DARING AND REMUNERATIvE WORK OF
BAND OF CROOKS.

Paris, July 30-The police here have found
a gang of turf swindlers and card sharps

against him A week later Colimacon engaged
in a similar performance at Maisons- Lafitte
The Jockey Club investigated the running of
Colimacon and found that a first class English
racehorse had been substituted for the original
Colimacon by a Belgian named Hereboudt. who
had previously been warned off the French race
courses The police then took the matter up
and discovered that Hereboudt was the head
of an organization of crooks working in France

A majority of the members of the gang had
assumed high sounding titles and frequented fast
circles and clubs One member, brother of a

Gus apartments in the Champs Elysees and
Madeleine quarters, to which they inveigled
rich youths and swindled them at baccarat
The losses of Prince Karageorgovitch and four
other young men of good families, who COM
planned to the police alone amount to $4,000
francs. The swindlers owned yacht, called
the westermine on board of which their dupes
were invited and were subsequently plucked.
The police also traced to the gang the promo

companies The Investigations of the police led
to the fight of the swindlers: Several of them
have gone to Abyssinia. Hereboudt sailed for
Holland on board the Westermine. The revela-
tions have caused sensation in clubland and
