ovERcRowDED LONDON.
A Protest Against Free Trade in
Paupers and Criminals.

From the London Free Lance.
Some of the facts revealed by the inquiry,
notably in regard to overcrowding in the
east end Of London, are truly awful. The
overcrowding is such that, in the words Of
the commissioners. health, cleanliness de-
cency. even morality. must necessarily be
sacrificed Thus between 1881 and 1901
the population of Stepney, which was al
ready excessive. increased nearly 10000
through alien immigration, without count
ing the children of alien parents: while in
the same period the number of houses has
absolutely decreased by about 4,e00. The
horrors of such overcrowding do not need
dwelling on.
Again, with regard to crime, the report
states that in 1899 the number of alien
habitual criminals was 231; in 1902 it had
risen to 400. At the October Clerkenwell
sessions last year one prisoner In every five
was an alien. and, in proportion TO popula-
ton, IN three years there were twice as
many aliens as natives sentenced to impris-
onment in England and Wales. The loss in
money to business men during the same
period through the fraudulent bankruptcies
of aliens has also amounted to the substan-
tial sum of 81 2J0. 0eG.
Altogether 1t is pretty obvious that some

The Hiding Craze.
From the London Taller.

The walking mania has given place TO the
craze for hiding oneself or ones possessions
and challenging the world to find either
one or the other. The mystery of the miss
ing lady has raised the question whether it
is possible to conceal oneself in London eff
fectually. There are at least a score of
criminals hiding in London at the present
instant whose appearances, habits and
usual haunts are we'll known to the police.
and yet they remain undiscovered 1t is for
the ordinary individual easy task il he

edge of a few dozen friends and acuuaint-
ances among q crowd of 100000 people.
The chances against his being found by one
of the few dozen are millions to one.

thing must be done, and that quickly, to
put stop to free trade in paupers and
criminals, to whatever country they may
belong. We shall simply be following in
the footsteps of all civilized nations in TAX
ing restrictive measures including our own
colonies. The fact can no longer be ig-'
nOred that our population is already amply
large enough for the space 1t has to live
in. and we cannot afford to look calmly on
while the underpaid. underfed foreigner is
continuously displacing the native worker.

BLAMES PENSION ATTORNEY
Old Soldier Says lawyers MiHrepre-
sentatiOn Get. Him Into
Trouble.

Elijah Hancock, arrested for an attempt
to fraudulently secure a pension from the
United States, gave bond yesterday after
noon and returned to his home at Hebron.
He is II years old and is one Of four broth
ers who served in the civil war. He says
his trouble is caused by a pension attorney
who secured his signature to papers by mis-
representation and that II there was any
scheme TO defraud 1t was framed up by the
attorney. Hancock says the charge of de-
sertion against him on the old muster rolls
was caused by the fact that he was in the
hospital when the regiment was mustered
out and that the oficer in charge of the
rolls found it easier to account for him as a
d~eserter than to ascertain his whereabouts.

MAUD PARKS PLEADS GUILTY
Girl in short skirts Enters Plea that
May Send Her to Peni-
tentiary.

Judge Estelle has gone TO st. Paul to take
Judge Stubb's docket and Judge Stubs haze
come here to preside in the criminal court
for a week or two. The exchange is made
because Judge Stubs was interested in GER
tain cases pending there and because his
brother is interested in others.
The only matters demanding Judge
Stubs attention here yesterday was the
roll call Of the new panel of Jurors and the
taking of the new plea of Maud Park. Maud
is a girl still in short skirts. Recently she
arraigped on a charge Of grand larceny,
the complaining witness being Kitty AL
berts Of 724 North Sixteenth street, who al
legged Maud had stolen $3.50 from her.
When arraigned Maud pleaded not guilty,
but this morning changed her plea to guilty
and was remanded by Judge Stubs to await

FOUR ARE UP FOR FORGERY
Three Call for Preliminary Hearings
and One is Held TO Dis
trict Court.

In police court yesterday four OF the
alleged forgers who we're taken into
custody last week were a~rraigned. None
of the prisoners entered a plea of guilty.
I'd G. Roth confronted charges containing
two counts. After considerable delay he
decided to have an examination and his
preliminary hearing was accordingly set
for Thursday. Grant D.. Keiffer, who is
alleged to have passed a worthless check
upon the bank In the Boston Store, waived
his examination and was bound over to
the district court under $500 bonds. Henry
Kaempfer Of Kansas City, who admitted
that he gave the check to Keiffer, had his
preliminary hearing set for Tuesday morn
ing. John w. Carpenter, who is alleged
to have foated considerable worthless
paper, was arraigned on two warrants,
containing two counts each. Judge Berka
set his hearing for Tuesday morning.

FOUNDATIONS IN THEIR WAY
Hayden Brothers Assert that Their
, Newly Acquired Lot e.
Not Clear.

Hayden Brothers started two suits in dis
trict court yesterday for possession OF
property which they allege they acquired
when they purchased the ST. Mary sAIagda-
lene church premises on Douglas street be-
tween the Boston store and the Patterson
block and across the alley south from their
own store.
The church building is in the center Of
the lot and the plaintiff alleges that the
Patterson blocks foundation intrudes two
feet over the boundary line. though under
the surface Of the ground, and therefore
suit is brought for immediate possession
and for $50 judgment, the latter amount al
legged to be the reasonable value Of posses
sion during the year since the Haydens
bought the premises.
The other suit is for immediate posses
sion Of a similar strip four feet wide on the
east side OF the church lot. the claim being
that the foundation Of the Boston store
there intrudes to that extent. OF these
two suits the attorney representing Hayden
Brothers said:
THE one-year lease OF the church has
about expired and the church people are pre-
pairing to move into their new building at
Nineteenth and Dodge. This leaves the
way open for Hayden Brothers to build their
new addition on the church lot early this
spring. To occupy the full width Of the lot,
when they come to excavate for the foot
ings for the east wall they will find four
feet Of the Boston Store foundation In their
way and for their west wall two feet of the
Patterson block foundation. In both in
stances the foundations extend from Doug

plication is quite serious, and to get 1t
