SLUMS OF SOUTH
LONDON ARE CALLED
THE WORST OF ALL
Worse Than Anything in
New York or Philadelphia,
Says Reformer.

Attention has been called to the social
conditions In Bermondsey. one OF tAe
plague spots of south London, which
has been called the city's blacklist
square mile" A walk through the mar
row. dark, disgustingly dirty streets
would lead one 10 believe, now that the
Infamous Tabard street area in South
wark has been torn down, II would be
hard to equal Bermondsey for sheer
degradation and utter poverty the world
over.
1t often has been said by English
apologists that the slums and some of
the American cities. such as New York,
can show conditions that are worse than
any to be found In London After a
recent visit to Bermondsey, Mrs. Lee
Cowte, a famous Australian temperance
reformer, said on this point: II have
travelled much in Australia. in Egypt,
New Zealand, the United States, and
other lands. I have seen the worst
there is to see or the surface In New
York and Philadelphia. But what saw
in Bermondsey beggars all that have
ever seen before-miles of terrible slums
filed with beings so degraded that It
appalled, me. My husband Is unused to
work Of this kind, and was made physi-
cally Ill by the mere sight OF It,"
She was asked In what respect Ber-
mondsey was worse than the slums Of
New York, and she answered: I'm New
York. and, in fact, in all the other
places have visited, 1t Is only the mon
who drink so openly. In Bermondsey
the women drunkards are in the major
ity. There are the older women freely
entering the public houses and bringing
out drink to the younger mothers, who
could not themselves enter because they
were accompanied by children, which
the law excludes from saloons. Further
more, we were struck by the degeneracy
Of the peopie-thelr physical intellectual
and moral degradation"
In this district live more than 125,000
persons in houses that would long ago
have been condemned in almost any
other city in the world. In some cases
eight and ten persons 1.-Two in single
rooms, and in many cases rooms are
occupied By different sets of tenants
during the day and the night. So aw-
full are tho sanitary conditions that the
death rate among children IL f1ve times

sections of London. Many of the houses
are built on blind alleys, and hundreds
of the houses have but one wtndo "

The custom of Internal Bathing for

Drugs for this purpose have proven
that their doses must be constantly

On the contrary. the scientifically

Karl Legien.a German labor leader.
and a socialist member Of the reichstag

The first international trades union
meeting was called by Legien. and was
held in Copenhagen in 1901. The next
year a second meeting was called az
Stuttgart, which proved to be even more
successful than the first. Legten was a
socialist before he was labor leader
having Joined the party in 1884 when
Bismarck was making his opposition &c
socialism felt. Legtens service In the
reichstag was from 1898 to 1898 and IRON

FRENCH PREMIER
PLAYS PRACTICAL
JOKE ON PEOPLE
Succeeds in Making an Un-
popular Five Cent Coin
Much Sought After.

Z While New York boasts of the great
est practical joker of the age, Brian G..
Hughes never accomplished, from all
his accumulated Jokes. what Raymond
Poincare, a lawyer of Paris, managed
to achieve mainly through the instru-
mentality of one practical joke.
Poincare is now premier OF France,
an office gained in part through a repu-
tation made when, as minister of
the entire French public. Poincare is a
man of humor. but not given to the
practical joke habit. However, when he
took the office Of miniSter of finance he
discovered that the 25-centime nickel
piece was by no means popular Small
traders Stunned II, and some even re-
fused II. AS the coin answers the same
purpose as our scent piece. II was the
popular. How to do this became the
problem. Leave the matter in my
hands, said Poincare, and will guar
antee the nickel coin will be popular"
Paris that among the nickels in circula-
ton were FIVE bearing the magical in
scription "Rothschild" in small letters.
Now, II was suggested. there must be
a reason for this word being on these
coins: And the reason was not long in
showing itself. The story was that the
first person TO take one of these coins
to the bank of the Rothschilds, on the
those presenting the others would re-
ceive various sums, each representing a
small fortune. But why the Rothschilds!
All, II was a business stroke. The Ia.
nous bankers had a great amount OF
nickel on hand. and wishing to dispose
Of 1t 10 the government, took this way
to advertise-to make the 2-centime
pieces popular. Everywhere came de.
mands for the small coin. Where 1t had
been spurned II was now sought, and
everyone who came by one of the
pieces scanned II carefully. Not alone
in Paris was this eagerness displayed
The rumor spread through France. To
day some persons still scrutinize the
coin, hoping for a fortune. 1t was 9

ICE FLOES ARE MORE
PLENTIFUL THAN
EVER IN THE PAST
Grand Banks This Spring
Filled With Mountains
of Frozen Water. .

Ice foes and bergs, such as caused
the eventual destruction of the monster
Titanic, are common for the latitude
where the ocean liner went down yes
terday morning, and It is now the
general opinion Of seafaring men that
the particular iceberg which caused the
disastrous crash of yesterday was an
unreported one.
The icebergs which fill those waters
as far south as 10 degrees, como prin-
cipally from Greenland. They are of
varying sizes, and at times strips of
ice hundreds OF yards deep and from
twenty to thirty miles in length break
from their moorings In Greenland, slide
into the Atlantic, and drift southwark.
A chip" from just such a foe is what
caused the wreck of the Titanic.
Many marine disasters have been
occasioned by collisions of vessels
with the bergs. The mountains Of
ice are deceptive In appearance. Some
Of them, symmetrical in form, arc
mountain high, and literally sweep
everything before them on their
ing battered and washed against
others bergs, have cylindrical tops,
while that part of them under the
surface of the water retain their
to plow through such a berg Is al
most sure TO meet destruction.
The prevalence OF icebergs on the
Grand Banks this spring is due to the
exceptional severity Of the recent win
ter, which has been the worst, perhaps,
In the history of Newfoundland and
Labrador.
From mid-December up to the present
| time intense frost, incessant storms and
| mighty ice foes have been prevalent.
| These conditions caused the Ice forming
| in every harbor along Labrador and
northern Newfoundland to become un-
usually thick.
Never in the history of Newfound-
land has there been a winter so disas-
| trous to steam and sailing vessels.
| Since November no fewer than twenty
sailing craft from 100 to 200 tons
burden have gone to the bottom. seven
of them carrying their whole crews
down, some sixty-three souls alto
| gether. The crews of the remaining
! thirteen were rescued from the sinking
hulls in the nick of time.
Two steamers also perished with all
hands. The first. was the steamer
which, II Is believed, was crushed by
ice in the February billiards of Cape
Race and with her eighteen men. The
second was the Erna. a 3,000-ton liner,
purchased in England and remodeled fol

OREGON PRIMARIES
NEXT FRIDAY SURE
TO Be S|GN|F F|cANT
Preferential Balloting Estab-
lished Fact in Western
State for Six Years.

SALEM, Ore, April 16.--National po-
litical interest will turn to Oregon at
the end of this week, in view of the
Statewide primary election to be held
Friday, with the Oregon Presidential
preference feature added to the primary
law that has been in effect for the past
six years. The primaries are open to
Republicans and Democrats. no other
per cent of the vote REQUIRED to con-
stitute II party under the law.
The names of Taft, Roosevelt, and
La Toilette will appear on the Republi-
can ticket and those of Clark and Will
son on the Democratic. In view of the
fact that ,primary elections are an es-
tablished fact here, it Is believed there
will be no occasion for confusion such
as marked the recent New York pri-
maries, and since the primaries arc con-
Quoted by the State in the same man
ner as are general elections, there Is
reason to believe there will be a truly
representative vote of the adherents or
all the candidates.
for President, each Oregon voter will
be entitled to vote for one OF the ten
delegates which his party is to have In
the national convention. OF the ten re-
ceiving the highest vote each will re-
ceive 5000 from the State to pay his Gex-
penses at the convention. Voters also
express a choice for Presidential elector,
each voter voting for one, and the Ave
highest being the nominees for the Mo-
yember election. Delegates to the ma
tional conventions will be obligated to
support the candidates Of their party re-
Giving the majority in the preference
primary.
So far as the State is concerned in
terest centers largely in the advisory
vote on United States Senator, II be-
ing expected that as in the past the
legislative assembly will simply regis
ter the selection of the people for this
office. A hard fight to displace Jono-
than Bourne, jr., is being made by Ben
Selling, a prominent Portland merchant,
who was president of the State SEN
ate two years ago. The chief objection
made to Senator Bourne Is that his In
terests are in Massachusetts, and not in
three times in the last six years. Mr..
Selling stands among the progressives
Of the Republicans and apparently Will
make a strong run for the place. There
are two other candidates FOR the Sen
atorship, but the contest is believed TO
be between Bourne and Selling. Bourne
created some little stir at the outset
of the race by announcing that he would
not spend a cent to obtain reelection.
The Democrats, too, encouraged by
tho election Of George Chamberlain,
Democrat, as Rourne's colleague two
years ago, are taking strong interest In
the Senatorial primary vote. and like.
wise have four candidates.
There. Is no governor to be elected
this year, and aside from President and
Senator the interest In the primaries
will be centered in local contests in the
various counties Of the State.
