NEW TERROR FOR CRIMINALS.
Eight States to Have Duplicate Ber-
tiIIon Cards.

ALBANY, y. Y, Sept. 29.-Cornelius V
Collins. the Superintendent of Prisons of
this State. has just taken a step which will
excite alarm in the minds Of every member
of the criminal classes, having Transformed
his Office into the central branch of the
Bertilion system OF Identifying criminals
for every State in the Union which has
ador led that system. Superintendent Col
lins has noticed for some time that the
number of old criminals seemed to be df-
minishing in this State, while the number
of new termers" seemed to be increasing,
and after some enquiry came 70 the opinion
that veteran criminals were getting out
of this State from a fear of the Bertillon
system. but that their places were being
taken by criminals from other States which
had also established the BertilI0n system.
There being no exchange of cards, of
course the prison authorities o. the yari-
Gus States were thus classifying as first
termers" many old criminals
The superintendent thought that an end
should be put 10 this escape of criminals
from Identification, and therefore at the
recent meeting of the superintendent OF
the various State prisons at Cleveland he
offered TO make the New York Office the
centre clearing house" OF the Bertillon
offices. This offer was accepted. In lieu
of the United States Government assuming 2
the task, as it should do, the State of New
York Will do the work. There are now
50, ,032 cards giving the measurements of
as many criminals on file in the office of
the superintendent of prisons here The
States which viii in future send cards to
Albany are Indiana. Pennsylvania, Wis
consin, South Dakota. Connecticut Mimi
esota. and Massachusetts. If for instance
man is convicted in Indiana and sent to
its State prison, his measurements and his
portrait viii be sent to Albany and there
an attempt will be made to learn from the
cards on file If he has heretofore been i'm
prisoned in any of the States composing
the BeTtilIon union. The Indiana authori-
ties, of course, will be Immediately inform
ed if the man whose card has been sent IS
an old criminal.
Mr.. Collins says that his BertilIon Bu-
reau is at the service of any State in the
Union, or of the police authorities in Eu-
rope. An enquiry came this week from
the police of Vienna.
Another recent improvement in the Ber-
tiIIon system here has been the establish
rlent of a uniform system Of Photograph
ing criminals. The photographs have diff
fered in size owing to there not being an
understood uniform system. That error
now has been remedied.

a COLLEGE, Club.
From the Denver Times. J


There is club in northen college, -

who is visiting here, "a prerequisite TO
becoming a member Of which oompels the
candidate to resign himself absolutely 10
the viii of another for a week. During
that period of time he may not speak 70
other people without permission OF his
guardian, and during his weeks probation
he must do any and all things that his
temporary keeper may order. Amusing
incidents by the score have been the re-
suit of this method Of procedure. i young
chap from a Western city landed at the
college with a couple of servants in liv-
cry, for he was very rich His fellow
students regarded him with open suspi-
cion, for they looked upon the presence
of those servants as side Of the worst de-
seription.
The Westerner, however, in spite Of his
horses and men, was a very good chap,
and this fact being discovered IN due
course OF time, he was elected a member
of the club. He knew nothing OF the eiec-
ton until he received notice, and upon It's
heels followed the inevitable weeks pro-
baton His sister and number OF her
girl friends had arranged to put in week

communicate with no one, he was unable
to write and ask his sister TO delay her
coming Then his mentor discovered how
the land lay and made his plans according
| " The visiting party was met at the

pare. Number reported killed probably in
excess of accurate figures; number re-
ported wounded probably much less, as
Filipinos managed to remove most of their
wounded from field. and comparatively
few fell into our hands. Officers of high
rank and dangerous and suspicious men
have been retained as prisoners; most

grabbing schemes in the interest of
capitalists, and propose blacklisting
congressman who favor them.
Of the several bills before congress
one is to cede to the several states all
of the public domain in each state.
Intending settlers oppose this. on the
alleged grounds that the syndicates
could the better secure control of the
domain through local politics, and by
influencing the state officials. Why
they should presume that all state
officials could be corrupted is not
clear. Texas is an illustration of a
state which controls its own public
lands, and is cited as an example why
the lands could be better controlled
in the interest of settlers than under
the present system. Texas is the only
state in the union, by the way. which
did not cede its public land to the gen.
eral government, as a price for state
hood. The Texas system seems to
work well, argue those who favor ced-
ing government lands to the states
The states would be enriched by n
large revenue from the sale of the
lands, and thus relieve the general
land Office of great deal of work.
Another scheme is for the general
government TO lease the lands by
means of an appointed commission in
each state and territory, at from one
to three cents an acre, for a period
of from 20 to 80 years. This would
it is claimed, place the land under the
control of the large syndicates, as
ranchers would not care for large
tracts. Still another project is to per-
NIT the states to control the lands
by system of taxation, thus bring
ing in revenue. 1t is argued that
the lands are unproductive, and bur-
den upon the government. This tax
alton, on the other hand, would nat
urally force the lands upon the mar
ket to be sold for taxes, and the large
tracts would consequently be sold for
a song. the syndicate purchaser pitch
ing the tune.
Thus it will be seen there are sew
eral sides to the public land question.
and our congressman are now called
upon to solve the problem to the best

land grabbers, but it is not likely that
his talk will be effective against the
marauding syndicates.
There are number of these syndi-
Gates throughout the west, which are
acquiring immense tracts of land, not
only to the detriment of the Indian
and the white settler, but to the tax
payers and the general government.
Most of these are English, with Eng
lish representatives. They do not pay
taxes. neither do they buy the lands,
as the government lands are free to
all for grazing purposes and mining
prospecting. They occupy immense
tracts of lands, and at the same time
send out experts to prospect for gold.
These desert lands generally are good
placer mining sections, and when gold
is found the syndicates locate the land
as grazing lands, thus acquiring 100
times the territory they could under
the law regulating mining locations.
Their mining experts are constantly
prospecting for gold on these lands,
hence the miners have also just
cause for complaint. This abuse is
about as great as the other, and in
both cases-the grabbing of agricul-
tural or mining lands-the govern
ment and the public are alike
swindled; and mining development
and the settlement of the country are
retarded. j. M. SCANLAND.

attending. Abraham Fischer, when
questioned concerning the published
reports that Boer women were fight
ing in the trenches, said:
THE women of our country offered to
share the hardships of the men, fight
with them. and If need be die with them
for the Fatherland. But the men would
not allow 1t. They are willing to die for
liberty, but would not permit their wives,
daughters, sisters and mothers to fight
in the trenches. OF course, there are
women who have volunteered for hos
pital service, but the reports that our
women are using the rifle in the trenches
is not true"
