BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. July S.-To what extent the
underworld is organized in the German
metropolis may be judged from the
beggars' bourse and kindred institutions
for the brotherhood of aims seekers in
the city's slums and elsewhere.
The bourse is known only to the ini-
tiated and accessible through a small
and dingy public house which is the
nightly rendezvous for the poorer ele-
mentS-working men and unemployed
with a plentiful Sprinkling of shady
characterS-all drinking beer and talk
ing at once, but always suSpiciOusly Siz-
Ing up every newcomer.
Mendlcants Sell Offerings.
Ever and anon a beggar arrives and
with eel-like agility SquirmS through
the motley crowd to trapdoor leading
to the Sandwich Bourse." Here men,
dicants representing every conceivable
type of suffering sell to the hungry I'M
employed the bread and sandwiches
doled out to them during the day by
kind-hearted housewives.
Quotations vary with the season, the
colder weather seeing a boom in the
proverbial crust of bread Dry bread
is quoted at an average of 2 pfennigS
A slice of bread with jam at 4 pfen-
nigs, with liver sausage at pfennigs
with Swiss cheese at IL pfennigS and
with ordinary sausage only at 8 pfen-
nigs.
In the slums of the city's northern
section there is also a beggarS' livery,
doing thriving business, especially in
the early morning hours, the rush be-
coming so great by am. that new
Corners have TO await their turn In a
queue.
Begging Equipment Sold.
Here mendicants for a daily fee or a
monthly subscription are speedily equip
ped with all the appurtenances for their
calling, ranging from hand organs and
lead dogs for the blind to soleless shoes
and clutches.
In an obscure street of the fashion
able west end, on the other hand, is
located the well organized beggars' in
formation bureau, Which Iimping speci-
mems of human misery enter to lay
aside their crutches. in which the blind
suddenly are able to see and the deaf
and dumb start swearing. Here the
beginners in the fraternity purchase or
derby kept lists of addresses of resi-
dents considered easy marks.

for electrical production this year.

 SHANGHAI.-An American built equipped and directed mint, said to be the most-up-to-date of it's kind in the world, has just been opened here.
 It is called the NaJional Govern ment Central Mint and represents an investment of $5,000.OO0., It has been in the, making for ten years The institution. was undertaken when the defunct Peking govern- ment was in power, but lack of funds slowed the building work and for several years the costly equip- ment was useless in so far as pro- viding China with a much needed standard coinage was concerned
 But with the advent of the na- tionalist regime and removal of the capital to Nanking, the project was revived. The new ministry of finance took over the whole thing despite the $3,0Oo,00o debt hanging over 1t and under the direction oi T. V. Soong, finance minister, has pushed it to completion.
 The technical expert of the new mint is Clifford Hewitt, of Phila- delphia. He has been on the Jon here since 1920, sticking to 1t all through the years of delay.
 The mint has a capacity of 4OO,- 900 coins every ten hours and is therefore said to be second to none in capacity. Not only is the ma

SPLENDID CRAFT

The new craft will be an exact duplicate of the Mississippi River packets and will have all the orna- mental and decorative effects of these famous vessels on her pilot house and tunnels. She will be the show boat" of the Yukon and queen of the big fleet of packets that ply on that mighty river.
 In order that they could obtain the type of boat best suited for their use, officers of The Alaska Railroad sent Capt. Lancaster, vet eran of the Mississippi, the Yukon and the Panama, and river boat man extraordinary, to Seattle from Alaska.
 Captain Veteran of 1898
 Captain Lancaster, has been master on the Yukon and Panama rivers since 1898, first with the Alaska Commercial Company, then with the Northern Navigation Com pany, the White Pass and Yukon route and finally with The Alaska Railroad as commander of the steamboat General Jacobs. He was raised on the Mississippi and during his old steamboat days was master of the Eclipse, the Henrietta, and the Joe Long, plying between C+ Do,,J apd Ct oyIic Captain Lancaster went to Seattle the first time in 1898 and built the Rock Island No. l, and the Rock Island No. 2,s on the tide flats there. The tug New England was brought from the East Coast and lowed the two vessels to St. Mich ael. They were the first river steamboats to reach the Yukon, arriving there June 20, 1898. Capt. Lancaster was one of the owners of the packets and commanded the Rock Island No. l until 1899, when l he entered the service of the Alas ka Commercial Company.
