B. & 0. TO ADUP[ The
Finger PRINT" system

The fingerprint method of identifi-
cation is to be adopted by the police
department of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad System for apprehending
fugitives from justice and for protec-
ting the company and its patrons
against criminals. according to Ed
mund Leigh, general superintendent
Of police. The adoption Of this method
which is generally recognized in po-
lice circles throughout the world as
infallible, will be the nrst undertaken
by a private concern for self-protec-
tion, and its operation on a large rail-
road system will be studied by po-
lice departments throughout the
world.
W. f. Shepler, assistant to Chief
Leigh, who is in charge OF the Office
work OF the railroads police depart
ment at Baltimore. has been attached
to the New York police department
temporarily in order to make a gen
eral study OF the fingerprint system,
install it in the railroads police Or
ganization and instruct the members
Of the department in recording and

$500 IN Vegetables
CROWN ON The LOTS

A report OF the work done by the
Vacant Lots Committee for the year
1915, prepared by Miss Katherine
Wilson, chairman and treasurer.
shows that produce valued at over
SS,5OO was raised on the lots last
year, beneftting more than 1,1OO peo-
pie. The report follows:
During the past season we had un-
der cultivation 22 lots, divided into
160 gardens, raising produce valued
at S3.6s5.19. for the benefit Of l.176
people, as against S3,24S.74 divided
among 1,151 people for last year.
The season started most prosperous
ly, but the continued drought Of the
latter part did a great deal of damage
as the later vegetables could not ma
ture.
Consequently. there were no very
high averages for gardens as in some
seasons, some of them have been
worth as much as $50. while this year
the highest was worth about $50, but
there were surprisingly few failures.
Most Of our benehciaries are too old
or infirm to work much and there
are many women among them, mostly
widows who help exc out a scanty
living with the gardens.
Our total expenditures for plowing,
seeds, printing and the superintend-
ent's salary were S653.59, and our re-
ceipts we're $s57, while we had a sur
plus Of SIS in bank.
We must thank our contributors
for their generous help, Senator
Salisbury and Representative Miller
for seeds from the Department OF
Agriculture, and our superintendent,
Mr.. Reynolds, for his constant inter
est and attention.
