Arrangements for decorating head- quarters in Chicago and for providing badges and a banner will be made by Secretary Steppacher. At his own re- quest a committee was appointed to advise him. A. Ruef recommended that badges of beautiful design should be provided. The offer of the Hawaliian band and glee club to accompany the delega- tion to Chicago and return, provided the Californians would provide trans- portation and meet incidental ex- penses was presented by Mr. Spreck- els. After some discussion, tn which it was estimated that the expense would approximate $4000, Oscar Law- | lor moved that the band be not en- gaged and the motion prevailed. A. Ruef suggested that a San Francisco band of twenty pieces be secured. The suggestion did not meet the approval of the delegation. It was final de- cided to engage the music in Chicago. The chair appointed Oscar Lawlor, Frank H. Short, Mitchell Phillips, Warren Porter, W. L. Crooks, M. A. Gunst, J. D. Spreckels and Ferd K. Rule as a committee on supplies.

Tt was stated | that although the loss has just been | discovered, the Countess believes the | robbery occurred during the progress | of her Russian Red Cross bazaar held in this city on April 28. The loss of the jewels is the last of | a series of misfortunes sustained by | the young Countess in her work of | charity. During the progress of the bazaar a valuable gold watch, which was being raffled, was stolen and the Countess replaced the article at her own expense, to protect the interests of ‘lhvls'x‘ who had taken chances. Captain Boardman of the detective | force has detailed two of his best men on the case, but the lapse of time since 'the robbery occurred increases the dif- | ficulties of locating the thief and re- covering the jewels. At the embassy there seems to be the greatest mystery about the affair | and all are at a loss to account for the | manner of the robbery.

He says that “to please the old lady” he transferred the property to his brother-in-law, John Thornton. It cost him $60,000 and the man who once ran a baker wagon on commission speaks of this sum as a “mere trifle.” “You know I set my brother-in-law up in the grocery business a yéar ago— bought a shop for $4000 and it went to smash.
