FEARED THAT MANY
e SEARCHING PARTIES
MAY BE NEEDED.

San Francisco Calf, April 27.-
The first specific appeal to the trans
port Buford for help on her trip TO
the west coast of Mexico ports, be-
ginning Monday noon, was received
here today, from Paul Carpenter, of
Los Angeles He asked that a search
ing party be sent for George Carpen-
ter, an American civil engineer, in
charge of irrigation works at Topo-
lobampo who last was heard from
three weeks ago at Guasave, twenty
miles inland from Topolobampo.
At that time Carpenter sent word
that his camp had been attacked and
swept clean of everything portable,
including firearms. The probability
that there will be need of other in
land searching parties and rescue ex-
peditions makes officers here anxious
that the Buford should carry 100 or
more armed men as we'll as pro-
visions and full hospital equip
ment.

The negative speakers denied there had

SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS
PROBLEMS ARE PROBED
Workers of Men and Religion
Forward Movement Gather
Statistics of City.

Wash1ngton'S social and religious prob
lens have been made the subject of in
by workers of the local men
and religion forward movement cam
patgn. Every activity OF the movement
has been for more than three months
gathering information and statistics re-
garding its own line of work, and the
conclusions reached will be presented in
the eight-day campaign to be held here
February II to Is.
For convenience in handling the work
and in arranging the data obtained. the
survey has been divided into several Ge-
partments. including boys work, Sunday
school conditions, social conditions, and
the status OF the city churches.
Most important to the average citizen
is said to De the social survey. Clergy
men and laymen have been engaged Tor
several months examining the conditions
of housing and OF labor in Washington.
Of the city have been subjected to investi-
CATION, and all the aspects OF social life
nave come in for consideration.
Count Phones and Autos.
Statistics as to the number OF telc-
phones and automobiles owned in the
District have been gathered. At first
sight, such information may not seem to
be OF particular value, but, in connection
with the multitude of other things brought
out in the course Of the work, it is said,
these figures have a very real value in
fur nishing data concerning tire compare
tive standard of living in Washington as
related to other cities Of approximately
the same size.
The survey is made in accordance
with instructions issued by the New
York office en- blanks provided. The
Industries of the District, the hours OF
labor Of their employees. and their gen.
eral conditions as regards prosperity
are dealt with fully, each district be-
ing taken up separately. Statistics
have been gathered regarding the num-
Der of dwellings in the city, and
housing conditions are registered in
detail.
The boys of Washington come in for
a very exhaustive study AT the hands
Of the men and religion forward
movement. Their occupations. their
education and their amusements are
considered; the number In the Sunday
schools have been obtained. and some
facts have been gathered as to why
the otherS-who comprise the great
majority-have preferred to remain
outside the Sunday schools. The older
boys crusade, it is declared, is already
making great Roadway in bringing
back into the Sunday schools those
BOYS who have deserted, for the most
part through lack of interest, and the
work of the survey. 1t is claimed. has
given the men and religion forward
movement the information it needs re-
garding the means OF holding them in
the Bible classes once they have been
brought back to. them.
Washington is said to have many pc
culiar problems. and the men and re-
ligion forward movement, Is making a
determined effort to solve them.
