quested banking houses in the north

movement to enlist owners Of tmba
lands in the work of the organic

the forest resources.
"We have received numerous iDOuhl
les from eastern banks concerning tbs
progress of forest fire work. said II
T. Allen, forester of the association
"The bankers tell us they are insist.
ing more and more that borrowers
should be actively identified with or
CARNATIONS that afford central faciltis
for fire protection.
Although rather new, this is a mat
ter of vital Importance to banking and
timber interests. Clearly, timber pro
tected by the union of its owner witt
surrounding holders In supporting e1.|
Gent machinery for patrol and frs
fighting and directing public sentmeit
against the fire evil, is a safer secuitT
or asset than timber not protected d
looked after only in a desultory way.
cit is greatly to the advantage d
banks dealing with lumbermen not only
to impress this upon their clients but
also to do all they can to advance i
movement of fire prevention on lands
surrounding their securities PR
gressive timber owners, who are alreadl
doing their best to reduce the Al
risk, naturally desire the banks to Us
their influence to bring into line ID
too large number of owners unwilling

Mr.. Allen said also that while forss
fires are practically unnecessary, y
estimated money loss to the nOrthVe'
ern and Pacific states alone will ayerag
$4O,O00,00O a year, adding that n'a
of the fires are caused through eals

BIG BOILER EXPLODES.
Six Men Blown to Pieces aud -Four
Fatally Injured.

New York, Oct. 20.-Six men we're
blown to bits, four we're fatally injured
and a score or more seriously hurt
when a big ten ton boiler exploded
today in the plant of the American
Manufacturing Company, a jute con-
Germ, at Greenpoint, l.. /.
When the huge boiler let go, tearing
rough the walls of the building, and
hurting mutilated bodies over a block,
twenty-five hundred employees in the
plant stampeded for the exits. Two
thousand OF the employees were women
and girls, and they jammed the door
ways and stairways, trampling upon
each other in their panic-stricken effort
to leave the building
There were a dozeu men at work on
the big boiler when it exploded.
Work had just begun for the day,
and the big jute factory was filled with
employees. Without the least warning,
the big cylinder split like a bomb,
hurting the workmen through the
wrecked walls, and driving four big
cylinder heads up through three floors
OF the building.
All OF the dead were machinists al
work on the boiler. Three OF them
were blown through a side wall OF the
building, and their bodies we're found,
horribly mangled, in the street. The
others were found under the debris.

gar, constituting himself an attorney

eraI mismanagement, and alleged re-
batting.
While the two deputies were making
things interesting in the meeting half a
dozen others guarded exits from the

The Crlppen Case.

London, Oct. 20.-The Crown closed
at O'Clock this afternoon the prosecu-
ton OF DIR. II. II. Crippen, and the
dapper little American doctor at once
prepared to take the stand in his own
defense. 1t was expected that he would
enter an emphatic denial TO all the
charges.
There was general belief about the
court room that the Crown had failed
TO make out strong case, in that il
had not been able to prove positively
the identity or sex OF the body found in
Crippen's home.
Today's testimony for the Crown was
repetition OF that brought out in the
preliminary hearings.
DIR. II. H. Crippen took the stand in
his own defense this afternoon.
Crippen said the last time he saw his
wife was on January 81, OF this year,
and he said he believed that she fled TO
America. TO avoid scandal, in con-
nection with her and Miller, Crippen
said he concoted a story that she had
gone to America to attend to certain
private business for him i'll California,
and that while on her way to the Amer
lean continent she had died and had
been incincerated there.
Crippen admitted that after his wife
disappeared, Miss Leneve lived with
him As his wife in the Hilldrop Cres-
cent home. He had been intimate with
her during the past three years. He
said he had frequently visited hotels
with her. Crippen was questioned re-
garding purchases Of hyoscin, the deadly
poison which he is charged with having
used to murder his wife. He declared
that he had never given his wife any
poison. The hyoscin, he swore, he had
given in very small doses, to several of
his patients who had been suffering
from nervous disorders.
Crippen denied not only that he knew
the identity Of the body found in the
cellar OF his Hilldrop Crescent home,
but also that he knew of anybody being
in the cellar until he was brought back
to England under arrest.
