HIGH WINDS SWEEP FIRE
THROUGH MONTANA FORESTS
ForeSters Give Up Hope of Stop
ping ConfIagration

KALISPELL, Mont, Aug 20-The
tara is the worst in the history of
this section as the result of the high
winds which set in this afternoon,
causing the forest rangers practically
give up all hope of staying the pro
gress of timber confagration Three
big new fires were reported today, to-
gether with the destruction of two for
est rangers camps with all their sup
plies and possessions. The men have
fed and their wherea bauts tonight are
not known. They are in the gravest
danger, however, and Forest Super
visor Haynes will meet two companies
of soldiers at Olney and an endeavor
will be made to rescue the men.
The forestry officials tonight are
fighting overwhelming odds with abso-
lutely no chance of accomplishing any
thing without heavy rainfall. On the
Blackfoot forest tonight alone there are
nineteen distinct fires, many of which
are practically beyond control The
whole region lying north of the Great
Northern tracks extending toward the
Canadian frontier is a mass of flames.
Eleven companies of United States
troops are now on the forest reserves.
Three more companies arrived tonight
from Camp Sparta, Wis, and from
Bolton, and will be detailed to various
points. Two companies are en- route
from American Lake Wash.
1t was reported last night that a fire
had broken out near Smead, a little
station on the Northern Pacific, just
west of Thompson, and was doing con
siderable damage. The fire is burning
so closely to the track that traffic over
the line has been stopped.

T.R. WANTED INDICTMENT
Names of Big Men Figure in the
Perrin Case Investigation

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O-That he
would not draw an indictment charg-
ing c. P. Smell with perjury because
he did not believe that he had COM
mitted that crime during the Perrin
trial, was the statement of Assistant
District Attorney Black in response to
the questions of Senator Stone during
the afternoon session today of the SEN
ate committees inquiry into the adj
ministration of criminal law by fed
eral officials. The witness also denied
in answer to the senator's queries that
Special Agent William J. Burns had
told the grand jury that President
Roosevelt, Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock and Attorney General Bo-
naparte desired the indictments of DR..
Perrin.
Near the close of. today's session Mr.
Black was cross-eXamined by Barclay
Henley, attorney for DIR. Perrin. The
cross-examination was marked by sew
eral lively tilts between the witness
and Henley, but no facts not brought
by Senator Stones questions were
added to the record which will be used
when the senate committee meets at
Washington.

FOR MORE TROOPS
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
Situation in Oregon Is Becoming
Extremely Serious

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Forest
fires are spreading in oregon and to
day the situation in the Wallowa and
Crater national forests In that state
is extremely serious. The forest serv-
ice received kilograms from its dis
trict officials making urgent appeal for
additional troops. 1t was said that
five more companies were needed to
cope with the conditions of the Crater
forest. The war department promised
to comply with the request so far as
troops were available. Fifty additional
soldiers were ordered to the Wallowa
and more will be sent, if possible.
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army. has ordered train of
about seventy pack mules from Fort
Russell, Wyo., to Missoula, Mont, to
be used in sending supplies to the
troops who are fighting the fires in
the interior of the forests. These
mules will be used wherever needed.
The fires in the Colville national for
est in Washington, have been extin-
guished, according to a telegram re-
ceived by Associate Forester Potter.
The two companies of troops which
have been operating in the Colville res
ervation are being transferred to other
points.
While officials here find some con-
ISOLATION in the sanguine report from
Washington state, they are rather pes
simistic over the general situation, for
as far as the flames are conquered in
one locality they burst forth with re-

Congressman Humphrey Comes
Out Against Reelection
of Speaker

SEATTLE, Aug. 20.-Representative
William e. Humphrey, one of the clos
est supporters of Speaker Cannon in
the house, stated tonight that he would
not vote to re-elect the speaker. Mr..
Humphrey is being opposed for renom-
ination by the insurgents of his dis
trict because of his relations with
Cannon.
The congressman says: "Press dis
patches in the last few days have an
nounced that Mr.. Cannon has declaytd
he will be a candidate for the speak
ership of the next house of represen-
tatives. I do not believe he will be. I
have waited several days for an au-
thoritative denial from him, but he has
not seen fit to make one. This action
on the part of Mr.. Cannon, which 1
regret very much, makes me feel that
1t is my duty to state publicly that 1
do not think it to the best interest of
the Republican party for Mr.. Cannon
to be candidate for speaker of the
sixty-second congress and if he is, that
shall not support him.
There is a strong public sentiment,
just or unjust, against his reelection
as speaker. I cannot believe it would
be to the best interest of the Repub-
'lican party to re-elect Mr.. Cannon
again to the speakership.

story was revealed by Mrs. Beta Kol-

before Judge Meyers here yesterday.
Her husband, who had not been sup
porting her, compelled her to work in
a shoe factory and sold the household
furniture of their little fiat, including
the baby's go-cart and clothing, to a
bartender for SO to pay a bar bill. The
bartender refused to allow Mrs. Rolling

Judge Meyers issued the writ of re-
plevin free of charge and saw to it per-
sonally that it was served.
