Of her husband, John D. Rich, in Juar

been released. Her release was or.

Forests and Fires.

The recent drought left the Forestry
Department of the Empire State exposed
as lamentably below the standard Of
efficiency which the value Of the State
forests and the States responsibility for
preserving them as barrier Of safety
for private property demand. Our
public woodland is a possession far too
precious to be left without adequate
protection against the danger of fire that
begins with drought and grows with it's
duration; more effective forest-fire de-
partment is required, either permanent
or within the possibility Of immediate
organization when dryness calls for it.
The axe can be heard. The woodchop-
per can never for any length Of time or
to any serious extent elude the forest
warden; but fire, which does no good to
any one, and to the timber thief least Of
all. is the most powerful of all enemies to
the forests, and for extinguishing it, or,
better still, for making it impossible, q
State organization, intelligent, active and
fully equipped, is plain necessity.

who are sure to appear, Of the folly and
the arrogance OF strike from such a

their business to run the Huntington union

criticise their action. II the latter had con-

A highly interesting turf possibility OF the
near future is the meeting, In a special race
of the three two-year-olds. Broomstick
Magistrate AMI Hamburg Belle. Rarely
has there been seen at this early time OF the
year a more promising trio OF thoroughbred
youngsters.
Mr.. SYDNEY PAoET believes that he has in
Hamburg Belle, fne-looking daughter OF
the great Hamburg, the champion filly OF
the season, and perhaps a majority OF the
shrewd horsemen in these parts share the
same view. In her first start at Graveeend
Hamburg Belle covered Ave furlongs In
100 is. winning by ten lengths from fairly
good field; while on June s, with ia ppunds
on her back, she won the Criterion Stakes
in remarkably easy fashion in 100 rs She
is a very impressive Ally.
Magistrate, Mr.. AUGUST BELMoNr's, and
the largest OF this trio physically, has shown
himself to be o racehorse in every sense OF
the word. This son of Hastings and Lady
Margaret first distinguished himself by
winning the National Stallion Stakes at
Morris Park. on May Is, from Mr.. WHIT
NEY's Ieondas. Mimosa and Stalwart
commonly regarded till then az invinci-
BILE, and Mr.. KEENE's Palmbearer Magis-
trate's time for the five furlongs was 0.5s fiat
Last Monday he carried 122 pounds to vic.
tory in the Manhanset Stakes at five and
one-half furlongs. over the Gravesend
track. Magistrate seems to possess many
of the admirable qualities Of his grandsire
st. Blaise together with the superb proper
lions Of Hastings.
Mr.. 8. 8. BROWN, who is reported to have
proposed the meeting OF the three thorough
breds in question. can see nothing in the
two-year -old ranks able to vanquish his Ben
Brush colt. Broomstick. Broomstick, on
his first appearance, was the hero OF the
Juvenile Stakes, at Morris Park, on May I
when he carried l22 pounds Ave furlongs in
o:5o fat. On May 20 he captured the Ex'
pectation Stakes. under the same weight
while on June he picked up 1925 pounds
and ran OF with the Great American Stakes
in 100, beating on that occasion Stalwart
to whom he conceded ten pounds. 1t would
be hard to find a much better record than
this.
There are some who would like to see
Leonidas included in the race suggested
inasmuoh as he Is reputed to be the best
two-year-old In the Whitney stable. Leoni-
dass best race seems to have been that in
the Eclipse Stakes. on May n, when, with
l22 pounds, he ran the five and one-half
furlongs in l:07H, winning handily from
Palmbearer.
All Of these youngsters possess marked
ability. and it Is to be hoped that, before
many days, an opportunity will be offered
for them to try each other out

The alleged scandalsus developments in
the Post Ofioe have followed 80 closely
upon one another that 1t 10 bit difficult to
keep track OF them; but up to date it appears
that they have involved three divisions Of
the Post Office Department. These are:
The Rural Free Delivery Division, the Di-
vision OF Salaries and Allowances and the
Attorney Generals ONCE OF the Depart
ment. 1t has been charged that MAcHEN,
formerly chief OF the Rural Free Delivery
Division. was an interested party to the
sale OF a certain patent fastener for letter
boxes. The Division Of Salaries and Al
lowances became involved in the charge
that promotions in the Department were
sold to those who could afford to pay the
price. When this charge was made, Supt.
BEAVERS OF the division resigned. The
Attorney Generals Office has been mixed
UP with the charge that opinions favorable
to certain turf investment concerns were
signed by former Assistant Attorney
General TYNER and by his assistant,
G. A. C. CHRIsTlANCY.
MAcHEN was recently indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury Gen. TYNRR was re-
moved and row comes the news that Mr.
Of absence, will have his case brought to
the attention OF the Postmaster General
within the next few days. 1t would appear
from what Ia publicly known Of Mr.. Chris
TIANcY's case, that he signed report, made
by some one else, which gave fairly clean
bill of health to one Of the turf-swindling
outfits, In doing this, it ia said, he followed
the example Of his late chief. Gen. TYNER.
1t remains to be determined whether the
Post Once scandalsNare confined to these
three divisions. The whole business Ia
up to Postmaster General PAYNE, with
the supervising eye Of Mr., ROOSEVELT over
all. II Mulberry Street methods are to
prevail in Pennsylvania avenue, the whole
atmosphere Of the Post Once Department
ought to be cleared in reasonably short
order ".-=' -. 80
