FLAMES SWEEP FORESTS.
About $500 Acres of Massachusetts
Woodland Already Destroyed.

BOSTON, August 2l.-The unusually dry
condition of the forests and woodlands
throughout the state caused by the al
most entire absence of any copous rain
during the past month has been responsible
to a large extent for the great damage
to Massachusetts forests by fires which
have swept through southeastern Worces-
ter county across the Cape Cod district.
and in Bristol and Plymouth counties.
About 900 acres of woodland have al
ready been destroyed, and In several cases
the flames have not yet been checked de-
spite the fact that 900 men are engaged
in fighting the fire.
The extensive fires which have depleted
Cape Gods forests have had their origin
mainly in small blazes caused by sparks
falling from locomotives. while various
causes have been responsible for the others.
Biackencd trunks and smouldering emberS
are all that now remain in many places
where formerly We're forests of marke table
timber and heavy underbrush.
The most extensive fire is that now raging
in the Douglas woods, one of the richest
areas of tmberand In the state. The
flames there have already devastated 5000
acres in Massachusetts. and have spread
into Connecticut, where the damage is be-
Hevcd to be about one fifth much. Be
ginning in Douglas the flames have eaten
their way through the forest land in the
towns of Sutton. East Douglas, Webster.
Millbury, oxford. CXbridge and East
Thompson and are stil spreading. Bourne.
where more than mile of timberiand has
been devastated is the center OF the fire

said today that he has not reached a def
mite conclusion in The matter Of having In
spector Boardman give up command Of the
detective Office and act as his assistant in
the general conduct of police affairs as
stated in The Star last Sunday. The ,qpes-
ton of procuring additional help to meet
the increased work of the department has
given the chief of police much concern. He
realizes that he has not sufficient num-
Der of men at his command to establish the
several bureaus he desires in order to con-
centrate much of the routine work, but he
may be able to establish some Of them by
detailing older members of the force TO do
the work. Such work will have to be
DONE he believes. can be looked after by
some of those who are unable to perform
regular street duty, but who are physically
able to do post duty He expects to be able
to make the changes about the first of the
coming month. By that time he viii prob

in the matter of transferring Inspector
