swrNpLfNo GANG RUN DOWN.
They Robbed Large City Merchants Of
ManY Thousands of DoIlara.

Many Thousands of Dollars.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Dec BY the arrest
Of Charles Rubinsky yesterday the fed
eral authorities say they have broken up
n daring gang of swindlers, who, during
the past five years have obtained goods
valued at many thousands of dollars from
merchants of New York, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia and other cities, The ring
leaders Of the gang are said TO have been
three brothers. Harry, Abraham and
Charles Yarowsky
The gang operated through stores estab-
lished under assumed names in small
towns A good credit would be worked
up by buying small lots of goods for cash
and then, on the strength of the cash
credit, other stores were established. The
supposed proprietors secured good com
mercial ratings, and thus obtained large
quantities of goods on time. These goods
would be ordered sent to certain stores,
but upon their arrival the swindlers
moved them elsewhere and disposed of
them at leisure. Among the places thus
established were the following in this
state CatWwissa. under the name of Con-
rad Herring; Lykens, Bernard Wilson
Berwick, Harry Miller; Bloomsbury, John
H. Schmidt; Nanticoke, Charles sherman
Danville, Bernard Wagner, and Shenan-
doah, Rubinsky & Friedman and Yarow.
sky Brothers
Harry and Charles Yarowsky have also
been arrested. Abe Yarowslky and Joe
Alpert, another alleged member of the
gang, are fugitives from justice, and are
said to be in Africa.
In tracing the gang the officers hunted
through much of the mountainous coun-
try of central Pennsylvania, and the story
of their adventures reads like a romance
