c. OF c. PLANNING
MEET TO DISCUSS
ASSESSMENT CUT.

In accordance with a resolution
adopted at the last meeting of the
directors of the local chamber of
commerce, plans are being completed
for meeting of interested organiza-
tions and individuals in this city
shortly to consider the reduction of
property assessments in Cochise coun-
ty to level which will place them
in their proper proportion to those
in other counties of Arizona.
Various organizations in the coun-
ty have been advised of the proposed
gathering by the committee of the
local body in charge of that cam
paign, and in most instances a ready
response to the idea has bet1 ex-
pressed. County Assessor George R.
Henshaw, although uncertain on what
date he will be able to come to
Douglas to discuss assessment reduc-
tion, has endorsed the plan and it is
hoped that definite date will be
chosen soon.
Following the gathering here to
draw up plans for the reduction in
the assessment values, the state tax
commission will be invited to this
city to consider the matter with
those broaching it,

JUDGE NEWBURY
HAS BUSY TIME
ON BISBEE WORK

Tuesday proved a busy day for
Judge John e. Newbury of this city
in Bisbee where he substituted for
Judge w 2. Craig in the justice
court of that city due to the latter's
trip to the coast
The local judge lived UP to his
reputation as stickler for the OBJ
servance of traffic law observance
and one v.olator will pass Is days
in Jail and pay fine of $25 for driv-
ing his motorcycle recklessly. Judge
Nembury returned to Douglas yester-
day afternoon but had little business
to transact here then.
Mike Banchi was the Bisbee motor
cycle victim, the complaining witness
being o. N. Mitchell, who charged
that the defendant ran into Mrs
Mitchell, who was holding a small
child in her arms and leading a sew
en- year old boy across the street in
Johnson Addition. Mrs. Mitchell was
not seriously injured, but the hus-
band, who was the victim of an auto
mobile accident several years ago,
has no patience with reckless driV-
ers, according to friends, and he
pressed the charge in the local JUS
t1ce court as a warning to others.
Mitchell testified in court that he
was crossing the street ahead OF has
wife and children pushing cripple
in a wheel chair and was barely able
to get out of the way of Banch1. He.
said the rider not only was travelling
too fast but turned around to talk
to two other boys on motorcycles "a
few feet in the rear. 1a
Another speeder was fined $l5 with
a warning that Jail sentence would
follow his next conviction "John
Doe" Curry, who was convicted OF
simple assault, was sentenced to
serve days in Jail and fined $22c

enihg to kill his common law Wife,

DOUCLASPOLICE
REARRANCE CARD
FINGER PRINTS

Wednesday afternoon proved a busy
one at the Douglas Police station, for
Day Sergeant A. B. Murchison and
Constable o. A. Ash who dug into
various piles of finger-print sheets
and reward posters in an effort to
classify and Systematically rearrange
this valuable material.
An attractive and modern filing
cabinet for the finger printing sheets
has been installed at the station and
all those of value in the hands Of
the local department will be careful
ly placed in this cabinet in such a
manner as to be easily found.
The classification and filing work
now being done by the local officers
is following the regulations of the
Henry system which has become the
standard for most of this work by
the police throughout the country.
Instead of simply a mans name ap~
pearing at the top of each finger
print card the Henry system has
his prints classified according to the
nature of the lines in the various
fingers.
Sergeant Murchison yesterday UNI
covered many finger-print sheets and
posters, telling of escaped prisoners.
which have been piled in the city
hall from as far back as 1916 and
1917 and many of these will be filed
in the new cabinet The system is
now becoming so effective that Of
ficers in almost any section of the
county can send the finger prints OF
a certain prisoner to officers in 9TH
iTo6i ixyi6I Ina q
identified and obtain his record with
lin few days.
Local officers in charge of the
work who have caught many bur-
glars in and about this city due sim
ply to the certainty of finger print
ing, stated yesterday that they be-
lieve that within another ten years
there will be universal fingers
print system throughout the United
States containing cards bearing the
prints of every individual. One OF
the most fascinating features of the
finger print game lies in the fact
5that each persons prints differ in
some respect from those of every
other person in the world. What is
more, Sergeant Murchison said We'd
nesday, the prints of an individual
do not change with his age.
He cited one case in which the
prints of baby were taken when
he was but one year old and then
taken again when he was 7O years
of age. Except for the size of the
prints, they did not differ in any
marked degree, the sergeant states
and were quite easily recognized as
being those of the same person.
