WEIR INTERESTED
 IN A NEW SYSTEM
Identification by Finger Prints
 is Being Discussed
BETTER THAN BER1lLLON
Inspector of Scotland Yards Was at Chiefs Convention and Explained the New System FuIIy-Ene-
 land Adopted 1t.

Chief of Police Wier Is very much in- terested in a new system of criminal iden- tifcatIon which was much discussed al the meeting of the chiefs of police at St. Louis last week. It Is the system of identification by thumb and finger prints, and in England and all her colonies this device has taken the place of the Der tillon system.
 The inspector of Scotland Yards, of the famous London detective force, was at the meeting in St. Louis and spoke at length cn this new system, which he has adopt ed in preference over all others. He stated that 1t is impossible to make any mistake by this system of Identification, and, that 1t is the only one not liable tc errors In speaking of the matter yes- terday Chief Wier said:
 This new system, according to the in- spector of Scotland Yards, Is cheaper and more accurate than the Bertilon. which Is considered in this country to be the best. The inspector stated that he could find men whose Bertillon measurements were exactly the same. He offered to put up forfeit of 5000 if he could not find at least three men in London whose Ser tillon measurements were identical down to the smallest fraction
 %The new system is to make an im- pression of the thumb and fingers on piece of paper. The inspector offered an- other 5000 to any one who would find any two prints of mems fingers which were similar. He said that he had never seen two alike and that he did not believe they could be found. Another beauty of the new system is that no matter what happens to a mans hand. unless 1t is cut off, the lines will always be the same. He can cut 1t, but after the wound heals the lines will be identical with what they were before 1t was cut
 By the Bertillon system 1t Is impos- sible to trace young criminal. They out grow the measurements, and the career of man cannot be followed. He will pick up or lose flesh so that his measurements will be different Under the Bertillon sys- tenn different operators. and all of them experts will make different measure ments of the same man and they are therefore inaccurate. The Bertilon sys- tenn Is very expensive, while this new system costs only few dollars. The Ber- tillon system requires an operator who is familiar with the system, while any enc can work the finger system.
 'The new system is very simple It re- quires a specially prepared paper on which an impression of the ball of the finger, or the end joint, is made. This is examined by small, but powerful magni- flying glass, and it shows the lines com plete. l was very much interested in the inspector talk. The new system is used entirely in England

 The Operators.
 Tn previous years the coal operators have held meetings in June to agree up- on a programme for locking horns with the miners in joint convention. This year the operators association seems to have gone out of existence. It is said that no meetings have been held and that none will he held One of the leading op- orators remarked a few weeks ago that the wage scale proposed by the miners would be considered by the corporations separately and not as an association. If this policy is adhered to there will be no joint convention next Monday as previously announced.
 An operator said yesterday that while a suspension of mining work for a month. or two might work a temporary hardship, it would in the end be bene- f1cial. for it would stimulate the iron market and create demand for the fur mace outl ut. It may be, however, that the companies will come to terms with the miners and that the suspension of work will not continue longer than usual after the expiration of the present wage contract July 1.
