OF the ability of the system to estab-

committee appointed by the Secretary
of State for the Home Department of
Great Britain, in reporting on the sys-

The finger prints of one finger, II
clearly taken, are enough to decide the
question of identity or ~non-identity, and
IL the prints of three or more fingers
be taken m compared. all possibility
of error is absolutely eliminated. {.

terion of identity afforded by the fin

Digit Impressions Effectually Bar
Deserters from RejOining Sery-
ice Under Assumed Names.

IT HE use of the system of finger
prints was introduced in the Uni
ted States navy in 1907, but not for
criminal purposes. 1t is here employed
not primarily to catch deserters, but 10
detect and prevent their re-enlistment
1t insures the seamen of the navy
that the standard shall not be lowered,
and that they shall not be called on
to associate with those who have not
proved true
The avy wants re liable men for it's
vessels, and it gets them. The men who
man its vessels are the finest in the
world, principally because it pays them
better, feeds them better, treats them
better otherwise, and offers greater
chance of Advancement than any other
naval service, and also exercises more
care In their selection. OF about 2 1000
applicants for the fiscal year 1918,
5000 were rejected. After appoint
ment, of those accepted some 1000 de-
clined, leaving 81 900 men to enter the
service, says the writer in the Century.
In 1908 the Bureau of Navigation,
charged with the enlistment of the
crews OF Il naval vessels, recorded
tho finger prints of thirty-four thou
sand men with virtually the same
equipment that David Wilson used for
recording the finger prints Of Roxy's

possession by the results of the two defeats sustained by the New
ark Club yesterday. The season is now near its finish, and, with
Rochester sure for the goal, the question of second place is yet to
be settled. There is a possibility, though not a probability, of the
Providence team tying Newark for second place at the finish, but
that result can be accomplished only by extraordinary good luck
for Providence and extraordinary bad luck for Newark. II is fair
to say that the home club has played remarkably good ball this
year-better, on the whole, than any previous year-and if the
club failed to secure the pennant it should be remembered that
there is a large element of luck in the game.

tract with the Suburban Water Company that the attempts to
bride were committed at different times, in Bergen, Hudson and
Essex counties. The prosecutor in Bergen county has brought
the charges to the attention of the Bergen grand jury, and it is
said that influences are being exerted to shield the accused per-
sons. The grand juries of Essex and Hudson counties have the
same power to act as the Bergen grand jury. With three grand
juries to deal with, the influences that interpose between a crime
and Justice may not prevail. The charges made are direct and
positive. Three reputable men make them, and they have no
motive to lie. There is every reason to believe the charges are
true. If a crime so serious as this has been committed in Essex
county, the Essex grand jury surely cannot fail to take cognizance;
if in Hudson county, the grand jury there would be gravely dere.
lit to ignore it.

river, and the city wells are sunk close to the river bank. while
the wells dug by the water company are ON the opposite side Of
the roadway. The presence Of water underground at Bellevile
was discovered years ago, and a company was organized to dig
wells and sell the water to Newark. The theory was projected
that there was an underground river at BeHevile. This claim was
riGicnlcd. Afterward, when the Water Board established a basin
for water near the pumping station and wells, it was found that
the water was contaminated from the river by filtration of river
water. How much of this filtration can be credited for the large
amount Of water in the wells is a question that representatives of
Staten Island ought to be deeply interested in.
