paper, "Shield," and markings of crayon. The representatives used the position were made with Q red these inducements for the gullible person who believed that they were to obtain the position by merely taking the course, Capt. Stevens said.
 Government offlcials have been in the city working on the case, and that when they learned that the men have virtually "guaranteed'' position to the unsuspecting vic- tims, they were arrested the detec- tive head said.
 Credentials Offered
 Neat credentials were carried by each of the men, Capt. Stevens said and they were presented to the in- tended victims when they called on them. Each credential had the pie ture of the man in the leather case, with Q motorized signature by al- legedly duly accredited persons, and the schools authorities was also used
 Investigation revealed that some of the victims were promised posi- tons if they would take the course and that the men allegedly implied that they practically dispensed the jobs which were listed in official civil service newspapers.
 Only 6 few days ago the local Chamber of Commerce issued a warning to Waterburians to be on the alert for solicitors for corre- spondence schools. Postmaster Charles A. Babin and the local civ- il service commission denied that the government had issued any per- mission for soliciting of students.
