Under the name of "Captain Sazarac," and disguised, Jean Lafltte, former freebooter of Barataria, proscribed, returns to the city of New Orleans. He is recognized by two of his old companions, Alderman Dominique and Beluche. At the gamlag tables Sazarac has won much money from. Colonel Carr, British officer. John Jarvis, the citys .first bohemian of the arts and letters, an oldtime friend of tells of a womans face and smile. As his last wager, Carr puts up a woman, presumably a slave. Custom compels Sazarac to accept the stake. He ' wins. ' His old associates and Count Raoul de Almonaster accost him as Lafltte. A project of tlie youthful adventurers of New Orleans Is the rescue of Napoleon Bonaparte from St Helena, and a ship, the Seraphlne, has been made ready. From De Almonaster Sazarac learns that the girl he "won'' at the card table Is white, of high estate, and that the matter has been made a byword In the citys resorts.

Jarvis is a witness of of Mademoiselle the kidnaping Lestron, but his story Is not given credence. De Almonaster entertains Sazarac, now admittedly Jean Lafltte, at his country house. Lafltte, accused of the abduction of Mademoiselle Lestron, is warned of the- - approach of a military party seeking to arrest him. He escapes to the Lafltte swamps of Barataria. learns that Mademoiselle Lestron has been placed on the ship Genaron, for the West Indies. Influenced by his followers of the fr.eebooting days, and by De Almonaster. chief owner of the Lafltte agrees to seize the ship and sail to the rescue of Mademoiselle Lestron. . ac Les-tro- n.

Finally, the commission reiterates a recommendation that the railroads might be encouraged to furnish, or the state or federal government might assume the duty of furnishing adequate storage elevator capacity at convenient market points, especially at Chicago, free from control or operation by any grain dealer, broker or commission house, In order to remove the artificial conditions frequently occurring there. It is also recommended such storage charges and other conditions that the grain farmer or merchant would be able to store grain in competition with by elevator merchandisers while, means of negotiable warehouse receipts obtained for such grain, the farmer would be aided In borrowing money to finance his crop. The report contains quotations from letters written by grain merchants and from statements made at public hearings, giving their opinions of the effect which speculation on the Chicago Board of Trade had upon grain prices during the period of rapidly declining prices which began In 1920.

The board finds that public expenditures are not related to the amount received from taxation, because public bodies can spend far more than their income by relying on the medium of public credit. Thus future generations will be weighed down by debts,' the proceeds of which are being used for the construction of improvements that the present generation Is enjoying and many of which will outlive their usefulness within the present generation.
