special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Prosecuting
an examination of finger tips which
he has carried on for twenty years and
in the course of which he has satisfied
himself that no two tips are alike,
Francis r. Fast, a corporation lawyer,
advertised recently 5000 for finger prints
an inch long which were alike and
made by members of the same family.
Recently an imprint of a finger tip
In place Of a seal, to establish indubi-
tably the identity Of the maker Of a
will, was taken as evidence by MIR.
Fast in an important will contest. He
will present a bill in the next session
Of congress and the state legislature
to legalize finger imprints and give
them the weight a seal now possesses.
Discussing his plan to give a legal
status to finger tips, Mr.. Fast said the
seal, which formerly was an indubi-
table attestation of a document, was
fast passing into disuse.
Finger Imprints as Signatures
IT suggest" he said, "that as a
guarantee of genuineness every person
choose one of his ten fingers-which
shall call my ego finger-and place an
impression Of it's tip after his signature,
especially on documents requiring a
seal by law. In that case the impress
sion should be made after the seal, and
in addition to it.
mot alone are the lines of each of
every PERSONS ten fingers different,
but the 10000 finger tips Of thousand
persons all vary. Thus, the impression
of a mans finger tip would be incon-
trovertible evidence that he was pres
ent when document was signed.
"Just as every person usually adopts
uniform signature to sign checks, so
also should he adopt one certain finger
for an imprint after his signature, and
he should leave a duplicate of the i'm
preston with the bank for it's guild

NEWSPAPER MEN
GOVERNMENT AIDS
MANY HOLD CHOICE PLACES IN
PUBLIC SERVICE
With Secretary Hay at Head Of the
List a Long Roll of Honor
Can Be Called


washington Correspondence Chicago Journal
More and more the newspaper man
is coming to be a factor in public af-
fairs. There is hardly a state in the
Union where the press has not con-
tributed largely of its representatives
to fill important positions. Both houses
Of congress today bear testimony to
the truth Of this statement, as does the
roll of governors of states. In the
minor state offices men of newspaper
training have time and again served
with great distinction, and the power
of the press as a whole seems to be
steadily increasing.
A glance at the congressional direc-
tory tells an interesting story Of the
participation at the present moment OF
former newspaper writers in the work
of operating the national government
Secretary Of State John Hay, before he
became a capitalist and a diplomat,
was an editorial writer on the New
York Tribune, and he held that and
other newspaper positions for many
years, covering practically all of his
younger manhood.
Discovered by MIR. Mckinley
F. B. Loomis, first assistant secretary
of state, was a newspaper writer in
Ohio when President Mckinley discov-
cred him and gave him diplomatic
position in South America, from which
he, was appointed to his present posi-
tion Prior to 1896 Mr.. Loomis had the
newspaper assignment of travelling with

was an editorial writer on the New
York Tribune, with John Hay, and they
had desks IN the same room in this
Tribune building.
John e. wilkie, for a number Of years
the chief Of the government secret
service, was formerly Chicago police
reporter. He worked in that capacity
on several Of the big dailies, and the
training thus acquired fitted him for
the post he now fills so acceptably.
A Washington Correspondent
o. p. Austin, the best man who ever
has held the position Of chief OF the
treasury bureau Of statistics, now
transferred to the department Of COM
merce and labor, was prominent
Washington correspondent before his
appointment to that place
A. d. slauson, chief Of the periodical
division of the library Of congress, was
a Washington correspondent before &C
cepting that position.
Newspaper men are very much in
evidence in the government OF the Dis
trict of Columbia. This city is gov
erned by a board Of three commissions
ers, one of whom must be an officer OF
the engineering corps of the regular
army, not under the rank of captaif.
The two civilian commissioners were
former Washington correspondents, H.
B. F. Macfarland of the Boston Herald
and II. L. West Of the Washington
Post.
Gen. H. v. Boynton, president of the
board OF education Of this city, was
the dean Of the corps of Washington
correspondents until he retired from
the press galleries about ten years ago.
Maj Richard Sylvester, the chief of
police of washington, was a reporter
on the st. Louis Globe-Democrat years
ago and worked 30 long at the pro-
fession that he is well equipped to.

making occasional tours Of the coun-
try. Through this service he became
we'll acquainted with him, and when
Mckinley came to the White House
Isoomis was one OF the men who was
taken care Of.
r. J. wynne, postmaster general and
to be consul general - London after
May 4, was for many years member
of the press galleries of the national
capitol, representing during the most Of
that time the New York Press. He
came up from the most humble begin
ming. During his boyhood he was a
messenger boy IN a Philadelphia tele-
graph office, and while there he learned
to be an operator.
In time he came to washington,
where he secured a position as operator
in the office of Gen. II. v. Boynton, the
leading Washington correspondent Of
his day. Mr.. wynne ''picked up the
newspaper business as he had picked
up telegraphy., and bIossomed out as
a newspaper correspondent in his own
right.
In this business he achieved wide
reputation and at the time he entered
the service Of the government as first
assistant postmaster general he was
one Of the best known men on news
paper row.
Rapid Rise Of Barrett
John Barrett, who has had several
important diplomatic positions and is
at present American minister to Pan.
anna, was a few years ago a reporter
on daily newspaper in Portland, Ore
His rise has been most rapid and Won
derful. He has captured the fancy Of
the president, and his future now seems
secure.
H. A. Taylor Of Wisconsin, assistant
secretary Of the treasury, has been
newspaper proprietor and worker since
his young manhood. and still Insists
that he is in the harness.

the treasury department was daily
newspaper worker. When Leslie M.
Shaw became secretary of the treasury
he brought Armstrong to Washington
as his private secretary. From this
place he was promoted to an assistant
secretaryship.
Brlstow Owns Two Papers
Joseph L. Bristow, who made such a
spectacular record as fourth assistant
postmaster general in connection with
the investigation and prosecution Of
postoff1ce department boodlers, owns
two country newspapers In Kansas and
has hired editors to take charge OF
them during the time he is compelled
to remain away from the state.
George e. Roberts, director Of the
mint, is editor and proprietor of the
Des Moines Register Leader, the lead

Francis e. Leupp, the new commits
