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

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

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

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.
Voters' Responsible,
"The man who enters the polls to
vote yes or no on the abolishing of
capital punishment will be under a
