His chief actor is Dr. William Jardine, a Scotch physician who went out East! around 1800 as a company doctor for the old East India Co. i Dr. Jardine first dabbled in * the opium trade as the agent for| a Bombay Parsee merchant.

Everyone Urged To Join in Hunt

LONDON, Dec. 26 (UP)—Scot{land Yard alerted police throughout Britain tonight and clamped |a tight security blackout on their {search for the historic Stone of Scone, which was ripped out of {the Coronation Chair in West{minster Abbey before dawn yes|terday. | Yard officials appealed to every person living in the British Isles for any information which would {lead to the whereabouts of the |“stone of destiny” on which Eng{lish monarchs have been crowned for 600 years.

| Police officials snapped a flat |

“no comment” to any questions lon details of the search which {was underway in England and |Scotland. | Check Motorists Patrol cars cruised the main highways leading north from ‘London. Police squads were making a thorough check of automibiles in their search for a man and woman with Scottish accents who were seen parked in front of the Abbey shortly before the stone was missed from the Poet's Corner at 6 a. m. yesterday. Cars were stopped and drivers questioned in the Scottish border area. It was suspected Scottish nationalists were trying to take the relic to Scotland, from whence it was taken in 1207, Search details were radioed to Scotland Yard in special codes, to prevent leaks to interested persons who might listen to conversations on ordinary police channels.
