BY F|NGERPR|NTS
Expert Research by Detective
Sandberg Convicts Safe
Taper of Local Job.

Ralph Green, Boston yeggman, last
week was convicted In the District
Criminal Court. of breaking open a
safe in the office OF the Capital Cigar
and Tobacco Company. His convic-
ton was based entirely on finger
prints.
Soon after the safe Job, Detective
Sergeant Fred Sandberg. official pho
tographer and fngerprint expert OF
the Washington Police Department,
found fingerprints on the door panel
OF the shop. These prints were pho
tographed and enlarged. Two weeks
later green was arrested as he was
running away from the store of the
Columbia Hotel and Supply Company
following an attempted safe robbery
there.
At police headquarters his finger
prints were taken and when compared
with those found on the panel OF the
door of the tobacco company were
found to be identical.
Police accused Green. who has a
chain of aliases, with the safe Job
at the tobacco store. He denied the
charge. But when Detective Sand
berg explained the nngerprints to the
jury in Judge MeCoy's court the
talesmen brought In verdict of
guilty after ten minutes delibera-
tion.

BY International News Service.

NEW YORK. JuSy e.--Mother and
daughter "rose from the grave" here
today; the first sight they got OF each
other after five years OF supposed
death was in Tombs prison.
For three days Edna Wilsey, a
comedy eighteen-year- student
nurse at a New York hospital. had

ceny. There wasn't a friend in the
world to turn to for bail. Her par
ents had separated six years ago, Ed
ma going with her feather, who soon
afterward told her that her mother
had died.
Today the keeper at the Tombs
brought in a woman visitor to Edna's
cell. The girl thought she saw a
ghost; the woman was her mother.
Mrs. Wilsey had been told a couple Of
years ago that Edna had died. She
read about the girls plight in the pa
pers and came to see IL by any miracle
1t could be her daughter; II was The
mother had brought $1,000 bail along.
Papers for Edna's immediate release
were drawn UP amid sobs from the
two women-sobs of Joy.
Edna is still waiting for an answer
from her grandfather, who lives at

up" the matter that caused her arrest.
She is accused OF having taken $40

IN the Selective Service Act. the first
attempts to secure new Legislation
were begun by individuals and
groups in the various hospitals. The
failure of these early attempts
showed the need OF an Organization
to be composed or all Officers In
terested in the question, maintaining
constant contact with Congress and
it's own members, and following a
definite plan of action.
The organization has made consid-
cradle progress in this particular
phase of it's work. In March. 1920,
a subcommittee of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Of
the House of Representatives held a
hearing, lasting over a period OF three
days, on the Stevenson bill, which
provided for compensation equivalent
to retired pay for disabled emergency
officers of the army. The executive
committee of this organization ar
ranged the presentation OF the case
for this legislation. presented facts,
figures and arguments to the sub
committee, brought out the hardships
that the present condition imposes
on many disabled officers, and urged
the subcommittee to present a favor
able report on the legislation.
REPORTED FAyoRABLY FEB. 2.
On February 2, 1921, the bill was
favorably reported to the House, the
committee recommending its passage.
The bill then went onto the calendar,
became a routine measure despite ex-
tended efforts to secure a rule for it's
special consideration, and, on account
of the Legislative jam" during the
closing days of the Sixty-sixth Con-
gress, failed to receive consideration
on the floor OF the House. 1t was
generally acknowledged by those ac-
quainted with Congressional opinion
on the subject that favorable action
would have resulted from considera-
ton and a vote on the bill by the
House.
The provisions OF the Stevenson bill
were deemed to be somewhat unsatis-
factory to the membership Of the or
ganization, and on the first day OF
the special session of the Sixty-sev-
enth Congress a new bill, providing
for the privilege of actual retirement
for disabled emergency officers, was
introduced by Representative Royal
C. Johnson of South Dakota. This
bill IL the legislation with which the
Disabled Emergency Officers Of the
World War will be concerned during
the present Congress.
An exact copy of the Johnson bill
OF the House was introduced in the
Senate by Senator II. o. Bursum OF
New Mexico. Hearings on the bill
were held May 81 before the Com
mittee on Military Affairs of the SEN
alta These hearings were satisfac-
tory to the disabled officers in every
way.

Copyright, 1921
Especial to The Argus

Washington, Nov. 25.-The real
reason for the proposal of Secretary
Hughes and the Ameri-l-n navy that
hereafter no battleships shall be
built by any nation larger than
35, 900 tons, is just coming to the
surface. The United States does
not wish to have any battleship5
too large to go through the Panama
canal Before the present confer
ence was convened and the arma-
ment race was at its height, there
was talk of $4,000 and $4,000 ton
battleships to be built by Japan.
This would have been met by the
construction of American battle
ships of equal size but these yes
sells would have been valuable to
tht United States only in the Pa
cific where they would have had to
be kept most of the time
Defensive Strength.
American naval policy, at least
for the present, contemplates a
feet divided between the Atlantic
and Pacific and one of the chief
values of the canal is that strategic
ally it gives the United States great
defensive strength. The disadvaGt-
age of having vessels in the Pacific
which must round Cape Horn was
corspiCuously illustrated in the
Spanish-American war when
Fighting Bob" Evans made his
memorable trip from Pacific to At
lantic waters to assist the squad
rons off the Cuban coast.
The Panama canal is able at
present to accommodate vessels
with a displacement of over 10000
tons comfortably but the engineers
who built the ditch did not contem-
plate ships greater than 10 feet
in width. There are How no vessels
afioat as wide as this SO the Hughes
proposal affects only the future. 1t
reads as follows:
That no capital ship shall be
built in replacement wit ha tonnage
displacement of more than $4,000
tons"
Mr.. Hughes gave no reasons or
argument for the foregoing sugges-
ton but naval experts now realize
what was back of it.
Other Reasons.
OF course there were other rea-
sons for this limitation such as
stabilizing the value of existing
battle5hips and armament.
When the Panama canal was
