This is only one of the thou- sand and more ways In which such a system would prove of inestimable value to the country. his is especially interesting when it is further understood that the sys- tem can be employed to identity, with reasonable certainty, even upon a tele- graphic statement of the classifica- tions as found in the prints of the fingers, to be, when necessary, later verified bevond possibility of a doubt by the comparison of the prints them- selves, disclosed and located by the machine working upon such classi- fication. Many Unidentified Bodies. “Every day’s public_print discloses the finding of some body which re- mains_unidentified, or which is only partially identified. With such a sys- tem in vogue there would no longer be any unidentified bodies. No mat- ter where or when a body was found. its positive identification would be but a matter of a very short time, and that whether the person in life had been a resident of the locality where found or some remote part of the country. “The possibilities of good in such a system. as well as the possibilities from the point of view of law_and order, can hardly be appreciated. With such accuracy available, it would seem but a matter of a short time before means would be found of taking ad- vantage of such a system and estab- lishing a central bureau which would perform the functions, a few of which have been indicated, and thousands of others for the general good.” ARRESTS MADE IN CASES UNDER PROHIBITION LAWS Lynchburg Man Accused of Having 98 Gallons of Corn Whisky in Automobile Truck. Charged with transporting whisky, and also with carrying a concealed weapon, a man who said he is Lang Clay Rorer, fifty years old, of Lynch- burg, Va., was arrested last night by Policemen C. A.
