Forty Students Found on the Swiss-Italian Frontier with Cigars and Cigarettes Worth $30,000.

ROME, July 31.—The frequent walks across the Swiss-Italian frontier of girls of a seminary near Maslianco aroused the suspicions of the customs officers, who finally stopped a procession of forty, walking two by two.

It was ascertained that each girl was smuggling cigars or cigarettes of the aggregate value of $30,000.
