POLICE INSPECTION.
Last November Prince Dolgoru- koff met a Russian in Paris who claimed to have influence with the Soviet Legation there. This Russian offered to obtain false passports to enter Russia and volunteered to accompany the Prince in order to show that there was no treachery intended. Croes- ing the Polish-Russian frontier the pair finally reached Kursk, where, in due course, Prince Dolgorukoff found the family treasure untouched. He divided the treasure with his guide, as arranged. A few hours later the Prince was arrested, his guide turning out to be a trusted Cheka agent, who had been sent from Moscow to lure him into Russia, The treasure of the Dolgorukoff family has been confiscated, and the Cheka agent who betrayed the Prince, and whose name has not been disclosed; has been pro- moted.
