FRENCH DETECTIVE CHASES THIEF
HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD
AND CAPTURES HIM IN JUNGLE
Paris, Sept. 24.—This is the story
of a Paris detective who traveled
half way around the world for his
quarry, And finally, in the dense
jungle of Annam, threw aside his
disguise and arrested his man, who
is now doing three years in jail.
As related here, an antiquary
named Malraux was under the ob
servance of the Paris police, sus
pected of being responsible for
some recent thefts from French
museums. It was thought he had
designs on collections of antiques
in one if the French provinces, and
as a matter of routine a detective
was assigned to trail Malraux and
a companion wherever they might
The pair went to a seaport and
there took passage on steamer for
Saigon, French Indo-Chiaa, and the
detective went along on the same
vessel. He did not even have time
te buy • change of clothing, but
.made friends among the crew and
borrowed what he needed.

Pose As Rich Traders.
At Saigon Malraux and his friend
posed as rich travelers anxious to
see the country, while the detec
tive sleuthed around in the back
ground. He had ; however, mad*
known his mission to the local
French authorities, and when Mal
raux asked for guides to the re-
mote districts of Annam the detec
„ *»
tive was among the natives assign
ed, but cleverly disguised.
The party scoured the region of
Angkor, rich in holy relics and fine
specimens of old Chinese art, and
Malraux and his companion bought
freely. Also they did not hesitate,
conditions being favorable, to bur
glarize Annamite temples for par
ticularly fine specimens.
The border of Siam was not far
away, and the collectors, having
#
decided to leave the country by that
route, called up the native guides
and dismissed them. Then the Par
is detective had his day. The hum
ble disguise was cast aside, the
French policeman stepped out, and
Malraux and his friend was placed
under arrest.
The case was tried at Phom
penh, Cochin China and Malraux
had bo defense. It came out dur
ing the trial that his antiques were
destined for a New York antiquary
and were worth 1,000,000 francs.

Moslem Women Demand Removal of Veil;
Want Freedom; Willing to Pay For It
Jerusalem, Sept. 24.—The stubborn
conservatism of the Mohammedan
custom with regard to the social iso
lation of the women in Palestine
may soon give way before the move
ment launched by Arab .feminists
for the removal of the veil. The
Holy Land, backward in many re
spects, is behind such Moslem coun
tries as Turkey and Egypt in break
ing the shackles holding the women
in seclusion.
The movement for the enfran
chisement of Moslem women in Pal
estine is of recent origin and is
traceable to the influx of people
from the west, especially Jewish im
migrants coming to settle in their
national home.
As the first step toward their
emancipation the women demand ec
clesiastical sanction for the removal
of the dark veil from their faces.
If such flying in the face of age
long custom does not win official
approval, some of the leading Arab
women of Palestine are determined
to do what their Moslem sisters did
