physician, for the small satchel in his
hand is not unlike that Of the doctor,
but when opened it will be found to
contain these articles:
A complete fnger-print outfit,
searchlight, steel tape measure, paper,
envelopes, sealing wax, Irvine, tags,
small box of tools-saw, screwdrivers,
Jimmy, file, compasses and scissors
stenographer's notebook rubber gloves,
bottle of antiseptic wash, and soap and
towel
Perhaps the murder has been COM
m1tted in a room or hall and the muir
derer has got away without leaving an
ordinary visible clue. To the layman
there would appear. to be noting to
work upon; but the detective goes
scientifically to work to find a clue to
the Identity of the slayer. The room,
hall, or whatever location may be
measured and tabulated. Every mark
or wound on the victim Is infinitely in
spected and recorded in the notebook.
Then the searchlight is turned upon
the woodwork, DOORS furniture or any
other article and they are examined
for the print of a finger. 1t may be
found on the wainsc citing or the door
Out comes the saw and the wood is
cut away. Perhaps the mani of a
foot is found on the carpet, oilcloth or
floor near the body. With the scissors
a square is cut from the carpet or
cloth. If on the floor, then a square
section of the wood is taken up, so
that a later examination and photo
graph may be made and the results
compared with records in the bureau
of criminal identification.
A photographer and a stenogra pher
are always ready at the detective
bureau at police headquarters to assist
the squads in their work They help
to obtain immediate statements from
all vailable witnesses or jewellers in
the house or near the place where the
murder has been committed. From
the information thus obtained the
actual hunt for the suspect is started
1t is all very simple when carried
out logically and accurately according
to well-tested rules. But as for the
detective familiar only with the old
methods. which formerly often con-
sisted of Hooking at the corpse" then
Hooking wise" and doing nothing
more to get a clue. he would be '1ost"

SCIENCE AN AID IN

New York Detectives Becoming
Adopts in Locating Clues

New York, Feb. 16.-During the two
years since Police Commissioner
Woods reorganized the detective
bureau by withdrawing the "plain
clothes men" from the police stations
throughout the city and established
branch bureaus having no connection
with the uniformed force he has
originated a system of training of the
members of the different squads until
today most Of them have become
specialists in some form of detecting
criminals and the gathering of evil
dence with which successfully to
prosecute them
This is most strikingly shown in the
new methods of the "Homicide
Squads which devote themselves ex-
clusively. to investigation of murder
cases. In addition to the natural
faculties Of the detective and the
knowledge he may have gained from
experience and work in some particu-
lar line, he is scientifically equipped TO
apply both his experience and know
ledge to the best advantage
When crime has been committed
and a report Of it has reached a
branch bureau, through the police or
from other sources, at least one Of tn
squad will Immediately go to the place
OF the crime carrying a little blaze.

AUSTRIA SETTLING
AS HUMAN VOLCANO
ReY0ltS in Bohemia Put Down
by Cold Steel

New York, Feb. 16.-HoW Bohemia
is terrorized by the Austrian author
tiles is told in letter from an Aus
TRAN published in the Gazette del
Popola," Turin, Italy.
The correspondent, speaking of un-
paralleled executions in the Slavonic
sections of Austria, described the
situation there as follows:
Famine is at our door. The situa-
ton in many of the provinces is hor-
ribly gloomy. We hear of attempts
at revolt suppressed in blood, and
yet there are still men among us with
the delusion that we are going to an
mex new territories. Our people are
becoming impatient. Those under
Hungarian domination are becoming
defiant. Thus the tension during the
last few weeks in the relations be-
tween Count Tisza and the Croatians
has become heightened. The reign Of
terror in Croatia and Dalmatia dur
ing the two and a half years of war
has been without precedent.
There has been wholesale hanging,
shooting and numbering without any
parallel in any European country. Up
till the end of 1915 there were alone
in Bosnia, Herzegovina and in Dalma-
tia 1900 sentences of capital punish
ment for alleged treason, and in these
figures are not included the hundreds
Of victims who were summarily exc
cuted without any court martial. I'M
mediately after the declaration or
war an imperial rescript authorized
the military authorities to take hos
tages in those countries and to shoot
on the spot any one tampering with
the railway, telegraph or telephone
lines.
COZ this power the military made
ample use, as may be seen from only
one example. \ well-known and
prominent Dalmatian was in a train
in With a rifle shot was heard. The
train Immediately stopped and the
passenger was marched out and
fastened to a tree to be shot. A SOL
der in the train then came up and
told the officer who was about to
give the cruel order that it was his
own rifle which had gone off by acct
dent. The man was released from
the tree, but the threat of sudden ex-
,ecution had driven him mad. He
las since been in lunatic asylum"

SPEARS FOR MENTOR
Former AN-Amer1can Guard, Is Mem
toned AS Successor to Cavanaugh
for Dartmouth Football Coach.

Hanover, N. H., Feb. 16.-There is
a rumor about this town that Spears,
the former varsity guard. will be
named as coach to succeed Frank
Cavanaugh. Spears is a senior, and
was ineligible to play for the Green
last season because of a year of foot
ball on small western college team.
He gave his attention to the fresh
man eleven last year and the Green,
as will be remembered, had one of
the best first year outfits in the east.
Spears intends to enter Tuck school
for post graduate work next fall, and
thus would be available for coaching.
