Genoa which States that the
chief of police has received a
letter signed The Tramways
Pickpockets' Association, COM
planning that the persons from
whom they abstract pocketbooks
have the dishonest habit OF IN
variably declaring to the ponce
a much larger financial loss than
they have really suffered.
They cite specific cases where
one man claimed to have been
robbed of $500 lire, but only
lost so. and another one report
ing a loss of 1900 lire when his
pocketbook contained less than
200.
The letter argues that such
exaggerations are likely to cause
unfortunate consequences and
strained relations among the
pickpocket fraternity as when a
member of the association turns
in a few hundred lire wher the
loser claims to have lost thou
sands, the pickpocket is suspect
ed by his colleagues Of having
retained the difference.
Alleged honest people should
be more delicate" the letter
ends.

complaints to the effect that a

bugs turn up their toes, it
caused them to grow fat and
still more active in stripping
the potato plant clean of it's
