EXAMINE MANCHURIA
WHILE IN DRY DOCK
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The Pa
citic Mail steamer Manchuria was
placed on the dry dock yesterday and
a patient survey was made Of the
damage sustained by the, vessel whiic
she lay on the Hawaiian reef.
Although few of them are punctured
at least 200 of the liners plates are
more or less bent and dented, and the
bottom of the big steamship resembles
a gigantic corrugated washboard All
but one of her propeller blades are
twisted out of shape and the bilge keel
ON the starboard side is crushed in like
a crumpled tomato can.
To make complete survey will take
some time and the work will begin in
earnest this morning when the water
that yesterday filled the double bottom
will have trickled out. 1t is thought
that the greatest part of the damage
has yet to be revealed, as every dent
in the hull where the liner rested on
the rocks may mean a twist in one of
the numerous stanchions between the
two bottoms.
1t was in this do. Die bottom that the
surveyors expect to find the most dis
astrous effects cf the grinding on the
reef

LOCATE MURDERER
BY FINGER PRINT
CURIOUS RESULT OF NEW
SYSTEM
Soldier at Fort Leavenworth Said to
Have Killed comrsde--sou7ht for
Years by Scotland Yard
Detectives
Rv Asnnciated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ia curious
result OF the recent adoption by the
United States army of the system of
identification by finger prints. just
reported to the war department, was
the discovery in the person OF a SOL
dier at Fort Leavenworth of British
murderer for whom the Scotland Yard
authorities have been looking for years.
The man was a prisoner in the United
States penitentiary serving a five-year
sentence for military crime. In prison
he was well behaved and well liked,
aud when the warden, following the
general order to take the finger print
records of all soldiers. attempted to
secure an impression of this mans
digits he met with violent resistance,
and the assistant who tried to make
the record was knocked down and
roughly handled.
Suspecting that this resistance was
based upon the mans previous knowl-
edge of the use to which the finger
prints might be put and that his record
was bad, the warden sent copies of the
prints to the police authorities in a
number of cities. Within a short time
Scotland Yard reported that the man
had committed an atrocious murder in
Malta, that he had been sentenced
to life Imprisonment and had escaped
to America.
