sidered TO be. in police parlance. "a good

This ,"good man. has become very nu-
merous; no one department can keep
track OF him; II requires the combined
efforts OF them all, and this can best be
accomplishedthrough central Office.
The Central Office for the use OF this
system is located In Chicago and Chief
Howard is making a big effort TO make
Richmond a branch Of the Central Office.
CHEF HOWARD WANTS IT.
In speaking of the system Chief How
ard says:
1 heartily approve Of the Bertillon
System Of Identification Of Criminals and
think that every city ought 70 have It
IA operation. City's connected with the
bureau OF headquarters at Chicago. would
be notified OF any gang Of crooks leaving
any of the large cities. Should they be
coming through our city we would be
notified Of the fact. through headquarters
and the class Of crooks. whether safe
blowers, pickpockets second story
thieves. or whatever class they belonged
10.
With all the police departments in the
country connected with the bureau It
would have the tendency 90 lessen crime.
In a short time crooks would know that
their chance for getting away would be-
come less and less, and through fear OF
getting caught would give up the life Of
crime and look FOR honest means for
livelihood.
A person once measured up by the Ber-
tillion System there can be no mistake
in identifying him. Say he is measured
at twenty-five years Of age. his weight
l30 pounds and fifteen years after he
should be arrested and at the time Of
second arrest he had gained IN flesh say
10 200 pounds, his measurement would be
the same though his general appearance
had changed and he was sailing under
another name. When tried up and com
pared with the former measurement 1t
would show he was the same man. You
may measure one thousand men and you
will find that no two are eactly alike.
Too much cannot be said IN favor Of the
system.

THE BERTILL0N
SYSTEM WANTED.
Chief Howard is Anxious to Secure
That Method.
CRIMINALS MAY Be IDENTIFIED.
The System OF Identification is in Oper-
alton in All Prominent Cities Of the
World and is the Most Perfect
I'm Existence.

The subject OF Identification OF orlmi-
mails IS at the present time agitatIng the
minds Of the leading figures in the great
world OF Detectives and Police. and all
sorts OF methods have been considered
that may tend 10 discover crime and lead
10 the Identification and capture of Grim
inas.
Perhaps the most popular method OF
measurement and Identification now in
vogue IS that system known as the Ber-
tillon system Of Identification. originated
by Alphonse Bcrtillon. Chief of the judi
cial Identification Service of France.
This system IS used in all the large
cities OF the United States and other
countries and IS declared by all those I'm
position 10 know, to be the most com
plete.
A very considerable portion of the
crimes which disturb TIE order Of human
society result either directly or indirectly

Senator White asked Morgan why the
islands were not annexed in 1913, and
how it was that the proposal for an
nexation had to wait until the islands
were in the possession of the land grab
ber-s, Who We're trying to further their
personal fortunes
Senator Morgan said that If attention
had been given to his remarks on the
subject of annexation in 1S43 Senators
would have understood what interven-
ed. The history of that time was in
the documentary evidence, which had
been printed and discussed often before.
He believed that the islands should
have been annexed at that time, and
believed that they should be annexed
now, and the reasons which existed
then for annexation had multiplied a
hundred times. What former authori-
ties had refused to do was no excuse
why the United States should refuse
now, Is it was evident that annexa-
ton was best, both for the people of
the islands and for this country.
