PROMINENT CITIZENS

DISCLOSURES OF BANKS Az

STATE OFFICIALS.

Columbus, Ohio, March 19.-DiSclos-
ures made today in the affairs Of thu
now defunct Columbus Savings Bank
& Trust company, which is being con
Quoted before Judge George Okey, sit
ting as master of chancery, involved
two former stat t~reasurers, /. i. Cam
l. o and w. S. tMckinnon, many Of
II officials of the bank and Columbus
politicians and business men.
Henry W. Backhus, secretary and
treasurer of the institution, was the
chief witness.
Daniel II. Sewers, li%puidating agent
of the wrecked CONCERN, in a state
ment today to the steering committee
of the protective association, formed
by some thousands of the depositors
and other creditors, many of whom
have lost their life savings by the fail
urc, declared he could find no reason
for the hope that stockholders of the
bank would be able to recoup any
thing whatever.
For the depoSitOrS there was a pros
pect that they may receive as much az
so or 10 per cent.
The passage back and fourth of Il
mysterious black Sdtchei tive the
office of the then state treasurer, |. b.
Cameron, and the Columbus Savings
Bank & Trust company. a explained
at length by Mr.. Backhus in his testi-
mony.
Backhus asserted that there was an
Conformation bureau" working between
the statehousc n the bank, and that
the money QUIZ be placed in the
treasury before the arrival of the ex-
aminers. Testimony was given to
show that Treasurer Cameron and
others were largely interested in cor
porations at York, Pa, and elsewhere,
and hat these interests were rcspon-
sible for many of the financial trans
actions which are now under scrutiny.
Virtually all of the securities, it was
alleged by Sewers, that are held in
connection with loans advanced by the
bank, have shrunk in value unit now
they represent approximately 1000, 900
instead of the $2,315. 900 they were sup
posed to have represented.

FIRE LOSS NOMINAL
a. MI IL hN
WEATHER CONDITIONS AND BET
TER SYSTEM OF PATROL
DECREASE DAMAGE.

Figures prepared by the forest serV-
ice relative to he number of forest
fires and the fire losses of the ma
tional forests for the calendar year
1912 have been completed and present
some interesting contrasts with fire
conditions during previous sessions.
The summary shows that less than one
acre to every 1000 of timbered land
was burned over and the total damage
is estimated at $70,290, or less than
81 to each 1000 acres of area These
figures are for the whole area en-
braced in the national forest and not
alone for field district No. 1, where
the fires and the losses during the
past year were so small as to scarcely
enter into the totals.
The good record is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions in
most localities, and second, the in
creased efficiency of the fire-fighting
organization. AS congress makes
available the means for extending the
system of communications on the ma
tional forests, the equipment of trails,
roads, telephones, and lookout sta
tons is greatly enlarged and the fires,
it is said, are discovered more quickly
and fought more rapidly.
An especially good showing was
made by the forest officers last year
in eXtinguishing fires outside the ma
tional forests before they reached the
forest boundaries. Such fires con-
stituted more han one-siXth of all
fought by the forest rangers and
guards. About nine-tenths were ex-
tinguished before they touched the
forests. OF the fires within the forest
boundaries more thar Is per cent
were on lands in private ownership.
Nearly one-fourth of the extra eXpen-
ditures due to fighting rlres-that is,
expenditures outside the time of the
regular forest force-was incurred in
fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency, followed by rail-
roads, campers and incendiaries, in
the order given. The greatest losses
occurred in Arizona, Arkansas and
California, in which states there was
also the largest proportion of fires
caused by lightning and by incen-
diarism. About q per cent of all the
fires We're started by lightning, and
wv W pa va ""S ~ $500
lessness. The proportion in each case
was practically the same as in the pre-
vious ear.
The total number of fires was 2.472,
as compared with 1859 in 1911. They
burned over, in the aggregate, 230, 600
acres as against 100000 in 1911. Cali
fornia led all states in total number
of fires, and in the number caused by
lightning. Arizona stood second in
both of these Considerations. Arkansas
stood fourth in total number Of fires,
n first in those of incendiary origin,
with California second. The one ma
tional forest in Kansas had only one
fire, which burned less than 10 acres
and cost Sill to eXtinguish. North
Dakota had no fires on its n small
forest.
OF the 2,472 fires. over Is per cent
were put out before 10 acres We're
burned over, and nearly so per cent
before one-quarter of an acre was
covered. Only II fires caused damage
of more than $1,000 each.

AUSTRIAN CRUISERS
SAIL TOWARD SOUTH

London, March ia Vienna dis
patch that three battleships, an ar
mored cruiser and two torpedo de-
stroyers left Pola, the chief Austrian
naval station, early this morning,
steaming in a southerly direction.
1t is understood, the dispatch adds,
that their sudden departure was due
to the bo~mbardment of the European
quarter of Scutari, the searching OF
an Austrian steamer at San Giovanni
di Medua and the threatening OF
Austrian sailors by M~ontenegrins.
The official explanation of the de-
parturc of the warships is that they
are going to carry out maneuvers.
The Vienna newspapers publish
sensational reports regarding the po-
sition of the civil population of Sou
tart.
According to these reports, the Aus
trian consulate and an Italian con-
vent We're shelled and eight nuns and
many other non-combatants killed.

$22,651,OoO in wages; in 1902, s12,-

attention to the fact that while the
gross income had increased but So

wages had increased 81 per cent. u

JEWEL CASE AND PINcUsHIoN
Who ls Required to Do Consider
able Travelling.

One OF the most convenient little
accessories to the toilet for the wo-
man who travels about a great deal
is small jewel case and pincushion
combined.
1t is made of a piece Of fancy rib
bon or plain satin twelve inches long
and six inches wide. The material is
sewed together lengthwise, then
divided into three parts, four inches
in each. either by stitching it on the
machine or with very close cross
stitch or featherstitching.
Do this stitching four inches from
one side first, then fill the center with
WOOL to form the cushion In which to
stick the pins, then stitch it across
four inches from the other end.
There you have a solid center with
hollow end, and these ends are turned
in to form hem one inch wide. In
these small casing is run. with mar
row ribbon placed through that SO as
to pull it up like little bag on each
end
This makes a fat cushion in the
center, having baglike ends in which
the tewelry is kept, brooches, brace
lets, rings, chains and the watch. when
1t is not in use. The cushion can be
decorated with some pretty design
done in cross-stitch or an embroidered
initial or small spray of flowers
Such case can be made of any
material you may choose. Brocaded
satin is always pretty; plain satin Gov
cred with lace or coarse linen that can
be Numbered will be found a salts
factory substitute for other more ex-
pensiVe fabrics.
One side Of the cushion may be
used for Jewels and the other for
sewing materials-cotton, scissors.
