ing Revenue stamps for Tickets.
Joseph Congolas. a sixteen-year-old
errand boy, who lives with his parents at
zT5 Elizabeth street. wa arrested yester-
day at the Blocker street subway station
for substituting a green colored tobacco
revenue stamp for a subway ticket. He was
arraigned before Magistrate Cornell in the
Tombs police court. 1t was brought out
that Congolas had been on an GRAND for
his employers. who had giveh him two
subway tickets. When Magistrate Cornell
had heard the facts he said:
Well, this Is a new one on me. Is 1t
prevalent
1T is so prevalent said Detective Fallon,
who arrested the boy, that 1t has become
a costly nuisance. The Interborough COM
pany has been compelled to put a special
detective in every downtown station to
catch these boys"
The boy first told the Court that he had
had the ticket and revenue stamp in the
same pocket and had made n mistake in his
haste to catch a train. Later, however. he
admitted that he had substituted revenue
stamps for tickets before. Then he repeated
his original story. Magistrate Cornell said:
-Iu fine you $40 for lying"
Congolas could not pay The fine. He was
sent to the Tombs. The. detective who
arrested him said that boys employed in
downtown Offices had been swindlin0 the
company for some time by holding a sub
way ticket before the ticket taker n then
dropping the revenue stamp in the box.

Italians who nave been committing robber-

since last Friday the gang has made a
woods near Copper Hill it's rendezvous.
Several persons were held up on the country
roads and NOR than one farmhouse was
robbed.
Last night the men attempted 10 rob the
boarding house at Copper Hill, where the
Italians who are building the stone road
from Pennington TO Ringoes live. They
were beaten off. This morning when the
Italians learned that the robbers had made
plans to waylay Paymaster c. +. Reed OF
Trenton when he arrived with their wages
they were uncontrollably angry. The plan
had miscarried because one Of the men had
attempted TO get a foreman TO come in on
the holdup.
The local authorities we're determined
10 capture the d~esperadoes. and learning
that they were hidden in a woods near
Ringoes they organized a posse which later
was Augmented by recruits from Lambert
vile and Rngoes. and set out.
This morning before the hunters rrive
the members Of the gang held up a vehicle
containing Mrs. Henry Holcombe Of Ringoes,
Mrs. A. Hunt Of Pennington and Fred

horse. three pointed shotguns at the per-
sons in the vehicle and a ourth demanded

horse and dashed down the road.

When the posse cam upon them they were
lying face downward on their s~hotguns. and
seeing the large crowd they gave up with
out resistance. When they were locked
up in the Jail here the authorities had a hard
time preventing the Italian workmen from
doing violence.

Lord s~trathcona Said to he Coming over

OTTAWA. July 22.-Lord Strsthcona.
Canadian High Commissioner. will sail
from Liverpool for New York on Saturday,
and it is believed that he Is going there
and also coming to Montreal concerning
the proposed All Red steamship route
around the world.
In London and Ottawa political circles it
is alleged hat the three members of the
British Ministry who are throwing odd
water on Laurier's and Lord Strathcona's
proposition are John Burns, Walter Runci-
man and Lewis Harcourt. They contend
that the proposed route is subject to fogs,
icebergs and other dangers. making a
twenty-five knot service an impossibility.
II is surmised that one special object Of
Lord Strathcona's visit is TO deal with the
attitude Of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company. which seems TO fear that the pro-
posed independent syndicate for the new
Atlantic service with ord Strathcona and
Mr.. Sifton az its head might rob the new
Empress liners and the Allan turbiners OF
