went to command the old Tenderloin police
station week ago, told Commissioner
Bingham yesterday that his men had ar
rested about thirty women on each Of the
two previous nights and said he thought
that il he could take the finger prints OF
women arrested for various offences he
could prevent many women from giving
fictitious names and getting of with light
sentences in court.
Commissioner Bingham told Capt Murphy
to 60 ahead and try his plan. 1t was put
into operation last night. When a woman
prisoner was taken to the station house
she was escorted to a room where the i'm
print OF her left hand and her left fore
finger was taken. Then she had to write
her name underneath. After that her pedi-
gree was taken, by the desk lieutenant.
Capt. Murphy said that by this plan the
cumulative sentence would have q better
chance at the old offenders. He said he
might use the same scheme on women ar

with which experiments will be made at an
early date.
Under the terms Of an order issued to-day
the War Department will permit Israel
Ludlow, who is building an aeroplane on
his own account, to stable his machine
in the old Pennsylvania Railroad station,
which was abandoned last year. Consid-
erable work remains to be done on the
Ludlow aeroplane before it can be brought
out in the open. Its construction has
occupied nearly the whole OF the last year.
As soon as the motor has had some running
trials the machine will be taken out to the
speedway that skirts the Washington Monu-
ment grounds and a chance given it to get
into the air.
Directions to govern persons experiment
