HOW POLICE REMEMBER FACES
Through hong rrac:t ice-They Acalr
H lutultlve Knowledge (
Criminal I'hr-loifnoinLe..
"How does a policeman remember
faces?" repeated a Chicago police in-
spector when the question was asked
by a Tribune man. "0 there are no
rules for Remembering faces that I
know of. It's part of a policeman's
business to remember faces and he
finally gets to doing it intuitirely
that is without any special effort.
When be sees a new crook shown up
at central his eye takes 'in all the
peculiarities of the man as well as the
color of his eyes and hair and the
general outline of his features. When
he sees that man again he will know
him -A police officer haa an excep-
tional opportunity for studying
crooks and unless he is unusually
dumb he will in a few years' time be
able to recognize any one of several
hundred crooks at sight. He first sees
the criminal perhaps when he is
brought Jnio th station. Then the
next moraviig at the trial while an
officer la waiting for the case to be
called in which he made the arrest he
will see a couple of dozen crooks in
the witness box and hare a chance to
study them carefully. He may see
every one of these men several times
after this under similar circum-
stances and finally he knows these
men so well that he could spot them
in a black alley.
"There is what we call 'show up'
every night at central police station
All of the suspects and pickups made
during the day at all the police sta-
tions in the city are sent down to cen-
tral station. A detail of detectives
and plain clothes policemen from
every station in the city go down to
central every night and the men un-
der arrest are brought out and stood
in front of the policemen for identi-
fication. When any of the prisoners
is identified his history is given to the
other policemen and whether there
ia sufficient evidence to hold the pris-
oner longer under arrest or not the
policemen there have all become ac
quainted with him and now know him
for a criminal so that the next time
he is wanted he is quite liable to be
arrested the moment he shows his
head.
"1 don't believe that any p61ire off!
cer has any system of memorizing
faces. It would be of no use to devote
all of one's attention to the study oi
a single feature. A criminal rosy dye
his hair and beard or shave off his
beard or if he was smooth shaven at
first grow a beard when the police
got on hm trail ile may receive
scar that will change the general out-
line of his face or sickness may give
him an entirely different appearance.
One must take everything into ac
count. Many meu huve some trick of
manner or speech that will betray
them when they are off their guard
or they may have some chronic nerv
ousness that can never be entirely
concealed. An old-time criminal on
the West side used to stVitter in a man
ner peculiar to himself. Another man
I know of has a jerking of the muscles
on one side of his face every once in
awhile. Others twitch their eyes or
have a peculiar way of shrugging
their shoulders. Many criminals have
scars or are maimed in some way or
other. Criminals often have a pecul
iar way of walking or standing and
these must be studied.
The fact is however after all that
the reason that policemen are able
to recognize crooks wanted for sdfcie
big crime is because they knew these
men long before they had committed
the crime. Crooks like everybody
eUe progress in their work. They do
not start in as train robbers or bank
burglars. Years before they startle
the community by some g'gantic crime
of this nature they have been arrest
ed for some minor offense and while
n jail undergoing trial have become
familiar to dozens of policemen. The
policemen have followed this man's
career because their business has
taughfthem that the day would come
when he would be badly wanted. It's
policeman s theory that 'once a
criminal always a criminal' and as he
akes little stock in the stories of
criminals reforming he never allows
himself to forget one whom he has
come to regard as a citizen of the un-
der world." '

one-half rods on each side of the
section line may be established
along all section lines without any
compensation being paid therefor

others shall take the title to such
land subject to thin provision."
Section 37 of the act of July 1
1902 (32 Stat. 71ft) providing for
the allotment of lands in the Cher

lines are obstructed in any man-
ner such obstructions must be re-
moved and the section line roads
opened immediately.
I am instructed by the Secretary

quired that if they do not da eo
the department through its proper
officials in Indian Territory will
take steps to enforce the law.

Honora's recitations warranted the
belief that she was not studying very
hard. There were stupid girls in the
room but Bliss Allison the teacher
suspected that Honora's deficiencies
were due to idleness rather than to
stupidity. She gave the girl every
chance to mend her ways but there
was no improvement. Then at last the
teacher wrote an urgent little note to
Honors s mother and Mrs. Casey came
up to the schoolhouse to see about it
says Youth a Companion.
"Sure I'm not faultin'youSfdarlin''
Mrs. Casey began amicably. Indeed
her roy face fairly radiated goods
ture. "But 'tis not all Honora's fault
d'ye mind? She had wather on the
brain when she was shmall and" the
mother added tragically "it niver
dried up! . Take notice spake to her
sudden so as she gets flustered and
ye'llsee the mistrisin' from her hair.
"And is it her geography bothers ye ?
Whisper darlin'. Tis Honora's broth-
ers that tvri.hts up her geography.

on Meridian street and Terence is a
clerk for the India company on Atlantic
avenue and so the Pacific and Atlantic

thim things ye teached her ah yes

mightn't be if ye gave her sums iu

only lasht summer her father was
af ther tryiu' her wid his measures and

and she knew fine the UitTer betwixt
a peek and a bushel then. Try her wid

"I blame meself for Honora's writ

ticin' poor child! But sure what can
you expect annywsys from one wid
