WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Forest
Service has sent it's assistant editor,
r. w. Pullman. TO Duluth, Mimi. to make
a thorough examination and investigation
of tho recent forest fires that visited thst

scription Of what he finds. Mr.. Pullman

is conducting. this particular work OF
inquiry for the commission. Is sending
out letters all over the country asking
for data on the subject. This informs
ton will be combined with statistics Of
a similar nature to throw light on the

PLAN TO RETIRE COL. STEWART
Ordered to Appear Before the Army
Retiring hoard IN washingten.

f
WASHINGTON. Sept. n.-Col. William
F. Stewart Of the Coast Artillery. who for
some time has been exiled at Fort Grant.
Ariz., on the order Of the President be-
cause Of certain alleged -temperamental
infrmities' which In the judgment Of
the President unfit him for the command
OF troops. was to-day ordered by Secre-
tary OF War Wright TO appear before the
army retiring board at Washington
barracks. The order was issued by the
Secretary after reviewing the report of
the commander OF the Department Of the
Colorado conveying the findings OF the
medical board which passed on Col.
Stewart when he applied to take the
ninety mile ride ordered by the President.
The medical survey found the Colonel
to be unified for the physical exercise
entailed by the ride because Of heart
trouble. and his orders to appear before
the retiring board followed. He will
arrive in Washington within a week il he
starts promptly on receiving the orders.
which were telegraphed to him this after
noon. The personnel OF the retiring
board Ia not settled. but Brig. Gen. Hall
will be the chairman.
1t was rumored at the War Department
to-day that Col. Stewart is a victim Of
heart disease and is also almost blind in
one eye. His enforced retirement Ia ac-
cepted as a matter Of course at the De-
Gartment. That the Colonel will not
yield cheerfully is certain. He has ex-
pressed himself as ready and willing to
undergo the horsemanship test and de-
clares that he was never in better health
in his life.
