THUMB TESTS FOR BABIES
New York Officials VIII Take Finger

New York Officials VIII Take Finger
Prints of Al Foundiings &
A baby's finger prints, It has been
determined by Captain Faurot, of the
Police Bureau Of Identification, are just
as distinctive and clearly marked a.
they will be at any time after the baby
has reached maturity. This decision
has been Reached BY the police Menti
fication, expert after considerable stu
dy OF youthful ,digital imprints. He
tried to pursue his investigation al
Bellevue Hospital but was not per
mitted.
Captain Faurot has taken finger
prints Of small children. and after re
producing the Impressions on cards
has subjected them to careful micro
scopical analysis! He finds that the
peculiar lineations are sharp and dis
tinctiye, even though very tiny, and
he believes that from the day of its
birth to the day Of Its death any child
can be identified by its finger prints
Experimenters in England and Con
tinental Europe, where the finger print
science was developed earlier than II
was in America, have shown by finger
prints taken at intervals of years that
an individuals finger marks never
change. Faurot thinks 1t would be
good to put his system into use in
the city's maternity hospitals. Many
OF the children are the offspring oi
criminal parents, and many develop
into criminals. Faurot suggests that
taking their finger prints would help
the police later In tracing these chill
dren.
Such a system would be OF the high
est scientific value, he thinks. 1t would
enable the authorities to determine
what proportion OF those arrested for
crime were born In city institutions
Records of the parents would throw
light on the children's antecedents and
would go far toward showing the rela
tiOns. between crime and heredity and
environment. h might also help to
throw light on the matter of sterilix'
ing criminals.
Finger-print Identification, or rather
the use Of such Identification, Captain
Faurot thinks, IL In its infancy. He
believes that when the science Is
more generally understood It will be
adopted widely in business. Bank

sconding bank employee would be
greatly facilitated II the police had that

TEXAS
Merchants Celebrate Raising
Of Railway Fond

San Antonio, Tex, July 25-The
Chamber of Commerce of this city
celebrated late last week at luncheon
in the Gunter hotel the raising of q
$250O0O cash bonus for the building
Of the San Antonio, Rockport & Mexi
can railway. What may be accom-
plished by energy and activity has
been shown by members of the Cham
ber Of Commerce, who have raised this
year in subscriptions from the citizens
$l15,O00 cash bonus for the San An
tonic, Uvalde & Gulf railroad, $3.50,
900 for the Chamber of Commerce and
$25O,0OO bonus for the San Antonio
ROckport &c Mexican railroad.
The year 1912 will be remembered In
San Antonio as one of the greatest In
its history. First in importance was
the amalgamati0n of all the civic or
ganizations into the Chamber Of Com
merce, making 1t the largest in the
South and almost the second largest
in the country. Hardly had this been
accomplished before the members were
called on to raise the bonus for the
San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf railway
now being constructed between San
Antonio and point on the gulf coast
near Arkansas harbOr, the new deer
water port for this city, which. being
100 miles closer than Galveston. will
effect large saving in freight rates
Immediately afterward, in cam
paign lasting four weeks, 100000 was
raised for the support and mainten
ance of the Chamber OF Commerce, re
sulting also in noticeable increase In
civic pride and harmony, which al
ready has attracted much favorable no
tice for San Antonio.
About two weeks ago the campaign
to raise the bonus of $250,000 for the
San Antonio, ROckpOrt & Mexican rail
way was begun. Increasing in interest
and intensity as 1t progressed, the com
pletion of 1t caused rejoicing through
out the city. The campaign was be
gun among the banks. jobbing houses
and larger property owners, extended
to the retail trade and finally the popu
lar demand to contribute to the fund
resulted In subscriptions from small
property owners and wage earners.
