ing recruited through the municipal
employment bureau to man speed

bureau, said the requisition was be
ing handled in the regular way and
that the men would be supplied with
out any question as to the nature of
the service they were to perform. 1t
is being treated as were previous
acquisitions for men received from
federal apartments, he added.
One. Year Service Term.
The term of the service is to be
for one year and the hours of duty
are described as irregular. This is
believed due to the fact that most of
the work of the rum chaserS will be
in the nature of swift raids on veS-
sells suspected of being rum-runners

CAUSED PANIC IN FRANCE
John Laws Mississippi Bubble Almost
5ankrupted NatIon--Dled In
Poverty

John Law, who inflated the famous
Mississippi Bubble, started on his ca
reer of crime by being sentenced to
death for murder committed during
a duel fought in England. He escaped
to Holland, where he drifted into EN-.
ployment Of the Bank of Amsterdam
a connection from which he collected
sufficient capital to finance a cam
palgn Of gambling which netted him
the enormous sum Of 100000.
Law suggested to the Duke OF Or
leans, regent for the young King
Louis XIV, the plan for the formation
of state bank with power to issue
notes and accept deposits. It was
from the success OF this that there
arose the idea for the Mississippi com
pany, an organization designed to ex-
plot the entire territory of Louisiana
Shares In the company, originally pur-
chased for $500, rose to $4,000. But,
before many months had passed, peo-

retire to Brussels.
