ON SUBMARINE BOATS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O-As mea-
sure of protection for human life in
cases Of accident in submarine boats
of the United States navy, the navy
department has decided to designate a
board to investigate the whole matter.

submarine boats with oxygen helmets
and the installation of apparatus cap
able of generating that life sustaining
fluid on board such vessels would re
suit in the saving of many lives. Tests
made on the submarine boat Octopus
demonstrated that fourteen men could
remain confined an entire day without
fresh air BY purifying the air with
chemicals, such as peroxide of sodium
and potassium, it is thought that life

FIND MAN GUILTY
BY FINGER PRINTS
Conviction of Negro in Chicago Is
First of Kind in History
of the Country

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Marking the
first conviction on finger tip evidence
in the history of this country, Thomas
Jennings, a negro, was today found
guilty by a jury in the criminal court
of the murder of Clarence A. Hitler on
the night of September 10.
The jurors felt so confident of the
guilt of Jennings that the first ballot
resulted in a unanimous conviction,
with eleven of the jurors demanding
the death penalty. On the third bal
lot the death sentence was made unan-
imous.
Counsel for Jennings asked for a new
trial on the grounds that the finger
print evidence should not have been
allowed. AS a result it is probable
the supreme court will be asked 10
rule on the use of such evidence in
criminal cases.
HAND MARKS ON PAINT
Judge Kavanagh, who presided at
the trial, declared when objection was
first made to the evidence presented
bv the state that in his opinion the
murderer of Hitler wrote his signature
when he rested his hand on freshly
painted porch railing at the Hitler
home.
Following the murder of Hitler, this
porch railing was sawed off and ta-
ken to detective headquarters, where
photographs were made of the finger
prints. These photographs We're en-
larged and following Jennings arrest
were compared with new imprints of
his left hand made at the police bu-
reau of Identification. Finger print
experts tetsifed at the trial that there
were thirty-three points of similarity
on the first three fingers of the left
hand of the murderer of Hitler and
that of Jennings.
SHOOTING OF CHIEF CLERK
Hitler, who was chief clerk in the
Chicago offices of the Rock Island rail
road, was shot in the front hall of his
residence at Washington Heights, ILL.,,
by a negro burglar. Hitler had en-
countered the burglar in an upper hall.
The two grappled and fought their
way down a stairway to the first floor.
When the police began the investiSa-
ton it was only known that negro
had killed Hitler. Jennings was ar
rested less than half an hour after the
shooting at a point three quarters of
a. mile from the Hitler house, where
he had boarded an electric car bound
for Chicago Detectives who were sent
to the Hitler homo Immediately after
the murder found the hand imprint
on the porch railing.

business men in and about the market
have been complaining OF the disorderiy

Investigation made OF the conditions OF

holders. His order OF yesterday rsvoking
the permits Of thirty seven SHAREHOLDERS
for sixty-two stands is n result.
II was explained in the Comptroller Q
office that the larger number OF the per-
mits which had been revoked related
to the sidewalk stands running AROUND
the outside walls OF the market. Many
of the holders OF inside permits have ha .
these transferred to allow the openlh2
OF stalls on the outside OF the building
