¥ ~ “OF $50,000 GEMS AFTER BG FRE ‘May Have Been Stolen and Thieves Burned Livermore Home. 6. 0. Lockwood, a business associate of John R. Livermore, said to-day that Mrs, Livermore's $50,000 worth of gems could not be found in the ashes of the villa near Bedford Village, Westchester County, and that thieves may have set fire to the house in order to cover \ up thelr theft. He also declared the two Livermore ehildren narrowly escaped from the flames, being rescued by a faithful nurse. Detectives are endeavoring to D horas the mystery surrounding the fire and the loss of the jewels. No traco of the despatch box in which Mrs. Livermore kept her valuables has been found in the ruins. “There are certain mysterious fea- Rures about the fire which have not deen cleared up,” sald Mr, Lockwood at his office, No. 48 Wall street. “We cannot tell, even after a thorough in- vestigation, whether the fire was in- WM cendiary or not. The jewels have not deen found, however. Nor has the de- epatch box which held them. There ‘were many valuable keepsakes and | gems Mrs. Livermore prized highly. j _“On Friday night last Mr. and Mrs. Livermore were in the city. Their two children were left at the villa in charge of Louise, their nurse. There were a number of women servants and the butler, Graham there. Graham Says he retired shortly after 10 o'clock ,| efter putting up the shutters and lea j ing the lower floor in perfect order. \ There’ was nothing from which a fire could start. Every person in the house was in bed before 11 o'clock “It wus about that hcur that one of 4 the maids smelled emoke, opened her door and found the hal filled. Her erles aroused the touse. There was Ro time to sive anything. I doubt if any of the servants, excepting the nurse, 3 Loutee, knew about the despatch box ent the jewelry, The nurse wos too ‘occupies In saving the two children to think of anything else, “The fire spread with remarkable rapidity, ond it was exceedingly for- | tunate that ft was disoovered in time } to avert the loss of lives. The ruins f have been searches, but no trace of the 4} despaten box has been found.” ARG ESCAPES FROM TENCED Rero | Five yearns. debts Taa | LN URED HILL REPORMATORY Bi EMBEZZLE MENT. FARR Rom Rimi.

PASSENGER WINS FIGHT AGAINST TRUER RL Snatched Two from Con- ductor, Is Arrested and Promptly Set Free. The first victory for the people in the fight ogainst the new rule of the Metropolitan Street Railway which compels a passenger to ask for a trans- fer at the time of paying fare was scored in the Harlem Police Court to- day when Magistrate Baker peremp- torily dismissed a complaint against George Anner, of No, 111 East One Hundred and ‘Dwenty-seventh street. Anner was charged by Henry Hannon, @ conductor of an Eighth avenue car, with having grabbed ¢wo transfers from hig pad after they had been re fused him {n accordance with the new rule, After the case was dismissed Anner instructed his attorney to begin sult against the company for false ar- rest and for heavy demages for retus- ing to elve its passengers transfers. The case will be carried if necessary to the highest courts. Anner 1s bookkeeper for Louls Kahn, a horseman, and is a nephew of Thomas Lloyd, a prominent sportsman. With his friend Charles Winter, manager of the Pabst restaurant {n One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, he boarded a north-bound Eighth avenue car last night at One Hundred and Fourteenth street. Winter pald the fares. Without giving the two opportunity to ask for transfers the conductor turned and went to the rear of the car. As soon as he could catch his eye Anner asked for a transfer. The conductor refused it. The two men walked back and re- newed their demands. “Against the rules,” said the conduc- tor. “You should have asked for them when you paid the fare.” Anner be- came excited, and as he talked tapped the conductors pocket holding the transfer pad. Anner declares that he did not touch the pad, but that the conductor told him if he did not keep still he would have him arrested. An- ner told him to go ahead, and at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street the conductor called a” policer.an, and Anner was taken to the West One Hun- dred and Twenty-fifth street station. He was at once bailed out. The con. ductor entered a charge of grand tat- ceny, alleging that Anner had taken two transfers and then thrown the pad In the Harlem Court t 3 tempt was made to have, aay aniantt Bae nally tioed Ey" ects ok Sean ee eae oe he le cl ‘ce is most fod Magistrate Boker. “The Motsbpotltas Street Railway should give a transfer to @ passenger whenever he asks for ft. jong as a man has paid his fare he is entitled to a transfer and should get ft.
