~ ERTILLON Is a name known
and feared by lawbreakers the
world over. His wonderful
system of identifying criminals
by means Of measurements proved to
be so successful in Paris that all other
continental countries adopted it. and
now he has invented dynamometric
apparatus intended for the detection
of burglaries. The apparatus will reg
lister the expenditure of muscular eff.
fort during burglary and will thus,
he claims. make it possible for the po-
lice to reconstitute with sufficient ex
actitude the scene during the burglary.
1t is stated that the invention is so
delicately adjusted that it will be pos
sible to discover whether a robbery
has been committed by man. wo-

His immediate activities are centered
in the large undertaking esta blishment
which he conducts In Chattanooga.
But besides this establishment he has
large real estate interests. owning
more than fifteen houses and lots aud

Mr.. Franklin has n large force OF

IL Is well TO call attention to the fact
