Hampshire Also Heavy Sufferer.
AT SOUTH WATERFORD.


South WATERFORD, Me, July ID
With the dropping of the wind at sun
down tonight, the coo or more fire
fighters battling with the smoke, elm
here and East WATERFORD. sent back
word that the forest fire was appar-
emily under control and had stopped
spreading.
No more buildings were burned to-
day, but the fire spread through a
valuable growth of heavy timber to-
ward the direction of East WATERFORD
and the efforts of the firemen were
confined TO that district.
During the day sparks set fire to the
lumber yards of c. w. Smith & Son in
South WATERFORD, where 100000 feet
of sawed lumber is stored, but the fire
was extinguished before much damage
was done and an extra guard has been
placed over the property.
Altogether more than 500 acres of
old and young timber growth has been
burned over by the fires, which. after
wiping out nearly the entire village
last night. swept on into the woods and
ragged on all sides of the town through
the night and today Among the heaYi-
est losers owners of timberland were
c. w. Smith & Son, whose miles in
the village were burned; Wilbur Wor-
cester, Herbert Emmons, c. II. Robert,
James Hill. Mark Emory. Mrs. Jane
Roberts, DIR. J. F. Downs and the r. w.
Kicker heirs of South WATERFORD and
DR.. Henry a. Brock of Portland.
The total fire loss, including the 10
buildings burned in the village and the
timber growth destroyed outside, it is
conseryatively estimated, will be in the
vicinity of 100000 Although some
two score families were burned out
and lost their all there has been no
suffering owing to the hospitality and
generosity of neighbors in this and
other villages and temporary shelter
was found for all To meet the needs
of the unfortunate ones, a quantity of
clothing was, however, sent up from
friends in Portland today.

IN NEW ENGLAND.

Boston, July lS.-The forest fires of
Maine and New Hampshire which
came as an aftermath of the 10 days
of torrid heat that parched the fields
and woods to the dryness of finder,
were for the most part reported under
control tonight. barring the rising Of
any considerable wind during the next
"a hours.
A thousand, and possibly 2900 acres of
timberland have been burned over in
the two states and the loss is estirnat-
ed to be we'll up toward 600 in
standing lumber alone.
The Moosehead lake region of Maine,
known as the wild lands. is tonight
the center of raging fire, the extent
of which can only be surmised. The
dropping of the wind and the work of
hundreds of fire fighters kept the
flames from the scattered dwellings
and in localities seemed to have
stemmed the tide of fire, but only rain
and the continued absence of wind for
several days could give absolute as
suranee of the quelling of the fire.
Similar conditions prevail at South Wa

Meets Her Sweetheart,
Serving on a Jury,
Il The Jury Falls 10 Agree viii
The Women Raise Fury?
II the Sweetheart--0h, Fudge! Let
Spokane Settle II.

Spokane, Wash, July 13.-(SpeciaD.
What to do with women who Will
be called to serve as jurors with men
when the Spokane county superior
court cOnVenes next September, is one
of the vexing problems confronting the
five members of the bench. headed by
Judge Henry l.. KEENAN,. The various
clubs IN Spokane have given out state
ments that their members are ready
and willing to do jury duty. The judges
hope a modern solomon or Portia will
come forward to unravel the tangles
presented by these possible situations:
If II women are selected to try a
case and six disagree from the other
six.
If four women decided they are right
in a civil action and six men jurors
hold opposite views.
If mixed jury of men and women
is kept together In a felony case until
all are agreed upon verdict
If six women and six men are locked
in u room to determine the guilt or
innocence of person charged with a
capital crime.
Relating to service of jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by the
Legislature OF 1911. says
ANY woman desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exemp-
ton by signing a written or printed
notice thereof and returning same To
the sheriff before the date of appear
ance. and if exemption is claimed by
reason Of sex, no fee shall be allowed
for her appearance"
The law provides that the jury sworn
to try the issues in felony cases shall
be kept together and in custody OF the
officers of the court except during he
actual progress of the trial, thus put
ting it squarely up to the judges to
solve the problem allowing the ques-
ton 20 solve itself. if the women who
desire to serve as jurors can not settle
il themselves.
