FIRES IN CALIFORNIA
FORESTS ARE out
AFTER RAGING FOR THREE DAYS AND
D0lN6 100000 DAMAGE, FOREST
FIRES IN FOUR COUNTIES ARE UNDER
CONTROL.

San Francisco, Calf, Sept. 24.-Aft.
er burning for three days with dam
age to timber and agricultural lands
estimated at $1,000000 and upwards,
forest fires in four counties of central
! California were reported today under
control,
! In Santa Cruz county, where only
/ desperate work saved the Hercules
powder works, smouldering embers
were being watched on the hillsides
today by an organized system of
guards.
In Napa county, the Napa Soda
Springs and Wilson's Inn We're both
reported safe and the flames in Ca
pell, Foss and Gordon canyons under
control Twenty families are re-
ported homeless.
The town of Newcastle in Placer
county, thought last night to be men
aced with destruction was saved by a
shift in the wind.
In San Mateo county a fire was
burning in the timber lands far back
OF La Honda. in the remote hills and
reports were but meager, but such
news as could be obtained indicated
no danger to life.
The little town of Pescadero was
out of touch with the world. both tele |
phone and telegraph wires having
failed, presumably because the poles
had been burned down, but the last
word was that the fire was eating
away from the village, and that there
was no fear among the inhabitants.
The largest burned area is in Napa
county where a score of families were
burned out with much loss to ranch
ers and orchardists. A black strip
eighteen miles long and five miles
wide lies across the face of the coun- /
ty. Nowhere was any loss of life re-
ported.

FOREST SERVICE TO EXPEND
$4,000 ON STATE ROADS

The forest service this year will
have to eXpend on roads in New Mexi-
co and Arizona practically the same
amount it spent last year. This means
that New Mexico will receive approxi-
mately $4,000 and Arizona about $25,
900.
The road improvement funds rep
resent 10 per cent of the receipts of
timber sales received by the forest
service in the last year. There was
some doubt as to whether congress
would allow the subtraction of 10 per
cent this year, as it did year ago,
for roads, but the congressman finally
decided to continue the practice.
The difference between the New
Mexico and Arizona road funds marks
proportionally the difference be-
tween timber sales in the two states
The forest service engineering depart
ment has not yet apportioned the
funds according to forests This will
take some time.

REPUBLICANS
FAVOR RULES
OF N. Y. STATE

Washington, D. c., Sept. 24.-Repub-
lican leaders in Washington identified
from the first with the demand from
the Republican national convention to
revise party rules and procedure, ex-
pressed strong approval today of the
platform adopted yesterday by the
New York Republican state conven-
ton
The Republican national executive
committee, which last summer agreed
to call the entire national committee,
within sixty days after the adjourn
ment of congress" is now being urged
to take immediate action.
The specific demands of those who
want the party procedure changed ac-
cording to those chiefly interested in
the movement, here, are clearly en-
braced in the resolutions of the New
York convention, namely to allow
states to determine the method of Sc
curing their delegates to national con-
ventions, and to base the representa-
tion in conventions on the number of
votes cast for the party candidates at
previous elections.

SPEAKER CLARK
DEFENDS THE
CAUCUS METHOD

Washington, d. G., Sept 24.-Speak.
er Clark quit his gavel today to take
the floor to defend the Democratic
caucus against Republican attack.
This continuous howl about the
caucus is the most idiotic thing that
has ascended to heaven in the last
generation" shouted the speaker.
"The country wants to know what
congress does, it doesn't care three
whoops how it did it. We have re-
vised the tariff and put through a bill
changing the banking and currency
system.
"If those measures are not good we
will be the ones to suffer: if they are
good we will gain, but we did not pro-
pose to let you Republicans bring
up other subjects on the floor while
they were under consideration and
distract the attention of members
from the fact that great issues were
Speaker Clark said that he would
not answer Republican attacks by
calling attention to the way former
Speakers Reed and Cannon pu,
through important legislation.
THAT would be case of the pot
calling the kettle black he said.
"A lot of your fellows have been
alking too much for your own good,
anyhow" concluded the speaker to
he accompaniment of a prolonged
)utburst of applause from the Demo
,rats.
Progressive Leader Murdock took is
sue with Speaker Clark on his state
nent that the country did not care
low congress did things, SO long as
hey were done. Mr.. Murdoch said the
caucus resulted in lack of decorum
brought about small attendance and
ended in gag rule. He said there was
10 reason why the doors of every
committee room should not be open.

CURRENCY BILL MAY BE
IN COMMITTEE UNTIL NOV. 1

/ Washington, D. c., Sept. 24--The
administration currency bill from the
viewpoint of the farmer and the grain
merchant was discussed before the
senate banking committee today by a
delegation of merchants from the
northwest who opposed the provisions
cf the bill as they expect them to af-
feet the country banks.
F. +. Kenaston, a manufacturer of
farm machinery suggested that the
committee, before passing on the bill,
visit the farming and business com.
rlunities of the west and become
closely acquainted with business con
dtions. Senators Bristow and Reed
seemed to favor the suggestions.
Senator Bristow expressed the opin-
ion that a majority Of the committee
would support him in demand that
al! bankers, business men. merchants
end others desiring 10 discuss the bill,
bn allowed to appear before the com
mittee. If that course is followed, the
bill may be in the committee at least
q month and probably until Novenl.

Colo.
The suit was brought by the Central
Trust company of New York, trustee
for the bonds of the Colorado Midland

Denver & Rio Grande, the Rio Grande
Junction and Geo. ]. Gould.

tion stock had been deposited as col
lateral security, was invalid.

only require majority vote. while a
minority, greater than one-third might
decide the other way. How, then,

prefer to have ample time to reflect
on the arguments here presented by
counsel and to look up the authorities
cited, Therefore, | should desire that
this question be left open until the
final vote on the guilt or innocence of
the respondent.
In support of that desire, |. under
the power vested in me by the rules
Of the court, shall overrue the obiec

he respondents counsel be denied |
