RECORDS OF ENLISTED MEN.
Identification by Finger Prints IL
Now Required.

Identification by Finger Prints Is
Now Required.
On Sept 1 the system of personal
Identification prescribed on April z by
the war department was placed In
operation and a record is to be made
Of every man who may hereafter enlist
or re-enlist in that service, says the
New York Tribune. Circular A en-
joins commanding officers to take such
steps as may be necessary to insure
prompt and complete compliance with
the requirements Of the order, and In
specting officers are charged to make
special inquiry and report as to wheth-
er these requirements have been met
On Sept / the outline figure cards pre-
viOusly In use were discontinued, and
hereafter the complete Identification
record, consisting of finger prints, per-
sonal description of the soldier photo
graphic negative and one print of the
negative, will be forwarded to the mill
tary secretary of the army.
One Of the most important features
of this Identification record is the Inn
preston Of the fingers, as it is held
that the finger prints of no two men
are Identical. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, therefore, that the finger prints
should be clear and the ridges distinct
ly outlined. There are two kinds Of
impressions, "plaln" and "rolled." The
former is secured by pressing the bulb
of the finger on the linked plate, with
the plane of the nail parallel to the
plane of the plate, and then on the pa
per in the same manner. A rolled Inn
preston is obtained by pressing the
side Of the finger on the plate and then
rolling the finger from one side to the
other After the impression Of each
finger separately has been taken a
plain impression of all the fingers OF
the right hand is taken at one time.
The outline on the opposite side of the
prescribed form is then filed up and
the personal description completed BY
noting on the outline figure the princi-
pal Identification marks. Upon compile
ton Of this routine the soldier Is re-
quired to sign his name In the place
provided for signature Of soldier"
and after being photographed It Is as
sumed that the means for his Identih-
cation are as complete as It is possible
for human ingenuity to make them.

'GOLDFTELD MINESGO
STRIKE OF The men SETTLED
BY AGREEMENT.
Hold Of the Industrial Workers of the

other Labor Organizations.

Goldfelds, Nev.-An agreement has
been signed by the executive commit
tee of the mine owners and the Of
ficers of the miners union, No. 220,
Goldheld district, which terminates the
great lockout and labor struggle of the
past seven weeks.
The final act of the peace negotia-
tons occurred when joint announce
ment was signed declaring that the
mines would resume operations Mon
day at p. M. and calling upon all
miners to go to work. The terms of
the settlement are as follows:
First, the wage scale in effect in
the district March 1, 1907, shall re
main in force, and eight hours shall
constitute a days work for all men
under the jurisdiction of the miners
union.
Second, the miners union shall have

ployed in and around the mines, mills
and smelters, including timbermen
timber trainers, engineers, black.
smiths, and machinists, and excepting

Third, no strike or boycott shall be
officially declared by the miners un-
ion unless by a two-thirds vote of the
organization in favor thereof, and nc
lockout shall be enforced by the mine
owners and operators unless by like
vote.
Fourth, no town labor controversy
shall interfere with the operation OF
the mines or the employment of the
miners.
Fifth, these terms shall remain in
force for a period of two years from
date.
The outcome of the controversy is a
distinct victors of the mine owners
for every one of the demands made OF
the miners, both as members of the
miners union and the Industrial
Workers of the World, are agreed to-
The miners have separated them
selves from the Industrial Workers OF
the World and will let no town labor
trouble interfere with the working OF
the mines,

They slip over Line.


They Slip over Line.
Under the regulations covering the
entrance into this country of Japanese
laborers, there is no way of prevent
ing the Japanese from Honolulu trans
shipping at San Francisco for British
Columbia It is evident from INQUIRIES
that have been made by officials of this
government, that the Japanese, tc
whom the Japanese government issues
passports to Mexico or the Hawaiian
islands, have no intention of remain
ing there. Their destination, as the
laborers themselves have admitted on
crossexamination, is the United States
Recently several hundred Japanese
laborers were Intercepted in Mexico
as to their intentions. Every one OF
them said he expected sooner OF
later to reach this country. Some OF
them were in serious financial straits
They were awainting opportunity tC
get across the border into this coun
try. The same is true of japanese
who are going to British Columbia
There is no work for them there and
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible. The regu.
lations governing the exclusion OF
Chinese laborers do not apply to the
Japanese laborer.
When Chinese are shipped in transit
through the United States to another
country, photograph is taken of each
individual and the railroad or steam
ship company carrying him is required
to give the government "a bond tc
prevent his escape. 1t is different with
the Japanese. No photographs are
taken and no bonds are exacted from
the transportation company. If Jap
anese laborer escapes from the train
or steamship in transit, the govern
ment has no recourse. That many OF
them do take advantage of the chance
offered them to get into this country
is known officially, but there is nc
way under the regulations to prevent
them embracing the opportunity.
Commissioner Sargent declines tC
discuss the subject, but it is known
that Secretary Straus of the depart
ment' of commerce and labor is keep
ing in close touch with the situation
Trouble is being experienced in han
ding the question, however, particu
larly in relation to the Japanese i'm
migrants who are arriving from Mexi
CO. 1t is practically impossible to pre-
vent them from being struggled across
the border and the government has
no means of identifying them after
they reach this country. The question
is likely to become more serious il
the future.

Prominent men INDICTED BY
A GRAND JURY.
Master Plumbers, Lumbermen, Brick
Men and others Are in the Clutches
of the Antitrust Law-93 Are In
dioted, but Are Not Yet Arrested
Asked to Come and Plead.

Toledo, Ohio-Ninety-three of the
n,oet prominent men in Toledos bust
moss life were indicted on 245 counts
NV the grand jury which has returned
its report to Judge Morris. The men
indicted are the members of the To-
lodo Master Plumbers association,
Numbering 60 persons; "a lumbermen
ond nine brickmen. The indictments
are returned for violation of the Val
nntine antitrust law and are the re-
sult of an investigation covering
npriod of about two weeks.
The National Supply company of
South st. Clair street is the only cor
noration indicted. This company deals
II numbers and oil we'll supplies and
ie accused of having been concerned
in the regulation of prices fixed by the
Master Plumbers association.
The Toledo Brick Supply company,
alleged to have been an illegal com.
hination of brick manufacturers in
restraint of trade, is alleged to have
been organized for the purpose of con-
trolling the price of the product OF
local brick manufacturers. Since the
massage of the Valentine antitrust law,
If is said to have changed its FORM
hut the prosecutor expects to show
that it has continued as a monopoly
of the brick business locally.
The Toledo lumber dealers bureau
of credit is charged with being the
controlling organization of the lumber
market. it's members, it is alleged, hav,
ing combined to boost the prices OF
lumber at will. Several building con.
tractors testified before the grand
Jury as to the manner in which its
operations affected them, the manipu-
lation of the price Of building material
and the cost of construction by the
lumber dealers, brick manufacturers,
plumbers and the supply dealers, some
times having a ruinous effect upon
their work under contract.
Nobody will be placed under immedi-
ate arrest. The prosecutor will give
them a chance to come in voluntarily,
plead to the indictments against them
and give bond for appearance for trial
These preliminary measures will be
accomplished within the coming week
and the cases will be assigned fo1
trial later

needed a sewing machine more than

discovered during the day that the
victim was the man l had insured.
Immediately hurried about and Sc
cured the necessary proofs Of death,
sent them In to the office, and request

to me without delay. Less than week
after the funeral went to the home
