Chinese Servants.

The servants in a Chinese family
are not expensive, so far as wages are
concerned, but they cost a great deal
In perquisites. They rarely receive
more than two dollars month, but
they are given their food, and they

they may desire. They dress them

TOSSING OF MATCHES

Chief Wagner Urges Greater Caution.
Fire Losses for Year Increase.

eording to the annual report of Fire
Chief F. ]. Wagner and Fire Marshal
Nicholson. fled with the District Com
nissioners yesterday.
The increase is due to the disastrous
Southern Building fire, which entailed a
loss Of $4,000. The estimated loss from
fires totaled s444,s25 and was covered by
an insurance fund of 6,1S4, 4S7.
A growing tendency toward fire preven-
ton has served to keep the figures down,
In the opinion of the authorities. and the
plan Of having fire prevention days is
commanded.
Chief Wagner reports: THE fire pre-
vention work under supervision Of the
FIRE department has progressed satisiac-
torily. The force available for this work,
however, Is limited; but II Is hoped that
in the near future this branch of the fire
department win be provided with the
force and means necessary to extend its
activities, both by means Of educational
and inspection work.
An increasing number of false alarms
is reported, notwithstanding the vigilance
of the police department. OF 1910 alarms
received, 100 were false, an increase of

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Oct l2-Scientific, analytical
crime detection, or the sort more familiar
in fiction than in real life, is receiving an
important tryout from the police In their
efforts to solve the mystery OF who muir
dered Tillie Brown, an n-year-old school
girl, who, terribly maltreated and dead
of stFangulation, was found yesterday
morning in a dark cellar at 1S4 Monroe
street
Three men are under arrest, charged
with the homicide. Two are Vincenzo di
Stefano and Giuseppe Monteleone, his
partner in a fruit stand. The cellar in
which the child's body was discovered
was rented jointly by the pair, and they
alone. so far as known, had keys open
ing a door to the place where the body
lay.
Inspector Faurot said last evening he
had a rather strong circumstsntiaI- case
against Di Stefano. At the same time
his highest hopes of making certain of
his case rested with the new Central Test
Laboratory.
The child was strangled after an at
tack upon her. Nearly all her ribs were
broken. Tight around her neck was a
strap. For some reason a piece of the
strap had been cut from it and thrown
upon the floor.
When the Italians were arrested. on
each was found a good-sized pocket
knife. These were given to Drs. Klein
and Pacini, who are in charge OF the
laboratory. The idea was this: There
might be in the shaw-teeth of the blade
of one of the knives visible only with a
MICROSCOPIC infinitesimal fragments of
leather. These the chemists could COM
pare with the two portions of the strap.

case would be established against the
