PASSENGERS sWINDLED.
Four Men Arrested for Clever Trick
on italian Travellers.

A scheme for swindling outbound
stcerage passengers was discovered
yesterday on the White Star and Cum
ard piers shortly before the steamer
Carpathia and Cretic sailed for Ma
pies. Four Italians were arrested and
taken to Police Headquarters. charg-
ed with swindling their countrymen.
About fifteen Italians sailed yesterday
on the Carpathia without tickets.
They will be compelled to pay full
fare or work their passage, says the
New York Tribune.
Through the quick work of the de-
tectives the twenty-one passengers
who went aboard the Cretic were sent
ashore, thus preventing trouble after
the Cretic sailed.
According to the detectives, the
scheme was for one of the gang to
approach an Italian known to be re.
turning to Italy and tell him that he
could get SIS rate to Naples, saving
thereby SIS. The victim was instruct
ed to meet one Of the members OF the
gang on the pier. The man would hand
him valid ticket, bought by the gang.
The victim was instructed to show
the ticket to the quartermaster ON
guard at the steerage gangway.
After passing the quartermaster,
the victim was instructed to put the
ticket into n pocketbook and throw it
to the leader of the gang on the pier.
The unsuspecting steerage passen-
ger was told that, once aboard ship,
he would never be called upon to pro-
duce his ticket.
The one valid ticket, after 1t was
thrown from the deck by the first vic
tim. was handed to the second. and
SO on until the fifteen or twenty VIC
tins were passed aboard the sh!o,
