Views of Jersey Chiefs.

Chief Henry Blaurock of East Orange,
N. j., who served CALAMITY in the Union
army and wears the bronze badge of the
G. A. r. beside his police emblem, left to-
day for his home. Before his departure he
expressed to a Star reporter his admiration
for the city and the hospitality of its citi-
Zens, which, he said, is becoming proven
bal.
I'm my opinion" he added, the conven-
ton just closed is the very best our asso-
ciation has yet held, and it will serve TO
emphasize the fact that Washington, ID. c.,
leads all municipalities the American
convention city"
Chief Benjamin Murphy of Jersey City
n. j.. who is sometimes termed the police
encyclopedia owing to his extensive
knowledge of police matters, will leave for
his home tomorrow.
The convention just closed" said Chief
Murphy, has been an important and in
structive one to the police of this country
and the world. 1t has resulted in greet i'm
proVement in the conduct of the Bertllon
system of identification, and good results
will follow the action OF the board of gov
ernors In placing the management of the
system completely in the hands of Maj.
arrangement Maj. Sylvester will be un
hampered by red tape and he can make
the necessary expenditures for the improve
ment and extension of the system with the
approval of Chief Matthew kiely of st.
Louis 1t is also the intention to add TO
the bureau here the finger print system.
Chief Murphy also spoke in high praise
of the entertainment the chiefs had been

Expert in Finger Print System.

LADSIl LII l. iIES1 AiAAS ~ SSSiAA'
Another interesting parsonage at the con-
venton of police chiefs was Mrs. Holland
wife of Mr.. Phil c. Holland of Chicago,
editor of The Detective. the efficient organ
of the police departments of the United
States. Mrs. Holland is assistant editor of
that journal and was in charge OF the edu-
cational feature of the police display at the
st. Louis exposition.
She is conducting many experiments with
the finger print system for Identifying
criminals, and is assisting in extending that
system, which emanated from the Scotland
yards of London, England. She was re-
GENTLY in conference with John Kenneth
Ferrier the expert in criminal investiga-
tons and identifcations from the Scotland
yards. who came to this country to demon
strate the finger-print system.
Mrs. Holland says that after making
thousands of comparisons she found that
there were no two finger prints alike. 1t
is her belief that no two persons alike
would make the same impression with their
finger tips. Some of the big cities that
have adopted the finger-print system are
st. Louis, Chicago, New York, Louisville,
Jersey City and New Orleans.
Features of the Outing.
The presentation of a handsome diamond
pin to Major Sylvester was a feature of
the excursion of the police chiefs to River
View yesterday afternoon. An additional
feature, which appealed with much force
to all, was the feast of clam chowder and
planked shad, supplied by Capt. Randall.
1t will not soon be forgotten by the visit
ors. 1t was about o'clock in the after
noon when the steamer Harry Randall
left the wharf with the jolly party aboard.
In order to show the visitors the several
points of interest along the river they
were taken as far down as Indian Head.
Upon leaving the steamer at the excur-
sion resort the visitors were escorted to
the log fire, where they We're able to wit
ness the cooking of the fish, and the sight
was a novel one TO most of them. Members
of the committee of citizens in charge of
the affair were in evidence, and, needless to
say, their work crowned with success.
There were men enough in the party to
fill the big dining room. Chief Paul Mill
ken of Cincinnati, one of the victims of
the automobile accident noted yesterday,
was remembered with a toast. although he
had gone home to have his injuries treated.
Frank K Raymond was the only victim of
the accident who was in attendance, and
he was there against the wishes of his at
tending physician.
Capt. James F. Oyster, chairman of the
committee in charge of the outing desig-
mated Mr.. e. B. Hay to act as POSTMASTER
and his duties were performed in his usual
entertaining manner Referring to delays

Kenosha District Attorney Answers
Request for Peter Achton.
CONTEST IS IN SIGHT.
Aged Millionaire in Jail on Charoa If
Stabbing Son Seems Least Con-
cerned of ALI.

KENOSHA, Wis, Sept 3O.-[Spe-
clal There is every Indication that there
will be a clash between the courts Of
Cook county, ILL.,, and those of this
county in regard to the disposition of
Peter Achton, who is now in the county
jail here awaiting a preliminary hearing
Oh charge of attempting to murder his
son, John Peter Achton.
:, Inc relatives of AchtOn have during
the last lew days filed an application in
the probate court Of Cook county for an
Of AchtOn.
Can Go if He Gives Bail.
Notice Of the hearing has been served
upon Achton in the county jail here and
upon District Attorney r. Y. Baker. a
demand has been made that Achton be
allowed to appear in the probate court
OF Cook county, and the district attor-
ney has answered the demand with Il
statement that Achton can go to Cook
county when he furnishes good and suffi-
clent bond for 900.
Achton is to have hearing in the Of
flee of Justice George 3. McCarr0n here
on Thursday, and District Attorney
Baker insists that he must be here to
attend that hearing and that the rela-
tives Of the accused man must be on
hand to tell the story Of the stabbing
ARRAY.
Achton seems to be the least inter-
ested party in the whole affair and
seems to be ready to go to Chicago or
to remain in KenOsha.
Friends Failed to Appear.
Some time ago it was stated that per-
sonal friends Of Achton were ready TO
furnish bonds to the amount Of
$4,000 if it was necessary, but up
to this time they have declined to
put up bond to the amount of SD
600. In the meantime it is stated that
the son who was stabbed is rapidly re-
covering and that there is no doubt but
that he will be able to be in court at
the adjourned day for the hearing.
In support of the statement that Ach
ton is not mentally right it is alleged by
people interested that he has shot the
ceilings of his home in Chicago full Of
bullet holes.

MAY CHANGE THE CHARGE
Disappearance of Kaukauna Farmer, It
Is Expected, Will Take Sensational
Turn at Hearing.

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. 3O-LSpe-
cial. Slowly the mystery surrounding
the disappearance Of Michael NJ. Nc

on the case have not stopped to sleep,
scarcely stopping for food since the ar
resi- of Kabat Tuesday afternoon. Ka
bat is to have a hearing before Justice
n. D. Schwin at Kaukauna next Monday
morning on the charge OF kidnapping,
upon which he is being held. The charge
at that time, however, may be changed
Two strange women called at the cOun-
ty Jail and asked to see Kabat. They
were admitted, but were accompanied
by an officer and their conversation was
not material, except that kabat told the
older of the two women to look after his
interests. The two women left and an
officer was Immediately detailed to fol-
low them and learn whom they were.
The officer succeeded in his mission.
The younger of the two women was
found to be Miss Heimke of Kaukau-
ma, say the police, and sister Of the
young man who was employed at the
McCarty farm. The other woman had
given her name as Margaret Hess of
Green Bay.
While the Green Bay woman was in
Appleton, Attorney Thomas II. Ryan,
who has been employed by McCarty's
Bay investigating the case from that end
Of the line.
Attorney Ryan called at the home of
Mrs. Peck, a sister of the prisoner, and
with whom he had made his home since
his release from the penitentiary in June.
Mrs. Peck stated that her brothers name
is Kabat instead of Cabot, and that he
is Bohemian. She stated that McCarty
had been at her home on two or three
occasions to see her brother, but that
their conversation had always been
strictly private md that her brother had
told her nothing about the matter except
that McCarty had gotten into trouble
with a woman at Kaukauna.
Mr.. Ryan also saw Mrs. Merritt.
whom Kabat had referred to at one
time by a slip Of the tongue. Mrs. Mer-
rift stated that Kabat had come to her
and tried TO get her to promise to state
that McCarty had boarded at her house.
But, she said. she had never seen Nc

crushed.
Agitation has been started by business
men of the city looking to the erasing of
names from the cornerstone of the new

of members of the courthouse commits
sion, the architect and superintendent
and this is objected to.
In the course of his address at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the courthouse

mention Of the river as dividing line
Of the city and deplored the fact that it
had been the cause of i'll will and fac

for the courthouse has been continued to
the present day with much bitterness
The date for the meeting of school Off

America, to a daily paper in his home
town, and they were all written over his
name. 1t happened that young Ger
man woman, residing in Alameda, Cal.
obtained bundle of papers, some of
remembered the far-off days when Gus
tave and she went to school together in
Mittweida.
So she wrote the Mittweida editor to
give her Albert's address. The editor
responded by sending it, and subsequent
ly a letter was mailed from Alameda,
Cal, to 1O11 West street. What the
words were, must remain a secret.
Gustave read this letter and a happy
smile rested about his lips, when he an
swered the letter by saying that she had
been the constant thought of his heart
during the many years in which he had
lost track of her. And, encouraged by
the common bond of remembrances be-
tween them, he asked Bertha to become
his wife. A week after, he received her

stating that when he read it she would
be speeding toward Racine Wis.
