HINDU USES TOE To
STAMP DEPOSIT SLIP
Bankers Find All Their Signatures
Look Alike and Use Thumbs
for Identification

CHICO, Call Aug. 6.-Identifcation
methods were given a new twist in a
Chico bank yesterday when a Hindu
squatted down on the floor, jerked OH
his shoe and used the great toe of his
right foot for stamping an impression
on the deposit slip. The Hindu sigma
lures all look alike to bank cashiers,
who used the thumb imprints as an ad-
ditional means of identification in cases
where depositors hail from the far east.
The system could not be followed out
today because the Would-be deposltors 8
hands were tied up in bandages. He
had been severely scalded at Hamilton
city while working around the Vats of
boiling water in the sugar factory. He
insisted on putting his savings in the
bank, but the cashier was at a loss as
to means of Identification, in view of
the fact that neither thumb was avail
able. He solved the problem by direct
ing the Hindu to take off his shoe.
This operation complete, the depos-
itor was handed the ink pad and the
deposit slip. Putting both feet on the
floor he pressed the bottom of his toe
on the ink and then transferred it to
the paper, making a very clear i'm
preston. The impression will hardly
answer so we'll as the thumb imprint,
but the bank says it will do, so long
as the custom does not become general.
In fact, the cshier expresses the belief
that he could recognize the toe mark
among a thousand.

GERMANY's SUBMARINE

BERLIN, Aug. 6.-Germany is
creating a huge fleet of submarines
under a veil of secrecy by devoting
large proportion of the funds figuring
in the official naval estimates of the
last year or two as expended for tor
pedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers
to the construction of submarine Ves-
sells of war.
This manipulation of funds voted by
the imperial legislature was con.
sidered necessary in the interests or
national defense. After lengthy eX-
periments, and after awaiting the re-
suits of other countries trials with
submarines, Germany has settled on
an excellent type of this class of YES
sci, and is building large sub
merged fleet.
German naval experts are convinced
that in the narrow waters of the North
sea submarines would play great and
perhaps decisive part in any naval bat
tie fought there, and that German SUBJ
marines could even be used for attack
on British battleships lying in British
ports. owing to the short distance from
Wilhelmshaven to the east coast Of
England.

Not Pay Wife's Bills

NEW YORK, Aug. 6-Behind the
publication Of a notice to merchants
and others that Walter Ferguson
would not be responsible for his Wifes
hills. there is, according to Ferguson's
most intimate friends, a strange story
of a wife deluded ,by spiritualism and
hvpnotism into squandering her own
and her husbands fortunes, while the
husband, who still loves her is forced
lest he go bankrupt-to curtall her
expenditures.
. Ferguson, who is a club man, So

Me
Acting as Mrs. Ferguson's private
secretary and majordomo at the camp
is George Graham, big, handsome
Young man, who until recently was
an ordinary guide in the Maine woods.
He. Ferguson's friends declare, caused
all the trouble, for he introduced Mrs.
Ferguson to spiritualism. He has
brought other spiritualists about her,
TOO. the friends say, And since the
coming Of the mystics her financial
outgo has been such as would aston
ish even a richer man than Fergu-
son.

RAILWAY LAWYERS HAVE
TRUST IN Commission
Session to Consider New Law Ad-
iournS to Meet Again
in December

PORTSMOUTH, n. H, Aug. 6.-The
conference of attorneys representing all
the principal railroad systems of the
United States, called for the purpose OF
discussing the new railroad law, and
which has been in progress here for
several days, broke up this afternoon.
Another meeting will be held in New
York in December.
A statement giving a general outline
Of the work Of the conference was is
sued As far as could be learned, there
appeared a general sentiment among
those present in favor of a liberal inter
pretation of the amendments to the
railroad law adopted by the last con.
gress. This was particularly true OF
the so-called long and short maui
clause, in the consideration OF Whlch
much time was spent.
Lawyers who have been engaged IN
the conference express confidence that
the interstate commerce commission
will probably proceed conservatlVely
about making any rulings that Will
disturb existing conditions.
There has L"cn no disposition what
ever on the part of anyone TO sq9gest
means of eVading the act" said Edgar
7 Rich, general solicitor of the Boston
& Maine railroad. The statement given
out follows:
THE conference has considered queS-
tions arising under the act to regulate
commerce, as recently amended by con-
gress. The several days of the meet
ing were in tine main spent in a general
interchange OF views Of those present.
some informal votes were taken, but
this was not with any thought OF fore
stalling independent action, but IN or
der to obtain a more definite expression
of opinion than would otherwise nave
been possible on matters which were
in the main those of a practical nature
of which traffic officials wish to be ad-
vised." l,.. H.,
tonight said:
"For three days the conference con-
sidered the long and short haul clause.
The questions involved, particularly
with relation to rates where there IS
water competition, were referred to a
committee which was instructed to re-
mort at a conference early in Decem-
her. There are many questions as 10
which the attorneys are in doubt IN
cIudino those of the COnstitutionality OF
certain provisions of the new law, the
extent of the interstate commerce COM
mission authority, and whether the rul-
ines of the commission can be carried
TO the United states supreme court.

CENSUS CHIEF DODGES
WOMAN'S RIGHTS ISSUE
No Sex Question in Query About
Ownership of Family Farm

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. - Director
Durand of the census bureau has care
fully avoided the equal rights for wo-
men" issue in what appears to have
been an effort to draw him into
suffrage controversy.
He received a query from Catherine
Waugh McCulloch of the Illinois Equal
Suffrage association asking him Wheth-
er it was mot true that in the ad-
vance schedule of questions sent out
to census gatherers in relation to agri-
culture was this paragraph:
"a husband is never to be reported,
however, as manager for his Wife's
farm, but if he manages it for her,
should be reported as owner
She asserted that if this were true it
"would be a legal misstatement.'
Mr. Durand in a letter to Mrs. Nc
Culloch explains the matter by show
ing that the census inquiries as to
farm management are "for the purpose
of ascertaining the economic indepen-
dence or dependence of the farm FAM
ilies"; wherefore in the reports there
would be no reference whatever to the
sex of the person operating the farm. .
"There is absolutely no intention" "
he says, ito disregard the rights or
women. but, on the contrary, the cen
sus office, in its study of family inde-
pendence and dependence, recognizes
that the woman counts the same as
her husband" He explains that from
this standpoint farms fall into three
classes:
Those operated by the families which
own them, those rented by the fam
lilies which operate them, and those OPP
Grated by persons who are paid by the
farm owner.
1T would be immaterial" he adds,
"whether the woman or her husband
were reported as the farm operator,
since the only fact that will be tabu-
lated by the census is the fact that the
farm is operated by the owner without
DISTINGUISHING sex"

FIRM QUITS BUSINESS;
STILL PAYS EMPLOYEES
Their Only Duties Are to Ring the
Time Clock

NEW YORK, Aug. Ga new idea in
nothing to do for a salary is In course
of demonstration in the dismantled
store formerly occupied by the Tent
Weller company at $50 Broadway,
where about sixty former employees OF
the firm which recently sold Its IN
terests and went out of business ring IN
their time on the clock register morn
ing aiStF eVening-and do nothing else
all day.
IF each of these employees can stand
the strain of ringing in on time clock
a stated number of times every WORK
ing dav from now until December 81
he will receive his salary for so dong
regularly and without diminutlon.
Each of the sixty has large floor
snace to play in, or, if he feels 50 dis
nosed he NAV occupy his hours be-
tween punching the time clock in seek
ing another job where there is real
labor attached to the continuing
monthly pay envelope. 1t Is said by
some of those who now suffer the pangS
of inaction with salary that probably
that time clock will be in working
order until December 81.
Recently the Tefft-Weller company
sold out to the H B. Clafiin company,
At that time the former company had
verbal contracts with a number of Its
employees for service up to the end OF
the year. The retiring company hon
ored its contracts in every instance
where a former emplOye did not obtain
employment elsewhere, making Just one
stipulation, which was that in order to
conserve the semblance of regularity
each of its old employees who decided
to enjoy the benefits of his contract
until December 81 should report for
duty at the building where the store
had formerly been at the hour of in
the morning, take the accustomed hour
off for lunch and ring in his time again
