LONDON CONFRONTS
PROBLEM Of CENTURY
Population Far in Excess of
Limit of Safety.
SEWAGE AND WATER SUPPLY
Latter Inadequate-The Thames Con-
taminated for Fifty Miles and
Sea Food a Menace.

LONDON, Feb. What is bound to
become one of the greatest problems of
the twentieth century has suddenly con
tronted London, in a rather peculiar
form It consists of one of natures
warnings that the limit has been
reached beyond which it is impossible
to crowd greater population than is
now comprised in the worlds metrop-
oils
Dr- ColIingridge, chief medical officer
Of London, has issued a report, in which
he announces that all of the Thames
fisheries. including the estuary, are. con
taminated with the bacilli of typhoid
fever. His condemnation includes the
famous WhitestabIe oyster beds, where
20 per cent Of the oysters examined
were found to be infected a ban has
also been pronounced against white bait.
shrimp, smelts. and cookies
Contamination Fifty Miles Away.
Contamination by sewage was found
fifty miles away from London IN the
drainage ostfall. while an even worse
state Of affairs exists at other points on
the English coast. from which sheIfsh,
etc, are supplied to the markets The
Injection in these cases was due alto
sether TO bad local sewerage.
There have been other fatal warnings
since the terrible Winchester banquet.
where the eating of oysters, it was
claimed, spread death in that neighbor-
hood These include three deaths from
enteric fever in one London family, from
eating cookies.
It is not going too far to say that the
shelldsh trade has already been serious

ties. and If viii probably be practically
destroyed by DIT. Collingridge's report
The whole matter viii have a prominent
place in the attention of parliament when
tt meets next month, but it is dffHcult TO
discover any possible escape from the
danger.
Water Supply Inadequate.
This. however. is a secondary problem
to the more serious one of the London
water supply. It is now admitted that
the Thames valley, with its contributing
streams. including artesiau wells. is in
adequate for London's vast population.
and even ordinary drought produces
serious inconvenience as well as sanitary
and fire periIs- A great aqueduct 10
Wales, at fabulous expense, is the only
radical solution suggested, but this, how
ever, would render the drainage problem
stiII more serious.
Meantime London continues TO grow.
Nature has already begun to infict her
penalties. and It viii be one Of the most

POLICE WON'T STAND 1T.
Will Arrest All Obstperous Confetti
ThroWers

Although yesterday was the first day
Of the fair, the police already have had
considerable trouble with the confetti
throwers. Chief Burt said last night:
"A few cents invested in confetti gives
no man, young or old, the right to take
undue privileges with the girls and wo-
men on the streets as they usually do at
street fairs and carnivals, and l have
made arrangements to board these fell
lows at the city follower. / have put out
twenty-five policemen in citizens cloth
ing to mingle with the people on the
street and have gwen them orders to ar
rest the first person they find guilty Of
this offense. We simply will not tolerate

who are arrested we will put in the city
Jail and will forget they are there until
after the fair is over

five YEAR OLD GIRL
ALONE IN WORLD
Deserted Miss Blanche Colby
Arrives in City.
BABY GIRL PASSED ON
No One Wants Wait and She
Is Sent Away.
Blanche Colby. New Cambria"

Blanche Colby. New Cambria"
The above inscription written on tag
and attached to a small 5-year-old girl
who arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing at Sis clock over the Frisco, was
the only information obtainable about the
little one when she was put of the train
here.
The girl, who is too small TO even give
her full name. but could lisp Blanche,
was put on the Frisco train at Severy,
the conductor said.
She had half-fare ticket purchased
at that place good for passage to Wich-
ita. With the exception that Mama is
dead and Il want my papa no further
Information about herself could be Sc
cured from the girl by a. R. Deem. city
ticket agent for the Frisco.
The little child was well dressed and
to all appearance had been well cared
for up until the time she was deserted
and placed on the train with nothing
but ticket to Wichita. The child had
trunk check grasped tightly in a club
by hand, however. which. when the cor
responding number was looked up in the
baggage room by Mr.. Deem, proved to
call for a small bunch of clothing tied
together with a string
After being here for a time the little
one forgot her anxiety to be with papa
and played about the Frisco waiting
room. She is a pretty child and many
passengers who were waiting for the
trains and who learned the little ones
story made friends with her. Great
brown eyes won all who talked with the
child and there was many a woman who,
if she had been allowed to. would have
taken her home.
About o'clock in the afternoon Mrs.
Ella Shields, who had been telephoned
about the child. went to the station and
took her in charge
After consulta ton with the chief OF
police and other city officials, il was de-
cided to purchase ticket and send her
on to New Cambria. While the child was
not old enough to realize her position
she seemed satisfied, in her childish
way, that she would be all right If sent
there.
A ticket was procured for the little one
and she was put on the Rock Island train
last night. In charge of the conductor
she will have to change cars at Herring
ton and will reach her destination some
time tomorrow forenoon.

name could not be learned. was badly
Shocked.
Ills hands came in contact with a live
wire and the man fell from a high plat
form on which he with several others.
was working. But for the fact that he
fell on horses back the man would
have no doubt been seriously injured. As
1t was. besides a bad scare and severe
shaking up. he is all right today.
