THUMB PRINT THE SUREST
Most Effective Method of ldentifica-
ton by the Bertilon
System


NEW YORK, Feh.-5.---Detective Ser=
geant Joseph F'aurot, who was sent
abroad December 16 to study identifica-
ton systems used by the London and
Paris police, returned on the steamer
Carmania yesterday. He will submit a
report today to Commissioner Bingham.
The thumb print method of identifica-
tion of criminals struck Faurot as be-
ing the surest and most useful feature
of the Bertillon system. While he was
in London Scotland Yard was called on
to act in the Depford murder case. The
only clew of importance was a finger
print in blood on a cash drawer. The
finger print was photographed on cop
per and sent to Scotland Yard and in
twenty-four hours the detectives had
the murderer.
Faurot said yesterday that the adop-
tion of the finger print system would be
a. decided Improvement on the Ber-
tillon system as used here.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 5.--The

Mutual Water company met at Red
lands today and voted a bond issue of
100000 for completing the absorption
of the numerous small water COM

Valley Water company, which built
the great Bear valley dam nearly
twenty years ago, and its allied inter-
estS.
The balance of 100000 will go toward
the erection of a second storage dan,

This is practically the final action in
uniting all the varied water interests in
the eastern end of the valley.

the Tribune from Toronto, ont. says;
great system of branch lines tribu-
tary to the Grand Trunk Pacific will
come before parliament at the coming
session. The construction of no fewer
than twenty-three branch lines is
planned. Many of them will serve as
feeders TO the Grand Trunk system
through the northwest, drawing busi-
ness from points north and south of the
main line.
This program is hardly likely to es-
cape without opposition from the Cana.
dian Pacific when such a sweeping In

company has long enjoyed a monopoly
Is planned. The cry Is bound to be
heard that the Grand Trunk is seeking
a blanket charter, but If the company
can show that 1t intends to give COM
petition and improved railway service
to districts in which they are now
lacking, parliament may lend a sympa-
thetic ear to the proposal.
