MAKE A TRADE OF BEGGARY
Parisians May Almost Be Said to
Have Cultivated II Until It Is
a Fine Art.

In many parts of the world beggary
is made a regular trade, Indeed, some
who practise it may almost be said to
have made 1t an art or a profession.
An accomplished m%endicant, like a
clever salesman, studies his custom
ers, discovers their weak points, If he
can, and trades upon them. In this re-
lation it is of interest to note the skill
full methods whereby a certain class
Of Partisan beggars play upon the su-
perstitions Of their victims.
There is a common saying In France
that giving aims brings good fortune
a saying that has not been overlooked
by the Partisan beggar. If one visits
the Sorbonne on the days Of exami-
nation for the bachelors degree he
will see an interesting sight The
collegians approach, each with his
dictionary under his arm on his way
to make the famous Latin version, on
the success Of which all his future de-
pends. A crowd OF beggars surround
them.
"A sou, monsieur, a morsel Of
bread" the beggar will say to a col
legian. 1T will bring you happiness"
The candidate hurries on. "You will
be blackmailed, monsieur" the beg
gar continues.
This sinister prediction always
takes effect; the ~collegian pulls out
his purse and the beggar turns away,
chuckling. 4
A similar scene may be witnessed
at the Hotel de Vile on the days
of examination for certificate Of abil
ity for teaching, When there are nj
examinations in progress there ma!

Of his accomplices.
Then to the third: Get away with

wrenched from the grasp OF Mr.. Tay-

You keep quiet for a spell, or I'll

He came a step neare to his vic

However, the thought Of being de-
spoiled Of over $4,000 in tangible
property added a frantic desperation
to the situation.

POLICE SCIENCE
TAUGHT In But
One UNIVERSITY
"Swiss Sherlock Holmes" Heads
Faculty at Lausanne, and an
American Is Star Student
WOULD DRIVE POLITICS
FROM POLICE FORCE
Prof. Reiss Points TO Becker
Scandal as Cure of Evil In
Question

LAUSANNE, July 1.-THE Univer-
sity Of Lausanne tSwltzerlandl has a
faculty named the scientific police
department" IL is on the same foot
imp as the classical ana scientific fac
ulties, and is the only one or its Kind
attached to any university IN the
world.
At the head Of the scientific po-
lice" is Prof. r. A. Reiss, who, by
reason of his wonderful deductlVe
work In tracing crime and criminals
has obtained Worldwide reputation
in he inner police circles OF the
worlds capitals. He is also widely
known as the Swiss Sherlock
Holmes and has often been consult
ed by the Berlin Vienna. London,
Paris, and, lately by the New YORK
police departments.
Prof. Reiss has just returned from
Brazil, where he went, al the request
OF the Brazilian government TO re-
organize the whole police system,
His right-hand man is an Ameri-
can. Parker Tucker, OF Boston, who
is rs years Oh age, and who for the
last three years has been studying
under the professor He is my clev-
crest pupil" said Prof. Reiss, and
later on viii be of immense service
TO the American police in u large
city"
Prof. Reiss is often taken-and mis-
taken for an American. Tall, thin,
clean-shayen about 40 years OF age,
he looks a typically American man,
but he has not yet mastered the Eng
fish language, although he speaks
several others.
After the Becker scandal In New
York" said Prof Reiss, Mr.. Shep'
herdson OF the bureau of municipal
research of New York, called on me
in the autumn, bringing with him the
highest introductions including sew
eral from American ambassadors In
Europe. His object was TO consult
me concerning the amelioration Of the
police system in New York and the
best methods 10 be employed In
changing the then system.
IL gave him my advice, strongly
insisting upon the fact that politics
in any form should not be allowed
to enter the police department, and
that this was so with the New York
police the Becker trial clearly
showed | also pointed out that the
police In every country-one of the
most important services-is so badly
paid that even the highest paid Off
cials are open TO brides.
Let me give you an example: A
good detective, receiving $50 a
month, with a wife and family 70
support, arrested a banker in Italy
who had decamped with nearly
100000 recently The detective was
offered $1,000 fortune to him-and
he succumbed TO the temptation and
let the man go.
Il had a long talk with Mr.. Shep-
herdson concerning the white slave
traffic in New York, which is In my
opinion, at the bottom of the ecker
scandal. In this connection England
has taken a good forward step by
adopting logging for the DULLES, and
this Is the only punishment such a
low class of man really fears"
