POLICE PUZZLED. Napoleon of Crime Having Poll Sway in Itondon. A Napoleon has been born in London?a Napoleon, of crime. Great jewel robberies have been the outstanding feature of this London season, robberies so huge that Scotland Yard itself admits that these robberies are the work of a master-mind, a super-crook. Newspapers are likening this super-crook to Prof. Moriarty?Conan Doyle's famous fiction character. Scotland Yard sleuths have already named the unknown super-crook "Moriarity." They are fully convinced that he is at the head of an 1 it7? nrwniza initruauuuai ~--o tion of crooks, which plans burglary, safe-breaking and jewel stealing on an unprecedented scale. "Moriarty," they say, has a town, house and a country house, a fleet of motor cars, and a host of friends, both straight and crooked, in London's best society. They do not know what Moriarty looks like. He may be a lord for all they know, but they are convinced that he is a man high in society. J. W. Bell, one of London's leading assessors, claims to know the man, but dares not give him away. All he will say is that "Moriarty" is the financier and brains of the thieves who work for him. Women Agents. "Moriarty," Bell claims, has women agents as well as men?some of them he declares, are titled. They will watch an intended victim for months, trail him across continents, . work their way into his homes as maid servants or confidantes, until the time is ripe to strike. Detectives declare that in all the latest big jewel hauls the victims have been shadowed for months. Here are a few of the big "jobs" which have taken place this season: Mrs. J. Byrne, an American, robbed of $60,000 worth of jewelry. Business man's wife robbed of $20,000 worth of jewels in a big ho) < tel. World-famous collection of gold coins stolen from the Albany apartments, London. i Theft of thirty pearl necklaces from a fashionable jewely store. -Robbery of 130 gold snuff boxes arfd ruby set goblets from a house on Brighton road. In no case ha9 there been any trace of the missing valuables. Usually in the case of common criminals "part of the booty turns up here or , on the continent." New Coupe Daily. Every day the newspapers bannerhead jewel hauls. Recently, two women, said to be agents of "<Moriarty," walked into a jewelry store and asked to be shown a gold bag. When the bag was produced the two girls, both of whom were pretty and stylishly dressed, asked the shop assistant to weigh the bag. The young man retired to the back of the shop, and the girls calmly putt heir hands through the partition separating the window from the shop and scooped up two trays full of diamond rings valued at $95,000. When the young man came back he noticed nothing, as the partition had been closed after the theft. The girls calmly asked the weight of the bag, and, being told, declared it was too expensive. / They smiled sweetly and. walked out. They have not been seen since, but police say they answer the de? scription of "Moriarity's" most aristocratic women assistants. London is echoing with the theft from a married couple living in Cornwall of the following: Twelve diamond brooches, rope of 284 pearls, gigantic ruby, formerly in the fez of a famous Shah of Persia; other Jewels valued at $50,000. And again the police are baffled. Rewards offered already run into tens of thousands of dollarst but the police say such rewards are useless. The master mind, this Napoleon of crime, pays hia agents so well that at a paltry bribe they turn up their aristocratic noses.?London Letter.

Gambling in German marks has cost Americans from a billion to two billion dollars, writes Edward M. Thiery. People are still buying marks and other foreign paper "money," but the big flood of speculation suddenly stopped a few weeks ago. Bankers report that buying was going on in large amounts in spite of their warning that purchase of German marks was a speculation and not an investment. It is believed that even the wildest speculators have no^ reached the conclusion that the bubble has burst, wiping out dreams of immense profits. "Estimates of the amount of American money spent for marks can be made better in Germany than in this country," said Dr. B. M. Anderson, Jr., economist of the Chase National Bank. "I have seen estimates of the Chase iedd,n(S-eq8a. granging from $1,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,000. Personally I wouldn't | know how to guess. % j National Loss is Large, But so Diffused No Credit Problem is Created. "Speculation in German marks has been a big national loss, but it is so | diffused that no credit problem has been created. I know of no institution or individual suffering a serious loss. | "The most serious thing about it is the demoralization of Germany which the crash in marks indicates. Demoralization in Germany is most serious of course for her closer neighbors?France, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium and the Scandinavian countries?but it is very serious for the United States also. Germany has 1 e ?"? Kacf nHotftmorc nnrl 066Q OlitJ UJ. uui ucoi vuei.vuiv*w a prosperous Germany is needed to balance the world's economic life." Dr. Anderson pointed out that while Germany as a whole has suffered very greatly in the financial demoralization, a good many individual Germany speculators have piled up immense profits. Foreseeing the decline in the mark, they borrowed marks on a great scale and used them to buy foreign currencies?dolla^, sterling, etc.,?or to buy goods, common stock or corporations, and other things whose value would not decline with the mark. After the fall of the mark these speculators could sell a small part of their purchases for enough marks to pay back their debts, retaining the greater part of the real values the/ had purchased. Hugo Stinnes is supposed to have built up much of his great fortune by this method. Other countries have plunged 'in German marks. Spain is said to have put 1,000,000,000 pesetas into marks by the end of 1920. f As recently as last week an Italian put $140 into German marks at the rate of 7 cents a hundred, receiving 200,000 marks (which before the war were worth $50,000.) At the New York bank where he bought them he was warned that he might lose his $140. "Ah!" he exciaimea, grminug, "but I may make a million!" Bell Boy, Elevator Man and Doorman Owners of Millions in Marks. A small New York hotel has a bell boy, an elevator operator and a doorman who own several million Polishmarks, a million German marks, and several hundred thousand French francs and Italian lire. , / Meanwhile reports from Germany say that women there are protecting their saving by putting doubtful paper money into silk stockings? something they can sell later! How widespread American speculation in German marks has become is indicated by a letter received by a New York bank from a small banker in Texas asking whether marks were a "good investment." He was told ; they were a "long shot gamble." Bankers believe granting the impossiblity of a recovery in German t*iqt?vc th-at. thev will eithdr go so low that they will cease Lto he used as a means of barter, or else there will be official repudiation. In either case American speculators will have one or two billion dollar's worth of "wallpaper" -on their hands. I Motor Oar Service.

Once more the Brown mountain ; light is perplexing scientists. George Otis Smith, scientor of the geological survey, recently told a Washington correspondent that he is having a map made to show all the Jonas ridge country, and the light or lights. He is determined to clear up this North Carolina mystery if he can. Recently an expert on his own , account, went to the state and made a careful study of the alleged moving light. He sided with the governmpnt exnerts in the conclusion that a locomotive on the Southern railway carried one of the lights. "When our map is completed," said Mr. Smith, "it will be easier to convince visitors to western North Carolina just how the light is produced." The finding of the National Geographic society which is considered by some the last word in such things ! worries the experts of the federal . government, ' "Scientists were at first prone to cavil at the stories which came out of the mountains with the tourists thinking perhaps that locomotive ' < head lights or wily mountaineers were playing pranks on active imaginations" the society expert said, "but now physicists and meteorologists of note believe that there occurs around the mountain crest a brush discharge of lightning, or the Stelmo's fire." vThe "doctors" disagree on the , Brown mountain light, and the geolo- , gical survey is going to continue its < efforts to clear the atmosphere.
