FAMOUS DETECTIVE TO SPEAK FRIDAY EVENING

Mr. William J. Burns, world-famous detective and chief of the United States Secret Service, will give an informal talk on Friday evening in the Living Room of the Union on his experiences. The lecture will be open only to members of the Union.

Mr. Burns was appointed chief of the Secret Service on August 23, 1921. Before that time he served as president of the William J. Burns Detective Agency, and has had 22 years in the Secret Service, making a brilliant record, and conducting many of the most important discoveries of counterfeiters and forgers of recent years.

The Burns Agency is a highly complex organization, including about 50 branches, the New York office alone employing 2,000 people. Mr. Burns has so systematized the organization that it is not the detective but the system that gets the criminal.
