READING THE HAND.

Characters In Their Palms.

A French savunt contends that the
murderer has distinctive hand. His
face may not be hideous, but the
hands are and are self condemnatOry.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty and rests upon the investi-
cations Of the French crilninologists;
but. as to the former. 1t is u fact that
some OF the most brutal murders on
record have been perpetrated'by men
whose cOunteRances hnbitnally wore a
very mild expression.
Deeming was pleasant man to
speak to until crossed. but some Of the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer.
The true ballheaded thumb gives to
the first phalange n round, dubious ap-
pearance. 1t is short, aud the nail is
50 abbreviated as to suggest that 1t
has been gnawed. 1t Is embedded in
the tiesh. which rises on either side
and beyond 1t.

 BE READY BY JULY

With the completion of the Southern New England Telephone Co.'S new building on Elm street, as an exten- sion to the present exchange fronting on Fairfield avenue, which it is now expected by the officials of the com pany will be turned over during July Bridgeport will have a greatly en- larged and perfected system.
 Not only will the number of city lines be greatly increasud, but the ad- ditiona1 switchboard facilities will be such as to reduce the present burden upon individual operators. In the ap- paratus now being rushed to compile tion, the same number of calls will be available in multiple to each operator but the load of business received by the individual girl at this time will be by a greater force of opera tors and a smaller number of incom- ing wires to each unit.
 In Sreparation for July scores of girls are now being schodged in this city and will be ready for the work when installation of the boards has been completed. This wiring, which is most intricate, will be done by large of men especially brought to this city for the purpose.
 The building wilI afford one of the best structures in the state, housing the exchange, plant and business forces. An additional exchange will. it is expected, be completed at Strat- ford with equal celerity

thanks to this cordial cooperation of the greater and lesser wheels, worked very quickly, and the company was soon able to conclude a contract whereby the Western Union could pro- cure for its boys all the new tires they would need at figure far below the present market pjrice paid by the boys. The Western Union was to fur nish the tires to it's boys at cost, plus only the freight fTom the factory to the company's deports, making no charge or handling and accounting. On the other hand, assurance was giv- en that the tires would not be sold under this arrangement to any except messenger boys of the Western Union for their own use.
 The importance of the saving thus effected for the boys becomes appar- ent when it is borne in mind that the boys sometimes require as many as six new tire replacements a year.
 Notices announcing the new ar engagement and calling the attention of the messenger boys to the advantages of this wholesale purchasing through the company have been sent to it's of fees throughout the country.

 But in my Judgment he said, stI1e majority of Republicans in the middle west do not favor his nomination at the present time. Justice Hughes is also very strong in the middle west.

T. R.'S PROCLAMATION
 FAILS TO MOVE THEM

Theodore Rooseve1t's proclamation upon hurling, his hat into the ring aroused no enthusiasm among the Re- publican party leaders in New York. Yesterday they simply refused to comment. This was true, at least. of Charles D. FIi11es.1 chairman of the National Committee; William Barnes, National Committeeman from this state, and Frederick c. Tanner, chair man of the State Committee.
 George W. Perkins, the Bull Moose angel. was not quite so reticent. He said:
 eThe co1oneTs statement is an ann- Trinidad Nobody can find any fault with it, certainly. Where is the American who could not subscribe to what the colonel said %
 While MT. Tanner would not talk about the colonel, he did say:
 tI wish to deny the statement pur- porting to come from me, that Judge Hughes should announce his candi- :dacy. In fact, do not hold this opinion and made no statement what eyer.''
 Notwithstanding the attitude of MT Tanner there is an element in the Republican party in this state which will do it's utmost in the near future to get Justice Hughes on record
 Another faction of the party. which includes MT Tanner, is marking time in sthe belief that Justice Hughes will announce that he will accept the nom- ination about one week before the Ma tionaI Convention meets two months from today.
 The Republican State Committee is to meet to organize tomorrow noon. There is talk of some up-state opposi- ton to the reelection of Chairman Tanner, but it is expected that this will be overcome.

MORE THAN 700
 GAMBLERS FLEE
 IN MANY RAIDS
New York Rocky" Squads Make Clean-Up of Alleged
 Gaming Houses.

New York, April 7.-More than 700 race track bettors, crap shooters and stuss players were put to flight yester- day afternoon in seven gambling house raids by Lieut.. Costigan of police headquarters, members of his. staff and 50 rookies' from the Police Depart ment Training school
 The raids, which netted 37 prisoners, were accompanied by the crashing of doors with axes and the holding up of gamblers with revo1vers. Twenty three of 60 warrants issued by Chief Magistrate McAdoo before the raids were not served, as the men named in them got away.
 Acting under orders of Police Com missioner Woods, Lieut.. .Costigan, who for six weeks has had men investi- gating the operations of pool rooms in the downtown and Harlem sections of the borough, assembled shortly after p. m. 50 young policemen in his of- flee. He had arranged to have detec- tives, who had obtained evidence against the places to be raided, to min time set for the service of the war rants.
 Posed as Rich Contractors
 Posing as wealthy contractors who had sure system of locating the pool six of Costigan's men gained
 
 the confidence of a group of New ter sey ironworkers and ward leader in Jersey City. to such an extent that they had entrance to six pool rooms and a telephone betting place. Th e New Jer- sey patrons of these houses were led to believe that they would share in more than $1OO,00O by playing the system to them by the detectives.
 As the time approached for the raids five police automobiles, explained by Detectives Horton, McGlynn, Roos, dickson and Chrystie, started. for the various places under suspicion. Cos tigan and several detectives in a touring car preceded the party, stop ping long enough to superintend the details of the work.
