The island is about forty miles

T INGER PRINTS
NOT INF ALL|BLE.
EXPERT ASSERTS


10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtRs;
New York, Jan. 20.-Officials of
the International Association for
Personal Identification here. an orr
ganization having for it's object the
finger printing of every man,
woman and child in the United
States and Canada, have started an
inquiry into the charge made by
Milton Carlson, a Los Angeles
Handwriting expert, that finger
prints can be forged.
carlson says he forged" the fin
ger prints of convicted murderer
inNew Jersey in human blood on
IA butcher knife, making a perfect
thumb impression of a man 5000
miles away Experts, it is said,
pronounced it perfect. SO far as
known, the Californian is the first
man 50 announce successful dupli-
cation of finger prints, used for
the past 900 years as an infallible
iii'H'A' VI i'ltlllil ltdNlOil.
Forged finger prints are possible
but ineffective it is said by officials
of the International Association for
Personal Identification here. "a
criminal said the secretary of the
association would not have one
chance in million of success in
fastening q crime upon an innocent
person by means of forged finger
print our researches show that in
every case of a reproduced print
the lines are too palpably false to
deceive skilled eye. They show
up under a strong magnifying glass
like a rubber stamp or wood en-
craving and not like the original
finger lines which, by reason of
perspratiou and oil, are clear and
sharply defined.
Handwriting experts may at
tempt to discredit fingerprints be-
cause their use detracts from their
business but the fact remains that
human seals as the finger prints
are called, are an unfailing test so
far as identity is concerned. They
have practically superseded the
Bertillon system in New York state
but in until the law is changed, the
Bertillon must be used in the pent-
tentiaries. when the lines are
blurred, as often happens, a finger
print is worthless but If they are
clear it is infallible evidence. 1t
has been shown that if the finger
ridges were shaved off or sandpa-
pered they came back.
ut is popularity supposed that
fingerprints usually are only shown
in blood The fact is that You leave
a finger print upon everything you
touch. 1T is quite invisible to the
naked eye. The expert, however,
will take a bit of powder-dark
powder on a light surface or light
powder on a dark surface-and will
quickly develop" the print. The

LAS VEGAS AND
VICINITY FACE
BUSY Z MONTHS

Especial Correspondence TO The Journal)
East Las Vegas, n. NJ, Jan. CO.
Developments of the months of
january Indicate that the year 1920
is going to be a big and important
year for Greater Las Vegas.
First in Importance comes the es-
adjustment of the Baptist college
at the Hot Springs Leading Bap-
lists predict that the college Will
be made one of the largest institu-
tons of its kind that the denomi-
nation possesses. They base their
claims upon the excellent climate
and the fact that the buildings are
already in existence and are of u
more handsome and permanent ma
ture than any young school could
hope to possess. Added to the CHI
matological advantages, there are
the many points of scenic interest
in the immediate neighborhood.
The city is engaged now in raising
the $25, 200 required to present the
buildings and grounds to the Bap-
lists, and is not meeting with any
difficulty in getting the money.
Plans are under way for the cree
ton of a new modern, fire-proof
hotel, and it is believed that these
plans will be pushed through to
completion during the year.
The Las Vegas irrigation project
is completed, and its owners are
conducting test farms upon it to
determine how successful the farm
ers to whom the tracts are sold can
be expected to be. The test farms
also are for the purpose of break
ing the land, so that the settlers
will find everything ready for a
successful year when they first
take possession. The project will
water 10000 acres.
On January "a. the citizens of
East Las Vegas will vote upon
bond issue of 500, 600 for the pur-
pose of erecting new high school
During this same year the New
Mexico Normal university will be-
gin the erection of its new admins |
tration building and auditorium, |
which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, when completed, |
The First National. bank, which, |
since its consolidation with the San |
Miguel National bank, is one of the |
largest banking institutions in the |
southwest. will erect a modern |
banking and office building on the |
corner of Seventh street and Doug |
las evenue. The approximate cost |
of this structure is 100000.
Contracts have been let for the
paving of sixth, Seventh, Fifth and
Fourth streets, and the Sixth street |
paving, now half done, will be fin
ished this year.
The commercial club proposes to |
give an impetus to building, by the
of an association for that |
purpose, if it is found there is a
sufficient demand for aid. I'm
there is a big demand ,
for houses, and the club is anxious |
that many people who now rent,
build, thus making them perma-
nent residents and at the same
time releasing houses for the many |
people who want to locate perma
nently but who have not been able !
to find homes. There will be con-
siderable building. one man has
announced that he will build about |
six modern, four-room brick cot
tages, and another IS contemplat-
ing building flats.
on the West side, an organization
has been formed to look after the |
welfare of that portion Of the COM
1t will project a sewer sys-
tenn for the entire West side, and a

on the same anticline which runs
the entire length of the Gossett
land.
Bell expects to find oil at 1000
feet, but thinks the big sands will
be found at 2,200 feet or less. The
railroad company has built spur
to unload material and will haul
water from Carlsbad for use in the
boilers. A fuel oil steam plant will
be used.
1t is said that nine wells will be
put in in this neighborhood this
spring.

THE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY RAT.

Because of the buboric plague cases in Vera Cruz
and the proximity Of that port the Gulf ports of the
United States, Surgeon General Cummings urging
war upon rats The rat is the distributor of bubonc
plague germs just different varieties of the mosquito
fly is the busy bearer of many germs 1t has not been
many years since this Of the rat discovered
in an effort to learn the mystery of bubonic plague
spreading but that ii is known the reasonableness
the need of general upon the rat is evident But
there is another good for such war The rat
does damage to the amount of $1SOOOoO0O annually in
this country. Every person in the United States sup
ports one rat end 1t costs him and her about So year
each to do it. The rat population and human popula
tion estimated to be the small fraction of
the annual upkeep of rodents would practically exter
inmate the entire rat population In view Of the eco
nomc saving and the protection of the public health it
would seem as though there should be general cam
paign to accomplish this
The very nature of conditions requires that such
campaign be public and organized one. Private en-
terprse cannot be depended upon. Rats are for the
most part be found in the downtown districts around
factories and warehouses and in tenemens Such meas
ures of destruction as are effective must be systematic
and done with equipment and skill private individuals
do not possess The federal authorities are in posi-
ton to advise and help only, but not to conduct local
campaigns. Killing rats, like any other health and
PROPAGATE movement, is officially local police mat
ter and unoffcialy purely individual cooperative
through some ocal organization All the United States
Public Health Service can do is to urge such cam
pcgn and offer advice and the assistance of experts 1t
the people of any locality want assurance against bu-
bonc plgue or to stop supporting rats at So head
they must do it themselves
