The finger print system is said to be lhlalllble, but the professional crins mai often beats the system and does away with his finger print identifica- tlon by using acid upon his finger ups, thus removing the old web and causing a new one to form.
 But the Bertillon system is the nemesis of the criminal and the man who comes in for the first time will give any amour+ to avoid having pho. tograph and measurements taken and the corrupt policeman knows this well. 1t is a fact that although there are thousands of thieves arrested an nually there is a large percentage Of them whose records and pictures are not contained in the bureau of identi- fication. This, of course, is no fault of Capt Evans. The corrupt policeman never takes his coafederates to the gallery as long as he receives his share of the loot"

Chicago July 1S.-A leading attor
 usy of the city, for years on the .n
 side of the vice trust" is aiding the
 press of Chicago in turning the light
 o1 system that has been propogltsd
 sbere for years. The attorney had
 served the trust" and was ordered
 to defend criminal pickpockel. 4e
 befended and freed the man, bur or
 dered him to turn the money back to
 he victim. The pickpocket would
 not do so. The attorney then quit
 the trust"
 '1t has always been mystery
 where and how the attorneys were [upped off so they could be at the
 police station awaiting the arrival Of Zthe plckpocket arrested, ne said q
 gal explain this feature of the sys. l tenn to you.
 "Pckpockets usually travel in {aoups of from two to five. It is i'm ] possible for q policeman to catch all Eof a group at once. Two may he esught and two get away. Under the
 rules of the system it is the duty of l the two who escape to notify the at [lomey for the trust of the arrest. Hospitals are favorite places for Epiokpockets to ply their trade in Chi ago. Many persons go to the has piials on visiting days and usually Ftbey carry some money win them | Ito buy little luXuries for the iHvald or eonyalescent whom they are to I |Yisit
 Away from Chicago and also in |the city there is never a circus but has a pichpocket crew following it. Generally some one connected with the circus gets a rakeoff and the crew usually knows in what town there is Ia 'rigit chief of police or marshal. The operations with the circus are not confined to picking the pockets of the unwary, but the crew has the shell and 'molte' games and the old army game, 'chuck-aluck.'
 Little is known by the general public as to what really happens after the arrest of a thief. He Is first brought to the police station. his name, age, occupation. and nativity taken; he is searched and is given receipt for all articles taken from him.
 Tt is the duty Of a policeman, un- der the rules of the department. to telephone or send word at the re- quest of prisoner to relatives. iflends or others. This rule is disre- sarded in many instances, for to all low this privilege would be to de prEe the lockupkeeper connected With the system of his personal rev Hue.

The train began to move.
Get off yourself, you coward!"

Max eagerly seized his hat and bag.

TRIPLE ANIMAL TRAGEDY
Snow Tells Story Of End Of Hare, Owl
and Fox.

ana = OK.
II was on the edge Of big burn
that we came upon the first chapter OF
that mornings story, written IN the
freshly fallen snow. We were in the
heart of the Canadian Wilderness and
our trap-hne (along which we had set
60 traps, several deadfalls and dozen
poison baits) ran for Is miles through
thick swamps where we baited for
lynx, the fisher cat, mink and ermlne,
and over strips of barren and the
frozen surfaces Of lakes, where we
dropped our strychnine capsules rolled
in deer fat in the hope of capturing
wolf or fox, writes James Oliver Cur
wood in Lesslie's. We had scarcely
left our cabin when my comrade or
that winter in the forests, who wore
short skirts, snow shoes and her hair
in a long braid, called my attention to
the tracks a little distance from the
line of our trail. A big white hare had
started across the burn" shortly after
the snow had ceased falling the previ-
GUS night, and a fox had taken up his
trail.
We always gave up our plans for an
hour or day to pursue these stories
written ir the SNOW" so we followed.
1t was a short story, reminding me IN
its completeness and tragedy OF one OF
Guy de Maupassant's masterpieces.
The hare, probably with the approach
of dawn, was making his way across
the quarter mile open to the opposite
timber, and the fox was after his
breakfast There was no haste on the
part of the fox. His footprints were
close together and the end of his brush
had trailed a smooth grove in the
snow behind him. Cunningly he was
giving his prey plenty of time in which
to snuggle in some warm cover Tor the
day.
But in the edge of the further swamp
another character, was waiting to take
a part in the nature drama. A big
white owl saw the hare-waited-
floated silently up into the gray gloom
of the dawn and then descended like
shot upon it's unsuspecting victim. Ii
was an easy victory. And the feast
was half over when the fox saw move
ment in the snow ahead and slipped
up as quietly as the owl had dropped
from out Of the sky.
The whole story was there when we
came up. Words could not have told
it as it was written in the bloody snow:
The hare had died easiest, but the Owl
had fought Its big head lay dozen
feet from it's crushed and torn carcass;
from which half Of the breast had
been eaten. All of the hare was gone
but it's head and feet and fur. After
the fight and the feast the fox had
continued on into the swamp. The day
after this we found a poison bait miss
ing from a snow pyramid we had built
in the middle of a small lake. We fol-
lowed the tracks and found dead fox
half a mile away The lady insists
this was the real ending of that story
in the snow.

Gen. Mas replied that compliance
was impossible and asked the consul
for a personal parley.
The consul informed Gen. Mas that
he had no instructions to grant a par
ley and ended the conversation. He
then called the jefe politico and the
customs collector by telephone and in

in the maintenance Of peace. Neither
could promise assistance.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, aboard the

Fletcher decided to act and marines
