GANGSTERS TRAPPED A DANGEROUS TRIO. FORGERY FACTORY REVEALED. (Australian Press Association.) (Received 9 a.m.) BERLIN, March 3. Of the two international gangsters arrested iby the police, and suspected of forging the notorious letters accusing Senators Borah and Norris of receiving ’£20,000 from the Soviet Government for services rendered in obtaining recognition of the Soviet by the United States, Vladimir Orloff was once one of the chiefs of the secret police in Tsarist Russia. He is now a master spy, seeking to avenge the murdered Emperor. The other, Michael Sumarakoff, was formerly an, en•voy of the Ukraine Soviet Republic. Another arrestee was Gertrude Ducmmler, a girl of bewitching beauty, who whs Orloff’s secretary. Police raiding Orloff’s country house at Schandau found a splendidly equipped chemical laboratory and an arsenal of small arms.

The Berlin correspondent of the New York newspaper ‘‘Knickerbocker” tricked Sumarakoff into loaning him the fiorgeries in sufficient time to have a photograph taken, and thus enabled the Berlin political police to arrest the gang.
