In a letter warning the public against
danger from forest fires State Forester
Halves points out that a bill intended to
safeguard woodland met its fate in the
senate of the last legislature. The bill re
quired the use of spark arresters on loco
motives and portable saw mills during
certain months of the year. This meas
ure, which is similar to those in force
in Massachusetts, New York and Canada,
was passed by the house of representa-
tives, but some sinister influence caused
its death in the upper branch In view
of the fact that the worst forest fire
thus far this season was set by a portable
mill State Forester Halves does we'll to
express the hope that there will be time
for this legislation at the forthcoming
special session.

Worker.
This sensible and simply written
little work is the first to present occu-
pational hygiene IN a popular form for
the use of the workers themselves The
usual hygienie instructions are modi-
fed to meet the requirements of seden-
tary occupations and those involving
changes of temperature and unusual
danger from machinery or poison.
There are chapters on the worker
toilet, fatigue, holidays, accidents, fire
and tuberculosis, and an excellent dis
cussion of the hygienic conditions and
safety DEVICES which the factory en-
ployee Is entitled by law to expecr.

The weakness of the state case in
the murder trial of Julius Wells of
SwantOn, who was acquitted, was in
failure to show the purchase or pos
session of poison ON the part of either
Mr.. or Mrs. Wells. After Mr.. Wells
was discharged Judge Miles ordered
the case against Mrs. Wells mol
pressed, thus saving the large expense
of another trial when there was no
probability of conviction.

GOV. HODGES WAITS.
No Successor to Henderson Martin
Until After Latter Returns.

Although it ,is believed that Gov
ernor Hodges has made up his mind
on his appointment of successor to
Henderson Martin, chairman Of the
state utilities commission, no an
nouncement could be pried from the
executives Office this afternoon. The
governor said he preferred to wait
until after Martins, return from
Washington, when the ,chairman's ac-
ton on his appointment to the vice.
be known and when he could be con-
suited relative to his successor.
No word has been received from
Henderson Martin since his offer by
President Wilson yesterday. Although
no one knows what action Martin will
take on the matter, there is no doubt
of his resignation from the utilities
commission and his acceptance of the
government position in Manila.
Hugh Farrelly, last years candidate
for the United States senate and a
man who is talked of for the same
candidacy in the next campaign, was
in Topeka today but would make no
remarks for publication either on
his rumored candidacy for Martins
place in the utilities commission or
for the United States senate.
mere Is plcnty OF Time TO talk
about all these things was his ster-
eotyped reply to all questions.
Farrelly has been mentioned very
favorably for the utilities work. Also

commission; c. r. Foley of Lyons, Ed

1t is not anticipated that Henderson
Martin will leave his Craftsmanship of
the utilities commission for some
time. He has heard scores Of impor-
tant rate cases that have been en-
tered into only slightly by the other
members Of the commission. It is be-
ieved that it will take many weeks
work to clean up his Kansas slate be-
fore leaving for Manila.

IDA GROVE MAN
elaine SHARE

Ida Grove, Nov 24.-Charles Hicks,
a farmer living north Of Ida Grove, left
last week for Los Angeles, where he
has instituted a suit in the courts of
that state for his share Of his fathers
estate.
Mr.. Hicks was born in Centerville
81 years ago, his father being farm
or at that time. He moved to Cali
fornia soon after the latter's birth and
in that state accumulated a fortune
estimated at the time Of his death at
5000 900. This fortune he willed to the
children Of marriage he contracted in
that state.
The Ida county heir received the first
intimation of his claimed fathers
death about six months ago and he
employed Attorney George Fl. Clark to
gather the evidence to establish his
heirship. Among other papers that the
attorney is said to have secured was
one, a certificate Of acknowledgement
in which Hicks was acknowledged as
son.
He also found number Of old resi-
member circumstances that prove Mr..
Hicks claim, and their evidence was
put in the form Of dispositions.
The will devising the disposition or
the estate makes no mention of Mr..
Hicks as a son, and under the inheri-
lance laws of California. Mr.. Hicks
can come in for his share as a forgotten
heir.
Overtures of settlement have been
made by their heirs.
