For many years past the Metropolitan Police have received complaints from all parts of the United Kingdom concerning what is known as the " Cigarette, Cement, and Marking Ink Fraud." The swindlers travel the United Kingdom, call upon small shopkeepers, of almost every trade, and, introducing themselves as travellers, partners, or heads of the firm, induce the victim to become an agent for the sale of " The Stramonium Cigarette," " The Bronchial Cigarette," " The Herbal Cigarette," " The Eucalyptus Cigarette," " The Jubilee Marking Ink," " The Whitby Jet Marking Ink," " The Cosmo- politan or Crown Cement,'" & c. Among the inducements held out are the following:— ( I) The tradesman to be appointed sole District Agent. ( II) To be supplied with an Automatic Supply Machine or Glass show case. ( III) To have his name, & c., as Local Agent, printed on paper bags and advertised in the Local Press ( IV) To receive a salary as District Agent in addition to his profits on sales. ( V) To have his money refunded for goods not sold within a given period ( 6 weeks often mentioned). Upon effecting a sale the swindler produces some printed bills, and in giving a receipt, generally allows the first quarter's salary as a discount. He then sometimes arranges that the goods are not to be put on sale till the arrival of the show card, show case, or automatic machine, whichever has been promised. The following names have been given by the " travellers" when interviewing their victims:— H. Perry C. J. Rose, S. Wilson, A. Smith, W. R. Snell, B. W. Myers. D. Myers, J. De Costa, Jonas Ellis, W. Collings, M. Morris, J. Hunter, D. Stephens, J. Henry, alias Hunnett, J. W. Graham, E. P. (" order, W. Bull, John Barnett, M. Adam, H. Barker, J. H. Guthrie, M. Roberts, J. Benjamin, Dunlop, J. Butt, T. W. Collins, < fcc. The addresses given are mostly in the East End of London, and it has been ascertained that, in some in- stances, an unfurnished room has been engaged in order that letters may be addressed to the house, and arrangements have been made for the letters to be forwarded upon receipt of an address to which they can be re- directed ; but no furniture or other property of the swindlers is ever left at these accommodation addresses, Sometimes the name and address of a supposed firm is given in London, e. g., E. Ware & Co., 38 Beaumont Street; Rose Isaacs, 6 Beaumont Street; Collins & Sons, East Dulwich; Stramonium Company, 3a Shandy Street; M Adams, 3a Shandy Street; but inquiry has proved that no such firms exist. Two addresses in St. Peter's Road or Cephas Street, Mile End, have been used, but the occupiers, although engaged in the manufacture of stramonium or Eucalyptus cigarettes, disclaim any connection with the swindlers, and state that they have no travellers. Notices concerning these frauds have appeared at intervals in the POLICE GAZETTE, viz.:— Case No. 15, 15th August, 1884 ; No. 94, 17th October, 1884; No. 108, 14th November, 1884; No. 51, 4th June, 1886 ; No. 5, 7th July, 1899; Special Notice, 8th December. 1893; Case No. 54.28th May, 1897; No. 4, 4th February, 1898; and Special Notice, 25th January, 1901, & c. Several successful prosecutions have taken place in different parts of the United Kingdom. In view of the widespread extent of the operations of this fraud Police may wish to give publicity to this warning through the columns of the various local newspapers. Case No. 53, POLICE GAZETTE, 21st August, 1908, gives description of Man wanted for this class of offence. It may be added that several notices have also appeared in Truth. The Metropolitan Police can take no action unless process is first obtained. The above Special Notice is reprinted in consequence of the continued activity of the swindlers and the frequent com- plaints received from all parts of the United Kingdom. Police are urged to take such steps as are possible to make the nature and methods of the fraud known, and to warn the Public against it, as suggested in the notice. Complaints do not generally reach Police till after the disappearance of the swindlers, thus making it more necessary that the Public should be put well on their guard. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
