ia Plan to Get State Bureau
WORK BEGUN WEDNESDAY
. Chief of Police Ben T. Watkins
and W. A. Carroll, Superintendent
of the Bacon Bureau of identification
arrived at the State Prison Farm this
morning, Wednesday, to begin work
on establishing a fingerprint station
at the prison and collecting perman
ent records of the inmates now there.
The firs; time ; n the states his
tory the fingerprints of the prison
ers at the farm and their records are
being taken for file with the Nation
al Bureau. The work is leading up
to a bill to establish a permanent
identification bureau, to be intro
duced in the Legislature this sum-
Chief Watkins is of the opinion
thtt the records to be secured this
w *ek will reveal the fact that many
o{ the prisoners have other crimal
records. The permanent records that
will be secured will make the appre
hension of crimnals with other crimes
to their credit comparatively easy.
Judge B. H. Dunnaway stated to
day that the visitors would be given
every assistance in their work and
he was of the opinion that the sys
tem would improve the methods of
establishing identifications and rec
ords in the state.
Each prisoner is having his finger
print made on a card that together
with other records will be filed at
the Central Bureau and at the
National Bureau. The prisoners
interested in the procedure and
yielded readily to the routine and
questioning.

ers at the farm. The order for the
machinery was placed by Secretary
oC Stc.W iJaoir* CanwalL this week.
Judge B. /I. Dunaway stated today
that the machinery wnujd be in
stalled immediately upon receipt and
that the order would be rushed. Room
was available at the farm with out
the necessity of erecting another
buildirg, and it was believed that the
first tags would be made early in
the summer. Several months will
be necessary to complete the order
necessary to meet the states needs
and full time operation of the new
department will necessarily have to
begin in the early summer.
Judge Dunnaway has already be-
iun to make room for the new mi-
ehnery in the building so that there
will be no delay ininstallation. He
tated that a score of prisoners wodld
be necessary to operate the factory

prisoners would manage the entire

tail of manufacturing the tags.
The color and design of the new
tag has not been made known.
