Finger prints left by a criminal at midnight may be in the Bertlllion file of every police department In tho country be fore morning, if a method of photo telegraphy demonstrated before the electric club horo by L. J. Lcischmun, inventor, comes into general use. Identification experts from the sher iff's office and representatives of a national detoctlve agency who were present at the demonstration declared that fingerprints transmitted over the wire by Mr. Lelshtnan's method wero clearer and more satisfactory In every way than photographic enlargements of the same fingerprints. Preparation of fingerprints for transmission by this method resem bles somewhat the process which would bo used if thoy were to be re produced in a newspaper. They are photographed on copper, after which the copper plate is put through a solU' Hon which washes away tho photogra phic film except where It has been ex posed to light, leaving the metal bare in tho "black portions of the picture, Tho plate is then rolled into a cylln der and slipped onto the cylinder of the transmitting machine, which looks like an old stylo phonograph. Tho olectrlc current, flowing from a cylin der to a stylus which slowly passes from ono end of the "record to un- other as It revolves, flows freely when ever tho stylus is in contact with the bare copper, but every line or dot which passes beneath it interrupts the current At the receiving end a sheet of white paper is wrapped around a cylin der, and face down upon thiB paper is wrapped a sheet of carbon tissue. A Bapphlre needle rests on the carbon so lightly that Its own weight Is not sufficient to make a carbon mark on the white paper, but electromagnets onergized by tho current from the transmitting machine, control tho pressure of the needle. While the needle of the transmlttr Is passing over bare coppr, therefore, the stylus of the receiving apparatus is bolng drawn against the carbon paper by the oloctromagnots and is accordingly registered black. Each Interruption of tho current of course, registers white; with the result that when the receiving stylus has passed.the length of the cylinder tho paper beneath It carrls an accurate print of the orig inal photograph. ThlB Bystom can ho used not only to send i fingerprints, handwriting and photographs ' to any distance that a telegram can be sent, but can also be employed in the flold of radio. Mr. Nelshman recently demonstrated its wireless efficiency over distances as great as 1200 miles by Bending' a photograph from Portland, Ore., to Los Angeles, said to be the greatest distance for radio transmission of photographs. 1923, and all creditors having claims against said deceased are hereby noti fied to present the same duly verified, and with vouchers thereunto attached, and all persons owing said estate are notified to pay their said indebtedness to me at the office of G.
