$150,000 Worth of
Jewels Stolen Friday
Night Robbery Pre

Rumsey Residence
Narragansptt I'ier. R. I , July 30.
.Iew.-lr. worth at least $150, (MM was
-tolen from Shore Acres, the summer
residence of Mr and Mrs. J 11 Han
an. Friday night. The $75,000 rob
bery in the home of C G. Rumsey,
son-in-law of tbe late K. H. Harn
man. occurred on Saturday night
Reports that the Hanans had been
icbbcci wi-re denied until toda. when
Mrs Hanan told the stody ot their
loss. Mr, Hanan is seriously ill and
has been kept in ignorance of the
robbery An unwillingness to disturb
him influenced his wife to withhold
tbe facts until this time.
Phe articles taken included a dia-:
Diond necklace, a pearl necklace, two
diamond rncrustod watches, a set of :
i ar Baphires surrounded by diamonds,1
.i brOOCh and a pair of rare black dia-
ii ond earrings surrounded by white
, diamonds.
A peculiar feature of the robbery
I was that some particularly valuable
gems wen- left In the bureau drawer
from which the- others were removed
! They could hardly have been over
looked and tins BUggestS that the job
I was a hurried one.
Mrs Hanan seldom weals the jew

brought over from New York at a
i time when she had expected to give
I her annual reception to Oovernor and
Mrs Pothler. The Illness of Ml Han-
! an made it necessary to cancel the
I function.
The jewelry was taken from Mrs
Hanans bureau drawer a few mo
ments after she had left the house to
attend a reception The loss was dls
covered Within thirty minutes but al
though three detect i agencies have
been working on 1 1 1 caB6 since Mon
day morning, no tangible clue has
I been found
Mrs. Hanan said thai the servants,
of whom there are about 25. had been
eliminated in the Investigation. With
the exception of two butlers, who
were engaged this year, all of those
employed mi Shore Acres have been
with the family for years The theory
of motorboat thieves also has been
dismissed as the shore of Block Isl
and sound over which the house looks
I Is very rough and a small boat would
have great difficulty in landing any

"I left the bouse on Frldaj tor a

of jewelry for my maid to put awa.

house the maid went to a spring not

it is believed here that the same
gang of expert thieves who operated
BUCCessfullS h?re ,wo years ago are
again at work. The secrec) main
tained for a time regarding the two
known losses has led also to reports
of several other robberies, though the
reports are vague and unconfirmed.
Some time ago Mrs. Waller Ives of
New York lost a pearl necklace said
to be worth $2000 while visiting at Hie
summer home here of Douglas Pearce,
Jr., of Providence Tlio loss was not
discovered immediately.

As had been predicted, the mi no
owners explained that under no cir
cumstances would they take any ac

their own employes, either Individu
ally or through committees, provided
the men came to them as employe:!
and that under such circumstances
they could not see the necessitv pi
asking the men to send representa
