SWEPT BY FOREST FIRES |
Millions of Feet of Lumber and a Saw
mill Destroyed
The Flames Threaten the Town OF Glen Hazel
But Relief Has Been Sent From
Neighboring Cities

BRADFORD, Pa, May 5..--The most
destructive forest fires known in this sec
ton for years have been raging for the
past week.
About 3 o'clock this morning fire
started between Glen Hazel and Keltners.
Delivers sawmill, located between these
points. was soon destroyed. together
with 10000 600 feet of lumber, an engine
house, railroad switches. sixteen cars of
lumber and COAL eight dwellings. an oil
well and several thousand acres of tim Der
land.
a special train, consisting of steamer
and large force OF tremen, was sent
from here. The firemen were unable to
do anything but divert the course of the
flames. Everything in the woods is very
dry and tine leaves and underbrush fur
nished fuel for the Blaze and the flames
are going up the hillside at rapid rate
and destroying everything in their path.
The air is filled with sitting smoke
and the flames shoot up as high as the
tops of the trees. Several people were in
jured in escaping from the flames.
This afternoon a second appeal was re-
ceived from Glen Hazel asking for more
help and thirty-five tremen with hose
were sent by special train. 1t was feared
the fire was about to cross the east
branch of the Clarion river and sweep out
the town of Glen Hazel. The woods
along the Erie railroad between Keltner
and Bradford are on fire and it is feared
the loss to oil and lumber property will
be great
Fires are raging between Rixford and
Farmers valley on valuable timber lands
and large quantities have been destroyed.
The Colum bia company's property is now
threatened. Between Crawford Junction
and Riterville a fierce fire is raging on
hoth sides of the Erie railroad tracks.
A fire has been raging at Chipmunk since
Thursday.

and the furry caused by her actions shows
no signs of subsidence. The governments
of all the Central American states and
those of several of the South American
countries have telegraphed to President
Zeaya suggesting the formation OF a COM
mecial union against the products of
Great Britain and also against the trans
portation of Central and South Amer
lean products in British bottoms.
If such union could be definitely ar
ranged and the terms be put into force
quite a severe blow would be dealt to
British trade and eventually the British
government would find is treatment of
Nicaragua had cost um of money far
in excess of the smart money that she de-
manded of Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-As far as is
learned, the subject of a commercial un-
ion such as indicated in the above dis
patch. has not been a question OF very
recent discussion here by the diplomatic
representatives OF the South and Central
American republics. Union is said to be
desirable by some. from the standpoint of
such union as would contemplate the
prohibition of the importation of English
products and the closing of the Central
American ports to English bottoms is re-
garded as highly improbable. 1t is not
balieved any dispatches on this subject
have been received here.
DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister,
would discuss the matter but briefly and
then rather discouraged the formation of
such a union as that suggested. Minister
Mendoza OF Brazil was disinclined Ito be-
lleve that commercial union between
the states of Central and South America
was probable at this time. He had re-
ceived no information that dispatches of
the kind stated had been sent to Presi-
dent Zelaya. although it might be that
messages OF sympathy had been trans
mitted. He thought the question of q
local union between the states of Central
America was matter for themselves and
one in which Brazil had no direct inter-
est. He did not think Bra zil would take
such a step as that indicated, partly on
account of her large interests with Eng
land. Why, he asked, should Brazil take
any such action any more than the Uni
ted States?
Official confirmation of the evacuation
of Corinto was received late this evening
by DR.. Guzman. His information simply
stated the evacuation took place this
morning. DR.. Guzman' kilograms appa-
rently conveyed the only information on
the subject received in this city through
official sources during the day, the state
department being without any news on
the subject

BUILDING UP A DEFENSE
Durrant Will Show II Was Another
Fellow
Novel Claim of the Attorneys for the Young
rlan Charged With the Famous
Church 1urders

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Now that
Theodore Durrant, the medical student,
has been remanded to the county Jail to
stand trial on the charge of having mur-
dered Miss Blanche Lamont on April Sd
last in Emanuel Baptist church in this
city and Miss Marian Williams on
April 18th in the same edifce, the law
yers for the defense are seeking to stem
the tide OF public opinion by telling ON
what lines they will conduct the case.
The attorneys for the accused say they
will prove that the yard of the.church
has been the trystin9 place for people
living in that neighborhood; that Dur
ant had no. a reputation as a lady-killer;
that another member (now an eX-member)
did j.; that the latter frequently visits the
church, though now II n-resdent that
this person was one whom all the young
ladies of the church distrusted; that he
frequently took liberties with them that
upon one occasion he was alone with
young lady in the vestry. and that his ac-
tions were such as to cause her to have
ser Gus hysterical attack; that only de-
sire to avoid public scandal prevented
his arrest and prosecution at that time;
that said ex member was during April
present at the church, to which he at
one time possessed key-one that fitted
the side door; that this person knew and
was intimately acquainted with Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams; that this
person has been married and divorced
and has also been an inmate of an insane
asylum
Durrant's attorneys conclude by saying
they are confident that before many days
the burden of guilt will be openly borne
by the responsible criminal.
1t is strong and significant fact how
ever. that Durrant's lawyers have pre-
vented him from making the statements
which, they claim, will exonerace him.
Durrant's refusal to explain the things
that seemingly connect him with the
crime, while in the same breath he dog
gedy maintains that he is innocent, is
largely responsible for the settled convic-
tion among a majority of the people til at
he is guilty
