MATHEWS SIGNS UP
 FOR KNIGHT MATCH
(From Sundays Daily.l

Danny Mathews and Phil Knight the lattcf a lightweight of eastern fame. will go fifteen rounds before the Prescott \. C. early in Janu ary. Negotiations satisfactory to lii parties were closed yesterday. Dan ny Mathews has signed the articles of agreement. Knight has been told 10 come ahead" and all other ar engagements in connection with the bout are being completed.
 Danny showed the proper spirit by going halfway in the argu- mcnt over guarantee, etc, and the matchmaker found no difficulty from that angle. The boys will divide their share of the house. sixty and forty per cent.
 Naturally. Danny feels confident of annexing another scalp to his already large collection. But. ac, cording to those "on the inside. :" Danny has another guess coming Knight is q boy who has not only showed class. but possesses all kinds oi experience by virtue of a long career in the ring. Assurance is advanced that Knight will show the fans what is known as class"
 Knight is at present in Los An gclcs from where he sipnilicd his willingness to go on with Danny. Word was yesterday sent him to come ahead. He will sign the arti- cles of agreement when he land, here
 The scrap will either be pulled off in Doughcrty's hall on January 7th or 9th, with the final date 70 be decided early this week. In ad- dition there will be offered no less an added attraction than a bout between Jack McNIahn and Willie Fitzgerald. Two other preiims are assured. The main bout is 10 go fifteen rounds, the scmi-fnal eight rounds, and the prelims assure a grand total of about thirty rounds Of boxing in one night
 Mathews is in prime condition and it IS deemed unlikely that he will start training before the end oi this week Knights arrival is awaited with keen interest.
 Just who will referee the bout re mains open to conjecture. l. IS highly probable, however. that Fred Bartlett, of Ash Forl; will he called upon again. Fred did good worl, in thc Mathews-Gagc bout.

 CALUMET. Dec. 26.-Reiusals t0 accept one cent of the twenty-five thousand dollars collected for the re- lief of families stricken by the ca tastrophe in which seventy-two los, their lives. resulting from panic at the Christmas eve celebration in Italian hall. confronted the commit tee which gathered the funds.
 Every bereaved household which was approached told the men and women in charge of the distribution of funds they were promised ade- quate aid by the Western Federation of Miners and no other assistance was wanted.
 Members of inc relief committee, selected at yesterdays mass meeting, blamed this condition upon the ru- mors that the man who started the panic among tine children of the striking miners, wore the emblem oi the Citizens Alliance, an organiza- ton regarded aS opposed to the con tinuancc of the strike. To combat this sentiment they obtained from Anthony Lucas. the prosecuting at torney of lloughton county. a state ment that he was satisfied from the progress of his investigation that the man who raised the cry oi Fire" wore no insignia of any kind.
 Mover Run Out.
 CALUMET, Dec 26.-Charles II. Mover, president oi the Western Federation of Miners, was put on a train and sent out of the copper strike district tonight
 His deportation was the direct result of the refusal of the families, stricken by Christmas eve disaster here, to accept relief from the com mittec. the majority of whose mem- bers belonged to the Citizens Al liancc. an organization combating the five months strike of the fed eration. Mover said he refused 20 make a retraction satisfactory to the committee.
 A short time later he and John Tanner of California. organizer for the federation, were observed on 2 street car going from Hancock 70 Houghton. Just across the bridge connecting the two towns and about four hundred feet from the structure is the depot of the Copper Range railroad There it was noticed Moy- CT and companion boarded the train to Chicago, accompanied by three men who seemed to be guarding them. but there was no visible dem onstration in reference to coercion.

 Improvements on the Forests.
 The forest, are being made in- creasinqly accessible. More than $50 miles of road. nearly 300 miles of fire lines, nearly 4O0O miles 3f telephone lines. and 2,00O miles of trails were built The present value of all public improvements on the forests is somewhat over S30OO.- O00. rwo-thirds of this amount hay ing been put in,o lines of communi- cation and protection
 Receipt. from all sources for the year were slightly under S2,5GO0On. showing an increase of IA per cent over 1912, while expenditures for administration and protection were slightly over S4.GC0,GG0. showing a decrease from 1912 of per cent. It is pointed out that the work of examining and appraising timber prior to sale is seriously behind hand in some regions, and that larger receipts from timber are con tingcnt upon the funds that can be made available for this purpose. Al though money for timber sale work .iS necessarily subtractcd from what is needed to protect the forests against fire, improved organization of the fre-protective system has increased its efficiency. Owing par.- ly to favorable weather conditions the total fire loss was only $67, GOO, less than 10 per cent of last year, which was the best to date.
 The resident population of the forests is given as nearly 200G00, and the transient population is over 1,50O,OOO Recreation use of the for ests IS increasing greatly, and Is in some places giving rise to the need for careful sanitary regulation in the interest of the 1,2o0 cities deriving their water supplies from streams protected by the forests.
 Money for the States.
 Under existing law. 25 per cent of the gross receipts from the for csts is paid over to inc states by the Federal government for the benefit of county schools and roads. An additional 10 per cent is expended in building roads and trails for the benefit of the public. About $5Sz,- GOO will be available for the state during the current year from last years receipts, besides $235,000 pro vided for in the road fund Alto gcther, including special funds 10 Arizona and New Mexico. the na- ional forests provided nearly $S67,- lOO to be expended for the benefit of the states in which they are situ- ated.
