TO IDENTIFY BY
VEINS IN HAND.
Padua Professor Works Out New
System Which He Claims
Is InfaIlible
SIMPLIFIES BERTILL0N PLAN
New York Police Department viii
Give the New Method a
Thorough Test
BERTILLoN PLAN
(AsaocIated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A new meth
cd Of Identification of persons, crimi-
nal or otherwise, more simple than
the Bertillon system, but equally in
fallible, is to be tested by the New
York police department. The method,
developed by Prof. Tamassla of the
University of Padua, is based on the
popularity of the pattern of veins on
the back Of the hand.
The arrangement of the veins on the
back of the hand, Prof. Tamassia
claims is so characteristic of the in
divided that it is not the same in
any two persons, and therefore con-
stitutes the best known means of
identification. The general appearance
of the veins undergoes no change with
increasing age, and they cannot be
altered purposely without lnflicting
serious mutilation.
To obtain such a report, photographs
are taken of the arm, slightly bent,
and the lines are marked with dark
pigment. The Veins then show very
conspicuoucly in the photograph.
Chief Inspector Russell of the New
York police department says of the
Tamassia method:
"Its simplicity, infallibility, and,
most of all the fact that it cannot be
destroyed or altered and is not affected
by age, makes it especially valuable
to the police for the Identification of
criminals. Many measurements of the
Bertillon system are affected by age,
and the thumb and finger lines may
be altered by manual labor. If the
system of Prof. Tamassia is all that
he asserts, the police department will
do we'll to adopt It,"

BURBANK'S WORK MOST
APPRECIATED IN EUROPE
Russian Agriculturist Pays High
Tribute to Wizard

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-The
work of Luther Burbank the famous
breeder of plants, is more appreciated
In Europe than in America, If the OBJ
servation of Edmund Seateskl, the
Russian agriculturist, is correct. In
an interview published here Seateski
says:
"It was not long ago that Europeans
thought they were the only farmers
that could produce new species of vege-
tables and grains, but in recent years
our eyes have been opened to the fact
that America has taken the lead as an
agricultural country. Californias prod
ucts are widely known in Europe, and
your seeds are in general use there
We have profound respect for Luther
Burbank; in fact, 1 believe we of
Europe appreciate him more than you
do. Some of his plants are now~under
going tests at the great nurseries at
Niemieroze."
Seateski, who is known to American
agriculturists as the originator of one
of the most successful varieties of oats
for dry farming, is here on his way to
Burbank's estate at Santa Rosa.

FROHMAN TO URGE SUNDAY
PLAYS WITH MORAL LESSON
Theatrical Man to Ask Modifica-
tiIon of New York State Law

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Charles F'roh-
man, who has hitherto been notable
among theatrical men as a stout op-
ponent of Sunday theaters, has an
nounced that he is planning a cam
paign to obtain modification of the
New York state law prohibiting dra-
matte productions Sundays. tie ex-
plains that his scheme is no way out
of harmony with his previous policy,
but that in common with a number of
prominent social workers, particular
" Jane Adams of Hull House, he
feels that the church is not success
fully coping with moral and ethical
problems.
He asserts that people are, however,
perfectly willing to be preached to,
provided that they can at the same
time be amused.
Mr. Frohman proposes, therefore, to
ask for the passage of a law allowing
the presentation of plays on Sunday
that have a sound moral lesson and
suggests that these plays be chosen in
each community by an appointed COM
mittee of citizens who have been iden-
titled with humanitarian projects and
that the strictest civic supervision be
exercised over the productions.
