Clerk May Not he Drowned.

Ansonla Sept 30-Littlo has been learned since yesterday to relieve the anxiety which Is felt here for Robert Lincoln Clark, formerly of New Ha- ven. who 1t is feared was drowned in Lake Geneva, near Vevey, Switzer- land. September 27 Young Mir ClarkY father and two brothers are working every possible source to gain some definite information regarding the young man, but up to this noon had received little encouragement in their quest.
 The family of Mir Clark is some what skeptical about the genuineness of this cablegram and entertain some suspicion that 1t was sent by some one impersonating the young man.
 This belief is strengthened by other such messages which have been re- ceived and which are known to have ben sent by some other person than Lincoln Clark

Forest Blases Again Spring Up, Tanned by Steady Wind Throughout North
 Woods.
45,000 ACRES DEVASTATED
Government Forestry Bureau Esti- mates Loss at One Million Dol. lars Day--Might Have
 Been Prevented.

Saranac Lake, N. Y. Sept. 3o.--The forest fires in the Adirondacks, which were temporarily checked by the heavy rain of Monday night, are again springlng Into life in every direction. Famed by steady wind the fires once more are assuming dangerous propor- tions.
 The wardens are rushing men to Dannemora, where a big fire Is in progress. Although communication by telephone has been cut off in many di- rections, 1t is learned that fires are in progress at Alder Dam. Cutley Mills. Altona, and at many points around Saranac Lake. The old fires on Mount Baker are becoming particularly se- rious
 An unofficial estimate, based upon what Is believed to be reliable author ity. at the damage caused by the for est fires shows that 44,935 acres of land already have been swept by the flames. Of this total tract 5000 acres In state land Ninety-four buildings have been destroyed. and standing timber and cord wood and logs to the value of many thousand dollars have falen prey to the flames.
 Fire fighters employed by the state and various towns in the effort to check the sweep of the flames have work ed total of 10655 days. In addition to these hundreds of men and great quantities of supplies and equip ment were furnished by the railroads without charge.
 Hundreds of small trees which were planted on the Wawbeek road by the Cornell forestry college have been de- stroyed, and hundreds more on Chubb Hill. planted by the state forestry de- partment have been ruined
 Washington, Sept. BOA loss of s1,000,00 day during the time that forest fires have ben burning in va rlous parts of the United States Is esti- mated by W. J. Magee, the erosNn ex- pert of the department of agriculture.
 The forestry bureau, In a statement to-day, says that probably In every in- stance the devastating fires might have been prevented if the states had provided an adequate number of nien to patrol the woods and arrest tie fires in their incipiency. and If luna, bermen and other users of the for . ests had been careful to dispose of brush after logging so as to prevent the spread of fires.
 Exclusive of salaries of forest off, cers the work of putting down fires on the national forests during the past year, cost the government s30,000, which means prcfe-.shs apNroxiinate- ly 16S.000,000 acres. The statement says the loss from timber destroyed in 1908 will be larger than last year, but that 1t is doubtful If the exact losses will ever be known

FOUR BATTLESH|PS
NOW IN DEMAND
MADE BY SECRETARY METcALF
IN HIS LAST ANNUAL
REPORT.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Secretary
Metcalf. of the navy department, in
his annual report recommended that
congress authorize the construction
of four battleships, 4 scout cruisers,
ten destroyers, four submarines, three
golfers, one repair ship, one ammuni-
ton ship, two mine-laying ships
these two ships to be converted from
cruisers now on the navy list
Workmanship, he says, has i'm
proved on the practice cruise around
the world With respect to the as
sertion that our 12-inch guns are in
ferior to those of other powers, the
facts are found to be that the actual
muzzle energy of these Pinch guns,
which form the main armament of
our eight latest battleships in COM
mission, is somewhat greater than
that of any gun afioat in any other
navy
1t is desirable, the secretary states,
to lengthen the dry dock authorized
by congress to be constructed at
Pearl HarDOr, HAWAII, from o5O 10
LAO feet, to render it capable of ac-
commodating two or more vessels at
once. Secretary Metcalf recon-
mends that the navyyards at New
York, Philadelphia Norfolk, Puget
sound, and Mare island be developed
to their full capacity for the repair
and maintenance of ships, but says it
is not further desirable to develop
other navyyards, at least until that at
Guantanamo shall have been equipped,
the last named station being regarded
as of the first military Importance and
as natural startegic base. 1t is
deemed highly desirable to acquire
by purchase or to construct dock in
San Francisco llarbor.

WOULD OVERTHROW
ROOSEVELT ORDER
OF MARINES FROM
WARSHIPS NOT APPROVED
BY THE HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. IA movement
is being considered by several mem
bers of the house looking to the over
throw of recent order of the presi
dent withdrawing the marine corps
from the warships. Just what form
the opposition to the presidents or
der will take has not been decided up
on, but one prominent member yes
terday declared that if the naval com.
mittee did not take some step to de-
fend the marine corps, there probably
would be provision offered on the
floor of the house expressing the dis
of that body of the presi-
dents policy.
That the naval affairs committee
will attempt to retain jurisdiction over
the marine corps, despite the fact that
the presidents order practically limits
their service to land. was made evil
dent when General Elliott, Colonel
Denny and Colonel George Richards,
of that corps, were heard in explana.
ton of estimates for maintenance OF
the corps.

CHARGES
DISTURB MAGNATES
UMPiRES KLEIN AND TOMBSTONE
SUBMIT STATEMENTS TO
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

New York, Dec. 12.-The session OF
the national league of baseball CLUBS
had a sensational close yesterday
when charges of attempted bribery of
.umpires who officiated at the game
that decided the championship OF
1908, between New York and Chicago
at the Polo grounds, October 8, were
sprung and the magnates appointed a
committee to probe them, even init
mating that criminal prosecutions

tees report. The committee consists
of John T. Brush, president of the
New York club, chairman; Charles H.
Ebbetts, August Hermann and Presi-
dent Harry C. Pulliam of the national
league The names of the men who
are alleged to have attempted bribery
were not disclosed, nor are the partic-
ulars.made public. The statements OF
alleged attempted bribery were sub.
mitted that Umpires Klein and John
stone. The action of the umpires in
refusing to be bribed was highly COM
mended by the league and a thorough
investigation was ordered.

BIG SWAMP TRACT
IS RECLAIMED
LARGEST PROJECT IN ILLINOIS
IN HENRY AND BUREAU
COUNTIES.

Credited as the largest single piece
of land reclamation work in Illinois,
the Green river special drainage prof.
ject in Henry and Bureau counties
receives considerable attention in the
yearbook issued by the Illinois geo
logical survey. The Green river pro-
ject is pointed to as most interesting
enterprise calculated to make tillable
large areas of fertile land that hereto
fore were. practically useless for cul
tivation purposes. The main facts
as regards the work are given in the
yearbook.
The tortuous channel of Green river
is being widened and Strengthened
for distance of forty miles SO as to
give continuous channel of ninety
to 120 feet top width, six to eighty
feet bottom width, and ten to twenty
feet deep-a no mean waterway. 1t is
estimated that the total cost was $780,
600, including laterals, right of way
and damages. The main ditch is
twenty three miles long and the total
excavation is estimted to amount to
100000 cubic yards.
Drainage work, such as this is usu-
lily financed in part by cash tax levy,
assessment on the land benefited, and
in part by bonds. In the case of the
Green river district forty-twO per cent
of the amount was made by direct
tax and the remainder by bonds. 1t
has been demonstrated that the
money spent on these improvements
creates permanent values far exceed
ing the amount expended In this dis
trict the work cost about $13 for each
acre reclaimed. The land has in
creased in value as result of the
drainage project many times that
amount.

priations committee felicitated them.
selves on the outcome. The bill car
ries $31,665.32O.
The house, Immediately after con-
vening, unanimously and without de-
bate adopted a resolution providing
for the appointment of committee of

any, should be taken in the matter.
"On account of the unsettled finan-
cial condition of the world during the
two years last past" Representative
Humphreys of Washington introduced
