More than a score of private de-

Cusdcn-Mountbatten jewelry rob-
bery in which upward* of $250,000
in gems were stolen mysteriously
from two of the wealthiest families
of the United States and England.
The losers were Mrs. J. S. Cos-
den, wife of the head of the Cos-
den oil group, and Lady Mountbat-
ten, who is a member of the Prince

So far as could he learned, no

Tuesday from the palatial country
estate.
Jewels Left in Rooms.
The robbery was committed by a
sneak thief who entered the rooms
of Mrs. Cosden, Lady Mountbatten
and Mrs. Norton while they were
away Monday night. Most of the
jewels had been loft on bureaus
and dressing tables by the three wo-
men. Mrs. Cosden’s loss was placed
at approximately $80,000.

Washington, Sept. 1L—No cere-
mony is to mark acceptance of the
ZR-3, world’s largest airship, when ;t
is formally turned over to the
United State- by the German gov-

they do not believe there should bo
any show for such on occasion.
Early arrangements provide that
the ZR-3 be met at sen by the
Shenandoah and a squadron cf air-
planes and convoyed to the Lake-
hnrst, N. J., landing field.
A small group of naval officers
will he on the ground there offi-
cially to take over the airship on
behalf of the United States govern-
ment. Secretary Wilbur's presence
at Lakehurst l.i contingent upon
his arrival from the Pacific coast.
Built by Zeppelin Company.
The ZR-:» was constructed hy the
Zeppelin Company at Friederichs-
shaven, Germany, under the watch-
ful eye of three United States
navy experts. The navy depart-
ment stationed George W. Steele,
Lt. Commander Sidney M. Krous
and Commander Fulton Garland to
follow the construction day by day.
Steele was in charge of the detail.
Kraus inspected the various en-
gines of the craft while Garland
