men, gangsters, horse PRISONERS, pineapple"
tossers, acid throwers and killers. One refine
ment has been added by the modern racketeer
Instead Of accepting fees for protection as NJ
Vidocq did, the muscle" into the business
tney protect and become part or full owners.
Capone's "Manager-Owned Stores Inc" char
tered In Chicago two years ago, bears close re-
sembance to M. Vidocqs society.
In the careers of M. Vidocq and his modern
prototypes there is one striking dissimilarity,
He went to jail for his racketeering was ban
iShed from France and ended his days in Eng
land lecturing SIMULTANEOUSLY on the futility
OF crime as a career. Today's racketeers do
very little going to Jail, but much travelling
between their own town houses and country
places, with annual trips in style to European
watering places, from which they return in
the pink Of condition and ready for pros
porous season.
Although unctuously preaching the gospel of
you-cant-win- at-crime to English audiences
who were not criminals, but had the admis-
sion price to his lectures, NJ Vidocq was a
scoundrel to the end. At various times In his
declining days he separately promised 10 cred
ulous damsels that he would bequeath to each
OF them his earthly possessions in toto But
when he had been delivered of his final breath
will came to light in whcih he disposed of
ms lareS and penates to his aged landlady
He died in London in 1857 at the age of g.
Yet this distinction Is not denied him. Out
OF his little band of versatile brigadiers grew
the great French Brigade de Surete This may
not prove that there always has been an un-
derstanding or alliance between certain police
and racketeers. Still, it is an interesting this-
torical note.
For that matter, formidable Scotland Yard
reputed to be the greatest of all detective or
CARNATIONS, owes its beginning to a similar
source.
THE Bow Street Runners were England's
first professional detectives and by the
same token they were also racketeers. They
were not ex-jaibirds like Vidocq's crew of al
ternating cops and robbers but portly monk
like little chaps in red-breasted costumes, who
hung about the famous Bow street office now
called Bow Street Court, and for the handsome
p1ttance OF guinea a day ran errands for
the busy magistrates. Out of this service and
certain illicit sideneS and the color of their
waistcoats came their sobriquet of Robin RED
Breasts. They were formidable enough in their
brilliant red, with belt lines which bristled with

innocent men and jailed them for the crimes.
His society hourished and his control of Paris
crime was complete. The revenue from his
society put him in the lists of the moderately
well to do Today he is credited throughout
the world with the distinction of having been
the worlds first professional police detective
While he may have been all of this, he COM
bined his secret police work with racketeering
on the basis now considered modern. Today
his Trade Protective Society would be classified
as simon pure" racket-the sale of protec-
ton from criminal attack
Modern replicas of his system are the hun
dreds of gang-controled organizations among
the cleaners and dyers, butter, egg and milk
dealers, contractors. taxi drivers, wet wask
laundrymen and other tradesmen. These asso-
Citations are managed by so-called "big Shots
or racketeers, and effectively manned by gun.

If the fee was not paid, violence was visited
lpon the non-members OF M Vidocqs protective
organization. Those who paid enjoyed COM
plete protection against brigandage and assault.
What happened behind the scenes of course
was this: M. Vidocq gave to his brigadiers q

tain this minimum he was to go back to the
gaileys for life
That was the arrangement that was worrying
him. He had cleaned Paris of its cut-throatS
and thieves and there was no work left for him
by which he might produce the minimum num-
Der of offenders and avoid the rotting galleys.
He had about him 20 assistants-thieves and
murderers with whom he had served in the
forts and galleys. He called them police agents
They had to be kept busy or he went back
to the hulks. They had also to be kept busy
or as so frequently happens among banded cut
Threats, they might turn against him
Presently black letters appeared on the door
of M. Vidocqs office spelling the words, Trade

that. His 20 brigadiers were always busy They
caught a margin well beyond the minimum
number of thieves required to keep him out of

pilage, bodily injury and threats of extinction.
The milk, butter and egg vendors complained
to the police of depredations. Foul smelling
liquids were thrown upon their wares, acid was
poured upon their goods, sabots tossed
into their machinery and the Threats of their
work animals were cut
The regular police forwarded these COM
plants to M. Vidocq. He dispatched his
brfgadiers, called the "surete," to catch
the thieves and miscreants. Invariably they
brought back men who they said were the
trouble makers-and these were sent to prison.
But thievery and sabotage continued.

whispered into the ears of tradesmen that

Arranging and directing the exposi-

Revere, is as historical and colonially
reminiscent as the antiques which he is
assembling in Washington.
Unlike his distant relative of Revo-

ton, Mr.. Revere has come from way
down East in Maine" An authority on
Colonial antiques. Mr. Revere has ac-
quired his knowledge through personal
experience
"A few years ago" he said. Il bought
an old house in Maine. My household
furniture didn't fit into the old house,
so 1 started to furnish it with old pieces
which l picked up in New England I
gradually had the house completely
furnished with antique furniture"
Spool beds, which in recent years
have become greatly sought by amateur
collectors of Colonial antiques, are not
considered really valuable as antiques,
said Mr.. Revere
Spool beds are only rare" he ex-
planned. when there are two exactly
alike. 1t Is difficult to find two of the
same pattern and proportions. and when
two are found 1t is becoming increas-
ingly popular to have them cut down
and modernized into twin beds"

been exposed to the weather for years.
