.I could go on indefinitely. These are just samples.
 But let me give you the total figures of fifty-five corporations. all of large scope and representing all lines of business.
 Twenty eight of the fifty-five show a profit of 1884 as against a loss in 1893. They lost in 1888 the sum of s31g60.000. But in 1881 these same corporations show a profit of $24,134.000.
 "Now let us take the 27 corpora tions which showed profit in both 1888 and 1894. In 1888 their profit totaled $63,30S.000. In 1884 this profit had jumped from the figure have just given you to the as- founding total of $124.671, ,000.

the part of the general public. If the people knew, say club and po- lice officials. how valuable nation wide fingerprinting would be in many ways, they would gladly sup port legislation asking for 1t and would gladly allow their prints to be taken.
 Local Files
 Waterbury has one of the most complete files of fingerprints of any city it's size in the country, but Captain Keegan and other police 0fficials believe that one of all Wa terburians' prints and the avail ability of a central state bureau, wherein would be kept prints of all Connecticut residents. would be of inestimable help. Police files at headquarters contain prints of more than 5000 persons. most of them Waterburians. A good depart of these, Captain Keegan explains, were secured during the World war days, when fingerprints of all German aliens were taken.
 It is not believed that the finger printing bill has any good chance of passing at the legislatures next session, but it's supporters are con- fident that the time is not too far distant when Connecticut will he part of a nationwide group of 48 central bureaus containing full sets of fingerprints of all Americans and persons in this country.

Plans to introduce a bill asking for the estab ablishmeIlt of a. State Bureau of Identification at the next session of the legislature, with fingerpFinting of every resident of Connecticut as part of the pro- gram, met the approval Of Water bury police officials who. were in- terviewed on the subject. The Hartford County Fingerprint Club is sponsoring the movement to bring such a bill before the next legislature and claims that 1t has many representatives of both par ties lined up behind the plan.
 Police Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean believes that the plan would help great deai in, soiv. ing crimes. < and also in locating missing persons. The police chief recalled to-day that the subject of nationwide fingerprinting had come up at recent gatherings of the International Association. of Police Chiefs and had received strong backing in influential guar. ters. t1 s8fss
 Valuable Clues
 Captain William ?. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective jbn. reau, likewise believes that author ities would be helped in their fight against crime by. the establish ment of bureaus which would have available fingerprints of all persons in the state. Fingerprints have be- come very valuable evidence in criminal cases during the years since the turn of the century. the captain points out, and they are often of almost inca1culable value in tracing down criminals after crimes have been committed.
 The Hartford County Finger print club, which is sponsoring the proposed legislation, is one If many groups throughout the coun- try whose eventual aim Is the fin- gerprinting of every person in the nation. The principal obstacle in the way of the plan, according to those who have studied it, is the objection and misunderstanding On

What started out as a nice, quiet Sunday dinner ended in city court today with fines of $5 and costs for two of the guests, a suspended sentence for a third, and a nolle for another. woman, who Is, however, recovering from severe head laceration at St Mary's hos pital. Two other guests were given nolles in court yesterday morning.
 The nolled case was that of Mrs Mary Hackerman, who is recover ing from what her husband. Matthew, said this morning was hlow from a milk bottle. He alleg ed that his mother. Mrs Selma Hackerman, employed the bottle in an effort to quiet his wife.
 The dispositions made by Judge Edward Mascolo included, be- sides the nolle for Mrs Matthew Hackerman, a suspended jail sen- tence for Michael DeCicco. 29. of 149 Orange street; fine of $5 and costs for Mrs Hackerman the old CT, and the same fine for her son.

 Patrolman Dennis Carey was the only state witness but his testi- nony was enough to convince Judge Mascolo that no matter how the guests liked it, it wasn't very orderly party,
