NARRAGANSETT PIER. R. I.. July
23. Mrs. C. C. Rumsey, a daughter of
the late E. H. Harriman. lost- a $80,000
rope of pearls and other gems valued
at $15,000 In a robbery of her husband's
home Sunday. The pearls were a gift
from Mrs. Rumsey's mother and had a
Fentimental value far in excess of their
Intrinsic worth. The robbery took
place some time between 8 o'clock Sat
urday night and the same hour Sun
day, when the theft was discovered.
The robbers ransacked Mrs. Rumsey's
room, but entered no other room in the
house.
The other jewels stolen are a ruby
and pearl pendant; gold pin, set with
magnificent ruby solitaire; diamond
brooch; gold mesh bag.
The robbery was reported to Chief of
Police Caswell last Sunday, but on the
solicitation of Mr. Rumsey it was kept
quiet, and no one went to the house
to investigate until last night. Mr.
Rumsey refused to have a police officer
visit his house Sunday night, but yes
terday consented, and B. Ahrens. a con
stable, remained on watch all night.
Private Detectives Called.
When asked about the matter today
the police, disclaimed knowledge of it.
Later It was announced that they, as
well as private detectives, were at
work on the case.
It Is the belief of Mr Rumsey and
Chief Caswell that the robbers entered
by the front door and stole the gems
last Saturday night, while Mr. and Mrs.
Rumsey were at the Casino. They left
about 8 o'clock and returned at 11,
finding all the servants asleep.
A peculiar circumstance Is that no
one In the household could remember
having heard any suspicious sounds
during the period the robbery must
have been committed. In the room adjoining-
that of Mrs. Rumsey, from
which the jewels were taken, slept the
nurse and child. They were not dis
turbed and heard no noise.
The Rumseys occupy a cottage on
Ocean avenue. Both nave been here
much of the Summer.
JCTvela Kept in Sleepinc-Room.
The Jewels were In Mrs. Rumsey's
sleeping-room late Saturday when she
dressed for dinner. They were not to
be found at the same hour the next
day. It has long been believed here
that a gang of expert robbers were
working systematically in this place,
Newport and New York.
"Gunning Rock," the cottage where
the robbery occurred, showed no signs
of breaking and entering. No other
property was stolen. That the thief
apparently went straight to the room
where the Jewels were kept Indicated
that the robbery was committed by
someone who was familiar with the
premises. It was said, however, that
none of the servants was suspected.
The rope of pearls contained 130
graduated gems. Part of these had
been bought from a New York jeweler
before Mrs. Rumsey's wadding for $35,
000. The gems were taken from the
jewel caso of Mrs. Harriman, who had
them put together and gave them to
her daughter as a wedding present.
The largest of the pearls weighed 12
grains.
national Power & Manufacturing Com
pany. The grant may run perpetually,
and can be revoked only for violations
of Its terms or the provisions of the
general regulations.
The lower the rate charged to the
consuming public, the lower the rate
collected by the Government, and to
protect the public further a maximum
charge -of 6 cents per kilowatt was
fixed.
Allowing the United States to com
pete with Sweden, Norway and other
countries In the manufacture of ni
trates for fertilizing purposes, the com
pany will have to pay only about 20
per cent of the regular rate for the
power It uses In such manufacture.
It was announced that the Interior
and Agricultural Departments, in agree
ment on the power permit question as
the result of a recent conference be
tween Secretaries Lane and Houston,
had three objects In view in adopting
the new form of permits. The first and
most important was to control the price
of water power to the consumer by
charging the development company less
In proportion, as it charged the public
less, and by fixing a maximum charge.
The second was to secure full devel
opment of the power available through
low rates on water used for certain
purposes and by decreasing rates with
the amount of power developed. The
third was fair compensation, and thia.
the officials say, they have secured.
The company must begin work with
in one' year, and within three years
must -have at least 50,000 horsepower
developed. Part of the intended con-,
struction is in the Kaniksu National
forest, in Northeastern Washington.

TIME CLOCK MAY AID LAW
"Washington State Attorney Offers
Plan to Check Working- Honrs.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 29. (Special.)
Time clock records can foe introduced
as evidence of violation of the eight
hour law if means can be devised to
nave them introduced by some other
person than the employer, the Attorney-General's
office holds In a ruling
furnished Labor Commissioner E. W.
Olson Monday. The Attorney-General
decides that the defendant cannot be
forced to introduce evidence that would
incriminate himself.
The question was brought up on ac
count of several cases In Seattle in
which hope of prosecution apparently
hangs on the possibility of getting the
time-clock records into the evidence.
Husband Entertains His Wife Ten
Days in Lavish Style and Then
Takes 2-Vear-OId Daughter.
MEDFORD, Or.. July 29. (Special.)
Entertaining his wife for 10 days with
dinners and luncheons and showering
her with attentions and presents was
enough to put Mrs. John Wagner off
her guard sufficiently for her husband.
John Wagner, employed at a cigar
store here, to secure their 2-years-old
daughter from Mrs. Anna Clark, the
wife's mother, yesterday, and he is now
supposed to be speeding to San Fran
cisco en route to his home in Michigan.
Mrs. Wagner, formerly Miss Dalia
Clark, a local high school girl, eloped
with Wagner at the age of 15, three
years ago. The affair created quite a
sensation here, the mother insisting
upon a marriage, which occurred three
days after the pair left. Since then
neglect, cruelty and abuse, according
to Mrs. Wagner, forced her to leave her
husband with her baby, and she re
turned to Medfprd several months ago.
where she has been a waitress at the
Nash grill. '
Although she repulsed her husband
when he first arrived in Medford about
10 days ago, his continued kindness
and consideration bred the hope in her
heart that he had changed, so. when he
asked to take her and the little girl out
to luncheon with him the request was
granted. He left the Clark house about
10 o'clock with the baby, but when Mrs.
Wagner arrived at the hotel to keep
her appointment neither husband nor
child appeared.
A man and baby answering the de
scription of the pair left on the 10:30
train for San Francisco. The police
were informed and the authorities at
Redding, Cal., instructed to search the
train, but without success.
Mrs. Wagner now intends to file di
vorce proceedings at once, in the hope
that she will be able to regain her child
through the courts.

Minority Leader Underwood Calls
lobbyist Blackmailer and Clark
Says' He Never Saw Letters
or Talked About Them.
WASHINGTON, July 29. Martin .M.
Mulhall practically finished today his
identification of letters he wrote and
received In the 10 years he says he was
the lobbyist for the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers.
The Senate investigating committee
will turn its attention tomorrow to the
examination of Mulhall. and attorneys
for the association and for the Amer
ican Federation, also involvod In the
correspondence, will begin their cross
examination of the witness.
Members of the committee will at
tempt to strengthen Mulhall's story of
his political activities In Washington
and throughout the country, while the
attorneys wll do their best to break
it down. Questions by the lawyers
that receive the committee's sanction
will be filtered to the witness through
Its chairman.
Many Questions Will Be Asked.
Robert McCarter, counsel for the
association, has about 250 questions he
wishes to ask the witness. Attorney
Jackson H. Ralston, for the Federa
tion of Labor, has prepared about 100
more, and no one kne How many sep
arate queries members of the commit
tee will submit to Mulhall.
Mulhall was called a liar and a black
mailer by Majority Leader Underwood,
of the House of Representatives, after
he had sworn that he had tried to get
Chairman Wilson of the labor com
mittee interested In the story he -now
is telling, and that Speaker Clark and
Minority Leader Mann, of the House,
had turned down an opportunity to
conduct an investigation of his activi
ties. The Speaker and Mr. Mann, he said,
had been approached on this subject by
Representative McDermott, of Illinois.
Clark nnd Underwood Deny.
"Neither Mr. McDermott nor anybody
else ever showed me the Mulhall let
ters and papers," said Speaker Clark
In a statement issued late today.
"Neither Mr. McDermott nor anybody
else ever spoke to me about them."
"That whole statement is a lie out
of whole cloth not a word of truth In
lt,"declared Underwood. "There never
was a question about Wilson's selec
tion as head of that committee, solely
because of his capacity and qualifica
tions." Mulhall brought the day to a climax
by swearing that McDermott had ac
knowledged to him that he had signed
Mulhall's name to a check for $250.
Mulhall said today that he left the
National Association of Manufacturers
late In 1911, but letters of 1912 and
1913 showed him still about Wash
ington, interested in the makeup of
committees and in legislation. He ap
parently was lobbying on his own hook
and other letters showed an evident
desire to get back to his old employ
ers, although he did not admit that
be wished to secure his old berth.

that the terms of the grant might .be

the old pains had left my back and I
could sleep the whole night througn.
