LONDON, April 24— Spectacular
holdups, mysterious murders and
thrilling jewelry robberies are elasn:
injr the best skdl ot Scotand ^ aid »tn i
holding the attention ol the London
public. Not for many years if inde. !
over— have the authorities been call* l
upon to cope with such a wave
crime as that which has swept the me
tropolis since the hcfginniujg of t!v
year. While some arrests have been
made and some men punished, the p-»
liee are hard put to keep pace wit's
tin* criminals.
So frequent have robberies become
that London bankers have taken meas
ures to meet possible raids on the.r
cash counters, a proe< eding hither! *
unknown in the city. All cashiers have
been instructed U keep cash out *f

counters. The police in the neighbor- ■
hoo<| of important hanking house.- ;
have* been ordered to be especially vi
gilant . particularly at the lunch hour.
The pievalence of crime was first
called to the attention of the author
ities when the newspapers made ;i|
sensation out of the sudden death of
“Billie** Carlton, a favorite actress,
who was found dead in her apartment j
the morning after the famous Libeity !
Ball several months ago. It developed
that she had died from an overdose of
V
a drug. An investigation showed tluu I
the practice of drug-taking was in
creasing in the city and that “opium
parties” were* not uncommon.
Next the city was startled by the
arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Norman
C. Rutherford, of the army medic ll
corps, charged with shooting to death
Major Miles (’. Seton also of the mod I
ical corps, at the house of the Major’s !
cousin , Sir Maleom Seton in Holland .
Bark. The hearing of this case in court
has'not been concluded.
Muiders of less importance follow- j
ed. each having some unusual feature.
The city was again aroused a few
“weeks ago by the published statement
that Major H. K. Chaney, of the Royai ,
Air force, had tried to kill his aged
mother, at Talgarth Mansions, an ? j
then killed himself. Mrs. Chaney was 1
severely wounded, but hopes are on
tertained for her recovery. Police in
vestigation threw no light on th.
tragedy so far as the public was con
cerned. Major Chaney was one of the
best known officers of the British air !
force, having been the inventor of th
camera gun w ith which cadets were !
trained in aerial gunnery.
Of robberies there have been manr. J
Holdups have taken place in the Wes, I
Lnd and in the suburbs at night, while !
scores of houses and apartments have 1
been robbed in the most clever man
nor.
Jewelry robberies have perhaps
been the most frequent crimes since I
the epidemic set in. A number of high
r-»iss shops have been entered in day- i
light by theives who on pretense of
buying diamonds, have stolen jewels 1
to the value of many thousands of
dollars.
Many causes are assigned for the
number and character of the crime*,
the majority of them placing the re
sponsibility at the doors of discharg
ed soldiers. Police officers from some
of the most important American cities
arc in London seeking international
criminals who may have been dis
charged from some of the armies.
French and Italian officers also are
said to he here, each looking for an
opportunity to assist in the genen!
round-up.
Meantime the crimes continue.
