CHURCHES EMPTlED FASTER
THAN THEY ARE BUILT

New York City-"An extraordinary
situation now exists in New York
City" said Eugene NJ. Camp, presid-
ent of the Seabury Society, in an adj
dress yesterday
within the last few months new
churches and buildings for Christian
uses have been opened that have cost
5 million dollars and there are pro-
jected and under construction others
costing 5 million dollars more. At
the same time million dollars worth
of church property on Manhattan Is
land is for sale and before long there
will be Is million dollars worth for
sale. Still worse, there are half Il
hundred churches up town as we'll as
down town, worth millions, that are
empty or nearly so.
This situation" he added, docs
not indicate that Christianity is fall
ing, it simply means that Manhattan
is ending its career as residence
borough and is becoming the busi-
ness, finance, social and hotel district
of the continent"

present eruption had two craters. One
iof these had been closed and silent
for many years, the other, a huge,
ragged opening in the mountain crest
has for centuries given off small
quantities of steam.
Around its base are several hot
springs, evidence OF subterranean
conditions are several draws.
The island and its volcano are
scenicaly beautiful and both Japanese
and foreigners in large numbers con-
stantly visited them. The permanent
population was considerable running
probably to $4,000. Much of the soil
of the island was rich, and sugar
cane, fruits and vegetables were en-
tensively cultivated.
Sakura-Jima had it's last general
eruption in 1879. and while accurate
information as to the suffering and
damage which it inflicted is not avail
able, the occasion so impressed itself
on the people that the eruption was
commemorated by a monthly festi-
val. This day is still observed by
many of the people and for decades
no boats were allowed to leave the
island during the celebration, rule
which is said to have had its origin
in superstition.
The surrounding coasts and the
country in several directions are
heavily populated and the number in
the danger zone is hundreds of thous-
ands. The chief city in danger is
Kagoshima, which lies almost in the
shadow of the volcano and is separ-
ated from it by narrow strait.

RUSSIANS FINED
FOR FISH SALES
PAY FINE OF s25 FOR PEDDLlN6,
FISH SEEMED FROM THE JIM
RIVER

Alexandria, S. D.-Members of the
Nilltown Russian colony were before
the local court in this city on Satur-
day of last week charged with the
offense of peddling without a Ii
cense, fish taken from the jim river
by means of seining, and for which
they paid a fine of $25 and costs.
The amount of fish taken from the
river in the southern part of Hanson
county during the past fall and win
ter is quite astonishing, the four
Russian colonies having taken the
principal part of more than fifty
ties; the Rosedale colony securing
nine double wagon-box loads, or
about ten tons of fish at single half
mile haul of their nets, few weeks
since. Many people from this vici-
nifty visit the river to witness the
seining operations which are said to
be skillfully conducted by those peo-
pie, and certainly result in wonder
full success.
All authorized fishing operations
are conducted under the personal
supervision of Deputy Game Warden
Frank Martin, of this city; all fish
of the game varieties taken from the
nets. being returned to the water.
However, with all the seining that
has been going on in the vicinity dur
ing the past number of years. and
the immense quantities of fish of
these varieties that have been taken
from the river, the supply seems
rather to increase than diminish,
while the varieties of game fish,
plentiful, have become practically ex-
tinct.
State Game Warden Hedrick, OF
Chamberlain is quoted as saving moi
long since that 'the time is coming
when the James river be stocked with
game fish, with dams every few miles
TO keep the fish in the localities in
which they are planted
While the fact that no variety oi
game fish can exist to any extent in
water inhabited by these sucker
fish, there seems but little hopes Of
exterminating them from the jim
since the supply is derived from the
Missouri river, and despite all efforts
to get rid of them, and the immense
quantities that have been taken, is
constantly increasing. AS for the
retaining dams every few miles, such
would be without effect, since in case.
of high water or spring freshets i
is not Unusual for the river to over
flow its banks at many points, ant
frequently attain width of mil,
or more. And then, again, if the
water could be confined to the river
course, dams of sufficient height tt
confine the fish to the localities wher,
planted, would result in great dam
age through the overflow of farm
lands thus occasioned.

Huron, S. D.---The following is the
platform of Mr.. r.. o. Richards as

II believe that progress in govern

too many propositions in one cam
paign or merely finding fault without
suggesting practical remedies, which
characterizes the many lengthy plat
forms of factions and parties of late,
does not point to progress but to
organized hypocracy and political con-
fusion. Truth prompts progress TO
full action by degrees and not by
leaps and bounds.

SEATTLE VOTING ON
 NEW CHARTER TODAY

SEATTLE. June 30.-Seattle is vot ing today upon the new charter pre- pared by the recent freeholders' con vention, and upon various bonding propositions that involve $1,750,000. The new charter also submits to the people the alternative proposition as to whether or not street railway fran chises may be granted without com mon user clauses.
 If adopted the new charter will pro vide for city manager to be selected by the city council, which Is made the legislative body. The proposed coun' cil would consist of 30 members to be selected from as many districts. The Mayor would be the presiding officer of the council and given power to ap point the chief of police, which would virtually make him the head of the police department. Aside from these two perogatives his position would be more ornamental than important. His salary would be reduced from $7,50O to $2,5OO year.
 It requires majority vote to adopt the charter and 60 per cent. of the votes cast to adopt the bonding prop ositions. The registration is nearly 75, 900.

SUFFRAGE STATE
 MATTER SAYS WILSON

WASHINGTON, June 3O.@7President Woodrow Wilson received several hundred woman sufrragists today. The President told the women that he be- lleves that woman suffrage is a prop, CT matter for State action and that 1t is a State question and not a question for the Federal government to settle Continuing, he said: "The President of the United States has a dual per, sonality; first, he is the chief execu' tive of the Nation, and, next, he is the leader of his political party. In both capacities, must refuse to push wo' man suffrage as a National issue"
 Some of the women, over the protes. tation of others, began to heckle the President. He replied to them that he had stated his views clearly, in re- sponse to their request, and that he must refuse to enter into discussion of his private views on the merits of the claim of the women to the right to vote. Then he thanked the women, and turned and walked out of the East room and back to his office.
