FINGER PRINT GETS THIEF

A carelessly laid thumb on the cas-
ing of a door between parlor and hall
at 1745 Columbia road, during a
housebreaking reported by NJ. j.
Lewis, March s. according to the po-
lice. was the means of clinching ap-
proximately twenty-five cases of lar
ceny against Ernest johnson, colored,
twenty-one years old. of $50 Florida
avenue.
The photograph of the thumbprint
made by Fred Sandberg, fingerprint
expert of the police department, laid
on the desk for several months be-
fore it was needed. At the time of
tagging the print, Inspector of Detec-
tives Grant said, Sandberg told him
that if ever the man who made that
print came in, the thumb print would
be better than a photograph. When
Johnson, who had been arrested by
Detectives Jackson and Jones. walked
into the criminal identification bu-
reau. the thumb print which matched
his own was flashed at him and
shortly afterward, according to the
police. he confessed to a number of
crimes.

FEARS GREAT WAR
IN BALKAN STATES
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 5.-Hostilities on a
large scale appear to be possible in
the Balkans, according to Charles
Hitchcock Sheriff. of New York, for
mer United States minister to Argen-
tina, who has just returned to Paris
from a trip which took him to
Bucharest. Belgrade and Budapest.
II am amazed" said Mr. Sheriff. to-
day, ito find in Rumania what may
be called levee en- masse'"
He declared that Rumania was ex-
planning her action by saying that ii
had become necessary to declare
martial law in Bessarabia and Tran
sylvania, the former territory having
been received by Rumania from Rus
sia and the latter from Hungary by
virtue of treaties following the world
war. He added that Serbia's action
was being explained by affirming that
military action was required in Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina.
Mr.. Sheriff., who said he saw vari-
Gus foreign ministers of Balkan states
and had an opportunity Of personally
observing conditions, declared: Not
only is the uniformed army mebili1ed
but also at railway stations there are
platoons of men with rifles and am
munition, but no uniforms. AHthori-
ties at. Budapest say the Rumanians
have 100000 uniforms with accom-.
panying equipment. 1t is probable
that the forces mobilized would ex-
ceed those figures"
Troops may be seen everywhere in
Serbia, he declared, even marching
through the capital. Belgrade. There
are 10000 Russian refugees in Serbia
he added-in Belgrade; there is a large
number of officers. including $50 gen.
erals. as well as a number of troops
of Gen. Baron Wrangers army, which
he declared, had been taken into the
Serbian gendarmerie.
Budapest believes, said Mr.. Sheriff.
that the difficulty in Burgenland may
be seized at any moment by the Slav
states to the south in order to enable
them to enter that disturbed section
and thus to establish a corridor
through to Cxechoslovakia and other
Slav states on the north. which corri.
dor was requested by the Slav states
at the Versailles peace conference but
was refused.
