Indian Race Increasing, Contrary To General Belief
Gaining at the rate of approximately one per cent a year, the Indian race now numbers 75,000 more than it did in 1865 when many of the tribes were still in undisputed possession of reservations on which they lived their nomadic lives. This gain indicates that the Indians are increasing more rapidly than the White race in proportion to their numbers, according to John Collier, United States Indian Commissioner. Commissioner Collier bases proof of his statement on census record points that the reservation began between 1920 and 1930 before which there had been a marked decrease.
The first great decrease from 295-000 to 245,000 between 1865 and 1920 was attributed to the White man's civilization. But now the White man's hospitals, doctors, sanitation, better balanced meals and general government rehabilitation programs are credited with checking the decrease and bringing about a gain at a constantly increasing rate.
Commissioner Collier declares that another great factor contributing to the increased population of the race is the psychological effect of the growing knowledge among the Indians that their families must survive the White man's way of living which they have been oblited to adopt.
One Chance
The inspector looked intently at Fanner for seconds and took a coin out of his pocket. He flipped it and returned it to its companions. Fanner ejaculated but Parridge tapped his head and smiled.
Continued from page 4
"All right, Fanner. I'll take your finger prints if it will please you." 16 Fanner was a bit nonplussed at the inspector's sudden genitality, but he was being joked but then why not. It would clear him once and for all.
"Thank you, Parridge, if it won't bother you any I think that I'll get quite a kick out of it."
Parridge led Fanner back to his office. Farner had lost some of his composition to the inspector and was slightly flushed.
Parridge just smiled wryly again and led the way to his laboratory.
"Well, Fanner, after this you won't be able to get away with anything. You'll be a babel buzzard," he said depreciating.
After the Bertillon procedure Parrige gave the prings to an assistant to be enlarged. The assistant was puzzled over the note appended
Fanner laughed nervously. "The shoe has to fit you know though and I'm not thinking of taking up crime at my age."
there's not one chance in ten million that the prints are wrong. One chance in ten million that an artist would be the same as your own.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The assistant brought the enlargements in an envelope. Parridge looked at them and then his eyes bored into Fanner's.
"Royce will bring them in shortly and then we shall see what we shall see," Farridge said meledratically. Fanner rubbed his right
"You must have slipped somewhere, Fanner, because your finger prints and those we took off of the knife are identical."
Fanner hardly batted a lid.
"You're joking, inspector, you know that's impossible."
"I'm not joking, Fanner, and
Fanner spoke but no words came. His face turned to chalk and his shoulders slumped. One chance in ten million and he'd hit it. One chance in ten million—no, no! God, it couldn't be. Finger prints engraved on rubber gloves. Finger prints by an engraver who did not even know they were identical with his. God, it wasn't fair. He had to kill Hanley before he bled him to death. Had to. The perfect crime. The body balanced so it would fall over if he shammed the window. A perfect alibi. His secretary with him. The right kind of a wound so it bled slowly and kept the coroner from hitting the exact time. Everything right. Unknown finger prints to confuse the police. In a ten million or one shot. Out of ten million and he hit i God.
"Veh I did it." he managed.
Two days later after the headlines had gone hoarse Parridge was explaining it to Joyce, the assistant.
"I played a hunch again. Joyce. He was too full of information not to know more than he was telling. And any guy who has convolution in his vocabulary knows we don't call them pictures. I flipped a coin when he said it though to give him an even break. You can throw those prints of his awn and that extra detail from his face if I guess. I wonder. And say, Joyce, I wonder if he known it was a one-to-one shot he lost on and not a one-to ten million favorite?"
