'DISPELS ENGLISH CRIMINAL THEORY Sergeant M'Nally Says Criminals are Not Distinguishable by Profiles.

HOLDS OTHER IDEAS

Believes When Man Blushes a "Beautiful Red" He is Innocent.

The English theory that criminals are distinguishable by their profiles or by any other characteristics is dispelled by First Sergeant McNally of the police department. Mr. McNally says that it is almost impossible to tell whether or not a man is a criminal until he is actually known to have committed a criminal act. The most popular theory advanced on a method of distinguishing criminals without actually coming in contact with them or knowing by previous reputation that they are criminals, is that of the form of the profile. Hundreds of charts have been prepared giving specific profiles of criminals, and general diagrams were formerly circulated in many of the larger police and detective agencies of the country. These general diagrams numbered fifteen or twenty and were made each to fit as many as a dozen of the specific outlines of the criminal profile. m Has. Studied Theory. The police sergeant has made some study of criminal profiles. This was Interesting work, the sergeant says, until he ran across one of the most Industrious and honest business men in Richmond whose profile and shape of head was that of the worst type of criminal, an inherent man killer. This man was of gentle temperament and had never committed a crime or a misdemeanor as far as could be ascertained. "The criminal, sometimes has a shifty eye," said Sergeant McNally. "This is not always a distinguishing characteristic though, because honest and respectable citizens might be subject to the same thing. There is no law which works out in picking criminals. Criminal Not Confused. "Contrary to the theory of most people, I believe that when a man blushes, turns red and stammers when confronted with an accusation, it is almost always a sign that he is innocent. A real criminal will not become confused when he is accused but the blushes of an innocent man rather denote a modesty and respect for himself. Mental uneasiness cannot be taken for the sign of a criminal, either, tut often a man who has committed his first offense is subject to racking worry." Contrary to a prevailing belief, the famous Bertillion finger print and criminal distinguishing system, does not aid the police in capturing any but a hardened criminal. A man who has committed his first crime cannot be identified by the Bertillion system and even persons who have committed many petty misdemeanors need not fear this method of identifying old criminals. This is due to the fact, the sergeant says, that the police departments which use the system, do not take the measurements or distinguishing features of any but criminals of the worst type or police : characters who might develop into bad criminals. "The use of the system is confined to the larger cities," said Sergeant McNally. "Small cities cannot afford to employ Bertillion experts to do the work which would be meager in a city of this size. For that reason, the Bertillion system fails many times because the police cannot take measurements of the criminals of the town nor can they identify any out-of-town criminals by the system." "Galleries" Important. The "rogues galleries" in use in al- . most every city, are a great assistance to police departments, says McNally. However the police are sometimes lax on securing pictures when they have the opportunity. The local police department had several chances to photograph Joseph Snyder, alias Steward, who murdered Henry Dayton in 1911, but they did not take the chance and s a result, when Snyder escaped, there was no photograph of him in existence. The "rogues gallery" at the city hall Is the personal property of Chief of Police Gormon and contains the pictures of many of the well known criminals in the country. These pictures have been collected by the police chief after forty years of work and he regards the collection as a prized article.

Request Merchants to Use Yellow and White.

Uniformity in colors and general scheme of decoration during the Fall Festival is being sought by the decorating committee, says Eimer Eggemeyer, chairman. The committee is anxious to have the work as artistic as posible, and has requested the merchants who intend to decorate their business house to use only new material and the Fall Festival colors of yellow and white. Mr. Eggemeyer said the committee had no method of forcing the business men to do as they requested, but would have to depend upon them to co-operate- for the success of the festival.

FARM BRINGS $16,000 The 163 acre farm, located four miles west of Centerville, owned by the Neff brothers, has been sold to Clayton Hunt of this city.

Cambridge City, Dublin, Hagerstown, Greensfork, Economy, Williamsburg, Fountain City, Lynn, Winchester, Union City, Bethel and Whitewater. The trip was made without serious mishap to any of the cars, although at least ten of the cars were laid up for a short time for slight repairs. Just before the cars reached Winchester the boosters met a horse and buggy on a narrow strip of road, which required a sudden slackening of the machines. The machine driven by Clifford Price collided with the machine driven by Norman Craighead and some damage was done to both machines. Both cars continued on the trip after temporary repairs. All along the route of the boosters, farmers were out along the road

watching the procession. At Williamsburg. At Williamsburg the party was served with a chicken dinner and after an hour's stop the party continued to Winchester. At Fountain City the business men met the boosters with a reception committee. It was announced that the business men of the city would close their places of business on Thursday and ihe entire population would come to Richmond to attend the Festival. All along the route the boosters were met with smiles and the declaration that "We are all coming to the Festival."

GRAVEL Oil ROAD INFERIOR-REPORT

That an inferior quality of gravel is being used in the construction of the E. R. Cox road in the northern part of Wayne county, bordering Randolph county, was the report received by the county commissioners. The road is being built under the three-mile road law and the expense Is being paid by both Wayne and Randolph counties. Gravel in that vicinity is scarce and the nearest available pits are three miles from the road. According to County Surveyor Peacock too much sand and not enough gravel is being; used. An agreement was reached last evening between the contractor and the county officials. Recently the commissioners were requested by residents along the road to make a better but narrower high-

The recent visit of the King and Queen of Spain to England -again demonstrated how exceedingly popular Alfonso is in London. Wherever he went he was the center of attention and there was general rejoicing among the nobility that he would add his brilliant presence to the regatta at Cowes. But the rejoicing was short lived. Alfonso received word from some of his ministers that his presence was required at Madrid at once on acount of new and formidable developments in the ranks of the revolutionists. With great regret, therefore, the younthful king was obliged to hasten to his capital, leaving the queen in England to complete her visit with her mother.

Early Use of Tobacco. I have heard my grandfather say that one pipe was handed from man to man round about the table. They had first silver pipes, the ordinary sort made use of a walnut shell and a straw. Tobacco was sold then for its wofht in silver. I have heard some of our old yeomen neighbors say that when they went to Malmesbury or Chippenham market they culled out their biggest shillings to lay in the scales against the tobacco. Sir W. R., standing in a stand at Sir Robert Foyntz's park at Acton, took a pipe of tobacco, which made the ladies quit it until he had done. "Brief Lines Set Down by John Aubrey," 16C9-96.
