ExoNERATED DIR. A. ]. FULLER.
Vermont State Medical Board Decided
So on States Failure to Move.

Burlington. July 10.--Iast evening
the secretary of the Vermont state
board Of medical registration reported
that they found DIR. A. J. Fuller not
guilty of the charges Of unprofessional
conduct and immortality brought against
him. The reason for the decision in
favor Of Fuller is given by member Of
the board as the fact that If he were
guilty OF adultery as claimed, the civil
authorities would have taken action. As
a result Of the decision Fuller will go
back to Maine and there await the de-
cision of the Maine state board Of medi-
cal registration.
Fuller was overjoyed at the news and
promised everything in the way OF cor
rect behavior in the future. The evi-
dence which was heard by the members
Of the board was contradictory. Many
letters were read testifying to the i'm
moral character OF Fuller and others
were read which told of his excellent
character. Some OF the men who were
referred to as witnesses Of his corrupt
practices were found to be writer's OF
letters testifying to his good character.

AMENDMENT TO CURRENCY BILL.
Retains Circulation Privileges of Two
Per Cent. Bonds Twenty
Years

Washington, d. c., July l0.-Secretsry
McAdoo has issued statement an
nouncng that he and Chairmen Owen
and Glass of the Senate and House bank
ing and currency committee, had agreed
on an amendment to the currency bill
which would retain the circulation priv
ilege for the United States two per cent.
bonds during the entire period of TWEEN
ty wears over which it is proposed to
retire the existing S700,000,OO0 issue of
national bank notes secured by these
bonds. 1t has been declared by critics
OF the bill that the recent decline be-
low par in the market value of the two
per cent. bonds was due to the provisions
of the bill limiting the bond secured cir
culation of the banks to the amount
outstanding when the bill should become
law, thereby depriving the bonds of the
circulation privilege and decreasing in
vestment value.
Examination of several features of the
administration currency bill was begun
yesterday by the currency and banking
committee of the chamber of the United
States, in special session here. II is
probable several DAYS will be consumed
in the discussion before the committee
is prepared to report. 1t is said at the
headquarters of the chamber that the
committee is not opposed to the bill as
il stands; but believes it needs strength
ening in several vital particulars.

THREE VILLAGES THREATENED
BY Forest Fires Which Break Out Near
San Francisco.

San Francisco, July l0.-Forest fires
are blazing on three sides of Mount Ia
malpais. landmark of California and
playground and park of all the cities
clustered about San Francisco bay
Three villages are threatened and many
handsome private estates on the noun
tain are in danger.
Three thousand soldiers, sailors, naval
apprentices, forest rangers, militiamen
and volunteer fire fighters are fighting
the flames and the women in the threat
ened territory are working as hard as
the men.
Shops are closed and business is at a
standstill through the threatened sec
ton. Col George bell 10th United
States infantry, assisted by District
Chief Dubois of the forestry service,
is directing the fight. Thus far there has
been no loss of life and little damage
to private property although the pos
sible danger is enormous and immi

The fire has eaten its way to the sea
on the west and into the redwoods at
the head of two CANYONS on the east and
north, leading to the towns of Mill
Valley, Corte MADEIRA and Larkspur.
