SYSTEM FOR
PROVIDENCE
Board Of Police Commissioners
Adopt French System for
Identifying Criminals.

The famous system for the identifca-
tion OF criminals perfected by NJ. Alphonse
Bertlllon has been adopted by the Provi-
dence board of police commissioners. ana
soon this method will be In full operation.
making IL possible TO recognize a well
known crook and get his record and pho
tograph instantly
The, Bertillion system has been under
time and IL was definitely adopted at a
meeting held yesterday.
Bertillion. the inventor. established II
in Paris in 1SS3 where he became the head
OF the bureau OF identification. This an
thfopometrical method he called the ''por-
trait In words" He had found that GER
tain parts of the human frame do not
alter after adult age has been reached and
afford accurate means of measurement.
II was gradually adopted by other po-
lice and detective bureaus throughout the
world and now nearly every large centre
has this system In use. So accurate are
the descriptions and so general Is the use
that IL is becoming TO be a terror 10 the
criminal classes. who fight vigorously
against submitting TO measurements. This
is particularly true In the case OF sec
ond or third offence for which the pris-
oner knows that the deadly accuracy OF
the figures and descriptions on file Will
add years to his sentence when his pre-
vious record is ascertained. The principal
measurements taken are the height, stoop
stretch of the arms. bust, length and
width of the head, length and width or
the right ear, left foot. left middle nm
ger. left little finger and left forearm, In
addition to the colors of the parts OF the
eye and size and position OF marks on the
body or limbs, like moes, scars or cuts,
bols or wounds. tattooing. etc. In Paris,

LOST BRACELET.
.or prov,dence Nevs.

Editor Providence News:
In your issue OF the 18th instance. un-
der the above heading appeared short
sketch OF what might appear to the pub
lie as dishonest act the facts therein
stated being misleading and tending TO
throw suspicion on myself and family,
and In Justice TO us I earnestly request
that the following explanation be given
to the public.
One OF my children found n bracelet
and not knowing to wnom II belonged re-
tained It, A few days ago Maggie Need
ham saw the bracelet on my daughters s
wrist and told her II belonged to Kate
Costello. In short time the latter
claimed the property. which declined TO
let her have without proper Identification
which she perslstently refused to furnish
The sergeant at the Olneyville station
10 whom the matter was reported ordered
me 10 hand II over, which | still declined
20 do unless the property was identified
He used harsh and improper language
although ] had given him no cause so
far as I knew.
The imputation that was waiting for
reward probably emanated from that
source as never dreamed OF such a
thing. As soon as proper description
OF the lost article was given I took steps
to restore n TO the owner and was not
deferred by the great Alexander Sell

imagines that he Is monarch OF all he

tend to make matters right. Yours
