The work is even now we'll started For
several years city police departments,
operating through the International AS
ISOLATION of Chiefs of Police, have main
tanned in Washington a small bureau in
which Bertillon measurements of the
more important American criminals are
kept. 1t is this bureau that is to form
the nucleus of the national bureau of
criminal identification, an agency deS
tined to take important place in the
future study and control of criminal &C
tivitieS here.
The sudden promise of a great eXpan-
sion of the institution and the collection
of complete criminal records results from
the recognition which Congress gave to
the bureau in the last session. An ap-
preparation of s., 600 and a provision that
all branches of the government shall be

The identification bureau now main

Gus police departments. 1t is proposed as
soon as the equipment and the financial
support from city and federal govern
ments will permit to gather complete
Bertillon records of American criminals;
finger print records from all cities which
have used that modern means of identlfi-
cation: a rogues' gallery comprising thou
sands of pictures, and a mass of detailed
information and history about the indl-

before has been assembled in this country.
The leading police departments of the
country have long maintained a system
of exchange and cooperation, and with
the aid of their central bureau they have
been able to get Bertillon records by tele

No one unacquainted with the burden
of identifying finger prints. photographs
or criminals themselves can understand
the exactitude with which all records
have to be classified or indeXed before
they become of any to the police
authorities. When Alphonse Bertllon
devised his system of measurements for
the Paris police department, that or
ganiZation had nearly 100000 pictures in
it's rogues' gallery: and it was physically
impossible to identify the majority OF
suspects from those pictures weeks
time was required to search the files for
a single likeness.
BertilIon himself characterized the
scientific police system as one lin which
all the technical information connected
with the man hunt will be brought to-
gether in scientific way.
THE whole work of the police force
hinges upon questions of Identification,
said Bertillon.
The measurements which have made
his name famous, and which are now
used by the entire world, can be SO care
fully indexed that mans record can
be found in few minutes; often in a
single. minute. The records of 100000
criminals can be so skillfllly classified
as to their measurements that the ex-
pert police. officer can turn at once to a
division containing less than twenty-five
cards to find given record or to as
certain whether certain measurements
are contained in the cases.

agencies of the federal government have
been invited to cooperate fully with the
police bureau and to make free use of
its resources. Many foreign countries
have also entered into relations with the
bureau, and the police chiefs of the
United States are now receiving more
confidential information from the police
authorities of the European countries
than at any previous time.
Finger-print records are Of compare
lively recent use. Scotland Yard did not
take up the system until 1901. and it was
used in this country for the first time
shortly after that. Maj. McClaughrey,
former chief of police of Chicago. and
now head of the federal prison at Leav-
cnWOrth, Kan, was the first to make a
systematic use of the method here, and
the government has now a complete rec
ord of finger prints of federal prisoners
at the identification bureau maintained in
the Leavenworth prison.

MIR. Watson and The Jeffersonian

A few years ago when Hon. T. E.
Watson announced that he would
publish two papers, one weekly
and the other monthly, nearly
everybody predicted failure. For
time it did look like the Magazine
could not live. The Weekly soon
seemed to get on a paying basis.
Twas said that Mr.. Watson sunk
many thousand dollars on the Maya
zine before it got on paying basis.
Now, the tide has turned for both
JeffersOnians, and tbs said that the
demand for Mr. Watson's publica-
tons is SO great that they can hardly
supply the demand. Mr.. Watson
certainly improves with age as a
writer. We used to think way back
in the days of Populism that he was
the strongest writer in the whole
country, but his writings now, COM
pared with his writings then, is like
comparing giant with pigmy. For
the last year or two Mr.. Watson has
written with matchless brilliancy,
ability and power. Every page of
