PARIS EXPOSES INTERNATIONAL,
 CRIME HOOKUP
Tips on Police Broadcast; School for Criminals
 Also Discovered

Paris, Nov. 20-(UP)-Two start ling disclosures in crime have been made by the Paris police prefecture.
 Investigators have discovered the existence of worldwide broadcast ing system through which warnings against police traps are sent in a mysterious code to criminals all over the world. They also have obtained circulars that show there is a we'll equipped correspondence school of- fering complete courses in any form of crime.
 The radio organization, police discovered, makes frequent broad- casts from Britain, France, Ger many, the United States and other countries. The wave lengths are changed for each broadcast. Ex- perts are trying to discover the code used. French police also have been trying to find the location of the transmitting stations for six months. The code has baffled them even when they succeeded in pick ing up some message.
 Tale of Two Crooks
 Recently police here were ad- vised from London of the depar- ture of two notorious confidence men for France. They were trav- cling with third man of whom nothing was known.
 As 1t was known that their bag gage was registered through the Care du Nord, police were content to await their arrival there, but only the third man arrived He was able to satisfy the police that he was not associated with the two crooks, but had merely made their acquaint- ance in a London hotel and trav- eled to France with them.
 The man disclosed that one of the two confidence men carried a pocket receiving set with which he had picked up messages at in-

nREAMS of a great Hawaiian O empire surged through the mind of Chief Kamehameha as he ascended his native throne in 1782. At that period the islands were divided into four separate kingdoms, each leapinG at the throat of the other.
 So K a m e h a m h promptly mapped his strategy. Equipping himself better than his foes, en- listing foreign and native aid, as- sembling vast stores of firearms, he took to his ships and earnest conquest. By 1795 he had suc- ceeded in conquering all of the islands except Kauai and Niihau. The latter he won by cession in 1910.
 And immediately, having effect- ed an empire consolidation, he or- ganized government, checked oppression, moved to encourage industry, suppress crime. First king of all the Hawaiians, Kame- hameha became in effect the George Washington of these islands.
 By 1915 he had thwarted Rus- sian designs on the islands and two years later had eliminated the scourge of Spanish pirates. Next he sought to introduce teachers of Christianity, but in this he failed. Until his death in 1919, Kame- hameha steadily pushed Hawaii toward a new horizon.
 His memory is perpetuated by the new Hawaiian territorial issue, portraying the statue of Kame. hameha 1.

tervals during the journey. These were in code, and the man "lis- tening" read the code words out to his companion. It was after receiving one of these messages that the two decided to travel by road to Paris.
 The informant remembered a few of the code words he had heard, the police now know that they formed part of a message sent to warn the two men that the police were watching for them.
 Various Languages Used
 The circulars describing the crime school had been sent out in French, English, German and Italian. The address given was that of private postal service for the convenience of the public at an agreed charge.
 Police have seized hundreds of letters from embryo crooks all over the world, and 1t is planned to round up the pupils" in France and to furnish to the police of their respective countries the names and addresses of students abroad.
 The school offered special course in various forms of coining and the forging of bank notes and letters of credit. And residential courses in pocket picking and in forms of the confidence trick also were on the prospectus.
 These courses last from three to six months, and proficiency is or money will be re- funded. The fees, full board in- cluded, range from $50 to $50 a week.
