 THE PRICE OF PEACE.
Rebel Commander-in Chief Says He
 Must Follow Diaz.

Chihuhua, Mexico March S. via Fl Paso, Texas.-The vanguard of the in- surrecto army here departed for the south by train today It was the real beginning of the campaign against the City of Mexico, although the .imnedi ate destination of the column was an nounced as Jiminez, half way between here and TorTeon
 Six bridges between here and Jim inez must be repaired by the troops as they proceed, and it is thought that the trip will require at least two days. There were about 800 men in the de tachment. This leaves a thousand men here, but General Orozco states that recruits are joining him in crowds.

SHORT CALENDAR MATTERS
 IN SUPREME COURT
Want Another Verdict Set Aside
 Judge Reserves Decision,

Attorney William A. Briscoe, repre- senting the defendants, asked Judge Shumway at the short calendar ses- sion of the superior court at New Lon don Friday to set the verdict aside and grant Q new trial. Claiming that the jury arrived at the verdict of s2,480 in the ctse of Frederick II. Harris vs Angus Mcdonald and others, by con- sideratiOn of interjected testimony that the court struck out but which remained impressed upon the minds of the jury. He reserved decision.
 Attorney Briscoe argued that there was presumption on the part of the plaintiff as to what the evidence of a witness, who could not be found, would have teen had he been on hand to testify. He also argued that Harris accident was due in part to his own negligence and he claimed that the statement of the plaintiff that his earning capacity was lessened 70 per cent. was exaggerated.
 Major Hadlai A. HSll said that the verdict of $2,840 was not exorbitant. and in support of the statement he pointed to the fact that Harris loss of wages to the amount of approxi- mately $500 and his doctors bill of S140 totaled one-half the entire yer
 
 pensate Harris for the loss he is to sustain for the balance of his life.
 Major Hull also claimed that it was entirely the fault of the contractors that the staging was defective and that 1t collapsed, and that his client was net responsible for it's condition in any way.

BeIasco's FIoWery Apology.

David Belasco, who bows with such
modesty before the curtain calls that
greet the presentation Of his dramat-
ic successes, occasionally loses his
temper during rehearsals of plays,
and when he gets angry he does the
thing up brown. For the time being,
there isn't peaceful thought in his
fertile brain. When he began the
rehearsals of "Sweet Kitty Bellairs,"
Miss Henrietta Crossman, the star of
the piece, warned him that he must
not scold her.
A few days before the first public
production, however, Belasco broke
out in one of his fine tempers, and
Miss Crosman, with head in the air,
left the stage and the theater. She
was walking rapidly up the street
when she heard the rush of footsteps
behind her. Turning around, she saw
che manager, with his arms full Of
flowers. These he held out to her
imploringly.
This tribute effected reconcilia-
ton. On the way back to the theater
the star noticed flower stand conf
pletely denuded of it's stock. BeIasco
in his pursuit of the fleeing actress,
had bought all the flowers in sight

FINGER PRINTS TELL TALES
Absolute Identification Certain When
the Practlced Sleuth Takes Up
the Trail.

Many years ago Mark Twain, In
his delightful story of "Puddin' Head
Wilson," declared that every mans
identity, and often, even his destiny,
is always on his finger tips. Twice
on one day this has been recognized
in different parts of the country. 1t
was found that the men who used
launch for the purpose of taking dyna-
mite from the Giant powder works
were not the McNamaras. Several
finger prints completely exploded the
theory. They are, however, the tracks
by which others may be overtaken.
There could be no doubt that ed
gar R. Jay" arrested in st. Louis for
forgery a week after he had mar
ried, is Jay Gould Hay, alias Jay
Gould, alias julie Lee. He can not
escape the identity of his finger prints
at the Indiana and Missouri reforma-
tories.
It was only last year that there
were two remarkable warnings to the
criminal class to wear gloves. Charles
Crispi was arrested and convicted for
burglary in New York solely because
he left behind on window glass four
finger marks. They were only few
hairline etchings, but they singled out
of millions of people the only one
who could have made them. 1t was
difficult to obtain a jury that would
convict on finger print evidence alone,
but when it was shown that there is
only one chance in sixty-four billions
that two finger prints will be alike,
that there was no great likelihood of
any two of the 1,600,00000O people
now on the earth being able to make
the same finger markings, the prison
er gave up. Again, in New York, was
the remarkable case growing out of
the murder of Isaac Vogel, an timer
ate jewel broker. 1t was single i'm
print of finger on silver cigarette
case that led to the arrest of Joseph
Roberts.
Thus far finger print evidence is
associated in the public mind with
criminology. But the day may come
when people registering to vote will
be required to press their thumb
down next to their names. Philadel
ph& reformers, who are battling
against the floater and duplicate vot-
ing system, advocate it. They insist
that it is only step beyond requiring
the voter to write his name at regis
tration and again-by the side of the
first signature-when he comes to
vote. 1t is thought the finger print
would stop fioaters.

And as she went down came

Women, horror-stricken, tried
to jump overheard. They had to
be forcibly restrained. Others
fell back unconscious. Many were
rowed to the scene Of the wreck.
There was mass of floating

man, powerful Of frame, was
found with blood pouring from
his ears and mouth.

He was still alive but as he was
dragged aboard he died. The

Major Archie Butt. His body was
quickly put over the side.
Then came the awful wait.
Most of those on the boats did
not know that the Carpathia had
heard the last frantic appeal for
help and was rushing through the
ice fields, piloted by brave Capt.
Rostron, at faster rate of speed
than she was compelled to make
on her trial trip.
But with the daylight, the sur

Ice efilds and with the storm
plainly approaching, saw the
