MRS. FLETCHER
RAPS HOUD|N|

Mrs. Duncan u. Fletcher, wife Of
the Senator from Florida, appeared
before a subcommittee Of the House
District Committee today to defend
the religion of spiritualism and the
spirit mediums of Washington, and
to oppose the enactment by Con-
gress of the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Sol Bloom of New YORK.

seances.
In an extemporaneous WELDON
nected statement, Mrs. Fletcher de-
Tended her belief against the attack
made on it by Harry Houdini. the
magician. who is the chief sponsor
for the Bloom bill.
Defends Mediums
"The assertion has been made
here that there are no honest med
iums," Mrs. Fletcher said. MY
mother was a medium. My earliest
recollections include some or her
utterances on spiritualism. l nave
had in my own home here some OF
the most prominent people in the
| Capital. You would be surprised;
they are ministers, doctors, high OF.
ficials of the Government. ana
world-renoWned literary people.
81 do not want to take much
time before this committee. l only
want as much as our little friend

HoudinD has had to display Els
pitiful ignorance. ! am surprised
that members of this committee
were impressed by his four little
demonstrations of tricks here yes
terday. They are as different from
spiritual n1ediumship as light Is
/ from darkness.
ST venture to say there Is no
one here who could produce my
own fathers handwriting and his
own signature, yet that has been
done in my presence by spiritual
mediums"
Violin Restored by Spirits
Mrs. Fletcher then told the COM
mittee of several humorous in
stances In which she had received
counsel and guidance from the
spirit world. One Of these related
to an old violin which had been
given to her father by man many

today for the murder Of Jennie

Deadly cynide fumes, pumped
through . tiny hole in the wal

Prison guards will tie Juldch's

him fast to . heavy stationary

Then-with "a hiss Of death

almost instantly.
In q last minute test late last

came within eight seconds.

At a dramatic session late yes

1t was claimed that Randolph

Full Explanation Of New
Contest in Tomor-
rows Times

The washington Times offers To-
day an opportunity to its readers
to test and to develop powers Of
observation. This opportunity also
takes form OF ready money.
Few factors are more important
for success in life than keen OBJ
seryation. This faculty is necessary
in virtually all lines Of endeavor.
The difficulty In recognizing differ
ences In things that superficially
appear very much or exactly alike
is often the hidden stone over which
the runner trips.
People sometimes look exactly
alike. On close scrutiny they are
found to be very different. One OF
the most difficult tasks is to make
sure Of the difference.
The best known method Of fixing
identity is that used by the finger
print.
Times to Use Method
The finger-print method with gov
eminent experts will be used by
The Washington Times in this
most interesting and absorbing test
to be conducted.
Hospitals all over the world are
now using the finger-print and foot
print method. Babies are positively
and definitely identified beyond
caviI of doubt by the footprint
method. First finger.prlnts were
used in hospitals where babies were
born. Later the foot impression
method was found to be more salts
factory.
The old method of tying tags to
babies is now in the discard
Finger-print methods were used in
hospitals and during the late war
soldiers were positively identified
by this method. Often with no
clue other than a finger-print, the
in the Veterans Bureau were gone
over to solve to very definite end
the mystery surrounding the death
or accident Of an individual.
Many Romantic Tales
Many romantic tales can be told
of the ways and means of Identify
ing criminals through the finger
print method.
Frencis Gallon, English finger
print pioneer. once estimated that
the chance Of two sets of finger
prints being identical was / in
81 ,000, 00O,O
The finger-print method Of identi-
fication has become universal in
business at the present time. Manu-.
featuring plants, banks. banking
houses and clearing houses. large
mercantile establishments of all
kinds have used this method of
Identification for some years.
Some banks also keep finger-prints
of depositors, and where a finger
print is impressed on check In ad.
dition to a signature forgery Is said
to be virtually impossible.

cation of criminals takes into &C.
