BULLET PRINTS
TO AID POLICE

Boston (UP)-Bullets and guns,
as we'll as GUNNER, will be finger
printed" under a system which
may revolutionize the business of
bringing killers to justice.
Devised by Patrolman Edward
Seibold, armors and ballistics, ex-
pert, the system will permit the
police department here to. main
tain permanent. Photographic rec
ords of every bullet confiscated In
connection with .shootings. Arms
manufacturers may be required to
urnish corresponding records of
tell-tale marks on guns.
The plan is based upon the long
established fact that every bullet
bears it's distinguishing marks, as
different from all others as. one
persons finger-prints are from an
others. These marks are made by
microscopic variations on the inner
surface of the barrels of guns.
BY use Of Spencer Comparison
Microscope and an attached cam
era, the bullets will be scrutinized
photographed on sensitized paper
and classified. Then sample bullets
will be fired from revolvers found
on all persons arrested in Boston
The markings on the bullets will
be compared with those on record
in, the Bullet Finger-print Gal
lery," enabling police to determine
whether the suspect was connected
with some past shooting.

NEW ORLEANS, August 15.-Being
knight-errant to one lady politician Is
enough in one season, figured Huey P.
Long. Louisiana's "Kingfish." in turn
ing down a request from Mrs. Theodore
G. Bilbo, twice first lady of Mississippi,
who has congressional aspirations.
Mindful of Senator Longs success in
the election of Mrs Hattie Caraway to
the United States Senate from Arkan-
sas, Mrs. Bilbo telegraphed him that
she would enter the congressional race
AS a candidate at large If he would
bring his sound trucks and oratory to
Mississippi to aid her.
Il have no intentions Of going into
Mississippi" said the Kingfish yes
terday.
And these eight words end the boom
of Mrs. Bilbo, as she had said she
would not run unless Huey came over
the line and helped her. If Mrs. Bilbo
had run she would have been in a
field Of about 80 candidates, including
her husband, former Gov. Theodore
Bilbo. who is seeking comeback politi-
cally after the wrecking of his machine
in the election last year, when the Bilbo-
supported candidates made a poor
showing.
Mrs. Bilbo explained she would not
be running against her husband since
they both would be candidates at large.
If such candidates finally are permitted
by the courts and indicated it was pos
sible both she and her husband might
be elected at the same time.
Long probably was prompted in re-
jecting the invitation because of his

Even Without Colorado Mem.
Der Party Expects Short
Session Control.
Although the numerical strength OF

Although the numerical strength of
the Republicans and Democrats in the
Senate for the short term from De-
cember to March still hinges on the
outcome of the race for the vacancy
in Colorado, the probabilities are the
Republicans will retain organization
control of that branch during the short
session.
With regard to the short session, the
Senate lineup stood today as follows:
Al Republicans, Al Democrats and
Farmer-Labor, with the result of the
contest for the Colorado vacancy hang
ing on the count of about 5000 absen-
tee ballots. which will not be known
until next week.
According to an Associated Press dis
patch from Denver. Karl Schuyler, the
Republican. is holding a narrow margin
of votes over the Democrat, Walter
Walker. for this short-term vacancy on
complete unofficial reports from all
1,549 precincts in the State. Schuyler
has 200,655 and Walker 200,572 votes.
There remains, however, the absentee
ballots estimated at 5000, to be counted
next week and these hold the final an
SWer.
Even If the Democrat should finally
win this vacancy, giving that party 48
Senate seats for the short session, the
Democrats would have to have the sup
port of Senator Shipstead the lone
FarmerLabor member. to give them
clear majority fer purpose of organiza-
ton. In the past, Senator Shipstead
has been counted with the Republicans
on the question OF organization Of the
Senate.
If Schuyler wins out in the Colorado
short term race, the Republicans would
have As, the Democrats At. and Far
mer-Labor l, and in the event Of
tie. which is not probable, Vice Presi-
dent Curtis could cast the deciding vote
After March 4, when the new Sena-
tors come in, the Democrats will or-
ganize with standing of SO Democrats,

The Executive Committee of the Lake
Carriers Association yesterday an
nounced its intention of opposing con-
gressional ratification of the st. Law

open the Great Lakes to extensive salt

The following resolution, which

adopted:
Resolved. That the vessel interests
represented by the Lake Carriers Asso

and presented to the congressional
committee to which the proposed treaty
has been referred"

Less than 5 per cent of the total

a normal season needs an outlet to the
seas" he declared.
Amused BY Claims.
"It would be a colossal mistake to
commit this Government to the huge
expenditure that would be necessary to
make the waterway possible.
There is an amusing angle in the
claim of the proponents of the water

cents on the bushel for grain trans

present rate from Lake Superior to
Liverpool is only from 10 to IL cents per

The latest was at Fairfax yesterday
when four men took an undetermined

Three customers used as shields as

Cook, opened fire as they emerged. after
calling to the three hostages to drop to
the ground.
Cook who was kidnapped when the
bank was robbed last March, slipped
out back door as the robbers entered

robbers escaped. but one was wounded,
falling across the hood of the motorcar,
in which the robbers fed, after being hit

Neither the movie nor the radio had

That I should later work for the

I doubt if I could have had a better
preparation than the settlement
gave. For in those seven years I
learned that may problems attrib-
uted to race are really labor prob

or women, enjoying white or black,

I did, however, have two direct
contacts with Negro life while at
Greenpoint, and one q them, more
than any other single thing, led me
to take up colored work.
The first was the .ttitude of the
boys in our clubs toward the colored
population. I encountered it when

route lay through 6 small Negro

Settlement Work

In my youth, and it is partly true today, no place
was more remote than that section of the city in which
persons of a different caste lived. / was born and rear
ed on Brooklyn Heights. When Frederick B. Pratt of
Pratt Institute (where after leaving college | spent a year
in a secretarial position( asked me to look at a model
tenement his family had built in northern Brooklyn to
see if it offered possibilities for settlement work, he sent
me to an unknown land.
The Astral, as it was called, was one of the first
model tenements erected in Greater New York. It was
in Greenpoint, the northernnost ward Of Brooklyn. To
get there [ took a car that I had seen all my life but new
er entered, went for a couple of miles through familiar
streets, and then explored the unknown.
Sugar reflnerles gave out their sickish smell, facto-
ries loomed large, and at length Greenpoint was reach
ed, ugly but within view Of the river. 1 climbed four
flights of tenement stairs and knocked at the door of an
apartment where a girl from Minneapolis had been lv-
ing while working in the Pratt library.
In an hour she told me of conditions in nv own CITY
OF which l was utterly ignorant. | felt Inundated and
decided to take up the settlement job Since then I have
played the role of the Minneapolis girl in southern towns,
taking WIN my southern white friends and telling them

They always know all they want to know.
The Omaha guide., 1932-10-15

There was a ferVor for settlement
work in the nineties, for learning
working-class conditions by living
among the workers and sharing to
a small extent in their lives. Toyn-
bee HILL, London, Hull House,
Greenwich House the Henry Street
Settlement, these were a few IA
miliar names. My little plant grew
from five rooms to forty, occupying
a section in the mo5el tenement,
but it never achieved fame. Pratt
Institute largely furnished the
teachers, making it a practice sta
ton for students in domestic science
The Institute and the Pratt family
generously raised the money.
I had no serious financial care
and was happy in a growing family
OF residents and in the many con-
facts such work gave. 1 knew Jane
Addams and have eve forgotten
her first piece of advice II me: III
you wait to be surrounded by Sec
ond rate Utility you will dominate
your settlement. If you want the
best ability you must allow great
liberty of action among your resi-
dents"
Jane Addams's nar1 today is
among the most famous the
world. But perhaps few people
realize the incalcuIable good she
has done in helping others to en-
large and glo-ify heir own work
Many people can build heir for
time by using others. Few can en-

We worked hard at the Green
point settlement and we tried tc

The desire for sEcl knowledge was
in the mir.
New York had then the Social Re-
form Club, an organization compriS-
ing a membership of in~tellectuals
and workers. I entered it and was
soon put upon its board. Twas lucky
to begin my work at a time when
hope was in the air, not when, as
today, the at1losphera reeks with
the philosophy of economic and pSy-

We believed in political reform
and elected Seth Low mayo. We
had a tenement house department
that abolished the building of dark
almost windowless tenements. We

With this background I worked in

How muCl L helped he neighbor-
hood I do not know, not a great
deal, but I learned much myself.
Numbers Of factory girls came to
our classes and when I heard the
whistle bio at sever in the morn

Indefinite person but Mary or
Amanda or Celia, who was going to
do rough work for ten and a half
hours.
A few children were then in the
mills, and T saw one with mangled
hand who had no excuse for what
she had done except that she was
SO much a child she wanted to play
with machinery. I saw the struggle

of the unemployed. And I saw hap

For the children, with VII )m we

went to Jail.
The girls were moi SO restless, and
soon learned to wheel baby carriages
