POCKETS INSIDE OUT

The body Of an unidentified. expen-
sive,v clothed man, whose skull had been
crushed and who apparently had oeen
robbed before his body was thrown into
the water, was washed up on the Hudson
River shore at the Edgewood Arsenal
dock at Hastings on Hudson yesterday
afternoon.
Six hours Of work on the mystery oy
the police Of Hastings and adjoining
towns left them without a clew to the
murdered mans identity and clinging
strongly to the suspicion that he may
have been attacked and robbed when a
ma ssenger aboard n steamboat on us

Two boys, Stephen Fredericks ana
Stephen Walt, swimming of the arsenal
dock. discovered the body. There Is
slight bend in the river near Hastings
and as the boys dived into the water
they saw the body bobbing about on the
surface few yards off shore They
swan out, pulled 1t ashore and then ran
for Police Captain Connell
Pockets Turned Inside Out.
Hasty examination of the body by
Cornell showed It had been in the water

clothing had been turned inside out and
emptied. The one pocket not SO treated
was the small watch pocket In the
trousers. In that Connell found %

Council had the body taken to
morgue where Drs. Denniston ana Doer-
fer performed an autopsy. They said
death had been caused by the olo"
which crushed the skull. and gave 1t ms
their unqualified opinion that the man
had been murdered and robbed.
The absence of water in the lungs
they said, also Indicated positively that
the man was dead, or nearly So before
he struck the water.
The robbery theory was strengthened
further when closer examination OF
the body showed that the skin had been
parked from the knuckles OF both hanas

1t is quite possible that many legitimate claims

American life and property will more than counter
balance legitimate German claims against US. N that
case, the foreign will have TO present their
claims TO their government.

DR. Celia Duel Mosher and Prof Ernest Gale Mar

There is a popular feeling that women essen

This advice, a moments thought shows is sound

II is also true that muscular functions are
performed more easily by men than by women, and
vice versa.
Deliberately educating girls to exercise, to keep

pie in charge devote themselves There is a
sharp line between intelligent OF the health and

In truth a mans finger prints are
as recognizable as his face. but UNI
like the features of the face. they
are absolutely unalterable by age,
remaining the same during the en-
tire life, and being proof against any
attempt at classification, since scars
and malformations do not render
them unrecOgnizable.
The finger print is a signature
that cannot be forged by a stranger
or altered by the owner. There is,
perhaps, no other so Interchangeable
and unquestionable a proof of the
identity of a human being. 1t is
the terror of professional criminals,
for they can never tell where they
may have inadvertently left an i'm
preston of the ball OF a finger or
thumb, and some of the most dra-
matte exposures of hidden crimes
and detections Of guilty persons,
have resulted from the study OF
faint impressions made perhaps by
a bloodstained or greasy finger. or
by a touch on newly painted door,
wall or window.
Considering the fact that the iden-
trying quality of finger prints was
known in remote antiquity. it seems
very remarkable that only in re-
cent times has it been scientifically
recognized and esta blished. In east
ern lands, in ancient times. the sig
nature, or sign-manual, of a king
was given by impressing his thumb
upon wax, or some other plastic
substance. Yet it was not until the
early half of the 18th century that
the Importance of the subject was
urged upon the attention of scien-
thc men. and not until the goth cen
fury was at the door that wide
spread interest. having practical re-
suits, was aroused.
