“How simple it would be now to
settle all questions of the identity
of the ‘Love of Mike’ baby. Either
it is the Wentz baby or it is not.
The footprints would determine be
yond a possibility of doubt, and a
great deal of unnecessary trouble
would be eliminated for everybody.
"It would be impossible to keep
finger prints of babies, owing to the
difficulty of manipulating their lit
tle fingers, one by one. The capil
lary ridges on the ball of the foot
are just as good for identification
purposes, and could be obtained very
easily.”
Mr. Tittle said he was in favor of
a system of universal finger or foot
print bureaus, not only for criminals,
but for all classes of society. The
footprints of babies should be taken
in the hospital where the child is
born, he said, and one copy given
to the mother to keep and another
to some central bureau, either in the
hospital or the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics. Whenever such an emergen
cy as the Wentz case arose, in which
there was doubt as to the identity
of a child, the prints would supply
the answer. Even mother lore may
lead to mistaken identity, but foot
prints never err.
The system already is being used
in the Chicago Lying-In hospital, as
an additional protection against the
possible confusion of babies. Mr.
Tittle said many efforts had been
made by fingerprint enthusiasts to
establish the system in New York
hospitals, but so far the public had
not been sufficiently interested to
force the reform. The increasing
number of cases of lost babies dur
ing the last year, however, led him
to express the opinion that mothers
would soon realize the necessity of a
reliable system of identifying them.
At present all a mother has for
identification is the color of hair and
eyes and a possible mark or scar on
the child’s body. These have been
shown to be inadequate, but foot
prints would be infallible and un
changeable.
Trade Conferences Held
Where Spies Formerly
Gathered and Conspired
THE HAGUE.—Trade conferences
between bankers, merchants and
salesmen of the entente countries
and central powers have succeeded
the mysterious gatherings of spies in
the hotels here and at Amsterdam.
The iron, steel, shoes, ships and
sealing wax of commerce are the
topics instead of the routes of sub
marines, troop ships and food ships.
Whatever may be the opinion in
America, or England, or France, re
garding resumption of business with
Germany and Austria, the represen
tatives of the business concerns of
those countries show notning but a
keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.
The other day, at one of The
Hague hotels the groups seated in
the lobby, engaged in earnest con
versation on trade subjects, included:
One- —English ship owners and di
rector of one of Germany’s biggest
trans-Atlantic lines:
Two—Belgian banker and German
automobile manufacture!*;
Three—American traveling sales
men and a Hungarian general impor
ter.
All of them so far as the corre
spondent could judge from the frag
ments bf’- their conversation that
came to his ears, were on friendly
terms and keen for business.

SENATOR SMITH,
AT MACON, GIVES
VIEWS ON TREATY
MACON, Ga., Dec. 23.—Defending
his vote in the senate against the
treaty of Versailles, Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, declared in an
address here last night that he did
not believe treaty would stop wars
but that he is willing to "try it with
reservations.”
The senator characterized article
ten as “vicious,” but said the treaty
would have been ratified by the sen
ate if it had been submitted in the
form originally proposed by Presi
dent Wilson. He made no prediction
as to the ultimate disposition of the
treaty by the senate.
The senator’s reception here was
most cordial and he was greeted by
an audience made up of people from
all over central and south Georgia,
many coming from Forsyth, Sparta,
Cordele, Fort Valley and surrounding
towns. In fact, the senator remark
ed on recognizing among his hear
ers many of his friends from various
sections of the state.
Senator Smith’s address was pro
moted by a desire to answer requests
which he had received from the Ma
con city council and several civic
bodies to vote for the treaty when
it was first offered for considera
tion by the senate. The senator re
affirmed his stand against the treaty
and the League of Nations in their
present form.
In the event of an effort to wrest
Korea from Japanese rule, said the
senator, “we are bound under this
treaty to come to Japan’s assistance.
And Japan is the Germany of the
Orient and her rule in Korea equals
that of Germany’s devastation of Bel
gium.”
"All questions of immigration can
be the subject of investigation by
the council,” said the senator. "They
might question our right to deport
the 'reds’ as we did Sunday. I am un
willing for anybody to have anything
or any country to have anything to
say, except ourselves, about whom
we are going to let live here with
us.”
The senator said H. G. Wells, the
"foremost writer on the league,”
wfote that the league would have
dominion over the “negro question."
"I trust President Wilson. I trust
him more than any man who will be
his successor, but I am in favor of
Congress saying how your money
shall be spent, where yOur troops
shall be sent. I believe the congress
shall have the right to select the
man who shall represent the United
States in this council.”
Senator Smith said the question
of having troops in Russia had
never come before the senate.
"We have 12,000 men there now;
for what we don’t know. They are
not at war. Congress has declared
no war.”
“Sanitary Kiss” Inventor
Sees Reason to Change Mind
HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—Dr. E.
W. Grover, former city health of
ficer, who originated the "sanitary
kiss,” a year or so ago, has re
treated from his position. He now
announces the following policy:
“All men are born free and equal.
Endowed with Certain inalienable
rights among these being life, liberty
and right of unrestricted osculation.”
He said he had reached this con
clusion after more than a year of
careful consideration of the general
subject of kissing. He formerly be
lieved there might be a considerable
exchange of disease germs resulting
from the habit.
Dr. Grover achieved fame by pre
paring a wire frame, something on
the order of a fly swatter, covered
with medicated gauze, for the “sani
tary kiss." He received communica
tions from all parts of the country
regarding his invention.
Airplane and Doctor Lose
Race With Death for Child
HARRISBURG, Pa.—An army av
iator and a Middletown physician lost
a race with death in an attempt to
give medical attention to John Krone,
aged nine seriously hurt and marooned
on an island in the Susquehanna
river. The boy was dead when the
doctor arrived.
The child was injured when a
tree he was cutting fell and pinned
him to the earth. His father, at a
great risk to his own life, braved
the ice-filled river in a small boat
to get a doctor for his son. The
doctor thought it unwise to make
the trip back to the island.
Lieutenant Ray W. Brown, of the
Middletown aviation depot, and Dr.
J. B. Blecher made the trip later
but found the boy dead.

PASTOR’S STORY OF VISITS OF
WIFE’S SPIRIT A ROUSES COMMENT
PHILADELPHIA.—-The Rev. Dr.
Russell H. Conwell, veteran pastor
of Grace Baptist temple, who has
just returned from a lecture tour,
tells in detail of visits he had re
ceived from the spirit of his dead
wife and how she had conversed
with him. He also described two
tests he made to verify the spiritua
listic character of his experiences,
and said he is making a thorough in
quiry into spiritualism.
Publication several days ago of a
statement that Dr. Conwell had told
of the visitations of his wife aroused
a storm of discussion and contro
versy among clergymen and psychol
ogists.
Dr. Lightner Witmer, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania’s psycholog
ical laboratory; Dr. Joseph H. Leidy,
a noted neurologist, and others have
attributed Dr. Conwell’s experiences
to the operation of his sub-conscious
mind. This explanation does not sat
isfy Dr. Conwell, who, while not a
convert to spiritualism, is profound
ly impressed.
"The simple facts are that for sev
eral weeks my wife seemed to ap
pear to me in the early morning
hours, before I had arisen for the
day,” said Dr. Conwell today. “I
seemed to be awake and cannot con
vince myself that I was asleep.
“She talked with me as familiarly
as when living about things which
had occurred since her death, and
I was so much impressed that I de
termined to make a test experiment
to see whether I was laboring under
an hallucination.
“When I awoke and found the
form of my wife sitting on the bed
one morning I said to her: 'Are you
willing I should test the question
whether this is a real appearance or
RED DEPORTATION
IS EXPLAINED TO
FOREIGN NATIONS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—An ex
planation of the deportation of the
249 radical Russians on the trans
port Buford was cabled by the state
department today to "various for
eign capitals.”
The massage said precaution had
been taken “to request for them safe
conduct and humane treatment 1 at
the hands of the authorities under
whose jurisdiction they will pass an
route to soviet Russia.”
“There are being deported from
the United States to soviet Russia
about 250 citizens of Russia who are
undesirable here. These persons
while enjoying hospitality of this
country, have conducted themselves
in a most obnoxious manner; and
while enjoying the benefits and liv
ing under the protection of this gov
ernment have plotted its overthrow.
They are a menace to law and or
der. They hold theories which are
antagonistic to the orderly process
of modern civilization. They have
indulged in practices which tend to
subvert the rights, which the con
stitution of the United States guars
antees its citizens. They are ar
rayed in opposition to government,
to decency to justice. They plan to,
apply their destructive theories' by
violence in derogation of law. They
are anarchists. They are persons of
such character as to be undesirable
tn the United States of America and
are being sent whence they came.
The deportation is in accordance with
the law.
“Precaution has been taken to re
quest for them safe conduct and hu
mane treatment at the hands of the
authorities under whose jurisdiction
they will pass en route to soylet

Say Norman Hapgood
Showed Sympathy for
Bolshevik Government
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Senator-
Lodge, chairman of the foreign rela
tions committee, declined today to
discuss a published report that Nor
man Hapgood, minister to Denmark,
decided to return to the United States
after the state department learned
the committee was prepared to make
public information which was ex
pected to show activities and sym
pathies for the Russian Soviet gov
ernment.
The only comment from Senator
Lodge was that Hapgood’s nomina
tion died with the last session of
congress and that no recess appoint
ment has been made. The commit
tee secured information several
months that provoked such deter
mind opposition to confirmation of
Mr. Hapgood that Secretary Lansing
was informed the appointment would
not be approved. Members of the
committee, it is said, were prepared,
if necessary, to present this informa
tion to the senate and possibly to
the public.
The Information obtained from
Paris, New York and other places,
is said reliably to be similar to re
ports published that Mr. Hapgood
Interested himself toward fostering
commerce between American export

“Note-Writing Bandit”
Back Again in Prison
RAWLINS, Wyo.—High walls of
the Wyoming penitentiary have once
more shut Bill Carlisle, bandit ana
train robber, from the world. Las«.
week a Union Pacific trajn—one oi
the kind Carlisle was wont ro rob
so debonairly—paused here long
enough to discharge the bandit and
his guards, and they drove up th#
long straight hill from the depot to
the prison, exciting scarcely any at

At the door of the prison Carlisle
was met by Warden Brine, from
whose custody he had escaped, No

“Hello, Bill,” was the warden’s
greeting.
“Howdy, Cap,” replied the bandit.
That was all, and Carlisle became,
again, nothing but a number and so

Carlisle had been recuperating
from the bullet wound in his chest

“She smilingly said she was willing
and even wished that I would do so.
I then asked her to tell me where
was my discharge from the army,
which I had lost years ago.
“She told me it was in a black
lacquer work box, which had fallen
back of a row of books on the third
shelf of my library. When her form
had faded out I arose and went to
my library and found the box where
she said it was. In it was my dis
charge paper.
“The next day I requested one of
my house servants, a young woman,
to hide my gold pen and penholder
which my wife had given me many
years ago.
“The next morning, when at the
same time my wife seemed to be
sitting on the bed, I asked her if she
knew where that pen and penholder
were hidden.
“She said, ‘Of course,’ and arose
as naturally as in life and asked me
to follow her. She led me to a
clothes closet and I opened the door.
She pointed to the upper shelf. I
got up on a chair and felt in the
back of the shelf and my fingers
touched the pen and penholder. When
I got down from the chair and turn

DECLINE IN FOOD
PRICES PROMISED
WITH NEW YEAR
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The
American people have been informed
by Attorney General Palmer that
they may expect a decline in retail
food prices with the advent of the
new year, and coming at this time,
the announcement will add cheer to
the yuletide celebration.
Retail food prices ordinarily show
a downward trend during the first
two months of a year, Attorney Gen
eral Palmer explained, and it is be
lieved “that this trend will be ac
celerated this year by the campaign
initiated by the government which is
just now getting well under way.”
Primary factors involved in the
cost of living, which already is un
der the control, the attorney general
said, are increased production, the
elimination of extravagant buying
and the determined hunting down of
profiteers.
"If anyone who produces will pro
duce his utmost; if those who buy
and consume will save and eliminate
extravagance, and if all honest peo
ple will join with the department of
justice in stamping out profiteering
and hoarding," the cost of living can
be reduced, he declared.

MEXICAN CABINET
OFFICIAL SCOUTS
IDEA OF RUPTURE
MEXICO ClTY.—Mexico is confi
dent there will be no break in rela
tions with the United States, par
ticularly because it believes the
American people are opposed to in
tervention, Aguilar Berlanga, minis
ter of gubernacion, said in an in
terview yesterday. His post is
equivaleiit to that of premier.
"I confidently expect that no
break in relations will occur,” Pre
mier Berlanga declared. “The point
of view taken by Mexican's in con
sidering the possibility of Ameri
can intervention is zased on the
conviction that the people of the
United States are opposed to it. In
tervention is only desired f>y certain
conscienceless politicians and a cer
tain class of business men who do
not represent the true sentiment of
the American people or the Ameri
can government.
"In the matter of relations be
tween Mexico and the United States
there is a great advantage in that
both governments are actuated by
the best desires. Conflicts which
arise are provoked by passion or
commercialism on the part of groups
hostile to Mexico and which are ac
tive outside American administra
tion circles. Expatriated Mexicans
also have a hand in this evil in the
undertaking which fortunately is
unsuccessful to date, so far as its
ultimate aims are concerned.”
“We have photograph copies of
documents proving that anti-Mexi
can propaganda is being conducted
by American publicity enterprises
paid for by the enemies of our re
public or of its administration,” he
said.

JEWELS OF A PRINC ESS OF
EGYPT OF 1900 B. C. SHOWN
NEW YORK.—Jewelryw orn by an
Egyptian princess of the twelfth dy
nasty, 1,900 years before the Chris
tian era, is now on display at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is
declared to be the finest collection
of personal adornment ever brought
out of Egypt.
When marauders entered the tomb
of Princess Sathathoriunut at some
odd moment in the last 3,800 years,
they took away her mummy and
even the elaborate funeral trappings
but overlooked a niche containing
the wonderfully wrought ornaments
she wore when attending the ancient
equivalent of a first night at opera.
Prof. W. M. Flinders Petrie, head
of an English archeological society
dug the collection out in 1914, and
today it looks as bright as if it
had just come from the makers.
It consists of a gold necklace in
laid with a carenlian lapis lazuli
and green feldspar and another pec
toral similarity made of King Sen
usert 11, father of the princess; a
gold collar of double lion heads, a
girdle of gold with rhombic jeweled
heads, a necklace of amethyst with
LIQUOR MEN TO
USE POLITICIANS,
DRY LEADERS SAY
Anti-prohibition in America will
not attempt further attacks on the
validity of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the constitution, but will
endeavor, through the election of
congressmen friendly to the liquor
interests, to modify the enforcement
laws to such an extent that the con
stitutional amendment will be prac
tically worthless, was the opinion
expressed by speakers at the lunch
eon given at the Ansley hotel, in
Atlanta, under the auspices of tha
Anti-Saloon league.
The luncheon was attended by
more than 200 prominent Atlanta
business and clergymen, in addition
to a number of men from various
cities who have been active in the
wprk of the league. Asa G. Cand
ler presided at the session, and, In
introducing the speakers, indorsed
the plan of the league for prohi
bition law enforcement during nex:
year.
Dr. Ira Landrith, of Nashville, na
tional lecturer for the Anti-Saloon
league, and Dr. P. A. Baker, of Mont
gomery, Ala., general superintendent
of the league, the principal speakers,
spoke enthusiastically on the neces
sity for continued fight against the
liquor interests of America, and both
declared that the Anti-Saloon league
had still a hard fight before it in
order to prevent the mutilation of
the existing prohibitory laws.
