INTERNATIONAL GANG.
BOND FORGERY DEALINGS. LONDON, April 9. Scotland Yard has run to earth an international gang of crooks who, for a year, have Seen forging bonds which they have sold in London. The forgeries include British _ and United States Government securities and British insurance stamps valued at £40,000. Estimates of the frauds vary from £250,000 to £1,000,000. After his suspicions were aroused, a London detective flew by aeroplane to Warsaw and persuaded the Polish police to raid certain premises, where a parcel of forged securties was seized and further ramifications of the scheme disclosed. Thus far there have been 18 arrests, of which three were made in London.
