WOULD LET ABLE INDIAN
HANDLE OWN PROPERTY
Some of Five Civilized Tribes, Says
Lacey, Can Do So as Well as
Whites.

Representative Lacey OF Iowa. chairs
man OF the House Committee on Public
Lands. had a talk with the President
this morning in connection with his bill
providing for limited distribution OF
the tribal funds of the Five Civilized
Tribes.
Under present laws, the tribal funds
are administered by the Government.
and no individual. regardless Of his
ability TO care for his own rights. has
voice concerning the administration
of his property.
There are many men among the In
dians particularly the Five Civilized
Tribes. who are graduates OF colleges"
said Mr.. Lacey ''They are just as able
to administer upon their estate as any
white man. The object of my bill is to
permit any Indian who feels that he Is
able to look after his rights TO petition
the President for his allotment of the
funds. IL the President feels that the
applicant is sufficiently able to take
care OF his property, then the President
may award him his share of the tribal
funds"

ARMY WILL ADOPT
THE FINGER PRINT
War Department Accepts
Method of Identification.
BETTER THAN BERTILLON
Found Effective BY Police Officials In
Many of the Large
Cities.

The War Department has decided TO
adopt the finger print system Of identi-
ncation in the army. and all military
posts, hospitals and recruiting stations
will hereafter be equipped with apparat-
us for recording the digital impressions
OF all the men now serving under the
flag.
Officers as well as enlisted men will
have their finger marks preserved for
future reference.
The finger print system was decided
upon by a special board appointed for
the purpose OF providing an improved
system Of Identification Of recruits. II
is far superior 10 the Bertillon system.
the board concluded II has been IN
successful use In India for long time.
and Is at present used BY the police de-
paTtments OF Chicago. St. Louis. San
Francisco, Cincinnati. Lowell. Cleveland
Milwaukee. Louisville, Grand Rapids.
Baltimore and Albany. and is soon 10 be
used in Kans2s City. Says the official
report of the board:
Finger prints. examined and com
pared by an expert. furnish method
far more certain than any other. being
incomparably more certain than personal
recognition or identification by photo
Sraph AulhoflileS agree tHal unueT the
BertiliUn method. while IL is improbable.
yet Il is conceivable that persons might
have measurements coinciding within the
limits allowed for error, but that il is
wholly inconceivable that two persons
should show an exact coincidence In the
print Of even one. 10 say nothing OF the
ten fingers
Thus. the prints Of one or two fingers
are ample to prove identity, but all ten
prints are taken for classification, apd
thus to trace identity

Third Interest Said to Have Brought
About Agreement Between Mas

The prospects for a settlement of the
trouble between the master plumbers

out five weeks ago are bright. It was
learned this morning that an under
standing will be reached in few days
by which the journeymen viii go back
to work practically under the operations
of the old contract, which has two
years to run. and the breaking of which
by the journeymen. the master plumb

and present trouble
The basis Of the settlement could not
be learned today, but u is limited that
the masters and the Journeymen We're

which has as much. if not more, at
stake than the master plumbers or the
