R THEFT OF FAMOUS Experts Believe Band Will Not Be Able to Dispose of $2,- 060,000 Diamond. D By the Associated Press. CHANTILLY, France, October 13.— The theft of the famous rose dia- mond, valued at more than $2,000, 000 and other articles of value from the chateau of the Duc d’Aumale has stirred France more than any other crime since Leonardo da Vinci’s famous portrait, “Mona Lisa,” was stolen from the Louvre in 1910. The perpetrators were still at large today. The police, however, believe they have a clue pointing to one of the band of daring thieves, con- sisting of at least four men. The suspect was released from the penitentiary 18 months ago. He formerly resided in Chantilly and is known to be connected with one of the most skilled gangs of acrobatic burglars in France. The thieves scaled the wall -of the seventeenth century castle and crossed a moat with a 40-foot ladder. Police believe the thieves were pro- vided with an automobile which en- ubled them to get from Chantilly to Calais in time to catch a boat before the general alarm announcing the reached the ports of France. prints taken in “the room which the thieves looted, have been examined at the police laboratory. Jewelers say that although the pink rose diamond likely to prove white elephant on the hands of th thieves, nevertheless the marauders ought to realize enough on the two diamond-studded daggers, the brace- rets and other hooty to make their operation profitable. When “Mona Lisa” was taken from the Louvre a wide search was made for it throughout the world. It was finally found in 1913 in Floren Ttaly. An Italian named Perguia was arrested, charged with the theft. He | was sentenced to 1 year and 15 days’ imprisonment. The portrait was re- turned to the Louvre.

The right of States to prohibit in- surance companies from issuing poli- cles to indemnify automobile com- panies for losses suffered through confiscation by the authorities of cars being sold on the installment plan was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday in an appeal by the in- surance commissioner of Oregon. He sought to have set aside an injunction obtained by the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Maryland and others restraining him from enfore- ing_such an order. The companies replied that the courts had held theft, | burglary and similar forms of in- surance valid, and that indemnity in- surance was in the same class. Because of unseasonal rains, flroore's‘ currant crop has been greatly dam- aged this season. The Losers < At the primary we voted, three or seven weeks ago, and some winners roundly gloated o'er the fallem, stricken foe; and the losers, on whose faces bitter tears had left their traces, muttered bleakly: “In high places there was treachery, we know. Men who should have stood behind us lent a hand to knock us flat, and their beastly actions grind us so we scarce know where we're at; men we thought supporters hearty dumped us and be- trayed the party, but we’ll pay up every smarty, or we'll eat a Sunday hat. There's a future, we remember, as we poultice all our sores; it may chance that in November we can even up some scores; we recall, amid our fevers, we have butcher knives and cleavers for the traitors and deceiv- ers who have thrown us out of doors. He who licks us in a fair way our respect and faith commands; but they kicked us down the stalrway when we looked for helping hands; so the people cannot wonder if we're out for blood and thunder, if we've vowed to trample under all those false con- spiring bands.” But from out the wreck of matter there emerged one o |candidate who'd been beaten, beaten flatter than a pancake on a plate; for a time his head was dizzy; then he cried: “So help me, Lizzie, cer- tainly the boys got busy, but their work was clean and straight. I'm surprised how many rallled to my banner at the polls; if some balked or shilly-shallied, it's their privilege, good souls; I was not betrayed or cheated, like a prince I have been treated, and I am not sore or heated if they shot me full of holes.” Then the people looked with loathing on the -men whose heads were sore, on the wights who rent their clothing and who pawed around and swore; and they praised the man who twit- tered, all serene and unembittered, of the broken hopes now littered all around his cottage door.
