HIT BY WISE FRAUDS
Travellers in Orient Are Victims
of SWind crs.
Favorite Means of Livelihood Annonn
Minor Officials-Also Practice
Money and Ticket Frauds.

Constantinople. = Swindling travel
ers in connection with passport vises
mas become one of the favorite means
of livelihood of minor officials in the
Orient and Balkan countries.
Mrs. j. Il. X. Polly, wife of an
American business man living in Lon
don. recently was a victim of this
fraud while travelling on the Orient
express, running from here to Paris.
When the train was passing from Bull
garia into Serbia an official in uniform
representing himself as a Serb inspec-
tor, demanded to see her passports,
informed her that the wise obtained
at the Serb legation in Constantinople
was invalid and ordered her to leave
the train. After protestations, he con-
scented to accept $50 to let her con
tinue her journey. She had already
paid $50 for vises of her passport.
Before leaving Constantinople many
travellers are obliged to give large
sums to get vises which later may be
declared invalid in this manner.
Since refugees from Russia are not
wanted in other countries. where they
may become public charges, few pass
ports are granted them officially, bur
they are furnished with proper papers
for sums ranging from $50 to 500. As
these refugees are poor, they are often
obliged TO spend all but their travel
ing expenses for vises.
Another form of swindle results
from the general European laws
against taking large sums of silver.
gold or paper money of a given coun-
try into another:
To prevent such traffic governments
place officials at frontiers, who de
mand of each traveller the sum of for
elgn cash on his person. If he declares
anything above the equivalent of so.
or some such modest sum. 1t is taken
and a receipt given which he may cash
in money of the country on leaving it.
Sometimes the inspector merely peck
cts the money, or will take "A bribe to
let the traveller proceed with all his
cash.
Americans OF experience nave
adopted the plan of carrying only
checks or drafts and thus avoid this
annoyance.
The Oldest form of travel swindle
takes the form of trains stopping due
to lack of coal. Then the train crew
plays cards until the passengers take
up a collection with which TO buy coal.
This swindle has been improved upon.
An official takes up tickets and then "A
second official, who %denOunces the first
one as a fraud, makes the passengers
pay a second time.

A BUSY ESS

Being in the newspaper business
means being busy. The work is never
over within a newspaper office. The
news is never all in, the type is never
all distributed, the mail is never all
delivered before new news has to be
handled, new types have to be set,
new mails dispatched. When a per-
son has a job in a newspaper office he
need V be unemployed. He can
work his silly self to death if he half
wants to-. Moreover, the number of
people employed in a newspaper Of
fee, great or small, is limited only by
the earning capacity of the establish
ment. There is so much for every
body to do hat whenever a little prof.
it appears or the balance sheet new
names appear on the pay roll. This
is as true of the New York Apogee as
of the Hickory Hill Herald. Being in
the newspaper business means to won.
der II the army of the unemployed Is
as miserable a place as it is represents
ed to be. Not to have something to
do that must be done on schedule
time does not seem TO a newspaper
man a condition of extreme irk. -
