QUEER WAYS or
DETECTING CRIME

- NIGER print identifcations are
growing more and more common
in the detection Of crimes, but
detectives are still watchful Of some In
dication Of dental clews, and many i'm
portant cases have been solved thru
some slight indication.
Not long ago q banker In st. Peters
burg was found murdered and there
seemed no clew to the assassin until one
Of %he police officials picked up cigar
holder which lay near the body and was
supposed to have been in the murdered
man 3 mouth when he was killed.
On trying to fit the holder to the
teeth It was shown that no possible ad-
justment would make it fit the teeth,
and from the marks on the mouthpiece
It was proved that the holder belonged
to some one whose teeth were Of equal
length. Within the day the bankers
nephew was under arrest and had con-
fessed the crime
Frequently aSvague description Of the
features Of q fugitive criminal is sup
plemented by description Of the gold
crown work on his teeth that leads to
quick Identification, but, on the other
hand, one English thief escaped detec-
ton by having three Of his sound teeth
crowned with gold. Altho all steamers
were watched, he calmly walked past
the detective and it was not until a po-
lice circular fell into the hands Of the
dentist that the trick was discovered.
"A burglar who lunched off bread and
cheese after packing up the plate left a
clear print Of his teeth in the cheese
and by some popularity Of formation
furnished the police with clew they
were not slow to act upon.
The oldest case was that Of man
whose i'll fitting false plate fell from
his mouth az he was making his escape
He was picked up in another part Of
the city as suspicious character, and
before released the facts Of the robbery
came out, and it was found that the
plate was his. He had saved on hi
dental bill, but lost FIVE years Of free

The Writer Declares the Principles

To the Editor Of The journal.
In your Sunday edition of Feb. Is there
was an unsigned article entitled Social
ism In Practice-HoW It Fared In Wis
consin. The account of this attempt
In Wisconsin, 80 early as 1894, to put
into practice the ideas of Fourier, was
very Interesting. But the title was en-
tirely misleading. Fourierism. tho en-
bodying few socialistic ideas. is not
socialism. Indeed, modern socialists ex-
pressly discourage the founding Of sep
arate communities.
VIII you allow me to- point out few
things In which this attempt to estab-
lish Fourierism differed very widely from
socialism? The members Of this little
community were exclusive, in that but

Of Wisconsin, in his books on socialism,

strongest features Of socialism, consid-
cred as plan for an entirely new indus
trial society," Is its all inclusiveness. So
cialis1n Is a structure of society which
takes In ALL Whatever socialists are,
they cannot be called selfish, their whole
aim being to better the condition Of man
kind In general.
The members Of this Fourier phalanx
were self confessedly not socialists. That
very evident fact seems to be the true
cause of their breaking up the phalanx.
They object to the ''strong and willing
being "yoked to the weak and slothful."
In that they hardly recognize the brother
hood Of man, and the principle of Coop

EXPLAINS THE ship
SUBSIDY MEASURE
Congressman Humphrey, Expert
Authority on Subject,
Tells of Bill.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 3-The ship sub
sidy bill, having passed the senate, it's
fate, so far as this session Of congress
is concerned, should soon be known. It
has been sent over to the house, and is
before the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, of which General
@. H. Grosvenor is the chairman. That
committee will consider it with some
care, for in it's present form it is not
satisfactory to the house advocates of
the subsidy idea. There will be several
important amendments, and then the
bill will be reported to the house, and
should it pass that body, which is not
yet assured, it's fate will be in the hands
of the senate and house conferees.
For several years the subsidy ques
8 ton has been before congress. The bill
has been viewed with suspicion by
many honest men in and out of con-
gross, who thought it's main purpose
was still further to enrich certain
American shipowners; and, on the other
hand, it has been defended by it's
friends, equally honest, as one Of the
most important measures brought be-
fore congress for many years.
Technical Question.
Solar as the general public is con-
cerned, the question, being highly tech
nical, is difficult to grasp diligently.
Many opinions both pro and con, have
been formed from insufficient informal
ton, with the result that prejudice, un-
grounded for the most part, has crept
into both sides of the controversy.
One of the few men in congress COM
petent to discuss the question with a
thoro knowledge of all it's various
phases is w. E. Humphrey Of Seattle,
Wash, for years member of the house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries. He was appointed a member
of the special committee of congress,
which year or so ago visited every
important business center in the coun-
try with the purpose Of ascertaining
the condition Of business sentiment re-
garding subsidy legislation. This com
mittee was busy for several months,
and it travelled thousands of miles. The
testimony which it took would fill half
dozen octave volumes, if printed.
Nh. Humphrey calls attention to the
fact that President Roosevelt has ia
vored subsidies in his messages to con
gress, and that the bill prepared by the
commission of which Mr.. Humphrey
was member, sought to reflect the
president opinion as formed after
reading the commission S report. The
bill passed by the senate, however
should be amended in several particu
lars before it becomes a law. Asked to
discuss these proposed amendments, and
TO tell why, in his judgment, the amend
I'D bill should become law, Mr.. Hum
phrey said:
