ARREST A BAD GANG
Swiss Police Capture Men
Who Have SWindIed Num-
Der of Tourists.
AMERICANS THEIR PREY.
(American News Seryice)

Geneva, Feb. 12-The police at Box
members of a gang of international
thieves including men and women
who are believed to have robbed many
wealthy British and American tourists
during the past year.
Booty to the value of nearly $1,000
600 has been recovered, including al
most every variety of jewelry, and the
Swiss authorities are anxious to hear
from all travellers who have lost val
uables while travelling by the inter
national express trains between France
Switzerland and Italy.
Among the stolen articles received
at BoXen are at least 100 pearl neck
laces, diamond pendants, brooches and
tiaras. There are many gold watches
and bracelets, some bearing initials
and other marks of identification.
The thieves Travelled continuously
between Paris, Berlin and Switzerland,
and they were SO adept that in every
instance they escaped without leaving
the slightest clue to their identity or
their address.
Their largest hauls were made in
Switzerland. Last summer they robbed
an Austrian countess OF 10000 pounds
worth of jewels. while a German baron
ess, a Russian princess and several
wealthy English and American travel
ers were also among their victims.
The police authorities at Berne
working with the police at Boxen
eventually found the headquarters OF
the gang at the latter place. A large
amount of their plumber was disposed
of before the criminals were arrested
but the authorities are anxious to find
the owners of the remainder.

At Paris the office of the steamship
company was thronged by hundreds
