THE UNIDENTIFIED DEAD

crcisc Greater Care In Seeking

Cases Detailed.

Long lines or faces or the dead that
stare out from hundreds of photographs
faces of men, women, and children
In all conditions of life-make up the
gallery of unidentified dead at police
headquarters in New York and to this
gallery come each day those who have
missing friends or relatives and who,
after searching the hospitals, have
abandoned all hope. The gallery is a
development Of the bureau of unidentified
dead that was organized in that city
soon after the body of Senator Timothy
u. Sullivan lay for ten days in the Ford
ham Morcue and was on the way TO
Potters Field before It was identified.
This incident showed the lax methods
then employed, and called attention to
the number of bodies buried each year
without a thorough search to establish
identity.
Lieutenant Grant Williams In re-
cent lecture on this branch of police
work, said that in his opinion there
are many unidentified bodies buried in
Potter's field that could have been iden-
titled had the present methods been in
operation. The police, he added can

idea that the big city was created solely
with view of providing easy ways for

instances of how people throw their NOR

came his conveyance was at Long Beach

IT. HERE is a tale that short
" ly after the natives of
New Zealand had been
provided with firearms a war
ensued between two of the
tribes. The battle ragged furi-
Ously for q time until it was
observed that the fire on one
side had ceased. Soon a flag
of truce appeared and mes
4enger came forth to treat with
the enemy. The substance of
their plea was that their side
had run out Of ammunition and
therefore it was necessary, if
the battle was to be continued,
that they negotiate a loan of
powder from their opponents.
The commander more fortu-
Bately supplied with powder
and shot at once complied with
the request and the struggle
was soon resumed.
Were chivalry of this type
more prevalent than it is in
Europe it might be possible to
expedite the slaughter ana
thus hasten the day of peace.

the state has been spending for
each purpose and what is
asked for this time.
The budget provides pub
licity of a sort greatly needed.
It brings expenditures and
prospective expenditures into
the open where each item may
be observed and discussed. 1t
enables legislators and other
people to Judge more intelli-
gently as to the merits of re-
quests made of the legislature.
This year the budget aside
from showing the estimated
needs also sets for the ability
of the state to appropriate
money under the restrictions
of the six per cent amendment,
The total requests from all
departments and institutions
reach $9,317,528.46 and of this
the sum of $7,024,8S7.91 is
wanted in the form of appro-
priations. However. under the
six per cent amendment it will
be impossible for the legisla-
ture to appropriate more than
S6,309,505.82, thus leaving
over $715,000 uncared for. AS
to whether this is a desirable
state of affairs opinions will
differ. The East Oregonian
lis not favorably impressed with
the probable workings of the
six per cent amendment, but it
approves most thoroughly or
the plan of publishing the bud
