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.

GAMBLERS LOSE.
Those Who Bought German Marks
Are Out Millions.
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.

BROWN MOUNTAIN LIGHT
Interest in North Carolina Mystery is
Rising Again.
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.

Where cotton stalks were destroyed
