Chronicle" says the.police have arrested the leaders of a well-organised gang which has been supplying false passports to Italians emigrating to America, purporting to enable "the emigrants to evade the authorities at Ellis Island. Enormous prices were charged the emigrants, who later were not allowed to land in America and were sent back to Naples. The crews of emigrant ships have also been taking money from stowaways, of which 160 were" not allowed to land at New York from a single vessel.. While the stowaways were in hiding the crew stolfe all their money. The crew left the vessel at New York, so that the stowaways had no remedy.
