$40 PAULO WAR SWEPT
20 MILLIONS IN RUINS
DWELLINGS AND MANUFACT-
URING PLANTS PILLAGED
AND DESTROYED.

Fifteen hundred persons were killed
or wounded, and property worth about
$2O.OO0,OO0 was destroyed during the
rebel control of the city of Sac Paulo,
Brazil The rebels are continuing their
fighting in the province, but the city
has been captured by the federals, and
the people are returning to their
homes.
Homes Were Looted.
The tragedy OF the warfare is
brought home as the thousands of cit
liens who fled the city when the trou-
b1e began return. Their homes fell be
fore the mobs that looted many sec
tons with alleged rebel cooperation.
General pillaging ripped the comforts
from most of the homes, while others
were burned or shelled TO charred
masses.
The SUM districts present the worst
appearance. Here the fighting was
heaviest during the seige, and here
now is the most grief. Charred walls
stand where once were homes, and
the toll of human life runs high. 1t
was in this district that the federals
found 80 bodies strewn about the
American Plants Saved.
The Crespi cotton plants, the larg-
est in the city. were burned to the
Ground with a loss OF $1,000,000. The
large manufacturing houses OF Count
NJ atarazzo were damaged by fire, pill
lace and bombardment. Only the
American manufacturing plants APP
near to have been spared during the

F1ngerprints System VIII Have Big

Proof OF the ability of the finger
print system was established after the
flood in Galveston, Tex, in August,
1915, Kaye says.
After the food subsidized the body
of an unidentified soldier was found.
All efforts to identity the body failed,
so one OF the mans fingers was sent
to Washington in alcohol.
Kaye declared that when the bottle
reached the bureau the skin had be-
come detached from the finger. He
made a finger of wood, however, glued
the skin in place, took a finger print
and in few minutes identified the
soldier as Fred Aldrich. Later, he
said, his identification was proved
