London, July 18—The British Empire show at Wembley offers a tempting target for the jewel thief if only he could succeed in “cracking” the outer shell. Up to now he has made no attempt to pull off a coup at the exhibition, probably due to the fact that the place is thoroughly guarded. A rough estimate of the value of the exhibits is $60,000,000, one jewelry consignment alone being valued at $5,000,000. Most of the firms exhibiting precious metals and gems have their own detectives patroling the exhibition pavilions by day and their own watchmen by night. The huge Palaces of Industry and Engineering are patroled at night by policemen and watchmen provided by the exhibition organizers. Jewelers, dealers and producers in precious gems and metals have some very valuable displays on view in the various pavilions. Every precaution is taken against their theft. On the advice of the insurance company one single stone diamond exhibit valued at $200,000 was withdrawn from public display by the jewelry firm owning it. A show case of precious stones, including, pearls, containing gems worth $150,000 is being displayed by the firm, however. In the Ceylon pavilion there is a pearl necklace valued at $200,000 on display. N. D. H. Abdul Caffoor of Colombo, brought to the exhibition some $5,000,000 worth of gems and he is reported to be doing considerable business with them, He has made several trips to Buckingham Palace with some of this jewelry stock in which the queen is said to be much interested. In the Burma Temple are some magnificent rubies of considerable value. Although they are in glass enclosed cabinets quite close to the entrance of the Temple they are under continual observation by plain clothes men who mingle with the visitors inside the building.
