Criminals specializing in kidnap-
ing and extortion are receiving
special attention these days in the
fingerprint division of the Depart
ment of Justice.
Not only are they classified &C
cording to the imprint of their
fingers, as is done in every finger
print case, but they are further
classified by thumbs or single
finger.
It would be impossible to de-
termine the name of person sus-
pected of a crime by wading
through the 100000 fingerprints
now on file, John j. Edwards, as
siStant director of the Identified
ton Bureau of the Department of
Justice, said today in explaining
the new system of classification.
British System Used
The fingerprint system used by
the Government is that devised in
1900 by Sir E. R. Henry, of Scot
land Yard. Each curve, line, and
arch means something to finger
print experts and each of them
is given a sign of arbitrary value.
These values are added and the
flngerprint is given the figure.
In cases, therefore, where a

County Reforms Proposed
To Improve Schools

"Thus it is seen that the
financial operation of the
schools in the counties is
largely free from any super
vision or control by the board
of supervisors. This cOndi-
ton has given rise to the
charge that Virginia counties
have two governments, one for
schools and another for other
functions"
It has been recommended that
the division Superintendent of
schools be made a statutory Off.
Ger, appointed by the administra.
tive head of the county govern.
ment. He should have complete
charge of both the pedagogical
and business phases of the school
work and he should be respon'
sible for preparation of the
school budget for the chief ad'
ministrative officer and the
board of supervisors.
In the case of small and poor
counties administration of school,
work, the recommendation calls
for the combining of several
county school systems into one
under the supervision of one
superintendent. This, obviously,
would reduce the costs of schools.

PROVIDED
FOR JOBLESS

Mt. Weather, Va, formerly an
experimental station of the
Weather Bureau, will become a
camp for $50 transient jobless in
the District. There are IS acres
of land there, and buildings cost
ing $175,OOO. The plant has been
turned over by the Department
of Agriculture to the District re-
lief agency.
The first group of men for the
work camp will be on the job
there in two weeks. They will
first be engaged in a renovating
program. There are seven build
ings, including a large observa-
tory and an administration hall.
OF late the place has been &C.
cupied only by a caretaker.
At one time Mt. Weather was
considered as a possible site for
the SUMMER white House for
President Coolidge.

To ACT SOON

Civil works projects for Airing
ton county, Va, now waiting ap-
proval of State officials of the
Civil Works Administration may
be acted upon this week, officials
at Arlington courthouse said to-
day.
Registration of unemployed is
still being carried on at the office
Of Miss Mae Jacobs, director of

culture.
Chief of the county projects al
ready approved is extensive grad
ing and construction work at the
Westinghouse High School, Ball

ROAD ROUTE| IN
FEW DAYS
New Highway From Baltimore
North and East Financed
as Part of PWA Program

BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.-Route
for a new highway from Baltimore
to the North and East will be
selected within the next few days
by the State Roads Commission.
This road will be constructed
with part of the $11,00o,00 which
the State will receive from the
Federal Government as part Of
the PWA program.
One proposed route parallels
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
tracks and a $50 foot right Of
way is available, it was under
stood. The proposed road would
be of the dual type, two paved
sections 20 feet wide being
by a 30-foot grass plot.
On either side of the paved Sec
ton there would be a 10-foot
graveled shoulder. Cost OF this
road is estimated at 1927 900.
The proposed road would be
parallel to the present Philadel-
phia highway but southeast Of it.
Several months ago the COM
mission suggested that the Phila-
delphia road be improved, at q
cost of about $4,000, 900. This plan
was rejected and the proposal
made that a new highway be con-
Structed,

Scotland Yard System Help to Federal Justice
Bureau, But Supplemental American
Method Goes Even Further

'fingerprint is sent to the Govern
ment and the name of the sus-
pect is not known, experts merely
go through the routine of adding
the figures and refer to their files
for the name of the criminal-if
he has a previous record.
The work is done with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision which precludeS
any possibility of assigning a fin
gerprint to a wrong person.
In cases, however, where police
have obtained only meager clue
to the identity of the suSpect-in
a case, for instance, where an eX-
tortionist has unwittingly left the
impression of one finger in send
ing a letter-it is impossible to
apply the scientific principles OF
the Henry system, for in the Eng
lishman's system there must be
10 fingers.
New Method Devised
A new system, therefore, was
devised by the Department OF
Justice, whereby identification Of
a suspect can be made with only
a thumb or finger.
This is done by cutting into
pieces the 10-finger imprint and
filing the parts separately.
When a rush order comes
through now, experts refer to this
single-finger file and can tell in
an hour who the suspect is, if he
has criminal record.
The Lindbergh kidnapping case
is partly responsible for the inlo-
Walton. In this case, although
police sent no fingerprints to
Washington, experts here could
have thrown no light on the
identity of the criminals, even if
impressions had been sent. If
clues consist of 10 fingers, of
course the ordinary procedure
would be used.
Salient feature of the new
classification is that not all
fingerprints are thus classified
but only those of known special
lists in crime. To date $500 sub

nanceS. Under the law the
board of supervisors levies the
school tax, usually after an
examination of the school
budget in conference with the
school board, and is required
to approve in advance any
emergency ver-expenditureS
or temporary borrowings for
schools.
I'm practice, however, it is
maintained by members of
boards of supervisors that they
have no knowledge of or part
in the administration of school
finances. Thus, in practice,
all school funds are under
the control of the school board,
not the board of supervisors.
BOARD FIXES BUDGET
"The school board adopts
the school budget, prepared in
the office of the superinten-
dent, and notifies the board of
supervisors of the amount of
tax levy necessary to meet it.
The accounts of school funds
are kept in the office of the
superintendent. The payment
Of salaries and other expenses
is made through this office,
on the authority of the school
board, warrants being drawn

or clerk of the school board

900 and then raised again.
Grant Is Maximum
The grant is a maximum one
that the board of education may
receive from the Government,
while it may be able to use only
a portion of it, depending on the
construction program. The loan
is secured with school bonds draw
ing per cent interest.
Advertising for bids will be be-

Banks have notified the board
that it's sinking funds will draw
3 instead of per cent interest
under the banking code, and for
that reason the board will use
about $4,000 to rebuy Prince
Georges school bonds maturing in
1884, 1888, 1910 and 1914. The
board also ordered the retirement
of a $4,000 bond on the Hyatts-
vile elementary school.

EQUABLE
INCOME URGED
BY GREEN
Partnership And Cooperation
Way Out Of Problems, Says
A. F. of l. Chieftain

Better distribution of the ma
tional income is necessary for the
national welfare, according to Will
liam Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
writing in the current issue of the
American Federationist.
Partnership and cooperation,
he declares, represent the way
out of our national problems, and
he asserts that labor stands ready
to do its part in achieving indus
trial democracy.
Urges Workers Rights
MIRA, he says, has put about
1,750,O00 persons back to work,
and has increased the buying
power of workers generally. But
if the benefits of MIRA are to be
permanent, he contends, workers
must have the right to participate
effectively in decisions affecting
their interests. He adds:
"The National Recovery Ad-
ministFatiOn has greatly con-
centrated power in the hands of
industrial executives. This is a
new grant of special privilege
to a comparatively few persons
unless it is balanced by parallel
powers for other groups con-
cerned-wage earners and con-
SumerS."
More Equal Income Asked
More equitable balance in the
distribution of income is essen
tial to prevent such breakdowns
as occurred in 1929, Green says.
Labor's attitude is constructive
and the only opposition to it
comes from those who now
have special privilege through con-
troll of decisions and have exer-
cised their power unWisely during
the last four years.
He also warns against the
danger of the fluctuating dollar
and impairment of the public
school system. Buying power of
the workers dollar is declining
he says, and must not be allowed
to lag.

WHISKY SALES
BEGINNING To
TAPER OFF
Clubs Must Buy Their Stock
From Dispensaries; Ten
Now Have Licenses

Montgomery county's liquor
control board announced today
that a tax of SO cents a barrel
and 10 cents a case, will be
levied on beer sold in Mont
gomery county.
Members of the board ex-
planned that the board would buy
the beer direct from the brewery
and sell it to the distributors, who
in turn would sell to the retail
men.
The board also ruled that the
law governing licenses for country
clubs to dispense liquor by the
drink, would stand unchanged.
The law now states that club
licenses, will have to be taken
out by one or more members OF
the club itself.
Although the 10 country clubs
have the only licensed bars In
Montgomery county, they will be
forced to buy liquor from the dis
pensaries, the liquor control board
also ruled.
The board expects a carload of
high-powered beer from MllWau-
kee, and a carload of Kentucky
whisky today.
Liquor sales in the county fell
off some yesterday, according to
officials. The Silver Spring and
Bethesda dispensaries reported a
combined sale of approximately
$50 cases, while the Rockville dis
pensary, sowing almost entirely
local trade, fell away below that
mark with sales of so cases.

This means that if police from

discover a crime and find the
impression of a single finger they
could learn the identity of the
person by sending it to Washing
ton, where a perusal of $500 in
stead of the huge number of

Falls to Low Estate

But now even he is the inno-

trade, who are cutting his throat
to Is cents per dozen in many
places and 80 cents in others.
No longer does he bring the
previous 35 cents on the hoof
hereabouts, and, indeed, he has
fallen to a despised estate
withal.
Considering the long journey
he must make to Washington
from Long Island, N. Y, two bits
per dozen for Mr.. and Mrs.
Bloodworm barely allows the re-
taller to realize his express
charges.
And there is no other source
available to Washington, the
species being a sand worm in

Jamaica being the point of ship

1--WE Was Robbed) Jacobs.
They're about convinced that
the Baer fight not only was his
worst but that it is liable to be
his last. Even at this compare
lively early moment. Mr.. McCar-
ney is considering visit to Eu-
rope in the hope Of unearthing
a few live ones before the panic
is definitely on.
Not that Schmeling has indi-
Gated that he intends to with
draw forthwith to a life Of ease
and refinement. On the con-
trary, he talks of starting all
over again to fight his way back
to the heavyweight champion
ship, but somehow you sense the
fact that his words mean little,
even to himself.
Seems Dazed
He seems dazed and uncompre-
hending, a proud man who is
trying to grope his way back to
reality from the impact OF a
great shock.
James j. Jeffries must have
been that way after the tragedy
of Reno, only he was saved this
crowning ignominy: He didn't
think his opponent was chump.
What Schmeling thought in the
first minute of play while he was
being hit with everything except
the bottle of rubbing alcohol isn't
important now. But it seems ne
lust missed being warned in ad.
vance by split-second. The oell
had rung, in fact. and the flgnterS
were on their way out Of their
corners when Mccartney, the
bearer of urgent tidings, made
the ringside with something thaI
looked like a flying mare.
Overheard Instructions
He had overheard Baer's final
instructions, which were to come
out punching. pay no attentlon 10
Schmeling, the referee, the re-
porters, the crowd, anything: just
punch, punch, punch. But the
long arm of the law had put the
collar on Mr.. Mccartney as ne
came with a rush down the aisle
and, before he could shake Oft
this unwelcome restraint, 1t was
too late.
Maybe it's too late for every
thing now. Anyhow, it may be
significant that Schmeling once
said that no prizefighter should
marry until he's ready to retire.
Two days ago, he announced his
forthcoming marriage to Amy
Ondra, of the German cinema.
But as he sailed this morning
he was still talking about his
next fight in September. I think
he almost believes it himself,
