Bad outlook for Forestry Bill.

Washington.-The report of Chair
man Jenkins declaring unconstitution-
al the Appalachian-W mountain
forestry bill, was by him submitted
Wednesday to the house judiciary conf
mittee in executive session, and when
the committee adjourned at the call
OF the house the indication was that
1t would be concurred in by at least
10 of the 10 members.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine also sub
mitted report holding the bill to be
unconstitutional, when Mr.. Brantley
of Georgia handed to the committee a
report upholding the measure as con-
stitutional.
A deciding vote will be had Friday.
Chairman Jenkins in his report
holds that the general government
cannot, under the constitution invade
a state and take possession Of land
for forestry purposes, as the bill pro-
vides. He hinges the legal problem
on the question of whether forestation
is an aid to creating and maintaining
the navigabllity Of streams within the
scope Of the constitution, and he holds
squarely that it is not.

MORE BODIES FOUND.

The Remains of Three More Victims
Of Chelsea Fire Discovered In Ruins.
Boston.-Three more bodies were
found in the ruins OF the Chelsea fire
Wednesday, Two deaths as result
OF the fire were also recorded.
Mrs, Letitia Busteen, 80 years old,
died at the Relief station from injur-
les received during the fire, and Frank
Mahan, 10 years old, who was kicked
by horse Sunday night, died at the
Soldiers home in the afternoon. Ma
han is said to have lived in the east
side of the city.
The total known dead Is now 12.
The first body discovered was in
the ruins of a house ON Chester ave.
nue., near Garden cemetery. 1t was
found by DR.. Thomas Bonney of this
city, and as the spot where 1t was
found was the home of his mother,
DR.. Bonney believes it was her body
Ladderman Riley of the Chelsea
hook and ladder truck discovered some
bones in the East Side district, and
believed to be those of James H.
Cole of 397 Broadway, were found in
the alley in the rear of the Shackford
block on Broadway
Medical Examiner George B. Nc
grath learned that it was reported that
bones had been unearthed in the yard
of the building which stood at the
corner of Highland and Bellingham
streets, and he and driver Timothy j.
Cunningham of the Chelsea police
patrol wagon went there, but failed
to find them They were told the
bones were discovered by a fireman
and later buried by medical student.
From early in the morning until
dusk firemen, laborers employed by
the city and militiamen searched the
ruins near the home of Dr. James B..
Fenwick on Chestnut street for some
traces of the body of the doctors
wife, Mrs. Minnie l.. Fenwick, a mem
ber of the Chelsea school committee,
who is supposed to have been lost.
The search was without success.
The work of removing dangerous
ruins is in charge of Superintendent
of Streets James A. OBrien and Sup
erintendent of Public Buildings Wal
ter Bachelor. More was accom-
plished Wednesday than any day since
the fire and it is expected that if
the work continues the remainder Of
the week as it did during the day all
the dangerous structures in the city
will be torn and pulled down before
the end of the week.
Workmen are devoting their atten-
tion for the present to the places that
are regarded as most dangerous. Along
Broadway the owners of stores and
business houses have engaged men
who were at work throughout the
forenoon and afternoon getting out
safes from the ruins. In almost every
instance the safes in brick buildings
have been found to be intact.
On Wednesday the city was open to
everybody and passes were not need
ed except at the high school building.
The Chelsea police are being assisted
in preserving order by four compan-
les of the state militia in charge of
| Col. E. Leroy Sweetser of the Sth reg
iment. The police and troops had
little to do and things passed smooth.
ly throughout the day Up to 2 o.
clock there was an immense crowd
in the burned district Where the
walls were regarded as dangerous
militiamen were on hand and kept the
sightseers away. Cars are passing
! through the city on all lines.

Kills Former Chief.

Northampton, Mass.--John Tracy, re-
Gently suspended from employment in
the street department, shot George F.
Birge, Northampton's superintendent
of streets, in the head recently at the
street department barn.
Tracy then walked home and shot
himself in the abdomen and in the
mouth.
Both were taken to the Dickinson
hospital at once, Birge died at II a.
m. and Tracy, after lingering all day,
succumbed at oclock in the evening.
The motive of the deed is supposed
to be anger at being dropped from the
street force, though Tracy had been
moody and queer" for some time and
had even threatened to shoot his wife.
II is believed that he intended to shoot
Mrs. Tracy, but that she escaped by a
lucky chance.
Tracy was laid of Friday with 9TH
or men for a short time, and showed
some signs OF anger, finally saying
that he was going to get through and
demanded his time. He said that
other men had been given work when
he was refused, and he considered this
unfair.
