NEW FIRES SPRING UP
As OLD ONES sUBDUED
Ten Additional Companies of
Troops Needed to Fight Mon
tana Forest Flames

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Forest
fires in Montana are spreading and
ten additional companies of troops are
needed to meet the situation, accord
ing to a joint telegram received today
by the interior department and forest
service from their field agents.
Supervisor Logan of the Glacier Ma
tional park and supervisors Aalnes
and Bunker of the Flathead and Black
foot National forests, respectively, re-
ported that the old fires are practl-
cally under control but that new ones
are constantly appearing and that
troops are needed to meet the emerg-
ency.
They ask that four companies be
sent to the Glacier park and three
companies each to the Flathead and
Blackfoot forests.
Chief Clerk Ucker of the interior de-
partment who is in the Glacier national
park assisting in the fighting of fires,
today telegraphed Acting Secretary
Pierce that he believed the fire situ-
alton could be met and the flames kept
under control with additional troops
but that the conf1agration could not
be entirely arrested until the advent of
rain. Mr.. Ucker suggested that some
of the fires were of incendiary origin.
General Wood, chief of staff OF the
army, TO-DAY sent oruerS Aor Iho uio
patch of five companies of the four
teenth infantry to the Glacier national
park and the Blackfoot and Flathead
indian reservations. Two of these
companies are now on their way to
posts near Helena, Mont. The three
other companies are at the camp of in
struction at American lake.
1t was stated at the war department
that there were mo more troops avail
able for service in Montana and Wash
ington at the present time.

POPUL|S7S NAME
LOSING DEMOCRAT
Gov. ShaIIenberger Rejected by
His Own Party-DahIman
Secures Candidacy

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 19-Additional
returns from Tuesdays primaries re-
ceived today and tonight indicate that
Mayor James C. Dahlman of this city
has secured the Democratic nomination
for governor over Governor Shallenber-
ger by a safe majority.
Returns from 1888 precincts out OF
1645 in the state give Dahlman 24,949
votes and Shallenberger 22,652. The
remaining precincts unheard from Will
have to give Shallenberger TO ]
vote to overcome this lead.
Mayor Dahlman already has started
on his election campaign through the
state. Governor Shallenberger aban-
doned his watch of the returns yester-
day and started to Iowa to make a
speech, but thus far has declined to ad-
nit his defeat.
Although Shallenberger apparently
has been defeated by Mayor Dahlman
for the Democratic nomination, he may
still go on the ticket as the Populist
nominee, Governor Shallenberger was
the only candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination in the Populist pri-
maries. What action he will take in
the matter has not been announced.
The official count probably will have
to settle the contest in the sixth Me-
braska district for the congressional
nomination on the Democratic ticket.
Available returns give Judge Dean,
formerly of the state supreme court,
1906, and w. r. Taylor, 1000. The re-
suit in the fourth district is still in
doubt as concerns the Democratic NOM
ination with the chances seemingly in
favor of Benjamin F. Good Of Wahoo.

ROOSEVELT is SILENT
ABOUT BREAK WITH TAFT
Former President Refuses to Dis
CusS RumorS of Quarrel

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 19.-No dis
position has been shown here yet to
make an informal or official reply to
the stories that have come recently
from oyster Bay telling of serious
break between President Taft and Col.
Theodore Roosevelt. The president
and Mr.. Norton absolutely refuse to
discuss the matter either officially or
unofficially.
There is a general belief in Beverly,
however, that Col Roosevelt, if it has
been correctly represented, is laboring
under an entire misapprehension and
misunderstanding of the facts. There
is also feeling here that better un-
derstanding will be had soon. This may
be stated upon the fact that Lloyd
c. Griscom, president of the New York
Republican county committee, is COM
ing to Beverly next week. 1t is also
said that William Loeb, jr, made an
early visit at the summer capital.
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
who has been in close relationship
with the president during the past two
weeks, will see the colonel at Oyster
Bay this week. Mr.. Longworth not
only spent several mornings with
President Taft on the golf links, but
was present at all the recent confer
enceS.

CLAIMS U. S. EMBASSY IN
MEXICO REFUSED HIM AID
Doctor Ayers His Appeal for Help
Was Ignored

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Applica-
ton for writ of mandamus to compel
Secretary of State Knox to submit
state department records concerning
the case of DR.. James e. Buckley of
Chicago, who says he was refused help
from the American embassy at Mexico
City when he was threatened with i'm
prisonment, was filed here today in the
district court.
DR.. Buckley alleges that James G..
Bailey, in charge of the American en-
bassy, last December ignored an ap-
peal for aid. The doctor was in danger
of arrest on a charge of having admin
istered cocaine, in defiance of Mexican
law, to a patient suffering from appen-
dicitis. The patient said the use of the
drug was against his wish.
When he sought an explanation from
Mr.. Bailey, the doctor says he was told
no attention was paid to such COM
plants until the applicant for help was
already in jail" DIR. Buckley says he
had Senator Jones of Washington write
for an explanation from the state de-
partment The reply of the depart
ment to the senator included only a
portion of the letter of advice to the
department from Mr.. Bailey, and that
portion DIR. Buckley characterizes as
".slanderous and scurrilous and false
Defense"
He asks that the entire correspon-
dence be made public.

FINDS HIS SISTER,
ABSENT 40 YEARS
F. J. Ehrhard of Los Angeles Lo-
Gates Relative Who Came
Here on Visit

After forty years Of separation.
which began in their infancy, a brother
and sister were reunited yesterday.
They are F. J. (Jack) Ehrhard of
Temple and New High streets, Los An
geles r Mrs. c. A. Jessen, wife of a
civil engineer of Salt Lake city, who
is here for a visit and has apartments
at 1927 Orange street.
Their mother died when Jack was
two weeks old, and different relatives
assumed the care of the children, both
of whom saw the light first in San
Francisco.
AS he was only two weeks old at the
time and she was trif1e more than
a year old, neither remembers the
other. but through all the two score
years which divided them they kept
themselves informed about the doings
and residence of each other, and when
they finally met again their joy was
unstinted.
"Blood is thicker than water, after
ALL" said Mr.. Ehrhard. "Do you know
that when saw my sister there was a
kind of an electric thrill which went
through me that I can account for only
because of the fact that she is flesh
of my flesh and blood of my blood.
And when she began to inquire, in a
sisterly way, If I were living a good
life, it made me feel fine, just to think
that somebody cares. She called me
brother from the beginning, and
call her Sis"
Mrs lessen. who was accompanied
by her daughter Rose, who is about
16 years old, will remain in Los An
geles for several months, in which
period the brother has planned that
she shall see the sights and beauties
of Southern California.

.RuMORs GIVE SCARE
TO FIRMS CUSTOMERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-After a swarm
of customers, stirred by rumors, had
assembled in front of the Office of d.
H. Scheftels & Co., curb brokers, this
afternoon, B. H. Scheftels issued
statement in part as follows:
"A clique of stock brokers who have
been operating for a decline in a group
of stocks in which we are interested,
circulated a rumor to the effect that
we were slow in taking up the securi-
ties. AS result there ensued rush
to make deliveries and certify all out
standing contracts. One of the banks
with whom we are doing business and
on whom the contracts were drawn,
certified until $3.50 p. m, which was
thirty minutes after the customary
hour. Then they stopped. They could
have stopped according to custom thir-
ty minutes earlier had they wished.
1--WE called on the vice president of
the bank at o'clock and he gave us
a statement showing that there was
both a cash credit on outstanding col
lections amounting to thousands of
dollars in excess of all outstanding
claims"

Call Is Made for Five Hundred
More Troops by Retreating
Forest Rangers
HUGE AREA SWEPT BY FIRE
Former Senator Fulton and Other
Prominent People Hemmed
in by the Blaze
ASSOCIATED Press)

PORTLAND, Aug. 19.-Five hundred
more troops have been called for by
the forestry service to fight the forest
fires now spreading in southern Ore
gon. Two hundred and fifty men will
leave the American Lake encampment,
Washington, tomorrow, including two
companies of mounted infantry. Horses
which have been hauling artillery at
the maneuVers will be used as pack
animals 1t is feared that one hundred
million feet of timber will be destroyed.
The soldiers will be divided between
the fires now ravaging the Crater lake
national forest, where the line OF fire
extends for eighteen miles, and another
fire at Buck lake, thirty-five miles east
of Ashland, where, famed by fiery
wind, the flames have endangered the
lives and property of a number of set
tiers. Here the roar of the flames may
be heard for miles and embers, carried
by the gale, set new fires mile in
advance of the parent flames.
The Crater lake reserve fires are be-
ing attacked from both the Medford
side and from North klamath Falls.
A call was made tonight by the for
estry service for fifty troops for Pine
valley near Huntington, Ore, where
a fire was discovered today that Is
causing much damage.
SETTLERS ARE BLAMED
According to information received
from Medford today, the bitter feeling
which has prevailed between num-
ber Of settlers and the forest rangers
has a bearing upon the frequency OF
new fires. Before the creation of the
reserve, settlers occupied unsurveyed
lands, but the forestry service decided
1t was more valuable for the timber
than for agricultural purposes.
Several forest rangers are reported
hemmed in by the f1es, and many cat
tie are reported to have perished in
the fire burning along the Snake river,
in the Wallowa reserve. Ore. The fire
at Medical Springs, Ore, which one
company of soldiers, have been COM
batting since August 16, has broken
from control.
In the midst of the Crater Lake fire
district are several prominent Portland
people, including former United States
Senator C. w. Fulton and wife and
Whitney ]. Boise and wife, who were
on an automobile tour. A number
of klamath Falls business men and
their families are camped in the denger
zone.
The fire at Larchmount has burned
two days and caused a loss estimated
at $4,000.

COUGHING AUTOMOBILES
DISTURB JOHN DIS SLEEP
Oil Magnate Attempts to Stop the
Nuisance

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 10
Coughing automobiles disturb the
slumbers of John D. Rockefeller, and
he wants something done about it. Bed
ford Run, which cuts through the
Rockefeller estate, and is the main
highway for automobile traffic between
this point and Pocantico hills, has steep
grades, and inconsiderate chauffeurs,
burning up the gasoline that Mr..
Rockefeller's refineries distill, have a
habit of cutting out the mufflers and
opening the throttle on the stiff ones.
Hence the nightly coughings and bark
ings.
A new sign now stands at the juno
ton of Bedford Run and Weber ave-
nue. directing automobiles to take the
lower and more remote road, but the
chauffeurs are proverbially needless.
To make the warning effective, Mr..
Rockefeller will have to put the pow
er of both the Pocantico village board
and the Tarrytown town board behind
It, He already has made overtures in
that direction, but thus far both boards
seem inclined to keep open one of their
principal thoroughfares to whomever
wishes to use it.
