JUSTIFIES TITANIC'S SPEED
Cornell Professor Says Course Of
Officers Was Not Unwise.

Ithaca y. Y, April 26.-Professor
George r. McDermott professor of naval
architecture at Cornell University. has
written TO Chairman Sr.lth of the sen
ate Subcommittee which is investigating
the Titanic disaster. declaring that n
any mistake or bad judgment WAS shown
upon the part of the officers after OBJ
servatiCn of the iceberg il was that the
helm was swung to port, instead Of drlV-
ing the vessel head on To the berg. y
square blow on the bow would have
caused far less damage. he declared
than a glancng blow.
Professor McDermou apparently
thought that the Titanic officers had not
been unwise in steaming at full speed IN
the ice region for he declared that a
large ship Is ordinarily under better con-
troll when going at speed limit than when
moving slowly.
The writer urged that the committee
deal gently with the survivors OF the
disaste He said that in all his ocean
travel Of nearly thirty years he had seen
only one boat on which there had not
been some sort of lifeboat drill at some
time during the voyage.

GETS BABY FINGER PRINTS
Faurot, After Experiment, Sure
Lines Never Change.

An experiment of world wide impor-
tance was made yesterday by Captain
Faurot, head of the Bureau Of Criminal
Identification at Police Headquarters,
when he went to Bellevue Hospital took
the finger prints of two weeks old
baby, and found them just as charac-
teristic and distinct as those of an adult
person at any age.
A large company Of physicians and po-
lice officials was present and saw the
experiment performed. Captain Faurot
Is now positively certain not only that
there are no two sets Of finger prints
alike in the world. but that those made
by a baby at the time of It's birth will
remain his peculiar property until the
day of his death. Captain Faurot sug-
gests that the finger print system has
by this experiment been proved of the
utmost practical value. not only in the
Identification OF criminals. but In the
identification Of persons for any purpose
whatsoever.
He predicts that it will soon be in use
in every police department. hospital,
bank and business house, and that coun-
tries where the passport system Is in
vogue may safely shift to the finger
print system.
The captain suggests that the system
be put into use I'm New York in all ma
ternity hospitals as an instant and effec-
tive identification of future citizens.

URGES DRINKERS LICENSES
Hepburn Suggests Permits for

IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. April GA novel method
of regulating drinking was suggested
by Senator Hepburn to-day. when the
excise bill for the District of Columbia
was under consideration in the Senate.
He proposed that, instead Of licensing
the saloons. Congress should provide for
issuing licenses to drinkers. This, he
said would do away with the treating
habit. the worst feature OF the drink
problem.
Too much attention, Senator Hepburn
insisted, was being directed to the
saIoonkeepers and too little to the men
who patronize the saloons. Ninety per
cent of the bartenders and managers Of
saloons and distilleries do not drink at

license be issued for a small fee and
be non-transferable.

Roosevelt's Charge That He Is

sponse-Cbeered When He
Asks if Misrepresenta-

President Taft renewed his attack on
Theodore Roosevelt last night. speaking
this time to an audience of nearly seven
thousand persons in the 1st Regiment
Armory in Newark.
And every minute he was encouraged
to go on and soak it to him.
This was especially true when the
President told why he was replying 10
the bitter attacks of Mr.. Roosevelt

No Respect for Legal Processes.


ii YOU break down this tradition, 4
man with such charming and intense
personality as Theodore Roosevelt would
have no difficulty i'm creating the same
necessity every four years For a man
who is in his nature so impatient of
constitutional restrictions and lacks re-
spect for due legal processes, If is not
safe TO break down this valuable tradi-
ton Is there such necessity that you
are willing to run the risk forbade by
Washington and jefferson and Jackson?
Can YOU not get along with some one
else. and not require n man with such a
lack Of respect for constitutional prin-
ciples?"
The President was inadvertently in
troduCed by job Hedges out of the pre-
pared order. Mr.. Hedges was nearing
the end Of his speech and was explain
ing to the President that These Ghe
audience were not the minions OF

of oligarchy. These are the real thing
and they are waiting for you
ence was waiting for. They got on their
feet and then on the chairs, and cheered
and waved flags and threw their hats in
the air. and demanded the President Mr..
Taft wanted Mr.. Hedges to finish his
speech. but the audience would not have
it so. Then the chairman tried to make
"A set introduction, but the people would
not have him, either. They demanded
the President, and would not cease their
cheers and calls for him until he came
to the front of the platform and signed
that he was ready to talk.
Taft Denies He Is an OIisarch.
He referred briefly TO many or Mr..
Roosevelts charges. including his al
legged friendship for Senator Lorimer, or
Illinois, and for the bosses in other
states, and denied heatedly that he was
an oligarch, as Colonel Roosevelt had
charged.
1.-The thing that sinks deepest into my
heart" said Mr.. Taft, "is the charge that
/ am an oligarch and do not believe in
the ability Of the American people to
govern themselves. If there is anything
Of which I am proud It is that / am an
American citizen and a part OF the
American government, that has shown
itself the finest and the best and the
most beneficial In the world"
Taking up the charge that he was not
a progressive, the President said he did
not think a progressive could be Judged
by his looks or his appreciation of
poetry.
When the President said he believed
that "progressiveness is determined by
what is done and not by what is said"
the audience interrupted him by pro-
longed cheering.
He cited numerous instances In which
he said his :; ords and meaning had beeii
distorted by Colonel Roosevelt, each
time winding up his argument by inquir-
ing "Is that a square deal?" and never
failed to evoke a storm Of cheers
