BOGUS PASSPORTS.
EMIGRANTS SWINDLED. LONDON, Monday. The Daily Chronicle says the Italian police have arrested the leaders of a well-organised gang which has been supplying false passports, purporting to enable them to evade the authorities at Ellis Island. Enormous prices were charged the emigrants, who later were not allowed to land in America and were sent back to Naples.
Th e crews of emigrant ships have also been taking money from stowaways. of which 16 were not allowed at New York from a single vessel. While the stowaways were in hiding the crew stole all their money. The crew left the vessel at New York, so that the stowaways had no remedy. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
