BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES
CAN EASILY Be INITIATED

fectiveness is the custom of the Bank
of England to cancel every note that
is returned to the bank and issue an
other in it's place. This, and the prac-
tice of keeping a record of the num-
bers of all bank-notes used in every
business establishment, keep alive a
keen sense of responsibility, which
adds to security. The custom of cir
culating soiled bank-notes, of course,
gives the counterfeiter his best oppor-
tunity. Forgery is much more read
lily detected in a crisp, stiff, new bill
than in a rumpled and dirty one.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March AS
the time for the Baltimore convention
approaches Democrats who are likely
to be in attendance upon it are getting
worried about the hotel accommoda-
tions and even more about the hotel
prices. Immediately after the meeting
of the national committee at which
Baltimore was selected the Wilson
boomers wired for thirty rooms at one
of the principal hotels and the Har-
mon people for twenty. That seemed
like going some" to use a slang
phrase, but since then the Oscar
Underwood forces have rented an en-
tire hotel--the Eutaw, one of the old
est, but by no means the worst, of the
hotels in the city. That gives a fair
indication of the probable size of the
crowd at Baltimore.
Others to Send Big Crowds.
Never before has a state like Ala
bama needed space of this extent to
accommodate it's convention atten.
dants. Probably at neither Denver
nor st. Louis were there more than a
few score of Alabamians present. This
year they talk of thirty carloads from
Birmingham alone. Virginia, which
will send it's delegation automatically
instructed for Senator Martin, will
have thousands of visitors. Pennsyl-
vania, the delegation from which will
be split between Harmon and Wilson,
will probably have its tens of thou
sands, but as many of them can go to
their nearby homes at night they will
add only to the congestion of the
streets and not the pressure on the
hotels.
They are saying in New York that
the Tammany crowd, even without a
real favorite son to boom, will foot
up nearly 10000 and it is readily be-
lievable. Tammany had one-ffth as
many at Denver and that meant 1000
mile railroad journey, besides a con-
vention at the end, the action of which
was a foregone conclusion and which
no number of boomers could change
in the slightest particular.
Some Forgotten Resolutions.
After each national convention for
the last sixteen years two things have
been agreed upon solemnly by the
press and by the politicians. First, it
is time to limit the size of the con-
vention hall so that the orderly de-
liberation of the serious minded dele
gates shall not be disturbed by the
,clamor of the emotional rabble in the
galleries; second, that political plat
forms must be made shorter in order
that the busy man may read them
carefully and judge of the merits OF
the rival programmes.
AS a result of this really unanimous
expression of opinion after every con.
vention since 1896 the convention halls
have continually grown larger-Balti
more promises 16,5OO seats, and the
party platform continually have ex
banded until they make fair sized
pamphlets in themselves.
The really colossal proportions OF
the expected attendance at Baltimore
are easy of explanation. 1t is the first
Democratic convention to be held in

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

the east in half a century. The city is
within a few hours ride OF half
dozen of the biggest cities of the
United States. Sleeping cars are not
essential for visitors from Boston on
the north, Richmond on the south.
Pittsburg on the west and all the con-
siderable towns that lie between.
Many Candidates Excite Interest.
But more. It is the first convention
of that party since 1892 in which
large number of widely known candi-
dates are to be discussed, and the re-
suit of which three months before its
date is wholly in doubt. No man can
say with certainty, or prophesy with
any reason for the faith that is in him,
today, whom that convention will
nominate. The chances shifted from
Harmon to Wilson, from Wilson to
Clark and are likely to shift back
again, or even to favor some other
figure. Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Ala
bama, Indiana, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and New York all have ia
vorite sons entered in the race, and
every state candidate means a few
thousand boomers from home.
All Wish a Short Platform.
The desire for short platform this
year is real and generally expressed
among public men here. The opinion
is practically universal that the fight
should be made on the tariff question,
and that the tariff can be expounded
properly from the Democratic view
point in a paragraph. That seems
reasonable, but all experience is
against it. The Denver convention
was dominated by Mr.. Bryan, and he
wanted a short platform. What he got
was the longest platform ever adopted
formulated after an all night wrangle
in the committee on resolutions.
At Baltimore no one will dominate
the convention at the start 1t is un-
likely that any candidate will enter
the convention with a majority of the
delegates pledged to him. Moreover,
while the aspirants all are sterling
Democrats, there is likely to be a
wide diversity in the issues they de-
sire to have discussed. The platform
for Governor Wilson, for example,
would hardly make a good standing
place for Oscar Underwood.
Cannot Limit the Issues.
Moreover, however, much the wiser
men in the party may wish to hold
down the issues of the campaign TO
the tariff discussion, it will be impos-
sible. Congress is putting that prudent
program out of commission The
Democrats will have to indorse the
action of their majority in the house,
and that Endorsement will compel ut.
terances on pensions, on the Russian
treaty, on the monetary trust investi,
cation and now on the excise tax on
| incomes. With Wilson or Clark the
nominee the initiative and referendum
necessarily will fill much space in the
declaration of principles. If Harmon
shall be dominant force the question
of the literal enforcement of the
Sherman antitrust law and the impo
sition of personal penalties on. indi
vidual violators will come in for ex
tended discussion.

Socialist Proclamation.

Leaders of the Socialist Miners
union issued a proclamation, after
meeting today at which the replies
of the mine owners to the demands
of the men for an increase of wages
of fifteen per cent were thoroughly
discussed, saying over 100000 miners
would go on strike in the Westphalian
coal district next week unless the
mine owners reversed their decision
not to grant the advance. Efforts OF
the government to bring about media
ton are declared by the miners to be
too late.
Miners in the Hanover coal district
have followed the example of those in
the Westphalian and Silesian fields
and today demanded a minimum wage
of S25. They threaten to strike

COAL MINE CRISIS
AROUSES GERMANY

BERLIN, March 9.-The situation
in the Westphalian coal mining dis
trict Of western Germany is becoming
source of anxiety throughout the
empire, which is awaiting in suspense
the outcome of the meeting in bort
mund today when representatives OF
the three leading miners organizations
will decide whether to strike. Con
sdering the temper among the work
men since the owners refused to meet
their demands for wage increases
ranging from FIVE to ten per cent, ap-
prehonsion has been general and the
authorities have been preparing for
the worst.
The strike. if ordered, would affect
100000 men more or less directly,
though, as some of the organizations
are unwilling to quit work, it is sup
posed that at first only about half that
number would go out.
Men Are Being Imported.
The owners are importing miners
from other parts of Europe and the
hostility that is bound to arise between
these and the strikers is an ominous
feature of the situation. Whether or
not a strike is ordered, the situation
will remain serious and, taken in con
nection with he strike in England, it
is causing much uneasiness in bust
ness circles.
at is manifest said Herr Code
troy, director of a great coal distribu-
ton agency in Hamburg, to the cor
respondent of The Chicago Daily
News today, that even if the English
strike is Sc tied soon, the consequent
ce5 will be felt for many weeks, especi-
ally as the immediate resumption Of
English expectation viii be impossible.
Expect Advance in America.
"As for the Westphalian mines, or
ders for export no longer are except
ed. The owners are boarding their
supplies and as a consequence we eX-
pact great advance in the prices OF
American coal, which will undoubted-
ly be shipped in considerable guam
titles to South America and the Medi-
terranean countries. Italy especially
will need great quantities of coal to
maintain it's industries"
Herr Delbrueck, secretary of the in
terror, is making strong efforts to eff
feet a settlement in Westphalia, but
with little prospect of success, The
authorities have ordered detachments
of mounted gendarmes to the mining
centeTs.

Twelve weeks ago General Booth
underwent an operation for the remov- =
al OF cataract In his left eye For
two days after the operation indica =
tions justified the hope of the generals
soning set i'm and from that time, with
the exception OF occasional rallies, the
patients health steadily declined. The
general recognized that the end was
near and often spoke of his work as
being finished.
Throughout the eommanderin
chiefs illness. his son. Bramwell
Booth. chief of staff of the army. and
Mrs. Bramwel Booth gave their un-
remittlng attentions to him- both night
and day.
The evangelist died at his residence
about eight miles from London,
where he had been confined to his bed
ever since the operation.
Present at the bedside when the end
came was Mr.. and Mrs. Bramweli
Booth. their daughter and son. and
ether members of the family.
Son May Succeed.
Public interest now centers i'm the
question of a successor To the late
commander. Under the constitution of
the Salvation Army the general nom
mates his successor. That General
Booth did several years ago. placing
the name in a sealed envelope which
was deposited with the Salvation
Army's lawyers with instructions that
IL should not he opened until after his
death. While nobody knows what
name the envelope encloses, the gen
cral belief among the Salvation Army
is that II will prove to be that OF

has been its chief of staff.
