Of the known dead Of
the submarine S-51 was raised
to four today when divers re-
covered the bodies of two of the
crew in the engine room COM
partment of the ship.
The bodies were recovered af-
ter divers had cut open the hatch
of the engine room. They had
determined definitely that this
compartment was flooded last
night when an exploring hole
the size Of a pencil was bored
in the hatch. Only a few air
bubbles were emitted.
Both Of the men were fully clad and
evidently had been on watch when the
submarine was rammed by the City Of
Rome last Friday night.
The bodies which were in fair condi-
tion, were taken aboard the Camden and
were held ready for shipment to the
Newport naval hospital where the bodies
of two of the crew previously found
had been sent.
The men were identified as Walter e.
Lawton, electricians mate, first class,
Sommerville, Mass, and B. d. Lindsay,
enginemanl second class, Pensacola,
Fla.
NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 2.-Divers ex-
ploring the sunken submarine S-51 to-
day found that the door of the motor
room was open and that the compart-
ment was flooded, according to a wire
less message from the rescue ship CAM
den, intercepted here.
/ Finding of motor room flooded cut
down sharply on the slim chances that
there are any of the crew still alive.
The engine room was found flooded last
night and two bodies recovered in it this
morning.
There is still one compartment re-
naming to be examined for any signs
of life. That is the torpedo room in
| the bow of the ship. The divers, acting
| under orders from Rear Admiral Chris
| ty, in charge of the rescue operations,
plan to cut small exploring hole in
l the hatch of the compartment to see
whether or not it also is flooded.
The divers also plan to explore ths
motor room compartment to determine
whether there are any bodies there.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 2.-Rear
Admiral H. H. Christy, in charge of the
rescue operations at the scene Of the
wreck of the submarine S-51 today
recommended the release of the two big
floating cranes which yesterday made
an unsuccessful effort to raise The yes-
| sci.
His recommendation was made after
announcement had been received Of the
recovery of two additional bodies found
by divers in the engine room and was
taken to mean that no further efforts
would be made at this time to raise the
submersible.
There is every evidence at the SUBJ
marine base to indicate that officers
have given up hope Of any life being
found on the craft. Relatives Of the
men who lost their lives have steadfast-
ly refused to leave New London until
they are certain that their sons, broth
ers sand hucbands could not be found.
Officers at the base have told all Of
them to return to their homes as the
chance for any of the men being found
| alive was one in million.

Motorists Given
Till After Jan. 4
To Get New Tags

District automobile identification
tags for 1925 will be recognized un-
til midnight January 4, it was an
nounced today by the District Com
missioners.
Unable to meet the last-minute
demand for the new 1926 tags, the
Commissioners decided to extend
the time limit, which was origi-
nally set to expire at midnight to-
night, to midnight January 4, in or
der to give motorists two additional
days to procure the tags.
The Commissioners had hoped
that all of the new tags would
have been issued when the District
Building closed this afternoon, but
continuous stream of delinquent
motorists that filed into the Dis
trict Building throughout the day
convinced them that it was physi-
cally impossible to distribute the
$4,000 remaining tags.
The time extension applies to
truck owners as we'll as to owners
of other types Of motor vehicles.
