IMPORTANCE OF
FINGER PRINTS
Some Instances That Show
Their Value as Means of
Identification

The value of finger prints as a means
of Identification or detection.
One Of a notorious gang of thieves
had escaped from the Paris police
when, three of, his companions had
been captured; all attempts to discot4
er the missing man proved fruitless
until later man was arrested for theft
at another place. He gave another
name, but the police, suspecting that
the description he gave of himself was
false, took the impression of his finger
prints and forwarded these, together
with the mans description and photo
graph, to the Anthropometrical De-
partment of the Prefecture of Police at
Paris. The finger prints were imme-
diately recognized, and he was identi-
fed as the man who had been wanted
In the Assize Court of Christiana,
Norway, one was convicted Of larceny
on the sole evidence Of the comparison
OF finger prints Of accused with finger
prints found at the scene of the crime
on pane of glass and a bottle.
In Lyons, France, conviction of two
persons Of robbery was had solely on
evidence Of Identification of finger
prints Of accused with prints found on
pole used in effecting entrance to
house, on flower vase and on two
bottles and two jars.
And an equally convincing proof was
offered of the value Of the finger-print
system when it proved the identity of a
dead man. The scattered remains of
this man We're found upon railway
line. and there was no clue whatever
as to his identity. Upon the off chance
OF the victims finger prints being
known at the Scotland Yard the i'm
pressions from his fingers were taken
by the local Superintendent of the Po-
lice and forwarded to headquarters.
where, on reference to the index of
finger prints. they were Immediate
recognized and the identity Of the man
made certain.

GREEK COLONY IN
LONDON OBSERVES
BYRON ANNIVERSARY

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, April 20.-The anniversary
of the death of Lord Byron at Mis-
solonghi in 1924 was this year OBJ
served by the Greek colony in Lon
don with a great patriotic demonStra-
ton. AS is the custom each year. the
only memorial of the poet in London,
the statue behind the residence of the
Duke of Wellington, was richly decor
ated by Greek admirers with lilies and
roses Scattered among the flowers
were several tributes in verse.
A great delegation from the Greek
colony assembled around the statue
during the afternoon and listened to
an address by Prof. Anastase Bats
tatos. ITO us Greeks" said the ora
tor Byron is not so much the great
poet as the hero who devoted his
purse. his pen, his sword. and his
life to the cause of Greece against
Turkish inhumanity." In concluding
thc orator referred to the present war
remarking amid cheers:
To-day there is but one path for
Greece. Duty, honor and gratitude all
point one way. We hope that ere
long we shall hear that our dear coun-
try has thrown off the shackles of
foreign influence and entered her ap-
pointed path with vigor and resolu
ton"

Two Stories

There has been fighting all along the
which the Germans claim to have been
successful. The French. however, have
another story to tell. They insist that
their advance continues both along
the User canal in Flanders and in the
Wolvere. Reports from the bclliger-
ents in the East make it impossible to
judge Of the position there. The Aus
TRANS and Germans tonight say that
the Russians have been badly beaten
in western Gahcia and have commence
ed to retire from the western Carpath-
ians, where as the latest Russian re-
port, while admitting that the Austro-
the Donajec river, declares that they
are checked there.
The country around the East Prus-
sian frontier has been the scene of
battles of more or less importance,
while at the other end of the Russian
line, in Eastern Galicia, the Russians
are attacking the Austro- Germans de-
spite their reported defeat or check
in the western part of that providence.
Athens credits the allies with fur
Their success in their attacks on the
Dardanelles and Smyrna, but the
Turks again report the defeat Of allied
troops landed on the Gallipoli penin-
sula.
The German submarine seemingly
now are devoting their attention to the
British fishing fleet. Fifteen trawlers
have been sunk since Sunday night,
but without any loss Of life.

HEROES Even AMONG
THE STAY-AT-H0MES

ASSOCIATED Press CORRESPONDENCE
Paris, April 15.-Few young or mid
dle-aged men are to be seen in the
provinces of France now, but there
are enough of them promenading the
Paris boulevards to exasperate moth
ers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of
soldiers.
why isn't he at the front?" has
been a constantly growing question:
generally followed by a denunciation
and sometimes resulting in deplorable
incidents.
young actor was Kissed at Lyons
when someone in the audience put
that question. He asked for hear
ing and i'll a choked voice said that
he was obliged to speak Of something
that he had tried for a long time to
ignore himself 1T makes no differ
ence now, though" he said. 1.-THE
doctors give me only six months more
to suffer. It would be great conso-
lation if could spend that time fight
ing for France but in spite Of my sup
plications. they won't have me-"
Many incurables have been obliged
in this way to disclose their secret
sufferings. Many foreigners also, who
passed for French on the boulevards
have declared they were Russian,
English or Belgian. Deputy Henri
CALI Of Paris asked why they were
not serving their respective countries.
The reply was that the Russians were
mostly political refugees who would
be put into prison instead of the
army if they returned, while England
has no obligatory service, and many
Belgians benefited from the old law
under which circumscription was by
lot. Some of them. also, having serv-
ed in the civic guard, or being married
are exempt under existing laws. CALI
remarked that there was nothing to
prevent the English and Belgians
from enlisting in their own armies.
and as for the Russians, there was
room for them in the foreign legion.
The Belgian army has been refusing
to volunteers the privilege of choosing
their regiments and this is supposed
to confirm the report that the Gov
eminent intends by decree to modify
the existing recruiting laws and call
out all physically fit men between the
ages of 10 and 25 married as we'll as
single. No more passports for Holland
are delivered to men in this category
wishing to return to Belgium.

APRIL OUTPUT OF
ANTHRACITE COAL

After three months Of comparatiyely
low production due to the warm weather
OF the latter part of the winter, the out
put OF anthracite was so large last month
that the record for April shipments will
PROBABLY be beaten In April last year
shipments of anthracite were 6.O7o.16,
tons and the record for that month was
made in April. 1910. when 6,224,sss tons
We're shipped.
The big increase in production is due
partly to the April discounts of 30
cents a ton on the domestic sizes of an
thracite, and partly to the opening of the
lake trade. The unusually warm weather
up to the first of April also enabled the
retail dealers to let their stock run low
so that they could take advantage of the
discounts which make d difference of
over nine per cent.
The discount this month will be al cents
2 ton. In June it will be 80 cents a ton IN
July ~ cents a ton. in August 10 cents a
ton. and during the winter months the
domestic sizes Of anthracite sell At tbe
TUT price. This. has been a pract,cal,v

U. S.:4NOT ADVISED
OF "ULTIMATUM'

Washington, May 5.-Secretary Bryan
said today that the United States had
not been advised of the issuance of any
japanese" ultimatum" to China. AS the
state department here is we'll informed
on the progress of the important negotia-
tons in Pekin, this led observers here to
believe that the latest Japanese note
while drastice does not necessarily mark
the conclusion of the negotiations.
In Japanese circles it is believed
that this note will be sufficient to Sc
cure the eventual compliance Of
China with the principal Japanese de-
mands.
In these same quarters, however.
1t is pointed out that it would be too
much to expect the Chinese negotia-
tors to make a complete surrender
without an attempt by President Uu-
an Sal kai and his party leaders to
elicit an expression of opinion from
the great powers interested in China
end to secure moral support from
them.
1t was suggested that this idea
might find expression in note from
President Yuan. directly or through
his secretary of state to the United
States, France and even Germany as
sorting that the Japanese are seeking
to destroy the integrity Of China and
to invade the treaty rights Of these
rations. If the replies received are
unresponsive to this appeal. it is sug-
gested that President Yuan may then
communicate the result of his efforts
to the various viceroys of the great
Chinese provinces and declare that
he finds it necessary to submit with
out display of force.
