Kxartly as pictured; highly polished. Limit, 6 to a cua- tomr-r. Special 3 By JAMES M. WOOD. The visit of threescore lamblike Lecoqs-in-embryo to Wall Street the ether day gave rise to much speculation In that speculative neighborhood.

They were not there to be fleeced, as lambs sometlmea are In the shadow of the sub-Treasury building, but to learn something at first hand about crooks and stocks and bonds and the patter of the World of finance; for they were' undergraduates of the college of Jnology established by Police Commissioner Enright for the expected betterment of the detective force. The college term for the aspirants for honors as detectives lasts but two months, and during that time the training is what might be honestly called "intensive." There are no class books to read, it is true, but a lot of lectures to be inwardly Brooklyn and Bay Ridge havo organized for the forthcoming campaign for the Keren Havesod or Palestine Foundation Fund under the chairmanship of Louis J.

As one ot the members of the force put it: "The men of experience and knowledge in various classes of crime are leaving the department every day.

They are retiring, mostly, and the city is losing the benefit of their knowledge. This scheme of Commissioner Enright to instruct ambitious members of the force to get into the higher planes of police work is good, for he is utilizing the specialized knowledge of some men whose work and experience would otherwise be lost to the city." The college is located on W. 37th st. and the classes run from 60 men to over 100. So far the graduations have been encouraging, although some of the most promising pupils have flunked on the examinations.

And some of the best of the pupils are the younger men, who will find places on the detective force to the disadVHnt ge of the older men In the bureau who have fallen into the rut of familiarity and who will either be sent back to post or be driven from the department on retirement on half pay.

The rookies have a lot to learn about 'Stock swindlers, men ewho sart bogus corporations and manas to exchange -worthless bonds for the securities that are more or less gilt-edged. They are taught irll about the "sucker" of Wall Street, who is always willing to exchange his paying stocks that produce normal and safe dividends, for fly-by-nlghts that pay no dividends.at all, that are utterly without value, but which are represented by the crook manipulator as good for 20, SO or even 60 percent as an investment. The detective students have been taken to some of the glided offices of collapsed concerns, "corporations" with high-sounding names, and which for a few brief breaths made a "front" with finely equipped rooms, beauteous typists who seemed always bysy, and "principals" who were easily accessible initially to the dupes, but who were invisible when final explanation? were demanded. The crooked methods ot this class have been explained to the young men. Wall Street and th-, downtown streets round about have proven of the most active interest to the students of the detective college.

But apart from Wall Street they are kept busy at their studies. One day. is set apart, for example, for a visit to Bellevue, for a chat with the doctors and explanations concerning poisons, their antidotes, their symptoms, the readiness with which they may, or may not be procured. The toxic effect, pathologically, of irritants or narcotics are explained, and when possible there is a practical demonstration with a handy cadaver, under, the skilled scalpel of some professor of the science of poisons. They are shown the effect, loo, of pistol shots and blows on the human body and they absorb, as some of their examination papers show, a great deal that is useful to detectives, and of the most practical value.

One of the most absorbing studies is that of and the lecturer Is invariably some physician who is of marked celebrity. Of course, much practical information is given to them by lecturers on special crimes and criminals.

The reg ular detectives hope to get the first shot at her. She has been calling the police "fish-peddlers" and other pS" opprobrious names, and these words have begotten official peevishness. Up to last week the school for detectives had been concerned more oAs a Home Lover You Will Like Our Club Plan With the ordinary crimes than with reat financial irregularities, but of lito there have cropped out in the -JTlfH ipT Wall fkreet district a number of rob eries mostly due to the practice cf tmportant financial institutions hiring messengers without having taken the trouble to look into thetr antecedents.

Study Wall Street Methods. So now part oi the time Is to be Kiven up to the Study of Wall Street and the people in Wall Street and the buying and selling and transferring of stocks and "puts" and "calls" and all of tbe mysteries of high finance. The Stock Exchange, worried a bit over thelosses of some of its correspondtrits and customers, lias offered to co-operato with the executive committee of the detectives school In imparting firrt-hand knowledge 1o the detective aspirants in the methods of Wall Street, and once a week there will be an invasion of the students into the sacred corral of the Bears and Bulls to look and to learn and not to be tossed by either.

They have been Instructed primarily in the careless methods of handling gilt-cdsed and money-making securities. Familiarity in handling money and valuables has, in line with the time-honored aphorism, bred much contempt for them in the minds of humble and half-paid employees of the great financial institutions. Careless Handling of Millions. The manner of handling maybe a million dollars worth of bonds or as much in certified checks or cash is incredibly careless at times, and the wonder is that thu list of great robberies Is so small In comparison with what happens to money and bonds every day in the financial district. One of the rookies encountered the other day at a bank a rugged veteran of the Navy whom he had known on shipboard.

It might be said in parentheses that many of the most trustT ed of the messengers are ex-service men or former policemen who arc employed because of their known courage or experience in responsible work. This particular grizzly old salt is a pensioner without enough of a pension to keep the wolf from the door or even on the other side of the fence and who is forced in his Jate years of life to find some way of adding to his income. "What are you doing. now. Bill?" the rookie asked.

'Carryin money for a livin'," said he. "I've got something like half a million in cash and bonds with me now." "Where's your gun?" was the next question. Doesn't Carry a Gun. "Gun!" ejaculated the veteran. "What's the good of a gun, I'd like to know? I might shoot somebody, and hurt him.

-I guess nobody "Is going to start anything with me. If anybody does he'll have to reckon with my hoofs and hands. I've been doing this sort of thing foe months now, and nothing has happened to me." He is a sturdy, gray-haired chap, a bit bald, but lithe as a youngster, with a record for pugilistic facility that usad to be known end admired all over the Navy.
