SENATOR JOHNSON GRANTS
HIS REGULAR INTERVIEW

Chicago, June 6-Senator johnson

the North Carolina primary election
when he met newspaper correspondents
for his regular intervier today.
My reports, which are very meager,'
said he, Say that 1 have carried the
metropolis of the state ten to one, and
that it is safe to say that 1 have car
ried the entire state. North Carolina is
.he purest American state in the Union,
with less than totfe per cent. of its pop
ulation of foreign birth. Yet, 1 suppose
that a certain section of the press will
announce tomorrow that these Ameri-
cans have been metamorphosed into Sim
,, Feiners. pacifists. pro-Germans, and red
radicals by the act of voting for me.

Somebody asked him how much of a
vote was cast in the state.
THE vote was light" he promptly
retorted. Il suppose that will destroy
the indication of the primary for some
| observers. If it had been the other way
of course, it would have showed for then
the magnificent discrimination of the

A questioner asked the senator if he
was weakening on the league of ma

| I came here to make fight in relation
to the platform. I'll be represented il
the ultimate conference on the league ot

The senator remarked that he had NJ
ideas at present on permanent chair

I'm very anxious to see Senator Bo

TRANSPORT BRINGING FAMILIES

New York, June "a transport bring
ing 500 wives and children of Polish i'm
migrants in this country is on the way
from Dantzig to an American port, &C
cording to information received here by
the Hebrew Sheltcring and Immigrant
society. This is the first group of
total of 50, 1000 families to be brought to
America to be reunited with husbands
and fathers from whom they have been
separated by war for more than six
years.
The Hebrew society has undertaken to
find the wives and children of Polish i'm
migrants who have been prevented by
the war from sending any aid to their
families. many of whom have been driven
out of their homes in the war zone and
have become lost to their kind in this
country.
This is not a project Of new inrni-
grafton" said John L. Bernstein. the
society's president Much harm has been
done by the statement that We were in
ducink Jewish people Of Poland to come
over That is not the fact. We have
absolutely no concern with any intend
ed immigrants except the wives and chill
dren. of men already in this country,
more than 50 per cent of whom are now
American citizens."
Mr.. Bernstein said that the work which
the society was carrying on was done
with the hearty consent ana co-opeFdlion
of the Bureau of immigration and the
State Department
I'VE began our work. he said, by ad-

cause of the war. had not been able &c

men had no idea where their loved one:
were.
Our task has been to take what In.
formation we could get of the last
| known residences OF these wives and
children and put our commissioners ir
| Poland on the trail to locat them When
this is done we advise the family head
in America how much money it will take
to bring his people over and help him
through the formalities of proving theil
right Of admittance. When the fami'

Attempts to cover the smoke-coated
headquarters with suffrage banners have
been futile. They show the way to the

years old, will hold the picket line Their
banner will be inscribed with the words

For the suffragists of the world a
few facts stand forth with great clarity.
The first and greatest is that the po-
litical liberation of women was tossed

mountain when the world was in the
making. War, the undoubted original

hardest and where the principle of de-

There must be millions Of women in

chised, but Germany has outstripped al
other nations in the recognition of the
principle of equality, with 137 womer
serving on city councils and 81 as mem
bers of the national parliament. The
president of the German National Suf

as a member of the City Council Of Dres

SUFFRAGIsTS TO RESORT
TO PICKETING; NO HECKLING

Chicago, June 6.-Polite but impress
sive picketing of the republican national
convention was decided upon today by
shock troops of the national women s
party here under the leadership of Alice
Paul
The picketing will start Tuesday morn
ing and continue indefinitely. More than
a hundred women, representing % states
and every phase of womens activities,
all carrying banners bearing the names
of their states and slogans, will occupy
positions outside the Coliseum. Other
women will work among delegates from
their states in the various state head
quarters. Verbal heckling has no place
on the programme.
Every effort of the suffragists, Miss
Paul said today, will be directed toward
inducing national leaders to urge the
governors of Connecticut and Vermont
to call special sessions of the legislatures
in their states and pass on suffrage. The
legislatures, Miss Paul insists, are ready
to ratify the suffrage amendment if the
governors will call the special sessions
None of the suffragists is paying any at
tention at present to the wording of pro-
posed suffrage planks in the republican
platform. They hope for strong endorse
ment of their cause as collateral move
but they insist that the time is past for

HARDING TAKES PERSONAL
CHARGE OF HIS FORCES


Chicago, June CARRYING to take per

Harding of Ohio declared today that
modern methods seemed TO suggest the
presence of candidates, particularly at
this convention, for no decisive choice is

This Ohio mission is not to dictate
or demand he added, nor even attempt
dramatic appeal inside or outside the
convention.
1T would be folly to fit platform to
nominee and mark the end of popular
government through political parties
Senator Harding said he was here
because Ohio republicans in a preference
vote, asked him to become a candidate,
adding that when his candidacy was
first suggested he announced he would
be guided by the wishes of his party in
Ohio.

NEW YORK 5,G2I,15l. BOSTON 747,9e5,
N. BRITAIN $500, CENSUS RETURNS

Washington June 6.-New York city
had a population of 5,621,151 on Jan. 2,
an increase of S54,26S or 17.9 per cent.
over 1910. the census bureau announced
last night. The rate of growth was
smaller than ever before in the citys
history except in the decade ending in
1870, while the increase numerically was
smaller than in either of the two de-
cades preceding 1910. The latest estimate
of the population of the city and county
of London, made in 1917. was 4,026,901,
a decrease from the official census of
1911, which showed population of 4.521.-
6S5. Comparison of the population of
New York city with that of London is
declared by census bureau officials to be
difficult because OF the areas covered by
the various designations of the two cities.
New York city proper covers 2S7 square
miles, While for census purposes the city
and county of London covers 116 square
miles.
Boston's population is 747,923, an in
crease of 1888 or 1L5 per cent. over
1910. The increase in Bostons popula-
ton was not so large as that of St
Louis, whose total population this year aa
announced several weeks ago is 773, 900
! an increase of 111,791 or 1914 per cent
over 1910. st. Louis therefore retains its
rank as fourth most populous city of the
country and Boston will hold fifth rank
unless Cleveland, sixth city in 1910, whose
population has not yet been announced
shows an increase exceeding $4,000 peo.
pie to bring its total past Boston's.
