Il CLEVER SWINDLER.
Juggler Juggles s39O,O00 Out of
Victim by Diamond Game.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribunel
LCopyright 1905 by The Tribune Association. ]


Paris, Jan. 11.-Considerable amusement is
caused here by the revelations of the police pro-
ceedings against a well known Partisan sleight-
of-hand man and juggler who has recently been
figuring chemist. He not only claimed that
he had discovered a scientific method Of making
artificial diamonds, but he even succeeded in OBJ
tanning from Sir Julius Wernher, of the De
Beers Company, an advance of $4,000.
The swindler, whose name is Lemoine, simply
placed real diamonds in his electric oven and by
sleight-of-hand manipulation produced them as
the result of his alleged chemical methods The
swindle was detected, however, by one of the
representatives of Sir Julius Wernher who
secretly placed cut diamond in Lemoines cleo
trio crucible, whereupon Lemoine handed over
the cut diamond among the others that he
claimed had been made in his oven.
Lemoine persisted in maintaining great secrecy
in regard to his formula. which, he asserted
had been deposited under seal in the Bank of
England, not to be opened until after his death
It against this formula that Sir Julius
Wernher advanced Lenoine $500 OOO The
money was regarded by the adroit scientific"
swinder merely first instalment." to be
followed by other and even larger payments.

Great Britain must accept the responsibilities

There are also the complaining voices OF the
Radicals that England was safer without her
alliance with Japan than she is with It, because
wars cannot be restricted and localized when
there are coalitions for emergencies and the
good offices Of neutrals are vitiated by dual

There is no lack of confidence in the dlplo-

governments for settling the immigration ques-

picion that Washington and Berlin VIII form

ONLY SOLDIERS PRANK
Picquart,s Reply to attack ON HIS
Administration of Army.
Ispecial by French Cable to The Tribune


Paris, jan 11.-During the last few days the
political opponents Of General Picquart, the
Minister of War, have been making capital out
of a trifing incident in the garrison OF PontiVy
in their endeavor to show that anu-militarlsm
and lack of discipline were on the increase In
the army since General Picquart became war
minister All that happened was that three
young non-commissioned officers OF the "a
Chasseurs went on a spree together, and. as a
joke defaced the bronze statue Of General de
LourrneI which stands in the public square OF
the town. The colonel Of the regiment pun
ished the offenders by a severe reprimand ana
by conining them to barracks for twenty days.
Meanwhile the opposition papers gave a SEN
sational Importance to the incident as PROOF
that French soldiers no longer respected their
chiefs and that the whole military edifce OF
France was crumb1ng to decay through insuo-
ordination and lack Of discipline
General PicQuart, however, refused to regard
the incident In any other light than as a foolish
escapade, an after supper lark Of three young
men who had been adequately punished. The
minister, nevertheless, the facts had been SO
grossly exaggerated, ordered that, as an expia-
ton to the memory of General de Lourmel, the
whole regiment should march past the generals
statue and present arms TO 1t; and this was
done cheerfulIy and with alacrity. c. I. B.
