DISCUSS PLANS FOR
 ADVERTISING THE
 SALT RIVER VALLEY

Recently suggested plans to adver- tise the Salt River valley were dis cussed at a meeting of the advertis- ing committee of the chamber of commerce Monday afternoon. A. C, Taylor presided. and in opening the meeting emphasized the need for an advertising plan which would not re- quire great expenditure of money
 The first matter acted upon was a suggestion by Press Bancroft for a letter-writing campaign, and MT Bancroft, Bryan Akers and L. A Weiss were asked to go to work on this feature. The campaign started yesterday when each member of the Kiwanis club wrote letters to tive friends back east.
 A. c. Dulmage. J. A. Tobias and R. N Murray were appointed to take up the matter of placing one or two signboards at important points in the north with a view of getting trave over the northern roads into tho southern part of the state
 Webb Griffen, J. $. Griffen anc John Dennett were named a commit tee to work out plans for an exhibi at eastern fairs in the fall.
 It was decided to ask all members to use the sketch showing an outline view of the dam and the valley on al letterheads and to request mercnant' to include at the close Of each lettel a short paragraph telling some in, terestinr fact regarding Phoenix ant the Salt River valley
 The secretary was instructed t' outline material for new bookle on the valley and to consider method for issuing a new booklet on the cit, to take the place of the Today booklet issued a year ago
 The suggestion of w. G. O'Neil TO featuring was referred to the commit tee on eastern fair exhibit The re quest to purchase a film of tn Apache trail and valley was referre' to E. F.. Kunselman to see how mucl of the film could be used locally

Perhaps in this opinion the subject of this form of Identification Is treated more fully than 1t had been ever before in judicial expression in this country. In no other opinion probably has so great confidence in the reliability of this form of evil dence been voiced.
 Moon was arrested for the burglary of a butcher shop at Bisbee. On a porcelain slab in front of a cash reg ister were found distinct prints of four fingers of the right hand. On a close door near the cash register was found a small piece of human skin and around it were blood drops.
 This piece of skin furnished the clue and the business of the officers was to search for man who had re- gently hurt his hand. Moon was thus discovered and when later the finger they were found to correspond with the ridges of Moons fingers.
 Evidence concerning the finger prints was introduced at the trial by two expert witnesses. It was also shown that the piece of human skin found near the cash register cor responded with the wound found or the hand of Moon following his arrest on the morning after the burglary.
 The opinion includes h1storica review of the use of the fingerprini in the Identification of individual: and in the prevention of forgery quoting from Brayley's "Fingei Prints Identification"
