BATH HOUSE FOR
THIRD WARD IS
AGAIN Hello UP
Finance Committee of Council
Wants More Information
Regarding Project.

Having run the gauntlet Of the Board
OF Works after repeated trials, the plan
to construct a bathhouse in the Third
ward at a cost of $125, 900 was held up
by the finance committee Of the Com
mon Council last night. The snag may
not, however, result in the abandon
ment of the idea, as the committee de-
cided to hold 1t over for the purpose
OF learning more about the plans Of
the proposed bathhouse before author
izing the issue OF bonds for the build
ing.
Opposition to authorizing the bonds
on h meagre particulars furnished by
the of Works was led by Alder
man Congleton. Mr.. Congleton wants
to be assured that there will be no
pool in the bathhouse before voting for
the measure, as he believes bathing
pools to be u%nsanitary.
An issue of 500. 900 watershed bonds
was authorized.
An additional fire engine-house for
Forest Hill, requested by residents of
that section Of the city, is among the
matters which will be taken UP by the
committee when the annual budget is
made UP.
There wal some discussion on the
matter las night, property at Verona
and Highland avenues. which could be
purchased for $12, 900, being mentioned
as q desirable site. Alderman Whit
field opposed buying this site on the
grounds that other centrally located
sites in tina section could be bought
for less money.

CHINA,s STRONG MAN
Grave Doubt that His Appointment as Dictator Comes in Time to End
 the Rebellion

Pekin, Oct. 2S-In the foreign lega- tfons, here, grave doubt is expressed that the l1th hour appointment o1 Yuan Shi Kai to a practical dictator ship will be sufficient to put an end to the rebellion that is sweeping over China.
 Tn the first place, there are many who do not believe that China's strong man really will make determined ef- forts to stamp out the rebellion if he can gain anything for htrnsef by fos- tering insurrection. s sFs
 Then. too, the orderliness with which the revolution has been handled has impressed the Chinese people most favorably and should Hankow fall in the approaching battle, it is believed no power can stop the spirit of re- volt That the imperial government real izes the gravity of the situation is posed on Yuan Shi Kai after he had once been degraded and driven from court.

 General Feng Kui Chang has been appointed to take command of the imperial forces in the field while Gen. eral Yuan Chi will command the strong corps now mobilizing. Both these generals are staunch supporters of Yuan Shi Kai
 All of Yuan Shi Kai's preliminary steps indicate he expects to temporize with the rebels. Many believe he will even make terms with them which than to the Manchu dynasty. Yuan Shi Kai notoriously hated the Manchu rulers and the fact that he was call- ed upon to aid them was simply their resort to the last desperate measures.

NEW BERT|lLON
 SYSTEM PROVES
 WORTH AT ONCE
Establishes Identity and Previous Record of Color ed Woman Crook Captur- ed Here.

Although in effect but a short time, the new Bertillon system at police headquarters under the supervision of O1icer George Haux, has already proved its worth and today it estab- 1ished the identity and showed the rec ord of . clever woman crook captured here a few days ago.
 The woman in question gave the name Of viven Walker when arrested a few nights ago in company with another c0lored woman, for attempt dug to rob a white man of $8O which was lifted from his pocket The money was found in front of police headquarters by Special Officer Ger mond, having been dropped during a scu6le between the two women and their intended victim
 Today Officer Haux through his Ber- tillon measurement, photographs and singer prints of the woman, establish ed her real identity and police record in New Haven.
 Her name is Alice Jones and she has served time" for serious offences, in- clud1ng q propensity toward light fin gered pickpocketing.
 On July 6, 1910, she was sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Gager, for theft of $52 from Antonia Pirano. On Feb. II, 1911, she was sentenced to 50 days in jail for breach of the peace and carrying concealed weapons.
 The Bertillon measurements were the means of identifying her. She is now serving jail sentence of 30 days. Her companion is held for trial before the Superior court.
