They called upon Shinzo Uno of Japan to show cinemas of police work during the Tokyo earthquake. They passed resolutions on coordination of finger prints and demonstrated the telephotograph. By this means, three finger prints were flashed to Chicago and in five minutes two criminals' names were telephoned back. (The third was not in the Chicago files...

On the one hand there is a system emphasizing a calm, dignified tour of the realms of gold, steady but unhurried, reaching its culmination in the General examinations. On the other hand is the archaic examination system reducing travelling to a series of periodic packings and last minute spurts.
