The police are seeking ill th.is city the head of what is said to be a remarkable group of international criminals. A veritable "Napoleon of Crime" is believed to have established his headquarters in this city. He is alleged to command a well organized band of internation al crooks, every one of whom is a past master of every form of nefari ous graftsmanship known in the un derworld. They include men of edu cation, scientific attainmentsand so cial charm. Under he leadership of their mys terious chief they are credited with conducting burglaries, cracking safes and committing costly jewel robber ies that baffle detection. They are declared to work in accordance witfi plans of campaign prepared by the master mind with all the skill of a great military strategist. Several papers print his story with varying degree of sensationalism. Of lute there has been an increasing number of jewel robberies. As a re sult an insurance company which in sures a good deal of valuable jewelry has increased its premiums charged on thisaclass c-f risks by 25 percent. J. W. Bell, one of London't lead ing assessors, says that many recent big robberies have been so well plan ned an 1 executed that the police can do little more than suspect the au thors. "The people who engineer these crimes are not the common, .ordi nary type of thief," Mr. Bell says. "There is more than one real Raf fles In existence today. They haunt society gatherings, and in the hotels they are popular guests. "I know one man who has a town address, a country house near Bour nemouth, and two fine motor-cars, who is more than suspected of com plicity in some of these great robber ies, but up to the present time there has never been the slightest chance of connecting him with any of them. "He is of good appearance, always well dressed, and would, in the ordi nary Wiiy, be accepted as a guest at the houses of wealthy people. "I know one instance in which a director of thieves is reputed to be i worth $150,000. Another successful director is a woman who has a uni versity education, and is a cultured and charming personality. "The victims, both in hotels and at private houses are often watched and shadowed for days before a suitable opportunity for the rohbery occurs. It may easily cost $1,000 or $1,500 to meet the expenses of a successful haul, snd the big thieves require fre quent robberies to maintain them selves." CIRCUS COMING TO TARBORO The circus is coming holds many interests for every member of the family. For example , .'ttle Willie's behavior has been beyond reproach. He has seen the flaring posters an nouncing the coming of the circus and nightly chores are done with a precision which has caused mothers to take particular notice. Willie has felt the thrill. "., The circus is an American institu tion it is a recreation for all classes. Seated aide by side, the youngsters of 'the rich are just as 'delighted and can gain no more enjoyment than the poorest orphan, and the daring feats of the bareback riders, thrilling aerial arts and wholesome comedy of the clowns fall alike upon eyes and ears. .- The special trains bearing ttie Campbell-Bailey-Hutchinson Combin ed ,Circus and Wild West will arrive in Tarboro at daybreak October 7. The glittering mile long free street parade will take ' place at noonday and there will be two complete per formances at 8 and 8 p.m. Doors will open one hour earlier. EADER III LONDON INIDAIMEET PARIS, Oct. 5 An' agreement has been reached at .a. conference of the allied and Turkish military leaders at Mudania and will be signed soon, ac cording to private dispatches. The main lines of the agreement, says Figaro, are that the British and Turks teth withdraw from the neu tral zone of the Dardanelles. The Turks igree for the allies to remain at Constantinople during the peace negotiations, and the Greeks are to evacuate Thrace within ten days. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. .5. British general headquarters reports the appearance of Turkish National ist cavalry at Kandra, 65 miles east nf ConstantinoDle. at the neutral zone. SMYRNA, Oct. 5. An agreement which has been reached at Mudania conference between the allied and Turkish delegates, according to mes sage received here, -was communicat ed to the Greek delegates, who ex pressed dissatisfaction, declaring themselves not empowered to reply and that they must have instructions from Athens. E EXERCISES HELD The Sunday School Auditorium of the Presbyterian Church wac com fortably filled last night, to witness the Graduating exercise of the Edge combe Generel Hospital. Dr. J. M. Baker presided at these cxercfescs and" after a fewintroduc tory remarks asked Rev. Slaughter to have the Payer. Mr. S. S. Nash introduced the Speaker of the evening, but before doing this he complimented the Grad uates on having passed their examin ations and reached that point in their life where they would be called upon for real service. He l.icsented each one "of these Graduates with a present but it wa not known what this present was. Mi Nash requested the nurses not to open the packages at this time as it might be a dispointmcnt to them an embarrssment to him. He then presented Mr. Lyon Bond to the audience in a very flattering manner. The rddress by Mr. Bond was well worded and nicely delivered. It con tained much valuable information and w is inspiration to the Graduater whb heard him. He in a brief mannei gave a history of the Art of: Healine and Nursing and his words of advici and admonition will be long remem bered by those who heard him. The presentation of the Class Pint was made by Mr. M. G. Mann, whe told the Graduates the great respon sibility they had assumed when they received their diploma. , The diplomas were presented b Rev. Mr. Brown in a neat, greacefu way. He told these mireses that thej were not only to cure the body but they had great opportunity to carry comfort and joy and happiness to tht souls of those whom they would havV to care for in the future.

When work begins October 15 in exploring the dust buried ruins of the city of Ur, ancestral home of the Patriarch Abraham, by a joint expedition of the British Museum and the Univer sity of Pennsylvania Museum, the archaeologists will have to contend with few of the extraordinary diffi culties which hitherto have hampered work of the sort in Southern Mesopo tamia. That country is now under a Brit ish mandate. Hence the first difficulty that of sharing the best of the dis coveries with the museum in Con stantinople is removed. Then, be fore the war virtually everything had to be done by hand. The expedition now on its way will be the first to utilize a complete modern mechani cal equipment. Streets once thronged with men and women, silent now and buried for three thousand years, will echo the roar of locomotives and mo tor trucks. "The expedition will start work under the most favorable auspices," said Dr. G. B. Gordon, director of the University Museum. "Since the Brit ish Museum is a governmental insti tution it. was a simple matter to ob tain equipment. The Colonial Office gave the utmost cooperation. A mili tary railway and motor lorries have been provided to maintain communi cation with headquarters of the ex pedition, which will be at Bagdad." Dr. C. L. Wolley, who has been at work recently on a H ittiteite on. the Upper Euphrates' river, has been se lected by Dr. Gordon to head the ex pedition, the British Museum having asked him to name a chief. Colonel r. W. Lawrence, a war hero and ex plorer of international reputation, will be second in command. Colonel Lawrence is credited with winning :he Arab tribesmen over to the allies in the world war. He was captured by the Turks and spent two years in i prison camp.

URGES GOVERMENT MONOPOLY TO STABILIZE RAW SILK TRADE YOKOHAMA, Sept. - 30. An in- reasimf amount of attention has een paid to the important of stab lizing the raw silk trade that the narket may be free from the violent Huctuations to which it is frequently subject says Diamond, a financial lewspaper. When the market slumps the nier ;hant8 and manufacturers try to keep he prioe of raw silk at a certan level 'ind among these means a certain I I'igure, says the newspaper. "If these devices fail, they ask for government assistance on the ground hat raw silk is the most important u'ticle of export in the country. The government has been doing every :hing to propitiate them. "As the 1920 stock is being dispos ed of a new situation has arisen vhich promises to develop into diffi :ulty ns the season advances. When .he spring cocoone appeared on the narket the raw silk market at Yoko lama maintained great activity and ligh price with the consequence that Manufacturers brought cocoons a,t a very high price. The market, since has suffered a decline and raw silk s now Quoted in the neighborhood if 1,800 yen. The cutting down of utput and the restriction of ship ments to Yokohama have been agree jd upon, but it is thought doubtful whether these artificial means will be effective in turning the tide of a Vclinirg market in the ma-i-if-s t Coastal Plain Fair Opens October 3 1st REPORT OF FARM Early in the month, had a patho-l legist from the office of extension :i PuUiiiU . vk-i -ill farm ffnini sped breeding work in cotton, to pass Up- on the percentage of prevalence anv disease that might be transmit-,'! ted by ,eed. His findings will later be published in bullntin form, by the vt,win fr the nrotection of prospective purchasers of planting seed. I shall not anticipate his statement further than to say that these inves tigations reassure us we are making considerable progress in this manner of disease control. Especially is this so of what is known as anthracnosc, oi pink boll rot. Later in the month, had Mr. Nel son, sweet potato specialist, with the same ioea as applied to cotton, to visit farms specializing with improv ed stook in sweet potato plantings. We think we shall have in that line some as good as there is in the coun try. We arranged with Dean Oke, and Tir River Livestock Association to hold a special meeting to consider matters pertaining to the swine in dustry. It was held in the courthouse, about ! present. We have heard va rious comments about its success, but inquiries for breeding stock, about feeds, pastures, bulletins, and market information, has iniirensed.- Have made 17 special visits, be sides the drop-ins, to choose stock, or ether things for fair exhibits, or to i'.dvie about preparation. Three spe cial calls to advise about remodelling old poultry houses. Have distributed .") bulletins, state and federal. Since my last report, the cotton boll weevil- ha? been identified all along the .northern border of the county, which means of course the whole county is infested. I have written a few short articles lor local publication, -In-these, I try to state only such tacts as any citi zen could well afford to know. Not of the' scuic-head kind. 1 would call up on all true citizens to avoid every thing that might cause panic. Considerable time has been taken to make up shipment of picric acid for blowing up stumps. Had some seed of an improved -train of yellow sweet clover sent me from Tennessee. Have arranged with Mr. Currin to have some of them planted at. Edge combe Test Farm, to compare with ether legumes. ZENO MOORE. WILL TACKLE BOLL WEEVIL. (Rocky Moun Telegram.)

An opportunity for Americans to see themselves as at least some others see them, is af forded by an English correspondent who comments on the number of American tourists he has met in his travels through the country recently.
