BODY MARKS RECORDED.
The Personal Description of Soldiers is
Filed Away.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-About four
years ago the war department began the
practice of system of personal records
of soldiers with the purpose of providing
an absolute means of Identification. Med
ical officers, by the use of figure cards,
took careful note of every indelibIe or
permanent mark on the persons of re-
cruits, and these were filed away in the
office of the surgeon general.
Last August congress passed an act to
prohibit the reinlistment of men whose
army service had not been honest and
faithful, aud immediately the data which
had been previously accumulated be-
came of great value in preventing en-
listmeuts of bad characters.
At the beginning of the present calen-
dar year some statistics were gathered
to show the workings of the system, and
it was found that in the first three
months of every thousand men enlisted
from civil life, thirty were identified
through the outline figure card records
as convicts, deserters or otherwise un-
desirable characters.
The officials of the department are
now thoroughly satisfied as to the merits
of the system and as for the privates,
they willingly pay the price of submit
ting to the examination and record in
consideration of being saved from ulti-
mate association with notorious scoun-
droIS

DENVER Isolated
Big Storm Cut Her Off From
the World.
Ragged Furiously in Colorado
and Southwest Kansas.
DIRT MIXED IN SNOW.
In Some Places it Virtually
Rained Mud.
The Storm Was Distinguished
by Dense Darkness.

kansas CRY, April 16.-A storm of
great severity passed over eastern Colo
RADIO, Kansas, o klahoma and the south
west generally yesterday and last night.
In Colorado and Kansas it is believed
considerable damage was done, but it is
impossible to learn anything from those
sections because of the fact that all tele-
graphic communication has been cut off
since 3 o'clock yesterday.
For short time last evening Denver
was reached on very shaky wire, but
after 30 minutes the wire failed. and
since that time no word has been re-
ceIved or sent into Denver over tele-
graph wires. The storm covered a wide
area northward, the Denver wires via
Omaha also being down.
Reports from Oklahoma state that a
destructive wind and sand storm passed
over southern Kansas and Oklahoma
yesterday evening, doing much damage
TO crops. A peculiar feature of the storm
was the intense darkness and the ex-
traordinary electrical display. The at
| mosphere was surcharged with electric
lty and several persons and horses were
stunned and shocked by electric shocks.
| In the western part of Oklahoma and
the Pan Handle Egyptian darkness pre-
vailed. Such peculiar storm has sell
dom been seen, and the superstitious
! thought the astronomical conditions
! which it has been claimed by South
! Carolina minister are now repeating
| themselves for the first time since the
death of Christ, had something to do
with it. The rain that fell in western
Oklahoma was actually a shower of
mud.
At 10 o'clock a. N slow wire had
been secured to Denver, but it is not sure
that it will hold good any length of time.

say this investigation shall not 60 on.
You are here as committee of investi-
cation appointed by the governor, the
lieutenant governor, and the speaker of
the house of representatives. Your only
province is to investigate. These charges
were filed with the governor of the state.
He decided that there should be an in
vestigation. You have no right to re-
verse him; no right to declare the creature
greater than the creator. You have been
commanded to investigate and you have
no alternative
"You have no right to pronounce SEN
tence on this man whether you find him
guilty by majority vote or not guilty
OF the charges preferred. You have
neither the power to continue him in
office nor the right to suspend him
from his office. The most and the
the least you can do is to hear this evil
dence, decide whether the charges ara
true or not, and report your finding and
submit the evidence to the governor.
'And if you had the power to quash
these proceedings now, would you
want it to go back to the
people of Kansas whom you repre-
sent that you considered these charges
as nothing, if they are true Would you
like to have it said that you considered
drunkenness fair example to be hung
above the university of the state where
her youth is being educated?
"If you or l were indicted on such
charge in such position the most nat
ural thing on earth for US to do would
be to attempt to quash the proceedings.
We would most likely have been doing
something If Judge Thacher was ac-
cused he would fly to an investigation"
Judge Thacher replied briefly and the
committee adjourned till 2 o'clock.
Al 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the Rog-
ers investigating committee adjourned to
meet at the bank commissioners office
again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
if At the reassembling of the committee
at 2 o'clock, G. E. Foote, counsel for the
defendant, spoke in favor of the demur
rer, and the committee retired to an in
ner room to consider it. They were gone
less than five minutes, and announced
upon their return that they unanimously
/ agreed the investigation should go on.
/ Judge Thacher is necessarily in Law
renee this afternoon, and that fact cou-
+ pied with the absence of some of the
4 plaintiffs important witnesses, made the
adjournment acceptable to all
