LOOT RECOVERED
Table Silver Stolen From Watch HOI Cottage Found in
Swamp Near Pleasant View Book 222 Years Old Pick

cites Suspicion Superior -Court Hears 107 Exceptions
From Rulings in February Trial of Rhodes Murder Case
Francis Clark Injured.
It is evident that at least one of
the burglaries committed! at Watch
Hill less than a month ago was not
the work of a finished burglar who is
in the business for gain and who does
not get cold feet after the commis-
6 ion, of crime and leave the booty hid-,
den in the woods, especially when the
stolen stuff is not over-bulky. The
silver and plated ware taken from the
cottage of Mrs. A. R. Adams, of New
York, at Watch Hill on the night of
August 28th, last, has been recovered
and is now in the Westerly police sta
tion In the custody of Chief of Police
Thomas E. Brown and awaiting identi
cation by the owner. The list of stol
en articles given the police the day
after the theft included eighty-three
pieces of plated and thirteen pieces of
sterling silver table ware. There are
seventy-three pieces at the police sta
tion answering the description of the
missing articles, including those mark
ed A, and the police believe that all
that was stolen has been recovered,
as the find includes some sterling sil
ver articles as described. Here is
the list of articles recovered:
Eleven tea spoons marked A, five
soup spoons, six table spoons, twenty
four forks, of five designs, eleven but
ter knives, four oyster forks, four fish
forks, two ladles, cheese knife. Ice
cream knife, olive fork, six coffee
spoons and two salad forks; also, a
combined cigar clipper and lighter.
The stolen articles were found in a
swampy section of woods at Sup-up
Heights, near Pleasant View, Sunday
after ion. by Arthur O'Neill, who was
taking- a stroll through the woods. He
noticed a, paper wrapped bundle on the
ground, among some underbrush. He
gave it a gentle kick, heard a Jingle and
felt of the contents. He was imme
diately satisfied that the bundle con
tained table ware, and he thought of
the recent " burglaries at Watch Hill.
Mr. O'Neill hurried to Westeifly and
reported the find to, Policeman Michael
Curtln, and returned to Sup-Up
Heights with the officer In an automo
bile. The bundle was brought to the
police station and delivered to Chief
Brown. - First the silver was wrap
ped in a towel with a red border and
the words Kitchen Cloth In red run
ning across the center. Over this was
a gingham apron of a bluish check,
that had the appearance of - having
been worn in connection with kitchen
work. A copy of The New York
Times of August 20, served as the out
side wrapper.

low who robbed from the Adams cot
tage was the Fame who made a more'
valuable haul from the Bettle cottage.
on the previous night. Chief Brown de
tailed policeman JurtaIn to make a
thorough search of the woods for more
booii, Monday, but none was found.
Chief Brown has requested several
men who visit the woods in that sec
tion to keep a weather eye out for
bundles of any description, and to note
any discovery of recent digging, or in
fact anything out-of the ordinary, that
might lead to the recovery of the
rest of the stolen property.

HOUSE TO HAVE WOMAN .
SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
Which Will Have Charge of All Suf
frage Bills.
Washington, Sept. 24 Creation of a
woman suffrage was ordered by the
house late today by a vote of 181 to
107. The ways and means committee
will name the personnel of the new
committee which will assume charge
of all suffrage bills? now handled by
tne strongly anti-suffrage judiciary
committee. Either Representative
Raker of California, or Representative
raylor of Colorado probably will be
made chairman. Miss Rankin of Mon-
tanna has been suggested, but as she
is a republican, she is not likely to be
named.
Creation of the committee, for which
tne eunragists long nave contended,
assures an early fight on the Susan B.
Anthony suffrage amendment at the
next session of congress. Both suf
fragists and anti-suffragists say they
are anxious that the bill be reported
as they - are confident of victory on
the floor.
The arrtls, headed by Chairman
Webb, of the judiciary committee,
made a hard fight today against the
resolution. They maintained that Its
adoption would b taken as an endorse
ment of White House picketing and
that It was unnecessary inasmuch as
the Judiciary committee planned to
report the amendment resolution early
In the next session.
Miss Rankin and -' Representative
Pou, chairman of the rules committee,
who reported the resolution, made the
principal speeches for It. Mr. Pou
declared that President Wilson had
written him urging the naming of the
committee and when Mr. Webb said
he did not think the president ever
made such a statement, Mr. Pou pro
duced the letter. It was read.
The senate suffrage committee,
which Is inactive, has been organized
for several years.
While the house was voting four
of the women's party so-called pickets
were arrested for displaying ban
ners before the White House.. They
were released on bond to appear tomorrow.
