FURTHER FOOD RIOTS IN NY.
 ROUSE POLICE

New York. Feb. >27-Public officials and private citizens working to bring down the price of food here went ahead with their plans today without waiting for the enactment of relief legislation in Albany. The mayors food supply committee had contracted for large quantities of food on it's own responsibility. Its latest pur- chase is several hundred thousands of Brazilian brown beans which will be sold at a much lower price than is now paid for beans of domestic varie- ties. Ten tons of Columbia river smelts purchased in Tacoma last week will arrive on Thursday.
 Food riots on the East Side called out the police reserves last night and active agitation against prices shows no signs of cessation A committee representing some 50 organizations of foreign born citizens began raising a fund today for the establishment of stations throughout the city where food will be sold at reasonable prices
 Tn anticipation of enabling legisla- tion the city authorities are arrang- ing to have retail grocers designated as distributing centers for the food the city will buy. Stores so used will display a sign. The city will make only enough profit on sales to pay the grocer's commission.

crease this year is due to decreases reported by several denominations and denominationa1 groups. The Disciples of Christ sustain an apparent loss or 769 caused by faulty method of count ing in previous years; the Methodist Episcopal Church loses 68, the North ern Baptists 33, the Northern Presby- terians 97, the Episcopalians :. These and other losses reduce the consider able gains of the Roman Catholics, 199. the United Brethren, 70, the Lu- theran Synodical Conference, 105, etc. It is quite probable that churches, particularly in the rural regions, are being closed or merged for the sake of economy and efficiency.
 The gain in ministers is 2,643, which is nearly double that of 1915. The largest gain, 478, is reported by the Roman Catholic Church; the Bap- lists added 365, the Lutherans 15S, and other bodies smaller numbers.

 Secretary John Whelan of the Bridgeport Amusement club under whose auspices the exhibition will be held at Eagles hall announced to- day that foremost among the entrants are couples from the Washington dlees and Annex clubs of New Haven, St. Thomas society of Waterbury and from Hartford, Meriden and Wili- mantle.
 Requests for blanks have been re- ceived from nearly every city and town In Connecticut, with the result that in all probability the largest and most important championship event of it's kind ever held in the state will be recorded for this city. It has been decided by the committee that the capital prize, $50. will be awarded for waltxinE alone, other styles of dancing being in preliminaries only. Among the disqualif fications decid- cd upon by the committee of dAncing masters in charge of the decisions is s'the heel" To prevent use of the heel all shoes will be chalked before the contest begins. Any mark upon the floor will disqualify the contest ant making 1t.

PLAN REPORT IN FAVOR
 OF MODIFIED 3-DECKER

At the next meeting of the common council the ordinance committee will report an ordinance permitting the building of the three decker type of 1 houses. The proposed amendment to l the building code comes as the result of a resolution which went before the council at the last meeting. 1 The change in the code as proposed 1 by Building Commissioner Charles H. Botsford and Building Inspector Dan-
 iel M. Rowland, provides for the build- ] ing of. three family houses, one flat above the other, the houses to have colonial style roofs of ireproof mater ial A .hree-foot stairway, also of 1 fireproof construction will be required 1 leading down from the upper apart
 p1ents The porches Or verandas in the rear must have iron or steel sup- l ports and floors of concreate or other fireproof material
 l The ordinance will be drawn by the I city attorney and will have public l hearing before it is adopted by the council The building commission CTS and members of the common coun- | ell are of the opinion that the ord1n ance should pass in order that rents l at reasonable rate maybe provided for working people.
 Judge F. K. Nicholson appeared be- l fore the committee in favor of a pro- nosed ordinance forbidding the build- l ing of a bakery, garage or stable in the city limits within a radius of 200 feet of other buildings unless the consent of the owners of adjoining property is obtained.
 No action was taken on the propos- ed increases in the salaries of the city officials or of. the street cleaners and other city employees.
 A proposed ordinance forbidding the sweeping of sidewalks or streets dur ing the hour from 7:30 to S:a0 q. m. was referred to the board of health.

In 1890 the total religious strength was 20,61S,000, so that in twenty-six years following the net in- crease has been 19,399,000 or 94 per cent, while the gain in the population of the country for the same period has been about 39,00O,000 or 61 per cent. The churches. therefore gained faster than the population.
 Of the gains in 1916 about PIG, 1000 were of the Roman Catholic and some 500,O00 of the Protestant bodies. Among the latter, 136,000 are credited to the Methodist, 132,000 to the Bap- tist, and upward of 79,000 to. the Presbyterian and Reformed group. The Episcopal Church had a gain of 27, 1000 and the Lutheran bodies of 20,- GOO.
 The gain in 1916 in number of churches was small only 117. In the previous year, however, there was a net loss The smallness of the in-

A widespread sentiment favoring the purchase by the United States government of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, is being engendered by the recent activities in this direc- ton by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion.
 So much interest has been aroused by these efforts that a congressi siona1 committee on public buildings and grounds recently made trip to Char lottesville, Va, accompanied by many distinguished men, to inspect the home.
 The owner of Monticello, Jefferson Levy of New York, recently consent ed to sell the home to the government with the understanding that it be pre-
