PEARL NECKLACE
STRANGELY LOST
Jennie Crocker Mourns Gems
Worth $50,000, Which
Disappear at Ball.
AMONG FINEST IN WEST
rrobably Broken During Midnight
Supper at Mnrtll Graa Dance
Wlien Fun AVas High Detec
tives Spurred by Reward.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24. What ap
pears to have been an exceedingly bold
and clever robbery was brought to the
attention of the police today .when Miss
Jennie Crocker reported the loss of her
pearl necklace, valued at $50,000. which
disappeared from her throat during the
progress of a Manll Gras ball, one of the
social events of the season, at the St.
Francis Hotel last night.
Miss Crocker did not discover her loss
until after 4 o'clock this marninsr. It Is
the supposition that the cord sustaining
the Jewels broke, allowing them to fall to
the floor. The sweepings of all the -roomR
occupied by the ball guests last night
were collected and examined at once,
but no trace of the pearls was found.
Wore Aeeklace Under Dresa.
Miss Crocker, who is a daughter of the
late Colonel Frederick Crocker, and In
herited a fortune at her fathers' death
which ranks her with ttje wealthiest wo
men of the country, was one of the 402
guests invited to the ball, whjph was
given by Mrs. Charles O. Alexander. The
attendance Included virtually every resi
dent of Uils city and Its suburbs who has
achieved social prominence.
As Miss Crocker lives In Burllngame.
a fashionable little town 15 miles south
of this city, she took rooms at the St.
Francis Hotel for the night. Before the
ball she was the guest of Henry T. Scott
at dinner In the hotel, and wore her
necklace with an evening gown. Later
she donned her ball costume, a simple
gingham dress, representing the char
acter of a little schoolgirl. She did not
have time to place her Jewels In safe
keeping and wore them under the high
collar of her costume, covered, but not
concealed.
May Have I-ost It at Supper.
Miss Crocker, with R. I... Coteman.
Waiter Hobart and Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Martin, all of the social elect, sat down
at midnight to a light supper, and the
Jewels were still about her neck at that
time. There was a good deal of laughter
and fun-making during the meal, and It
was at first believed that the necklace
might have been broken and fallen to
the floor then.
When Miss Crocker became aware of
the absence of her necklace, after 4
o'clock In the morning, she Informed her
brother, C. T. Crocker, and Police Detec
tive Proll was notified. A search of the
room failed to locate the pearls, but ac
tion was postponed until the sweepings
could be examined.
Miss Crockers' maid, who spent the
night at the hotel, returned to Burlingame
early In the morning, and It was believed
possible that she had taken the Jewels
with her. but no report to that effect has
been received since the Crockers went
home this afternoon. A large reward for
the return of the necklace has been ad
vertised In the name of the Crocker es
tate. Miss Crocker's necklace Is among the
finest pieces of Jewelry In the West. It
Is composed of S3 flawless specimens,
which were brought from Europe by their
owner and set In this city.
The Pinkertoij agency has had four of
Its best men at work on the case all day,
but they refuse to discuss any clews
that they may have obtained. The police
detectives are awaiting further directions
from Miss Crocker before beginning an
active investigation.

REPORTS ON J1ZEF
ARE CONFLICTING
Russian Government Says He
Was Valuable Aid Dulat
Says He Was Terrorist.
PRODUCES SPY'S LETTERS
In Tlieni Atet Declares He Had Or
ganization of Assassinations of
Sergius, Von Plehve and
Many Others.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 24. The an
swer of the government to an Interpella
tion of the constitutional Democrats on
the recent revelations in connection with
Azef. who had been known as the head
of the fighting Russian Socialists, and
later was declared to be In reality a gov
ernment spy, was delivered by Premier
Stolypln in the Douma today.
Premier Stolypln stated that Azef had
been in the police service since 1892, and
that he established relations with the
main Terrorist group in 1902. For sev
eral years he had held a subordinate po
sition in the party and was able to ren
der only minor service to the govern
ment, but In 1896 he became a member
of the Socialist central committee, and
since then he has kept the government
so well. Informed that no crime of im
portance had been committed by the main
Terrorist organization. Azef was absent
from Russia when Grand Duke Sergius
was assassinated, and therefore was not
responsible for the failure to prevent this
crime.
A sensation was created by the speech
of M. Dulat, a laborite who has Just re
turned from Paris -with documents. In
cluding the originals of two letters deal
ing with Azef's trial there by the revo
lutionary tribunal. Azef. In these letters,
says he bad organized all the Terrorlstio
actions. Including the assassinations of
Obolensky,- Sergius and Von Plehve.
The Socialist. PokrofTsky, presented tel
egrams tending to substantiate the report
of the Moscow police that they had
knowledge beforehand of the plot against
Grand Duke Sergius, but did not attempt
to prevent it being carried out until the
last stage. Pokroffsky concluded by
warning Premier Stolypln that he may
now expect a similar fate to those who
had met death at the hands of the Revolutionists.
BY JOSEPH M. QTTEXTIN.
THE favorite English cantata, "King
Rene's Daughter," written' for wo
men's voices by Henry Smart, was sung
by the Treble Clef Club under the direc
tion of Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, last
night, in the lecture hall of the Young
Women's Christian Association, before a
large audience. The accompanist was
Edgar E. Coursen. who played with sym
pathy and good judgment.
I have several times heard the cantata
referred to sung, especially at commence
ment time at girls' schools, but never
heard so spirited and hearty a rendition
as last night. It is a plaintive story of
Iolanthe. the blind daughter of King
Rene, Count of Provence, a girl who has '
been reared without the knowledge that
she does not possess sight. Then her
lover comes, and through him the com
mand is given, "Let there be light."
Miss Kathleen Lawlcr was to have sung
the soprano solo, but suffered from a se
vere cold, and her place as soloist was
taken at very short notice by Mrs. San
derson Reed, who displayed her lyric so
prano to good advantage. Her voice has
a telling quality and I Bhould like to hear
her In coloratura work. Mrs. Helen
Lytle-Ellis was the Iolanthe; Miss Cath
arine Covach, the Marta; and Miss Alice
Justin the Beatrice. The other members
of the Treble Clef Club, whose names
thus appeared on the programme; Miss
Kathleen Lawler. Mrs. Jordan PurvJne,
Miss Delta Watson, Miss Hilda Hegele,
Miss Beulah Cadwell. Mrs. J. E. Howard,
Mrs. Helen Brigham-Gregg, Mrs. J. S.
Monte, Mtes Petronella Connolly, Mrs.
Chloe McClung-Daneke, Mrs. . Ernast
Laldlaw, Miss Vlda Reed, Miss Clara
Howell, Mrs. C. W. Sherman and Miss
Sarah Glance were the provencal vint
agers. Solos, duets, trios, quartet and
choruses were all well sung.
The second part of the programme
consisted of a rendition of miscel
laneous music
Solos were sung by Mrs. Ellis and
Miss Clara Howell, who were quite
successful with their selections, and
show marked promise along yet more
ambitious lines. In two selections the
Treble Clef Club had the assistance of
the Tuesday Afternoon Club, consisting
of Miss Olga Johnson, Miss Christina
Denholm. Miss Mabel Selover, Miss
Clea Nlckerson. Miss Marian Plummer,
Miss Milla Wesslnger. Miss Freda
Hockenyos, Miss Carrol McCollom, Miss
Maysie Foster. Miss' Lillian O'Shaugh
nessi. Miss Eleanor Brodle, Miss Ellen
Driver. Miss Emma Klenow, Mrs. R. W.
Schmeer and Miss Vera Patterson, ac
cording to programme.
The musleale was a good example
of what is being done along ertistlo
lines with women's voices in song. -

oner was required to investigate the

East Washington street, died on the
sidewalk at East Alder and Water
streets at an early hour yesterday

trouble.
William Adams, an employe of the
Crane Bottle Company, dropped" dead
while dressing yesterday morning.
Adams and H. D. Anderson, another
employe of the same company, lived
in a shack at the head of Wayne street.

when he keeled over on the floor.
Heart disease was the cause. He was
60 years of age.
The third victim of a sudden attack

lieve that they will be traced to Miller.

CHARTER BOARD MEETS
Provision for Lending City Money to
Banks Is Discussed.
That the new city charter should make
some provision whereby the City Treas
urer can take indemnity bonds from
banks as collateral security, was the
opinion of the Council's new charter board
of seven, expressed at its meeting In the
City Hall last night. City Treasurer Wer
leli spoke of the necessity of Buch a pro
vision, and he was requested by the other
members of the board -to put his ideas
in writing.
It was explained that when the taxes
are paid the City Treasurer sometimes
has as much an $1,600,000 on hand, which
Is out of circulation, since banks having
previously taken their full amount of
money and given railroad bonds or other
security, cannot take more.
The board discussed the question
whether or not the city should be divided
Into a larger number of wards. Mr.
WUUs thought there should be mare
J wrds, with eight Councilmen at large,
and about z councilmen ku uhu.
The board discussed the question of an
electrical Inspector for the city, and left
the question without taking action upon
It. It was conceded that something
should be done to prevent hi?h-voltage
wires being strung over those of low
voltage, thus endangering buildings to
which the low-voltage wires run from
the falling of the heavily charged wires.
The question of the city's advertising
and the best way to reach those in
terested, also came up for discussion, and
section 60 of the new charter was re
ferred to the Judiciary committee for
amendment.

Problems
for
Pupils and
Parents
Qchbol days are full of
problems for pupils and
parents problems that
have to do with the proper
nutrition of growing
children.
TVothing so good for them as H-O, the
oatmeal that is cooked in steam for
three hours, then rolled and toasted--as
different from ordinary "rolled oats " as
raw corn meal is different from bread
pudding. It costs a little more than the
common M rolled oats" of commerce, but
you'll willingly pay the price. when you
see how the youngsters thrive on it.- Ask
your grocer for H-O.
