Methodism Strong Here, Report Shows | The state of Washington has two Methodist Episcopal churches with a membership of over 1,000, according to Rev. Oliver S. Baketel, editor of the Methodist Year Book. The First Methodist church of Seattle has a membership of 2,226, and the Central Methodist church of Spokane has a memberyhip of 1,343. Statistics furnished by Dr, Baker show that the number of Methodist Episcopal churches with a member. ship of over 1,000 in the United States has almost doubled since 1915. [In 1916 there “were 163 such | churches, compared with 282 at the present time. The city of Philadel phia haa 11 such churches.

Here's another instance: A lone girl, out of work and penni- less, was drawn into Nabatame's web early last month. To get the $160- month job that he promised her, she borrowed $26 from a friend and “invested” it. Since that time she has managed to get $20 back from Nabatame in tiny sums doled out to her from timé to time to keep her from actual starvation, Her room rent was due November 1, and when Nabatame “stalled” her off she had to pass the “stall to her landlady, Later Nabatame gave her a “guaran: tee,” but the landlady~who can hard- ly be blamed for her skepticism—ri ‘DEFEAT UNITES WORKERS.

For practically all of the victims whom Nabatame talked out of money and work are in circumstances that it would be charitable to describe as moderate. He knew better than to work among moneyed people, because peo- ple who could afford to be muleted have the embarrassing habit of ask. ing for references and other creden- als before they invest. So Naba- tame confined his activities to people who literally put in their last ny to get in “on the ground floor. finally Quit in disgust.
