THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
Chiefs of Police May Adopt the New
Method.

Pittsburg, May 1.-THE fourth an
nual convention of the National Asso-
citation of Chiefs of Police of the United
States and Canada opened at 10 o'clock
this morning with about 200 delegates,
representing nearly every large city
in the country.
The election Of officers for the en-
suing year is as follows: President, j.
T. Jannsen. Milwaukee; vice president.
Colonel w G. Moore, Washington;
secretary, Harry c. Carr.
Milwaukee was chosen as the place
for holding the next annual convention
and the date fixed was the first Tues
day in June. The question of adopting
the Bertillon system for the detection
of criminals was brought up. The OBJ
ject is to establish a national bureau
of Identification. The report was pre-
scented by Jacob Frey OF Baltimore,
Md. He was of the opinion that the
bureau could be kept in operation for
81, 900. He proposed to divide the diff
ferent departments into three classes.
The first class is to be assessed 500 per
annum, second class SIS and third class
$50. The assessments had already been
agreed TO by Buffalo. Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Washington. Gin
cinnati, New Orleans. Pinkerton's de-
tective agency, Baltimore, Charlotte,
Indianapolis, Little Rock, Los Angeles,
Portland. Me-, and Atlanta Ga. The
assessments aggregated $1,000 This was
$500 less than the amount deemed
necessary to establish the bureau.

IN TURBULENT HONDURAS.
Rumored That the American Consul
Has Been Shot.

Chicago, May IA special to the
Chronicle from New Orleans says: The
steamer Rover, plying between this
port and the ports of Spanish Hondu-
ras, was fired on by Nicaraguan man
of-war on May while four miles from
Port Cortez and narrowly escaped being
hit amidships. The Rover, " hich came
in tonight, also brought the informa-
ton that it was rumored in Omaoa and
other government points that the
American consul at Port Cortez, Mr..
Alger, had been shot, but no particu-
lars had l,een obtained. The fact that
his flags were not flying when the Ro-
yer left the port is taken as an hndica-
ton that this is really so,and that pos
sibly Port Cortez has passed into the
hands of the government, although it
is also said that the revolutionists at
that place are principally Americans
and Englishmen, well armed and vastly
superior to the force of the Honduran
government

HOW DEBS VIEWS Ii.
LABOR LEADERS OPINION ON
PRESIDENT BoYcE'S ADDRESS.
Is in Accord With Its Sentiments
and Says It Is in Harmony With
the Constitution of the United
States.

Eugene V. Debs was seen at his room
in the Grand Pacific hotel Yesterday
afternoon, and asked for an expression
on President Boyce's infammatory ad-
dress, counseling workingment to arm
themselves.
i am heartily in accord with Boyce's
sentiments said the railway strike
leader. THE speech has no special sig
nificance- The constitution says people
may bear arms, so there is nothing I'M
lawful about it. We see inoculated in
every limb of the social makeup this
idea of bearing arms. Every univer-
slty and college has its military organ
izations in some form. Even Sunday
schools resort TO military drills. So 1
repeat that everywhere and all about
us is being fostered the tendency to-
ward militarism. Why should not the
worhngmen have their organizations,
their rifle clubs?
Experience has taught us lately that
on every occasion when force of arms
has been Invoked it has been TO sup
press labor. When appeals to arms
have been made to the authorities it
has been at the behests of CORPORATE
capital and always for the one purpose
of overcoming the workingmen. If no
provocation exists. then it is a rank
injustice.
Corporations do not hesitate to in
stigate lawlessness fer the purpose of
calling out the militia. Recalling the
Cripple Greek strikes, we remember
that 100 deputies were called out to
shoot down the miners without provo
cation, and the governor of the state
took cogniZance of this fact and at
once ordered out the militia to suppress
the deputies. Who suffered? Not the
deputies, but the poor workingmen.
You must bear in mind labor has
practically no rights when compared
with capital The latter controls every
thing. Why should not the working
classes improve their condition in
every way?
Il see nothing in Mr.. Boyce's attitude
or in that of the organization he rep
resents in the event Of his recommend
aticas being carried out, that is not in
perfect harmony With the constitution
of our countrz. These men are all
American citizens. animated by pa
triotic motives, and in taking this DO
sition the purpose IS not TO resist law
full authority, but to maintain it
