Finsrer-Tip Evidence Found Not to Be So Accurate But Doubt Remains. New York The value of finger prints in evidence will have a practi cal test aa a result of the action of Police Captain Joseph Faurot, Assist ant District Attorney Breckenrldge and Mark Alter, a lawyer, yesterday. The three men appeared before Mag istrate Appleton, in the Jefferson Market Court, in the case of Henry Millings. No. 3 East 100th street, who is accused of having assisted In a burglary on November 30 in-a build ing at No. 84 Eat Twenty-ninth street. In nearthlng for evidence Captain Faurot found finger prints on a safe. He photographed them. In court he testified that a comparison of the prints on file indicated that Milling's fingers left the impression. Mr. Alter, counsel for Milling, de nied the charge of burglary, but, he said, granting that the prints on the safe were from Milling's fingers, there was nothing to (how that the man had not been in the building a week before the burglary on legiti mate business and accidentally touch ed the safe. Cap'a'n Faurot nald the Imprfssion was left within a day or two, declaring that the moisture left on an object would dry noon and no imprint would be visible. To determine how long a print will remain, Captain Faurot, Mr. Alter and Mr. Breckenrldge left impressions of their fingers on the court safe. The clerk was ordered to put a barrier around the ;sf& for five days, when it was agreed the Impressions should be photographed if they were still in existence. To make double sure of his theory Captain Raurot had the experience repeated at headquarters. Mill'ngs was held pending the result of the test. t OLD ENGLAND'S MONEY-MAKER Her Great Mint In 1910 Turned Out Coin by Millions of Pound. London. A wealth of figures such as would deeply Impress even a Croe- fus are as uual contained In the an nual report of the deputy master and comptroller of the mint. Among the items it appears that the gold coins received and weighed at the Rank of England during the year amounted to 53 392,085 pieces, as compared with 54.853,882 In 1900 The percentage of light sovereigns was lower than in the previous year while that of half-sovereigns showed a light rise. The demand by the Bank of Eng land for silver coin amounted to more than double that of 1900, and reached a figure, namely, 1,065,400 pounds which has not been exceed ed since 1889 and 1890. Of the total, 470.900 represented shillings.

It cannot, of course, describe Its feelings tout as a preliminary measure you are nafe In trying a mild laxative. Nine times out of ten. you will find It Ih all the child needs, for Its reat- leBinps and peevishness are perhaps due to obxtruc t'.on of the bowels, and once that has been remedied the headache, the (lugglshnes and the many other evidences of ronxtipation and indigestion will iulckiy disap pear. Don't give the little one salts, ca thartic pills or nasty waters, for these will act as purgatives, and they are too rtrong for a child. In the famil ies of Mrs. S. K. HIauifhter, 1325 Spruce street. Pueblo, Colo., and Mrs. Ida A. Brlnger, 755 So. Grant street, Denver, Colo., the only laxative given Is Dr. Caldwell's flyrup-Pepsin. It ha been found to answer most per fectly all the purposes of a laxative, and its very mlldne.-s and freedom from griping recommend its especial ly for the use of children, women and old folks generally people who need a gentle bowel stimulant.

The general account of expenses and receipts for 1910 shows a profit of 1.505,939, as against 85,951 pounds In the previous year. There was a startling increase In the number of persons charged un der the coinage offenses act, there being altogether 181 convictions. About 3256 pieces of counterfeit coin were taken possession of by the po lice. The deputy marf vo prepared an estimate of the amount of gold coin In the United Kingdom at the end of 1910. He put) the figure at 113, 000,000 pounds Portland, Ore., 'Dec. 1. Governor Oswald 'West feels sure that In 1913 the people of Oregon will approve by votes at the polls his belief that capi tal punishment is wrong. He has re ceived statistics and expressions of other governors from all over the United States approving his own de cision that there shall be no more hangings in Oregon so long as he is governor unless the people at the next general election vote to continue the enforcement of the capital punishment law. "These figures and telegrams from other governors prove," said Governor West, "not only that capital punish ment has not been a deterent of crime in the states where It la prac ticed, but that crime has decreased in the state where capital punishment has been abolished and less barbarous and more humanitarian methods of punishment substituted." Governor West has these telegrams Against lIuiiKlns. Governor Stubbs of Kansas Kan sas has not had a legal hanging in 40 years. Sentiment unanimous against capital punishment. Statistics post tively favor this movement. Governor Osborn of Michigan. It is my opinion that the anti-capital punishment law now in vogue in this state is an unqualified success. It has conduced to more satisfactory results and better conditions in the adminis tration of criminal Justice. I am sure that Michigan would not revert to old conditions. Records show no increase in crime since hanging has been abol ished. Governor Porter of Rhode Island No increase in crime is attributed to the abolishment of capital punishment 40 years ago. No concerted effort has ever been made to revert to former methods. Duncan McGregor, private secretary of governor of Wisconsin Wisconsin atollshed capital punishment 60 years i ago. Present plan entirely satisfac tory. These same telegrams were used by H. G. Cattell, who introduced a bill to do away with capital punishment In California at the last legislative ses sion of that state. Innocent Man Executed. It Is recorded that the reason Rhode Island did away with capital punish- ment was because 40 years ago an in nocent man was hanged. Capital punishment was abolished in Maine in 1887 when two innocent men were saved Just on the steps of the scaffold by the confession of the guilty man. Governor Marshall of Indiana has declared against capital punishment and by commuting sentences shown that there will be no more hangings in iiiuiuuu wniie ne is governor. in. Kansas the capital punishment law was repealed three years ago as a dead letter, there never having been a legal hanging in the state. Thirty-two death sentences have been commuted in North Carolina in the last 10 years. California has had 4 7 legal hang ings and 12 sentences have been com muted. "Other states are turning from capi tal punishment," said Governor West. "I eannot understand why or ' how Oregon people, citizens of one of the most enlightened and progressive states In the union, should persist in legalizing hangings.

"The voter," so far as he Is con cerned, votes not only on the contin ued legalization of capital punishment by the state but determines whether In this Christian era of humanitarian ism we shall persist In the use of the methods of the dark and barbarous ages In the- punishment of criminals. "It Is for that reason," added Gov ernor West, "that I believe that the people as a whole would better bear the burden of saying by a vote at the polls whether we shall continue to have capita punishment in Oregon. I have confidence In the result be cause any thinking man knows that cur hangings and other means of snuffing out the lives of the crimi nals during the past hundreds of yVars have not effectually restrained crime."

He'is not quite so fresh and vigorous as his mother4 although he is still capable of doing a good day1 work and enjoying such small luxuries of life as a pipe and the strong spirits drunk by the Bulgar ian populace.
