STOLEN JEWELS ARE A H0oDoo
wise Crooks Let Big Gems Alone
Because they Are Hard 20
Dispose Of

Disposing OF stolen Jewels Is a difficult
undertaking. particularly II the jewels are
Of great value. II Is almost impossible to
get rid Of large stones in this country and
harder still to dispose of them in England
and France II they are stolen. The only
way to do It with safety is TO cut the stone
up and when a large stone is cut It de-
creases greatly In value.
Diamond dealers all over the world are
on the lookout now for the large pear
shaped diamond that was stolen from the
Tiffany workrooms some weeks ago. Every
reputable dealer would refuse to buy that
brilliant IL It were offered for sale in the
shape in which 1t was stolen. That there
are diamond dealers who are not reputable
goes without saying, but II they bought
this stone they would buy It with the idea
OF cutting II.
Large diamonds are not so numerous that
they cannot be kept track Of When a large
diamond is found 1t sooner or later finds its
way to the greatest diamond market in the
world, which is London. Persons through
whose hands a large stone passes are care
full to note its good points as well as de-
fects, II It has any.
Every diamond over ten carats is CON
sdered a large one and worthy of particu-
lar note. Every dealer who handles such
stone can give n minute description OF IL.
The purer the stone the more attention It
attracts from the persons who handle It.
That is why it is hard to dispose of stolen
diamonds OF any account for when one is
stolen every dealer throughout the world
hears of 1t and has such a good description
of the missing stone that he can hardly fail
to identify It.
The ordinary stolen Jewels find their way
to pawnshops and fences. There are Jewell
ers in this town who have the reputation
of being fences, but none Of them does
business direct with the thief.
When q large stone is stolen here or in
England or France the first place the
searchers look for IL to turn up Is in Am
sterdam. which Is the center of the diamond
cutting industry, II It doesn't appear there
within reasonable time its owners can
! bid good-by to IT, for it will probably be
disposed of without trouble in the orient.
India, Persia and Turkey are the three
countries where large diamonds can be sold
without cutting them up.
! once they are taken into one of these
| countries they are hidden just as If they
were put back into the ground. Diamond
dealers say that the greater number of inn
| portant jewels that have been stolen have
| found their way to these countries The
Indian princes will buy and ask no ques-
| tions.
The high class native of India is a re-
markable Judge of all kinds OF precious
stones. and many OF them count most OF
! their wealth in this form.
Diamond dealers and police all over the
| civilized world have long realized that as
| soon as a precious stone finds its way to
| the orient it is lost until its buyer dies and
! his property is divided among his wives
| or his relatives.-New York Sun.

GLASGOW TO BUY MOUNTAIN
scotch City Decides TO Provide n
Summer Resort for It's
People.

y GLASGOW, Aug. H.-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee.)-At a meeting Of the Glasgow
corporation the lord provost read a letter
which The had received from Mr. Cameron
Corbett, NJ. p, suggesting the purchase OF
a mountain for Glasgow as a sort of public
park. The letter follows:
have just agreed to purchase a part of
Ardkinglass estate, with the object of hand
Ing over the three best farms lying between
Loeb Long and Loeb Goyle to the corpora
ton of Glasgow. The extent of the land is
about 1900 acres. AS II is not possible in
many cases for the public to have access
TO mountains in this neighboThood, II would
seem to me desirable that our fellow citl-
which should be their own for all time. My
usual clause against the sale of liquor
should also make II condition that the
revenue derived from the property should
be diverted to the purpose Of making It
more accessible to our citizens whether by
ferry or by other means.
My general object is to preserve a grand
and rugged region for the best use Of
those who love the freedom of the noun
tains and wild natural beauty. While I
would not object to the erection of simple
cottages | should greatly repel anything
being done. which would disturb the nat
uralness of such scenery and would sug-
gest that our artists might be consulted
taken While make the two restrictions
ana one earnest suggestion, / trust that
none of these will be felt by the corpora-
tion to interfere in any undesirable Wav
with their freedom to do their best for the
citizens, or to imply any limitations OF ths
heartiness with which / appreciate your
own and their public services
The purchase will be completed in No
vember and the shooting is let until May.
The lord provost said that he had seen Mr..
Corbett and it was in consonance with his
view that this matter should be RENTED to
the finance committee Mr. Corbett said
he was shooting tenant there a few years
ago and thought 1t would be such pos
session as would be suitable for the people
| OF Glasgow, and If an opportunity offered
he would acquire it. He had taken pleasure
/ in doing so.
