The organization had agents at Trieste, Fiume, Naples, Civitavecchia, Palmero and other ports, who aided in stowing away persons aboard £hips and falsificd passports.

The latest haul was the discovery of 21 stowaways aboard the steam- ship Carnia outward bound from Feie when the vessel put in at | M sina The firenien and cooks aboard the boats conspired to hide the emi- srants in the galleys and holds. For this the stowaways paid suins vary- ing from $850 to $1,000. The voy- ages were made under terrible con- aitions of heat and squalor. Many Ships The orzanization had planting aboard ucceeded in its contraband human cargo the steamships Columbia, Adriatic, Martha Washington, Al- berta, Lucia, Clara, Ida, Isarco, Providence and Patria. An investiga- tion is heing pwshed into the ring's amifications in all seaports. Most of the stowaways were destined for North and South America and a few for France. Prior to embarkation eclaborate provisions were made for harboring emigrants. There was a system of motor transport to speed them trom | one port to another to avoid the | vigilance of the authorities. ! The conspirators had even perfect- cd a code by which they wirelessed accomplices “aboard the ships to learn if it was safe to take on the emigrants at the next port of call.
