It's a Real Shame to
Treat EN- in This Way

Genoa.-The chief Of police Of
this city has received a letter
signed 1.-THE Tramways Pick
pockets Association" complain
ing that the persons from whom
they abstract pocketbooks have
'the dishonest habit" of invar-
iably declaring to, the police
much larger financial loss than
they have really suffered.
They cite specific cases where
one man claiming to have been
robbed of $500 lire only lost 80.
and another one reporting loss
of 1900 lire when his pocketbook
contained less than 200.
The letter argues that such ex-
aggerations are likely to cause
unfortunate consequences and
strained relations among the
pickpocket fraternity, as when q
member of the association turns
in a few hundred lire when the
loser claims to have lost thou
sands, the pickpocket is suspect
ed by his colleagues Of having
retained the difference.

be more delicate" the letter
