Identification YET devised that makes
this practicable.

mere general mathematical form each

calculated by Professor Francis Gal

is equally impossible that any two
finger-prints should be identical in
every detail.
Recently the United States govern
ment has also adopted the thumb
print system for Identification of the
sailors and soldiers in service. as this
might become useful not only In
cases of desertlon, but also to more
readily identify the be les OF those
who have fallen on the held OF battle.

A few weeks ago Inspector
Mclaughlin OF the New York City De
tecfiye Bureau received remarkable
evidence of the value of thumb-print
Identification. A letter was brought
to him through the malls from London
containing the picture and record or
a noted criminal whose thumb-prlnt,
with his name and description. was
sent to London to test the efficiency
of this new method of recording dis
tInguishlng 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
thorough investigation OF his case.
Meanwhile the Inspector sent the
thumb-print to London and the reply
brought a photograph OF the crook

MIDLAND OPERA QUINTETTE
Their Entertainment at the Opera
House Wednesday Night Proved
Very Enjoyable

The Chieftain's prediction that
the entertainment to be given by
the Midland Quintette at the OPP
era house Wednesday evening
would prove to be an exceedingly
enjoyable one has been fully veri-
fed. A large and attentive au-
dience listened to the rendering
OF the program and found very
much to commend and very little
to criticize from beginning to
end. In short, every body present
appeared to enjoy the entertain
ment greatly, II is hoped aud
believed that the pleasure de-
rived from this entertainment
will insure an even more liberal
patronage of the rest of the SER
les of FIVE to be offered this
winter

MASONIC MEDALS BESTOWED
Grand Master Jas. G. Fitch of This
City One of the Recipients

Before the grand lodge closed
yesterday afternoon three hand
some medals, containing the
Grand Masters jewel were pres
cnted TO Grand Masters James
G. Fitch of Socorro, Hon. w. b.
Childers of this city and to Col.
Macmillan FrostofSanta Fee, says
the Albuquerque Citizen. The
medal was sent to Frost by spe-
cial deputy he was unable to make
successful arrangements to be in
attendance at the meetings. Col.
Frost is past grand master of
the New Mexico Grand Lodge
and has reached the highest of
degrees in Masonry. w. b.
Childers was a grand master of the
lodge twenty-three years ago and
is therefore the Oldest active
past Grand Master.

SCHOOL OF MINES NOTES
Items of Interest Gathered at the
Institution During the Past
Week

Rue n. Hines attended the
sessions of the grand Masonic
bodies at Albuquerque the first
of the week.
Prof. h. b. Brinsmade. who
occupied the chair of Mine En-
gineering last year, was visitor
in Socorro yesterday morning.
f. n. Hobart of Silver City, a
recent graduate of the State Nor
NAL School at that place, enrolled
for an engineering course Mon
day. And still the number
grows.
DR.. c. G.. Duncan favored facul-
ty and students with a lecture
Monday on the subject OF "Hy-
giene and First Aid" The Doc
tors talk was practical and ex-
ceedingly interesting and was
listened to with perfect attention
throughout. Other lectures of a
like character are contemplated.
Says the Denver Mining Re
porter: The New Mexico
School of Mines opened the new
school year of 1906-07 last month.
The enrolment exceeded that of
last year, and there are still a
number of former students at
work in the mines who will re-
turn for registration at an early
date. The character of the stu
dents attending this school is
very satisfactory, and the posi-
tions held by the graduates of
the institution indicate that their
instruction is of good order

Recently Made by Governor Hager-

the Court
HON. 7. B. CATRON FAILED
In His Effort to Establish the IL
legality of the Governors
Action

A press dispatch from Albu-
querque to the Santa Fe New
Mexican under date of October
Is says: Al 3 o'clock this after
noon Judge Ira A. Abbott handed
down an opinion in the case of
Thomas Benton Catron VS.. the
county OF Santa Fee ct al. in
which the complaint asked for
mandamus of Santa Fe County
and other defendants to carry
out the provisions of the legiSla-
tive apportionment made in 1891
by Ex-Governor Prince, and to
ignore and to set aside the pro-
visions OF the apportionment re-
Gently made by Governor Hager-
man. In the decision Judge ABB
bott fully sustains the validity
and legality Of the apportionment
made by Governor Hagerman and
refuses To grant the mandamus
prayed for in the complaint. The
decision is very lengthy"

FIRST REPUBLICAN GUN
Will Be Heard in Las Cruces To-
night After the Dona Ana
County Convention
BURSUM AND ANDREWS SPEAK
Outlook Never Brighter for Repub-
lican Party in the Territory
Says Mr. Bursum

According to the Albuquerque
Journal, the first large meeting
held by the republicans thus far
during the present congressional
camrnign will be held Saturd az
night in Las Cruces, following
the meeting of the Dona Ana
county republican convention
which takes place in Las Cruces
Saturday afternoon.
Speakers at this meeting will be
Delegate w. Ii. Andrews, Chair
man Fl. o. Bursum OF the repub-
licau committee, Col. G.. w.
Prichard, and a number of south
ern New Mexico men.
Delegate Andrews and party
of friends will leave Albuquerque
Friday night Tor Las Cruces. The
meeting will be big one and is
planned to start off the republic
can campaign in Dona Ana Coun-
ty with a rush.
Chairman Bursum returned to
Albuquerque yesterday from
Socorro where he has been CIV
ing a little attention to local poll
tics. The Socorro county con-
vention will probably not occur
until the end of the month.
The outlook was never better
for the republican party in the
territory said Mr.. Bursum last
night. The fact of the matter
is, that ii we can tell by present
indications the majority which
will be given Mr.. Andrews will
break all records and will dis
tance our expectations. The trend
is all to the republican candi-
date and | confidently expect a
magnificent majority such as
has never been given to Il cam
didate in this territory before"

CROSS ON STATEHOOD VOTE
Attorney General Says Yes" or
mo" Must be Signified by Mark.

In certain anti-joint statehood
sections of the territory an inn
preston prevails that Il ballot
without a cross against either the
yes" or mo" on the statehood
proposition is to be counted as a
vote against statehood.
The following. is the opinion
of the attorney general on the
subject:
October II, 1906.
Hon. c. V. Stafford, Secretary
Republican Central Committee,
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Sir-I have your letter OF the
10th inst, in which you ask, In
the event a voter neglectS to
cross either the yes or mo- on
his ballot with reference to the
statehood proposition, please adj
wise if the ballot on that ques-
tion should be counted either for
or against.
You are advised that in such
an event the ballot should not be
counted for or against on the
statehood question. Respectfully
submitted.
w. c. REID,
Attorney General.

SHERIFF LEANDRO BACA
Still Holds Possession Of His Office
in Spite of Governor Hager-
mans Order
JUDGE PARKER IS PROHIBITED
BY Supreme Court from Recognizing
Misais Baca As Sheriff of socorro
County

Events have not been moving
very rapidly, though rather de-
cisively, toward the settlement
of the question as to who is Sher-
iff of Socorro county. AS. the
readers of the Chieftain we'll
know, Governor Hagerman re-
Gently issued an order of removal
against Sheriff Leandro Baca for
alleged malfeasance in office.
Mr.. Baca determined to test the
question of the governors power
in the premises, and has contin-
ued to hold possession of the Of
flee subject to an order of the
court. The following from Tues
days issue of the Santa Fe New
Mexican tells the rest of the
story to date, Says the New
Mexican:
E. c. de Baca, acting as clerk
of the Territorial Supreme Court
during the absence of Jose d..
Sena, this noon received through
f. W. Dobson, of Albuquerque,
attorney for Sheriff Leandro
Baca, of Socorro county, an or
der issued by Hon. E. A. Mann,
Associate Justice of the Terri
torrial Supreme Court, command
ing Judge Frank w. Parker in
dividually and as presiding judge
of the court of the Third Judi
cial District Court for the County
of Socorro to refrain from recog-
nizing in any manner or form
Masias Baca as sheriff of So
corro County. Masias Baca as we'll
remembered was recently APP
pointed by Governor Herbert ].
Hagerman to succeed Sheriff
Leandro Baca removed for alleg-
ed malfeasance in office.
THE writ was issued this af-
ternoon and was made returnable
at the adjourned term of the Ter
ritorial Supreme Court, opening
October 27 of this month. The
original writ was sent to Judge
Parker at Las Cruces this even
ing and a copy to Attorney E. w.
Dobson at Albuquerque. The
writ is identical with that
granted by Judge Edward A.
Mann upon Judge Ira A. Abbott
on petition of Thomas S. Hubbell
who had been removed as sher-
iff of Bernalillo County, by gov
ernor M. A. Otero, except that
in the Baca case the Office has
not been turned over to the new
appointee while in the Hubbell
case it had and therefore the
court claimed no jurisdiction.
The writ was issued as a matter
of course and not upon the merits
of the case"
