STR. SENATOR PASSES
OVER MANY GERMAN
MINES IN SAFETY
SEATTLE, May 22 (by Associated
Press).—The steamer Senator which
arrived today from Hong Kong said
the charts the Germans recently sur
rendered showed a mine field sixty
by two miles in the China sea, over
which the Senator passed nine times.
The mines were too deep to affect its
voyages. The British are now remov
ing the mines. The Senator will re
turn to the Alaska run, making a trip
to Nome early in June.
MARKER BEING
CONDUCTED BY
MANY CITIES
WASHINGTON, May 22.—Accord
ing to a report about to be issued by
Director Samuel L. Rogers, of the
bureau of the census, department of
commerce, municipal markets were
maintained during the fiscal year 1918
by 128 of the 227 cities having more
than 30,000 inhabitants. These 128
cities reported a total of 237 markets,
174 did a retail business, 14 a whole
sale business, and 49 conducted both
retail and wholesale business. The
market employes numbered 540. The
largest number of markets shown for
any one city is 19, for New Orelans
Baltimore reported 11; New York, 9
Wilmington, Del., 8; Pittsburgh, 6
and Los Angles, Milwaukee, Washing
ton, D. C., and Columbus, Ohio, 5
each. No other city maintained more
than 4, and the majority operated only
1 each.
This report was prepared under the
supervision of Starke M. Grogan, chiel
statistician for statistics of states
and cities. Since the bureau of the
census is authorized by law to colleci
statistics from those cities whicl
have populations of more than 30,000
it was impossible to extend the in
quiry to the many smaller municipali
ties which also maintain markets. Th<
subject is a timely one, in view o
the abnormally high prices nov
charged for most foodstuffs; and thi
information presented in the repor
will be of great value to cities whicl
have not yet established municipa
markets but are contemplating doini
so.

CHURCHESARE
BE REGULATED
AS TO HEEDS
HELENA, Mont., May 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—What is regarded as
an experiment in the practical effect
iveness of church federation, looking
toward a more even distribution of
church facilities and the elimination
of duplication, is to be undertaken in
Montana during the coming summer
by the National Home Missions coun
cil with the assistance of nine protest
ant denominations of the state.
A religious survey will be conducted
throughout the state as a preliminary
to measures to insure that every com
munity shall be provided with a
church and that none shall be asked
to support more churches than its
population requires.
In order to test the practical opera
tion of its plans for church federation,
the National Home Missions council
extended to four western states—Mon
tana, Idaho, Arizona and Wyoming—
an offer to conduct such a survey on
condition that the first state in which
at least five large denominations of
ficially accepted the proposition
should be made the subject of the in
vestigation.
The offer has been accepted by the
Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Episcopal, Congregational, Christian,
Lutheran, United Brethren, Methodist
South and Baptist churches in Mon
tana and the survey is to be conducted
next July. Following an initial confer
ence to be held at Miles City July 8,
9 and 10, three teams will be organ
ized and each will be assigned to a
section of the state, where for ten
days a personal study of the church
situation will be made by the mem
bers.
At another conference to be held
at Helena July 20 to 30, the results
of the survey will be laid before rep
resenttalves of the denominations
participating, and the work of estab
lishing churches in communities lack
ing them will be apportioned among
them. At this same conference it is
expected that steps will be taken for
the elimination of part of the
churches in communities having what
is oonsidred an excessive number.
