1000 RAlLROADERS
ON STRIKE IN TEXAS
Question of Representation
Said to Be Issue Between
Strikers and Roads

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept 5.-More than
1000 men, including about 800 in Houston,
and involving both the Texas and New
Orleans and the Galveston, Harrisburg
and San Antonio railroads. went on
strike Saturday afternoon, according to
reports today. These include all car re-
pairers and builders, checkers and inspec-
tors, all of whom are striking for rep
resentation.
The shop forces, probably will be badly
crippled, while both roads already are
suffering from having their traffic handi-
capped.
The inspection in the Houston yards
was done today by officials of both lines,
the inspectors having quit Saturday. In
Houston last night it was learned that
men have left the shops on all divisions
of the lines from New Orleans to Ell
Paso Shops are located at Houston La
fayette, Algiers, Beaumont, Galveston
and El Paso, more than 1000 men being
employed in all.
Houston is the central point for the
strikers and about geo are employed in
the local shops. How many of these
are out will not be learned until to-
morrow.
The men walked out Saturday after
noon, a question Of representation being
the issue. The trouble is said to have
originated several days ago when the
Southern Pacific discharged about 30 OF
its employees In the new car shops at
Lafayette, La., the men being discharged
over the question of contract. The men
have demanded a contract and recognition
OF their union seniority in employment.

COL. ROOSEVELT LAYS
CORNER Stone At FARGO
Former President Is Compared
to Abraham Lincoln and
p George Washington

FARGO. Sept. 5-Colonei Roosevelt to-
day laid the cornerstone OF a library
building for the Fargo college, money
for which was subscribed by Andrew
Carnegie
Governor Burke. Of North Dakota,
snplze In complimentary terms of Colonel
Roosevelt. as did Representative Hanna,
who declared:
1T is men like Abraham Lincoln, Gen.
eral Washington and Theodore Roosevelt
that young Americans will look up to in
the future. The lives Of such men are
a great inspiration"
President X. C. C. Creager. of Fargo
college. declared that Il Colonel Roosevelt
would stay In North Dakota the people
would make you our king" 1t was, he
said North Dakota that had made Roose-
Welt president, because had he not lived
on the cattle ranch there, there would
have been no Rough Rider regiment and
the events that followed Roosevelt's
career in that regiment would not have
taken place.
Received with great enthusiasm by
thousands of people crowoeu about the
new library site and looking on from
the windows, Colonel Roosevelt spoke at
some length on educational and economic
questions and on the events of his own
life.
Il never would have been president
had it not been for my experience in
North Dakota" he said, referring to the
remarks of President Creager. II do not
care a rap for holding an Office. What
care for is what the man does while
he is in Office. When l met some of
those who were with me on the Dakota
ranch in this city, they remarked that
they did not object TO working with me
because L did my share of the work "

TO IDENTIFY CRIMINALS
WILL TRY NEW METHOD

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.--A new method
Of Identification Of persons, criminal OF
otherwise, more simple than the ber-
tillion system, but equally infallible. is
to be tested by the New York police
department The method. developed by
Professor Tamassia, of the University
of Padua, is based on the popularity OF
the pattern of the veins on the back
of the hand.
The ARRANGEMENT of the veins on the
back Of the hand" Professor Tamassia
continued, lis SO characteristic Of the
individual that 1t is not the same in
any two persons and therefore consti-
tutes the best known means of identif-
cation. The general appearance of the
veins undergoes no change with IN
creased age and they cannot be altered
purposely without inhicting serious
mutilation."
To obtain such a photograph Of the
vein patterns, the arms are slightly
bent and the veins marked with dark
pigment The veins then show very
conspicuously in the photograph.
Chief Inspector Russell, Of the New
York police department, says of the
Tamassia method:
Its simplicity, infallibilty and, most
of all, the fact that it cannot be de-
stroyed or altered and is not changed
by age makes it especially valuable
to the police for Identification of cr1ml-
nails. Many measurements by the Ber-
tiIlfon system are affected by age aud
the thumb and finger lines may be al
tered by manual labor. If the system
of Professor Tamassia is all that he
asserts. the police department will do
well to adopt it."

fact that the Y. w. c. 4. used the park
Tuesday night for the purpose of sell

discontinued.

gave permission TO the y w c. A. to
sell ice cream there and no permission

girls ran about among the pepole gath

their noise interfered with the music.
Then the Y. w. c.. a. tackled banners
up on the bandstand and left them
there.
"Of course this will not affect the
proposed Fourth of July celebration and
the sacred service to be held on July
third by the churches; that is an en-
tirely different matter and is an espe-
cial occasion when they shall be per
mitted to hold their services, but at
all other times it must be used by none
other than the city itself
Mabel K. Stafford. general secretary
of the \. w c. A, stated Thursday that
mayor ]. F. Robinson had given the
association permission to sell ice cream
at the band concert Tuesday evening.
This permission was obtained three
weeks a go from the mayor" Miss Stat
ford said. "As for the banners being
left up on the stand after the concert,
We were too busy Wednesday morning
to remove them but one of the mem
bers was to have taken them down at
noon and I was under the impression
that they were removed at that time"
