PARIS. August 3l.-Two ex-detectives
have put forward the theory that the
great robberies which have for years past
proved exciting to the readers of the
worlds newspapers. are committed by a
confederacy. a syndicate of international
criminals. a survival of what was once
known as the swell mob" The MEM
bers of this wide organization (which
they believe extends from the United
States TO Europe) are not vulgar rogues.
They dress we'll. mix in good society and
seem we'll bred
Moreover. by the rules to which they
subscribe they are, in their dealings with
each other. strangely loyal.
If one of them is caught write the

the cost of the greatest sacrifices and the
risk of the most deadly dangers. If it
becomes impossible to rescue him, por-

Is well looked after and his family is

The members of the organization work
habitually in crowded places. in the great
cosmopolitan hotels, or on the trains. BY
closely watching the most frequented
places. parts of cities. above all. about
midnight, it is suggested that their
crimes might soon be checked.

NJ. Alphonse Bertilion. head of the iden-

replying to the theory of the two ex-de-
