DfstressinR Accident at the Home OF
BROOKLYN Family.

NEW YORK. October 10.-Wm. Joyce
and his wife, who had been married seven
months, were asphyxiated during the night
at the home of Mrs. Joyce's parents In
Brooklyn. Joseph Duff, nineteen years Old
brother of Mrs. Joyce, believes he was the
unintentional cause of the tragedy. Mr.
and Mrs. Joyce, who live in Manhattan
had spent the evening at the home OF the
Duffs and were asked to remain over night
They were given the sleeping room usually
occupied by Joseph Duff, who was away
from home during the evening
When the young man went to his room
and lit the gas Joyce spoke to him and
explained the situation, whereupon Joseph
turned out the gas and went to another
apartment to sleep. He thinks that in his
confusion at finding his room occupied he
may have turned on the gas after the light
had been extinguished. There is absolutely
no ground for suspicion of suicide. The
grief of young Duff is overwhelming.

phOtOSraphS and other informant
The BertiIlon Method.

Among the topics slated for discussion by
the members of the board is one relating
to the Bertilion method of photographing
and measuring prisoners. The discussion Of
this question will be an interesting one,
and the action of the board will have some
bearing on the future methods of the de-
partments. Members of the board in Ses-
sion today recall a paper read at the re
cent session of the National Association of
Chiefs of Police of the United States and
Canada bearing on the Bertilon system.
The paper was prepared and read by Capt.
George F. Titus, superintendent Of the de-
tective force of New York city. 1t reads:
The Bertillon system when adopted by
native countries, or those In which the
population is principally one race, such as
France, Germany or Austria, can be
operated entirely in keeping with the rules
and regulations laid down by the inventor
In native countries the police system and
rules the same in the northern part
in the southern part. 1t matters little
whether 1t be the smallest borough the
largest city, the police force is under one
head.
1t is a very easy matter, therefore, to in
troduce a system into such a department
and make it a success. When we approach
the United States and Canada, however,
affairs. Our population is cosmopolitan. We
vinces, with different laws. The police de-
partment Of the city of Boston is conduct
ed under the laws of the state of Massa-
chusetts the police department Of the city
Of Milwaukee is conducted under the laws
of the state of Wisconsin. and so on

COUNTY COURT ACTS.
DELAYED Hills or JUSTICES AND
coNsTABLEs DISPOSED or.
Prosecuting Attorney Pttser Submits a
Report Explaining the Law ana
Recommending Reforms
Report Adopted.

| County Court met in special session
Thursday with President Grozing-
or presiding and Commissioners Lee
men and Fiscus present
| Prosecuting Attorney Pitzer sub
mitted a lengthy written report on
matters that had been referred to him
for examination. which report was
adopted and ordered spread upon the
minutes.
He pronounced jailor N. O.. Cald-
wells claim as correct except his al
lowance for arrests in misdemeanor
cases. for which he should be paid 60
cents each. instead of 81.
He recommended that no allowance
be made for assistants in making ar
rests of single persons, as an officer
should be able to arrest one man
without assistants.
@. ID. Burnett's claim for allowance
as witness was pronounced proper
one.
The bill of Constable J. II. Fulk
was pronounced as correct and should
be paid.
A. J. Snyder's bill was also pro-
nounced as correct. Whilst most of
these charges are due TO arresting
tramps, the law has been followed
and the charges are lawful If the
law is not a proper one 1T sh ould be
repealed.
He called the attention of the court
to certain irregularities in criminal
matters before our justices. When
more than one person is arrested they
are all to be named in one warrant,
instead OF seperate warrants being
issued for each person. Witnesses are
also to be allowed only one fee in
stead of fee in each case.
The practice Of the ulcers taking
ASST stants along to make simple ar
rests he zonounred AS absurd ard
should not be tolerated
Tho Prosecuting Attorney then ex
planned the sections Of the code re-
gulatipg the fees OF justice and con-
stables in criminal cases and the col
lection of the costs and concluded his
report with this paragraph
"If these errors are corrected and
the plan here suggested strictly fol-
lowed by this court. matters Will pro-
perry adjust themselves and the court
be saved great expense and unneces-
sary examination.
After adopting the report and pass
ing the bills of the officers Court took
recess until in the afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
