Mrs. Tyler, living in Kidorookpark
road, strangled to death without ap-
parent motive. She had no known en-
emies, and robbery apparently was not
the object of her assailant.
AS if to add to the weird features OF
this case is the fact that the police
have only one clew to the Identity OF
the murderer That clew is set oil
finger prints. The murderer. his hands
stained with the blood Of his victim,
left upon the window pane of Mrs. "
ler's house. a clear distinct impress
sion Of his thumb.
This has been photographed and very
much enlarged by the Scotland yard
police. Should they arrest the real
man but lack sufficient evidence upon
which to secure his conviction, this
thumb mark alone would, according 10
the teachings of modern science, be SUI
flcient to warrant his sentence to death,

been raised to a science In this work

NINE POSSIBLE WAYS
IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT
MAY BE ROBBED
It Is Fair to Presume That Each Of
the Methods Has
Been Worked

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Auditor
Castle of the postoffice department has
discovered Irregularities in money order
accounts which may possibly result in
loss to the government of consid-
cradle sum. About three years ago the
practice Of checking money order ac-
counts in the office of the auditor was
changed, they being audited by stubs or
coupons, and not by the orders them
selves, as had been done previously.
When Auditor Castle took charge Of
the Office he discovered defects in the
system which made it possible for dis
honest postmasters to rob the govern
ment, and ascertained there were nine
possible ways in which this could be
done. Several cases have already been
detected in which orders were issued
for as high as $40 and 800. and were re-
ported by the issuing postmaster at one
or two dollars each. How many such
frauds were perpetrated during the
three years in which the old system was
in operation can only be guessed. An
examination Of the one hundred million
orders during that time could be made,
the auditor believes, by 100 men in q
year, and If the rate of fraudulent Or
ders just discovered continues he
| thinks 1t might be well to do this. How
much the government has lost will not
| be determined unless such an examina-
| ton Is made.

Portland, the home of Neal Dow ana
many another ardent advocate of pro-
hibition. But in Portland they run to
extremes. At one time 1t is vigorous en-
forcement-that Is. continual searching
and seixing. with the result Of driving the
traffic into the slums and making the
quality Of the liquor something vile.
Then, as they are now doing. there Is al
most entire disregard of both law and
decency. Barrooms are run wide open
now, not only on weekdays, but on Sum
days. as well, and 1t Is this condition that
has prompted men who have all their
lives been strong supporters of the law
to finally admit that the law Is impotent,
that perhaps a change would be desir-
able. In Bangor the clergymen of doz-
en- churches have been holding meetings
for the special purpose of discussing the
liquor law. and they, are by no means
unanimous In Endorsement Of the pres
ent statute-Ex.
