Police Search for
Loftis's Jewelry,
Worth Thousands
Mi*?? Wood Admits She Took
Several Pieces, but Says
He Gave Them to Her;
Hunt Another Man in Case
,?rp#-(-<r>[ ?>t.*p<ic.-??i to The Tribune
CHICAGO. Aug. 1. The police are
searching to night for thousands of
dollars' worth of jewelry which Samuel
T. A. Loftis. millionaire diamond mcr
chant and man about town, is said to
have kept in his luxurious apartments.
Sine?- Loftis's death Friday night the
jewelry has disappeared.
M:s5 Ruth Wood, the young hotel
bookkeeper who was with Loftis at
the time of his death, is being held
"merely as a material witness and ap?
parently was in no way responsible for
the ?loath of Loftis," Chief of Police
Garrity declared to-night, as the re?
sult of his questioning of Miss ?!"ood
and a score of others.
The girl admitted to-day that when
she fled from the apartment after sum?
moning Roy M. Shayne, h?r fiance.
J?.? toos with her a watch, other
?articles of jewelry and a roll ci bills
which belonged to Loftis. She gave
the watch and jewels to her mother.
She insists these were the only jewels
took away from the apartment.
She had denied at first taking the
? ? ? y ano jewels. When questioned
further she said that Loftis forced her
t-i accep, the jewelry, but that 'she re
t in '"ft the money to him and he placed
i: in a dresser. She admitted that just
before fleeing she took the money from
the dresser.
Police Hnnt for "Babe"
While the girl is being held further;
Inquiry into the possible loss of other
jewelry is being made, and the police
s-e searching for another man known
a-= ' Babe," who is thought to have
been with her after the chauffeur, Her?
ir?: Waxier, took her from the Loftis
apartment in a taxicab, following the
traer-fty The chauffeur has admitted
that he introduced Vier, to another man.
In a revised story the girl said she
had gor.e with the chauffeur to a num
h of West Side cabarets and that
$ r-.ad been taken from her.
The chauffeur said nothing of jew- .
eiry, but declared that Miss Wood had
"a big bunch of money on her and
sskei'l himto take her where she could
get a drink."
Miss Wood will be questioned again
to-morrow. She has told several
stories, but they have been conflicting.
Shayne Set at Liberty
Shayne has been set at liberty. It
is thought that his storv has been
merely an imaginative one, told to pro?
tect his sweetheart. The police do not
think Lofttfl was alive when Shnyne
arrived at the apartment in response
vo a telephone call from the girl.
Sergeant John .Norton, i't me homi?
cide ?quad, and Chief Garrily have
decided to pasn the case on to a cor?
oner's Jury. They have told Miss Wood!
that she must remain in custody until
such a jury has passed on her pos?
sible guilt in the case.
While both say they believe Mi?-?
Wood's story cencernimj the "friendly
scuffle" with Loftis preceding his
c>ath and the other details of the
afternoon>ipnrty in his flat, they are
still at a loss to know just what trans?
pired after she left the Loftis apart?
ment. The police also think that the
chauffeur has withheld some informa?
tion.

and $1.50 for a room for two persons
fynving: their own suits. Suits were 50
cents each.
Sir Thomas Lipton was one of th?>
j spectators at the Parkway Baths, the
i manag-er giving him the freedom of the
place as soon as an alert patrolman,
Thomas Craddock, had recojrniied the
British yachtsman and introduced him.
Among the few mishaps reported to
the police were two narrow escapes
from drowning and a collision be?
tween a sightseeing bus and a street
ear. The latter took place at Sixty
eighth Street and Fifth Avenue. Sev?
eral persons were thrown from their
seats in the bus and slightly injured.
Those who required medical attention
were Louis Gruber, twelve years old,
of 77 Essex Street; Thomas Muihearn,
six, of 501 Eighth Avenue, Brooklyn;
Alexander McClellan, seventy-one, of
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., and Mrs. Susan
Ttilly, of '20?, East Sixty-first Street.
j None of the passengers in the car was
hurt
Benjamin Fliegelman, of 322 Enst
| Houston Street, was seized with a
j cramp while swimming off Henderson's
! Walk, and was brought ashore by a
! life guard. Another life guard rescued
' Mario Marino, of Sea Breeze Avenue
| and West Third Street, Brooklyn, who
sank at the Parkway Baths.

GOOD THINGS
The Indian word "tiffin" implies food and
service that is superior, but the great in
< stitution "TIFFIN" has given an addi?
tional meaning?to' charge moderately.
There are Tiffin Shops alt over the city and suburbs
?step in at one of them. Candy agencies everywhere.
Speaking of
THE average person feels he is de?
prived of one of the luxuries of
life unless he is allowed to launch
a complaint every so often. Complaints
are as necessary to the common or gar?
den human's mental complacency as
food is to his stomach. Some of us com?
plain in the home; some in the office;
some in restaurants; some on the sub?
way. But we all complain of the govern?
ment. Somewhere between the cradle
and the grave all of us take a shot at
the bodies of men chosen to preside over
the country's destiny.
We are not alone?
To our credit let it be stated that Ameri?
cans are not alone in this bred-in-the-bon?
shortcoming. If there is any government in
the universe which is not complained of, let
it come forward now?or forever after hold
its peace!
In this age-old fact lies the origin of the
revolutionary radical and the bolshevist.
There are always measles in a community?
a few cases here and there without which the
family physician couldn't afford his Saturday
night corned beef and cabbage. And then
along comes an epidemic of measles, and
everyone's up in the air as if they'd never seen
a measle before !
'Twas euer thus?
There are always complaints. Then along
comes an epidemic of complaints and straight?
way everyone's up in the air and says the
world's going to the demnition bowwows?
which it isn't!
The government's all right?as govern?
ments go. The people are all right?as people
go. The trouble is they find it pleasanter to
disagree. And, alas, we fear 'twill be ever
thus as long as there are governments and
people.
The Rotary Club asks?
The Rotary Club of New York, a large body of
level-headed business men, all striving for the progress
of the United States and the perpetuation of its posi?
tion in the van of the leading nations of the world, asks
the good public always to count one hundred before
it launches a loud complaint and to prevail upon its
friends to do likewise.
In this way complaint epidemics will be avoided
and people will begin to believe what is really
the truth?that the world in-general and the United
States in particular is in about the best condition ever
and able to absorb all the healthy nourishment ihey
are ready to feed it.
