LEAVE FINGER PRINTS ALONE

LEAVE FINGER PRINTS ALONE
Two men may have the same
brand Of politics or the same brand
of bird dog. Two men may have, in
appearance, the same suit of clothes.
! Two men may even have the same
sweetheart, clever enough to make
each believe he has exclusive posses
sion of her fluttering heart. But
No two men ever have the same
finger prints Marvellous scientific
fact that the two things looking the
most alike are the very two things
that are fundamentally and unchange-
ably the most different. A sort of
spiritual significance here from
which the parson might well make
a point At least a physical differ
entation that points many criminal
straight toward the pen.
The ether day Detectives Askin
and Carpenter arrested a burglar
and absolute proof of his having
been the man sought was secured
through his finger prints. Now Chief
of Detectives Cunning asks Dallas
folks whose homes may be robbed
to disturb nothing until finger print
experts from his department arrive.
When articles that may have been
touched by the burglar are moved
bv the Householder, the proof, fire.
onently the only proof against that
burglar is destroyed forever.
Finger print records are kept by
the detective department. When 1t
secures the finger print impression
in a robbed nous ii compares that
print with those of men whose Grim
sinalities are already docketed. II
the new digital impression CORE
spends with one already secured,
then the department knows who to
look for. Or it may be that some
one whose finger prints. are not in
the possession of the detective de-
partment is expected II the suspect
has left this faint reminder behind
him in the robbery being probed,
he can be caught, his five pointed
Municipalities tested, and IL they
correspond with the traces left be-
hind in the plundered nome, pehoid
the criminal.
The finger print theory is no long
er one, 1t is an absolute reliable
fact There can be no installing the
wrong man when experts such as
Mr. Stallworth of the Dallas detec-
tive department do the work of
comparison.
II is, of course, natural for the
man whose home has been robbed,
to make a hurried search in order
to discover just what valuables have
been taken If ne will remember
that this is the best way in the
world to allow the criminal to es-
cape justice and to cause the lost
valuahles TO be lost forever, then
he will obey the rule of 1hands off"
until the detectives who are trained
i'm discovering finger prints. arrive

Mr. Upton then called Fred Graf
Iund Of Rock Island, vice presi-
cent of the association, to the chair
Mir Grafiund in turn called upon
Edward Winkler, county clerk of
st Claire county. for q response.
Mr. Winkler spoke enteTtainingly
in response to Mayors McConOchie
and Carlson, thanking the repre-
sentativeS of Rock Island and Mo
line for the cordial welcome given
the delegates Mr. WinkIer. who is
forced to relinQuish his present
duties on account Of i'll health, was
made an honorary member OF the
association by a unanimous vote,
following his talk
Justus L. Johnson Of Geneva.
president of the association of cir
cult clerks and recorders. spoke
briefly. stating that the two assO-
Citations cooperate in every possible
way in holding their conventions
and suggested that this years plan
and program in outline be made
permanent He brought out the
fact that just nine years ago, the
circuit clerks and recorders met in
Rock Island, and dwelt upon his
pleasant memories of that event.
Vice President Grafiund read
from the chair a tribute TO the flag
which was received with enthusi-
asm. He then introduced Oscar +.

resume OF the history Of Rock Is
land county. touching the high
spots" as he expressed it.
a word picture of Black Hawk.
the Indian chieftain who made his
camp on the magnificent site that
now bears his name. carried his
audience back to the days Of 1867.
when a few daring trappers' huts
stood where Rock Island is now
laid out In 1904 this territory was
opened to the whites by a treaty
COncIuded with the SaCs and Fox
Indians by William Henry HART
son acting under orders of Thomas
Jefferson. then president OF the
United States.
Mr.. Child TecOunted the history
Of CampbeIls island. and told of
the battle between a small band of
whites led by Lieutenant Campbell
and Black Hawks warriors. in
which Campbell was himself
wounded and many of the band
died This lead to the naming of
the island. and the erection of a
monument by the state Of Illinois
in honor Of Lieutenant Campbell
and his brave companions
Fort Armstrong, established upon
the point of the arsenal in 1916.
and bred Scott the famous negro
fugitive were also mentioned by
MIR. Child as prominent figures in
the history of this county. The
shane of Rock Island county was
dwelt upon, the strip along the
river so miles long and containing
440 square miles Of territory which
makes up the county was described
by the speaker and its organization
III 1893 as county narrated The
speaker stated that Daniel Web
ster at one time negotiated for a
large tract Of land in this county.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-07-31

the sum mentioned in the transac-
ton being 100000, an unheard Of
amount in those days.
Mr.. Child touched upon Rock Is
land county buildings, his descrip-
ton Of the Jail being especially
humorous. In this connection he
said: Our jail although of stone
age architecture, has a long and in
teresting history It is said that
during the floor the Jail was sighted
by Noah and mistaken for a de
tached wing of the Tower of Ba-
bel. that it afforded shelter to a last
mound builder, that it was temper
arily preempted by De Soto when
discovering the Mississippi river 1t
is also told that Washington con-
demned it as not suited to the
aesthetic tastes of Benedict Arm
old"
Mr. Child concluded his talk with
a brief survey OF what factories
and industries Of Rock Island coun-
ty are doing in helping to win the
great war.

REPORTS
ON CITY WATER
Residents Need Not Fear 10 Use
supply From the City
Mains.
MURRIN AND FOSTER AGREE
Commissioner and Physician Say
No Cause for Alarm Over
Stated Situation.

Rock Island residents need not
feel reluctant in using city water,
nor will it be necessary to boil the
water before using.
Commissioner John A. Murrin, in
charge OF the waterworks depart
ment, and City Physician G. T. FOs-
ter state there is not the slightest
cause for alarm. II is claimed that
the city water still shows the same
high test that it has in the past,
and that in fact the last report from
the state water survey at Urbana
showed the water 10 contain even
less bacteria than usual. This re-
port was received the first of July,
but the same system, and the same
extensive methods of water purif-
cation are still being used as were
in effect when the samples were
forwarded to the state water sur
vey.
The city chemist continues to
make daily tests as in the past and
reports the water in the mains
maintains it's high degree of pure
ness.
Commissioner Murrin and DR..
Foster state that it is their opinion
that the water was never more
pure than now.
Adverse comment was occasioned
because of the orders received by
the superintendent of the Rock Is
land lines not to permit the use %
the city water at the railroad sta
ton or on trains until further or
ders are received. This order came
from the interstate water survey
commission. which stated that in
