mail order business in counterfeit
street car tickets was uncovered in a
series Of raids in WoodlaWn by a
federal secret service agent and oper-
atives from the Pinkerton National De-
tecttve agency.
Three arrests We're made. Plates
from which the tickets were printed
and over $150,000 worth of the coun-
terfeit tickets were seized. Evidence
upon which twenty street car conduct
ors will be arrested was obtained.
Those in custody are: John E. Farris,
yard foreman employed by the I'LL
nois Central railroad at Burnside; Will
liam E. Farris, conductor on the I'LL
nois Central railroad; j. C. Hart, q
printer.
The prisoners printed and sold
through the mail tickets of the Cleve-
land Railway company, of the Indian
apolis Traction & Terminal company
and Of the Columbus Railway & Light
company.
About $4,000 worth of bogus tickets
of the Cleveland company and 100000
worth of tickets Of the Indianapolis
company were found: A smaller num-
Der Of tickets Of the Columbus com.
pany were on hand, but several plates
for them indicated it was the intention
OF the counterfeiters to print them in
larger numbers.
Cleveland Company Main Loser.
According to H. J. Crawford. attor-
ney for the Cleveland Railway COM
pany, his company is the chief victim.
Strips Of tickets to retail at Is cents
each were being sold to conductors
through an intermediary at the rate of
8 cents 2 strip. Thus the conductor
was given an opportunity to profit by
the transaction. s.'.-
The tickets were so near perfect
that it is hard to tell them from the
genuine tickets issued by the street
car companies. Attorney Crawford as
serts it Is impossible to say how many
bogus cards are in circulation.
Investigation was begun in Cleve.
land three years ago, but no evidence
on which an arrest could be made was
discovered until about six months ago.
Then a conductor was seen opening an
envelope containing fifty strips of tick
cts. He was taken in custody and
questioned. From him the detectives
learned the tickets were being sold by
a man at Akron, Ohio.
After another long Investigation L.
P. Ries of Akron and his son. Ray
mond, were arrested. A complete
printing plant and number of plates
were found in his place. The Farris
brothers and Hart were connected with
the enterprise through a statement
made by Ries.
Most Of the plates were found in
Harris shop. Hart said he had taken
the work from the Farris brothers be-
lieving that it was bona fide contract
and that he had had the plates made
by the Barnes-Cros1y company.
The prisoners were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Foote.
Bonds for the Farris brothers were
fixed at $4,000 each and for Hart at
$4,000.
