IMMIGRANTS VICTIMISED
UNLICENSED SAVINGS BANK. PROMOTERS DISAPPEAR. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 4.5 p.m.) NEW YORK. March 9. Four brothers who conducted a steamship ticket agency, taking deposits from their Italian co-nationalists, although without a State license to operate a savings bank collected sums believed to total 2,000,000 dollars, and disappeared to-day. Two thousand immigrants stormed the institution, but their efforts to find the brothers proved futile. Four days ago the agency was closed, and this excited the suspicion of depositors, who started to search for the men, only to find they li-ad disappeared with their families.
