Dybhavn to ‘Act as Police Commissioner Till Return of Mayor. Outside the routine business of voting approval on requisitions for supplies for the municipal departments, the city council had very little to deal with last night, and the whole meeting was through in ten or fifteen minutes. As Alderman Naden is leaving town again, and expects that Mayor Pattullo will return before he does, Alderman Dybhavn con- tinued to sit as acting mayor last evening. He will also be police commissioner until the return of Mayor Pattullo. A meeting of the police commissioners is to be held on Thursday.

SINGING SUFFRAGETTES They Cause Disturbance During Service in St. Paul’s. (Special to The Daily News.) London, Aug. 5.—A party of forty well dressed suffragettes caused trouble here Sunday, in- terrupting the service in St, Paul’s Cathedral by loudly chant- ing a prayer on behalf of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. Evidently the chant had been faithfully re- hearsed, for the words were set to the same music as the choir was singing The latter were drowned out by the chanters for the sulfragette. The ushers ejected the women, who occupied the front seats. This ejection was only accom- a disgraceful scuf- fling in the sacred edifice. A squad of police, after the dis- turbers were driven out, were posted at the entrances to the cathedral to guard against fur- ther disturbances. plished after Birth.

Columbia, and Coen: promot- SEARCH ST PARIS AND Paris, Aug. 1.—No new de- velopment in the great pearl rob- bery is reported by the police of- ficials assigned to discover the thieves who are alleged to have stolen the $750,000 necklace somewhere between Paris and London two weeks ago. All agree, however, that the search for the jewels will be a long one, with- out any definite clew before the last day of this month, although they believe a certain clew will be in their possession by that time. Bertillon made elaborate pho- tographs of the rifled package both inside and out on Inspector Leoni’s return from London, It is stated that all chance of catch- ing the thieves through finger prints is gone because there ari too many overlapping marks of fingers all over the seals and wrappers. It will be remembered that Henri Salamans declared that he packed the necklace himself, plac- ing seven seals upon it, and Max Meyer, to whom the parcel jwas addressed in London, states that when he received it there were! nine seals, The police are now LCONTINUES FOR THE STOLEN NECKLACE NECKLACE VALUED AT THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOL- LARS WAS STOLEN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN LONDON. which the extra seals were put on. The detectives have practically abandoned the hypothesis that the jewels were stolen in transit or even taken from the post offices of London or Paris, because preservation of a package is con- trary to the method employed by jewel thieves, their invariable plan being to carry off the pack- ages rather than run the risk of attempting to imitate the seals. The detectives are not losing sight of the theory that the theft possibly took place before the package was mailed from Paris or after delivery in London.
