Individual ringer MARKS permanent
Through Life-AdOption OF System
for Identification OF U. s. Soldiers
and Sailors
A few weeks ago Inspector
Mclaughlin of the New York City De
tective Bureau received remarkable
evidence of the value of t~humb-print
Identification. A letter was brought
to him through the mails from London
containing the picture apd record of
a noted criminal whose thumb-print,
with his name and description. was
sent to London to test the efficiency
of this new method of recording dis
tinguishing marks of criminals. BY
means of the thumb-print alone the
English police identified the criminal
captured by the New York police,
whose record in England includes eight
imprisonments on charges of larceny.
The prisoner was caught by Inspector
MCLAUGHLIN in the corridor of the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in April. There
were no charges against him in this
country at the time, but the Inspector
decided that his captive was an En-
glish ''crook." 1t was found that two
patrons of the hotel had been robbed
and the prisoner was detained for a
thorough investigation of his case.
Meanwhile the Inspector sent the
thumb-print to London and the reply
brought a photograph of the crook
and a duplicate photograph of his
tbumb-print and his record.
THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
For some time the criminal bureaus
of prominent cities have been using
the Bertillon measurement system
which also includes making two pho
tographs of the suspicious character,
but the French system and photo
graphy have fallen short in many
cases, as a seheming criminal ear
adopt various subterfuges to cheat the
law. but there Is no way Of changing
the character of his tbumb-print, for
there are no two people whose thumbs
are exactly alike, and each person has
his own individual thumb-print whose
character remains the same from the
day of birth to the end.

mode of identification, as from time

Oxford, Pa.-Tbe only boy in n class
Of seven, James Andrews, aged sixteen
years, committed suicide rather. than
graduate. His body was found in
White Clay Greek, where he had
drowned himself in about -four feet
of water. His coat pockets were filed
with fatirons and stones, which held
him down.
Young Andrews was q senior in the
Oxford High School, but was so diff
dent that he did not wish to take part
in the graduation exercises. especially
as he was the only boy. His relatives
and teachers insisted upon it. and the
fear of having to appear with so many
girls weighed upon his mind so that
he threw himself into the creek.
When the body was recovered a note
addressed to his mother was found
asking her to take care of his younger
brother. Young Andrews had conided
to several of his companions that lie
never would graduate.

the steam pumps gave out. AS the
water rose in the hold the ship set sig
