TIED UP BY GAYNoR RULING
Whitman Handicapped, Says j. A.
Delehanty, His Aid.

Assistant District Attorney J. A. Dele
hanty talked to eighty-flve members OF
the West Side branch Of the Young Mems
Christian Association yesterday afternoon
on THE Rules Of Evidence" as applied to
cases handled by the Police Department.
The speaker dwelt upon the fact that
In the old days Identification was not so
difficult as now lie said that, for in
stance, IT was then the rule 10 photograph
prisoner and take his finger print i'm
pressions Immediately after his arrest, and
this often proved invaluable to the prose-
cution. Since Mayor GaynOr's ruling that
a man suspected of crime must not be
photographed or have the imprint Of his
fingers taken until he had been proven
guilty the District Attorney had been han
dicapped, for he was often not able TO
ascertain until after the case came up
for trial whether or not the man had a
previous criminal record.
In this way, said Mr.. Delehanty, the
prosecuting attorney had his hands tied
and was unable to produce evidence In
time TO be of avail.

Baltimore, Oct. 20-Joseph Whitney.
president Of the Merchants and Miners
Steamship Company, stated to-day
that he had received word from Cap
tain Hart that all the passengers
aboard the steamer Berkshire, bound
from Savannah to Philadelphia, which
is on fire about forty-three miles north
east Of Cape Lookout, were safe aboard
the steamer and that the fire. confined
10 the forward hold, was under control.
At the company's main Offices In this
city only few short messages had
been received from Captain Hart.
The fire. according to dispatches from
special correspondents, was discovered
about midnight In the lower forward
hold. The Berkshire was then some
distance from the coast, rolling and
tossing and making only fair Roadway
against the head winds. When the fire
was reported to the captain he real
lied Immediately the necessity Of get
ting 10 shore as quickly as possible.
Ordering all the matches battened down,
he had the wireless operator send out
the distress call, and Immediately
turned the ships nose toward the
slight harbor back Of Cape Lookout, to
which mariners give the name Lookout
Cove.
Three vessels answered the call al
most Immediately. They were the Gre
tan, Of the same line, which left Balti-
more on Friday evening for Savannah;
the Apache of the clyde Line, and an
other vessel Of whose identity the off,
Gals here are not certain.
The Apache was the nearest vessel
and soon came in sight Of the burning
liner. The Cretan followed, and both
stood by to offer what assistance they
could. It was o'clock when the
Apache reached the side Of the Berk-
shire. Two hours later the vessel
dropped anchor in the less turbulen.

Immediately behind her.
The men passengers worked with the
| crew in subduing the flames and in
preventing the fire from spreading. A
| late dispatch said the steamer was not
seriously damaged. For a time the
women passengers were alarmed, but
confidence was soon restored.
The Merchants and Miners has been
particularly unfortunate in the last
year or 50, several vessels having been
destroyed or badly injured. The Nam
tucket was the last vessel to be burned.
On September 2 she took fire at her
pier at Locust Point and sank. The
