Very Successful Year
“TAKING FOOTPRINTS ~’
or 'NEW BORN BABIES
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—A system of
flaking foot-prints of children has been
adopted in the New York Nursery and
r-L‘hiid's Hospital to prevent infants
born there from going to the wrong
.mothers. Its adoption was due to the
seisct that‘s soldier's wife who recently
,gave birth to a baby in that haspital,
at first denied that the child was hers.
’The young mother, who had been
reading stories of accidental substitu-
AUDI! of children at hospitals and 311111.;
Jar public institutions, declined to
nurse tlfe baby.
“We'lirought all the proofs we could
muster: explained the superintendent,
“‘but the mother persisted in her hal.
,fiucination. . She became hysterical
with grief and fright. Finally, I
inn-ought her our records, which show-
red that, only a little colored baby and
Lher own had been born in the hospital
that day. That convinced her, but just
:think of what would have happened
'10 that poor woman if other white ba-
bies had been born here on the same
clay." ,
In order to avoid a similar experi-
ence the superintendent engaged a
finger-print expert to instruct the
head nurse in trying the system on
athe babies. "We found we couldn't
the official. "Their feet, however,
came out beautifully and, for greater
:security, the mother is finger-printed
also."
Very young babies, it was said, may
Rook just alike but their feet are quite
«dissimilar. One child,' the superin-
tendent declared, will have a perfectly
others—will print mostly vague criss-
«cross lines, and still another will look
like "an egg and five toolhpicks."
Under tile present -system, which
has been in operation nearly six
' months, the child1s foot is inked and
. rstamped on the hospital chart of the
‘ mother. Although he may not resem-
ble any one in the family and though
no one ccan tell where he got his nose.
of his hair, a comparison of the foot-
, or his eyes, or his mouth or the color
, print, taken at birth, it was said, will
tell whose child he is from, among the
. institution.

rerators persisted in their refusal to ac-
cept a mmlsslon. “to assume powers
which c Constitution did not specifi-
cally give him," and to use the United
‘States Army to suppress all violence
and disorder.
Writing to Robert Bacon. on Octo-
ber 5, 1902, shortly after a conference
in Washington of the mine operators
and the strike leader, the late John
Mitchell. in a futile effort to settle the
trouble by the appointment of a com-
mission of investigation or arbitra-
tion, he said:
I “The situation is bad, especially be-
;cause it is possible it may grow innn.
itely worse. if when the severe
weather comes on there is a coal,fam-§
ine, I dread to think of the suffering,
in parts of our great cities especially..
and I fear there will be fuel riots of
,as bad a type as any bread riots we
’have ever seen.

ful thing to be brought face to (seal
with a necessity of taking measures:
however unavoidable ,Which will mean

dened by want and suffering”- l
‘ In‘a letter to Senator Lodge he
wrote that he was “feeling" his way!
to solve the difficulty and was deter~'
mined not to he’drawn into any “vie-l
and disaster afterward." At another
time, he said: “Most emphatically I
shall not compromise witn lawless-
ness. I have been told, on excellent
authority, that the disorder has been
very great and of an evil kind. On
equally good authority, I am told the
exact contrary. I shall speedily find
-out for myself. I stand against social-
'ism; against, anarchic disorder."
Colonel Roosevelt’s “drastic" plan
of action Which Mr. Bishop says he
permission and authority. included his
appointment of an investigating or ar-
bitrary commission, without regard to
1whether or not the operators asked for
it or agreed to abide by its decisions.
He asked lax-President Cleveland,~ in
case he were to appoint such alcomo
mission. if he would accept a place on
it. and. according to Mr. Bishop, Mr.
Cleveland replied favorably.
"This commission was only part of
the President's plan." says Eur. Bish-
op. "The investigation which it was
to condoctwould take time . in order
that mining operations might be re-
sumed as speedily as poesible, the
'President consu‘ted ’wilh Senator
Quay, who was all poyerful in Penn-
sylvania politics. and was assured by
him that whenever the President do:
sired him to do so he would have the
;(‘mvornor of the state notify the Pres-
.ident that he could na keep order in
the coal region and needed Federal
‘ interference. ',
“The President then informed Ma-
jor General John M. Schofleld that in
i
hundreds of infants in this New York . held at New Haven, Saturday. 10th, to case of Federal interference he wish-
ed to send him to the coal regions

eral, if in case the operators went to
court and had a writ served on him.
would he do as was done under Lin-
coln, simply send the writ on to the
President? After a little thought. the
general replied that he would: Roose-
lvelt said: 'Ali right, [will send you.’ "
- President Roosevelt. it Was said,
had all preparations made for starting
the troops within 11* an hour after
'the request for Federal aid was re-
ceived. The plan was not executed.
