RUSSIAN JEWELS
LARGE QUANTITIES STOLEN. SMUGGLED INTO EASTERN EUROPE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, July 26. Great quantities of Russian jewels are coming into France, Italy, and Holland clandestinely-. A Jewish pearl merchant recently came to Paris with a diplomatic valise belonging to a small State adjoining Russia, so that the case escaped the Ouctoms examination. Later, the police questioned the Jew, who refused to epen the valise. The police broke it open, and found jewels worth 200,000 francs. Other precious stones to the value of 1,500,000 francs were traced to a safe in a Paris bank, where the Jew had deposited them. Most of the jewels had been stolen from proscribed Russian families and churches.
