The Potomac river proper and the
Eastern branch were dragged for a week

MISS ALICE IS LOYAL
No Part Of Her Trousseau Will
Bear a Foreign Thread.

Washington, Jan. 12.-While
everybody has been wondering
when Miss Alice Roosevelt
would begin seriously to think
of her trousseau and would go to
New York to give orders and
make purchases, she has quietly
been going back and forth to
Baltimore, which holds a reputa-
tion for good shops and modistes,
and where Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Alice get many Of their
gowns.
Though having travelled half
around the world and having
been received like a royal prin-
cess, Miss Roosevelt is still dem
ocratic in her ideas and loyal to
her own country. In proof of
this she will have every article
of her trousseau made in this
country, and though her future
sister-in-law, the Countess de
Chambrun, could easily get
many facinating accessories in
/
Paris, not a thing for the brides
outfit will come from across the
seas.

SECRETARY
RAYNOLDS
Answers Charges Made for
the Purpose Of Holding
Up His Re-appOInt-
ment.

The Santa Fe New Mexican OF
Monday, Jan. 15, says:
A special from Washington to
this paper, stated that ex-Dele-
gate B. S. Rodey had fled charges
against Territorial Secretary j.
W. Reynolds with Chairman
Beveridge of the Senate COM
mittee on territories, and that
on account of these charges,
the nomination of Mr.. Reynolds
to succeed himself as secretary
of the Territory has not been
confirmed.
In substance the charges are
Offensive partisanship; build
ozing delegates to the conven-
tion in 1904, which did not re-
nominate ex-Delegate Rodey as
the Republican candidate for
Delegate to the 59th Congress.
The indiscriminate pardoning of
criminals; that through political
effect and work, Mr.. Reynolds
secured a large increase i'll the
fees of his office and so manipul-
ated matters in the legislative
assembly as to have it pass
measures increasing such fees
greatly; that Mr.. Reynolds, in
conjunction with Governor Otero,
by unfair means, procured pub
lie lands for a sheep ranch in
central New Mexico on each side
of the Arroyo Salado, eight miles
wide and many miles long.
Secretary Reynolds answers in
a brief way all of the charges,
and, we think in a very satisfac-
tory manner. The one charge
generally talked about by Dem
ocrats and few Republicans is
the one of securing public lands
by unfair means," and below
we give Mr.. Reynolds answer
to that charge. The other charges
are too insignificant to consume
time and space in reproducing
MIR. Reynolds answers. The
land charge is answered as fol-
lows:
The lands were originally en-
tered by homesteaders in tracts
of 100 acres each, some of them
as early as 1876, in the usual zig
gag form one-quarter of a mile
wide and one mile along the
arroyo. United States patents
had been issued for all of these
lands long before either of us en-
tered office. The lands had been
bought and sold several times
before we purchased and some Of
our abstracts of titles include as
many as thirty different docu.
ments beginning with the orig.
inal homesteader's patent.
mot All acre of this land was
acquired by us from the govern.

FINGER MARKS OF CRIMINALS
LIFE LONG AIDS TO THEIR
DETECTION.

Individual Finger Marks Permanent
Through Life-Adoption of System
for Identification Of v. 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 thumb-print
Identification. A letter was brought
to him through the mails from London
containing the picture and 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 III 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 duplicate photograph OF his
thumb-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 scheming criminal can
adopt various subterfuges to cheat the
law, but there Is no way Of changing
the character Of his thumb-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
