GET MILLION DOLLARS IN jewels s
Officials Have Virtually No Clue
Which May Lead to Mys-
terious. Robbers

Palm Beach, Fla, March l4.-lP-
Police groped in virtual darkness Sat-
urday as they sought a guiding gleam
to lead them to approximately one
million dollars worth OF diamonds
and pearls that disappeared In the
largest jewel robbery within the
memory OF this wealthy resort.
The gems were taken from the To-
cal branch of Charlton and Company,
New York jewelers.. Neither Otto
Wegener, local manager; D. H. Odom
night watchman; nor j. Schuler, en-
ploye OF the firm, gave the author
tiles any tangible clues.
The burglary apparently occurred
at the one hour of the day In which
no watchman was on duty.
Wegener told the investigators he
was kidnapped by four men Thursday
night who forced him to deliver the
keys and combination under threat
of his life.
Odom, who. left tho store at Z
o'clock Friday morning, one hour be-
fore the day watchman came on duty
told the sheriff the place had been
unmolested up to the time he went
home.
The missing jewelry included:
Pearls $250,000.
Diamond brooches $15O,000.
Diamond bracelets 100000.
Diamond rings $4,000.
Two pearl necklaces valued at $75,-

FREEMANIS NAMED
TO AID MAUREK IN
GAME DEP ARYN|ENT
Speaker of House at Recent
Session Quits One State
Job to Take Another
RESIGNS AS LEGISLATOR
Reorganization Of Office Held
Up to Permit Grand Forks
Man to Take Post
RESIGNS AS LEGISLATOR

e. Vernon Freeman, Grand Forks,
speaker Of the house at the legislative
session which ended March s, satur-
day resigned as . member Of the leg
islature and was Immediately ap-
pointed deputy state game and fish
commissioner.
The resignation was rendered to
Governor George F.. Shafer. The ap-
pointment was made by Burnie Maui
rex, state game and fish commission
er, who Thursday was reappointed to
that office for a two-year term.
The appointment Of Maurek and
his subsequent appointment Of Free
man marked the elimination Of an
arrangement which had been under
discussion for some time. Although
Maurek's first term ended In Febru-
ary, he was not immediately reap
pointed and the reorganization Of
the department for the next biennium
was held up pending this action by
the governor.
The reason for the delay was seen
Saturday in the fact that Freeman
could not be appointed as deputy UNI
til his work as q member Of the legis-
lature had been completed.
In the event that q special :egisla-
tive session is held, the sixth district,
which is part Of Grand Forks coun-
| ty, would be without representation
unless q special election were held
since the governor cannot appoint
members. of the legislature to fill un-
expired terms. H II,
Freeman, who has spent most OF
his time here since the close of the
session, began his new work at once
He has made plans for taking up his
residence here.
He takes the place made vacant by
the resignation of Lewis Knudson OF
Kenmare, the first deputy under the
one-man game and fish commission
law. Although various reasons have
been given for KnudSon's resignation
last February, 1t was commonly re-
ported that he and Maurek had failed
to agree, both on matters OF policy
and on details of administration.
Freeman's resignation as legisla-
tor was made necessary by the Law
which prohibits one man from hold.
ing, at the same time, two state OF.
fices for which compensation is re-
ceived. His job as legislator paid S.
a day for 60 days, which he already
has received. The new job pays
s., 900 a year and travelling expenses
Maurek said the term for which
Freeman was appointed would be two
years, although the statute does not
provide q definite term. Under the
law. the deputy may be removed at
the pleasure of the commissioner.
