FINGERPRINTS HELP TO TEST INTELLIGENCE Theory Is Proved by Data, Georgia Official Believes. By United Prctt ATLANTA, Ga., May 22.—Intelligence tests are baaed upon unestabllshed theories, but In the ex- | amlnation of human physiognomy' specialists finally will be able to ascertain the mental and moral characteristics of ail human beings, Governor L. G. Hardman of Georgia believes. So convinced is he that a study of physiognomy, particularly of finger prints, will result in the definite determination of character and criminal tendencies that he has recommended legislation and the estab- ■ lishment of a special chair at the state university to study the sub- | ject. For several years he has carried ; on correspondence and read reports dealing with his theory, and in that time has written scientists of Great i Britain, France, Italy and Germany j for their viewpoints. Now the Governor believes his theory has been proven correct, i “I have had the finger prints of ten patients at the state insane asylum sent to an Ohio expert,” he said. | “The reports definitely establish that there is a relation between the prints and the criminal, or insane characteristic of the patients, i “There must be definite relation between the loops and whorls of a person’s fingertips and the corresponding cells of his brain, which are connected with his fingers over a nervous system.

for authentic use wherever the in-! dividual examined came into later contact with the law. As an example of inaccuracy in describing character, the Governor declared that citizens from a Georgia county gave positive and reliable testimony that a certain man could not have committed a series of criminal attacks in Atlanta. Yet four women positively identified him as their attacker, and it was necessary to allow the electric chair to take its victim. The man had already been convicted. “An examination of his physical characteristics by one who knew how to interpret; would prevent any doubt about his possession or

For decades he practiced medicine and carried on numerous business enterprises. Late in life he was elected Governor of the state, and has held that office for four years.
