DIAMOND THIEVES
THRIVING GREATLY
MANY SALES OF "SPARKLERS'
TO AMERICANS. BIG FIGHT
ON GEM ROBBERS.

LONDON.-There has been a big
shakeup in Scotland Yard and the re-
organization which has been effected
is regarded as an indication that the
metropolitan police detective force
is going to pit its best brains against
the robbers who recently have made
rich hauls here, especially of dia-
monds. 1t is believed that London
may be the center for a gang of
shrewd thieves, who, during the war,
were unable to make any big strikes.
The sale of diamonds has become
so f1ourishing in the last few months,
especially in America, that crooks
seem to have concentrated their at
tention on consignments of these
gems.
Crafty Crooks Survive War.
According to experts who devoted
their time before the war to running
down international crooks many of
shadiest characters were killed dur
ing the conflict after being conscript-
ed into various European armies, but
some of the craftiest ones are alive
and have hitched up with promising
amateurs.
The latest diamond steal, in which
100000 worth of the precious stones
disappeared in transit from London
to Colombo, is now thought to have
occurred in London. Recently $751;
900 worth disappeared between Cape
Town and Liverpool. Earlier in the
year diamonds worth $4,000 disap-

peared between London and Holland.
These are the most spectacular
achievements of diamond thieves dur
ing the present year, but there have
been numerous smaller thefts in Lon
don and other European capitals.
Fur Thefts, Too.
Furs said to be valued at $4,000
were stolen in London a few days
ago.
Although there may be an attempt
to dispose of cut diamonds in Ameri-
ca, it is much more difficult to get
rid of uncut diamonds except in In
dia and the east.
Passport restrictions have greatly
interfered with crooks moving about
from one country to another, but
some are believed to ship as seamen.
Owing to rigid supervision of all ap-
plicants for seamen's jobs on Ameri-
can ships in foreign ports there is
little probability, the American au-
thorities say, of crooks shipping on
American vessels.

Aged and Highly Esteemed Woman
Passes Away Suddenly.

Mrs. Eliza Goode Price died at the
home of her son, Mr.. Julian Price,
two and a half miles from Leesburg,
yesterday morning following brief
illness, death coming with almost
tragic suddenness. Mrs. Price was
SO years old and her death is believ-
ed to be largely the result of her adj
vanced age.
She was the widow of the late DR..
j. R. Price, who died at Macon some
thirty-five years ago. For years she
had made her home in Lee county
where her sons, Messrs. Julian and
Goode Price, live. Interment was in

beloved women of Lee county, where

ABoUT EXPRESS SHIPMENTS.

The new express packing rules
went into effect Wednesday, ac-
cording to statement made by
Agent E. S. Travis, in charge OF
the local express offices. Under
the regulations now in force, all
express shipments over % pounds
must be forwarded in wooden
containers or cartons bearing the
boxmaker's certificate as to the
strength and size required by the
express company.
No change is contemplated in
the shipments under the 25-pound
limit, which will still be accepted
wrapped in paper. Agent Travis
advised Christmas shippers not
only to send their holiday pack
ages early, but to see that they
were properly packed and accu-
rately addressed.
"We expect a heavy movement
of Christmas gifts by express this
year" said Mr.. Travis, land this
at a time when we are handling
a greater amount of traffic than
at any period in the history of
the railroads. 1t will be well
for Christmas shippers to keep in
mind the 25-pound limitation for
paper wrapped packages. Most
holiday presents, we believe, are
under that weight and are, there
fore, not affected by the new
rules.
But any shipment over 25
pounds must be forwarded in spe-
clal containers, and we will be
very glad to give any one inter
ested full information as to how
they should prepare their Christ
mast presents for shipment by ex-
press"
