FINGER PRINT IS ID BE USED
 LOCALLY

]. K. Wright a finger print eX- pert is in the city. He is the man who serves and preserves finger prints by which to identify crimin- ials or friends as the case may re- quire. He has a complete outfit (which he uses and is here explain ing the method of matching finger prints to the county authorities.
 According to his theory, fingers are like the leaves on maple trees. Scientists say and prove that there are no two things in nature alike. There can be no two fingers having the same print. In 64,O00,000 exam pies there were only two finger prints that even resembled each other. And thus 1t would mean that once in 64,0O0,O00 times only; would there be a chance of any ten fingers matching in prints those of another hand.
 It is a very easy matter to pick up d finger print from piece of paper as the fingers cxude little oil and when one touches a piece of paper or any substance, the fingers leave that oil. Wright is able to pick 1t up and preserve the print as a clue. He knows just how to get the tracks right.
 Mir. Wright was d lieutenant in France. In describing finger prints, he said there are loops, whirls, arches and mixtures called acciden- tals
 Bankers are learning the finger print Identification cards for custom CTS in addition to photographs and signatures. Wright refused to dis cuss the reason why he was in Pres colt. If he was on the track of some crooks, perhaps lot of fellows may loose some sleep about his being here, but that would not keep newspaper man awake.

IS GIVEN GOOD WELCOME
 AT CAPITAL

PHOENIX, July Jo.-lIon. Elias 5. Clark, candidate for the nomina- ton on the republican ticket for United States senator, arrived from
 Prescott in the interest of his can didacy. He will remain a week. His ireception by both democrats and re- lpublicans supports the reasons ad- vanced by his friends when thcy urged his coming out for the nom ination.
 For 38 years Mir. Clark has been a resident of Arizona. After serving Coconino county as district attorney for the years 1S97-9, he declined a Irenomination. During 1903 and 1904 he was district attorney for Yavapi county. He was attorney general under Governor Kibbey from 1905 to I19O9.
 As district attorney of Yavapai county, MT. Clark succeeded in
 bringing about an increase i'll the taxation of the United States Verde
 Copper company. At that time classes of properties other than rail roads were taxed on d valuation ot 500 per cent more than mines. Gov ernor Kibbey took notice of Clarks success in Yavapai county, and as kibbey's attorney general, he increas- ed in valuation all properties from .440O0,OO0 to more than $9O,0UOOOO dollars, the mines bearing the great Ter part of the increase. That was the first step taken to give square deal to the over-taxcd farming, stock raising and home owning citizens oi the state.
 Mr Clark advocated both pro hibition and woman suffrage, and was d consistent supporter of both. His stand on reclamation of arid lands is shown by his interest in the San Carlos project, which will, if put through, bring him into cultiva ton many thousand acres of land located about Casa Grande and Flor ence.
 Because Of the appeal Of the pro-. greSsive principles, Mir. Clark supper ted the progressive movement i'll 1912 He was an aduirer of Colonel Roosevelt, his friendship with the ex- president having ever been close. He was candidate on the progressive party electoral ticket i'll 1912.
