EARLY FIRES IN
FORESTS ALARM

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March 4.
The possibility OF a dangerous
spring and summer fire season in
the national forests in the west is
pressaged by reports that two for
est fires occurred In January and
that the snowfall In much of the
Rocky mountain region and In the
foothills has been much below
normal, the forest service an
nounces.
January fires aer almost un-
heard of In the national forests
and the snow reports are regard
ed as especially significant, as
they indicate that unless the de-
ficiency is made up the forests
will be dry earlier In the spring
than usual, with consequent in
creases of the fire menace.
The fires reported occurred in
the Pike forest, In Colorado, and
in the Black hills forest, In South
Dakota. The, latter is believed
to have been of incendiary origin,
according to the district forester
at Denver. The total area burn
ed over comprised about rs acres.
The district forester at Ogden,
Utah, in charge of the national
forests in Nevada, Utah and
Southern Idaho. reported that the
snow in this region also is fall
below normal.

BIG CHICA6O STRIKE STARTS
Street Railway Employees to the
Number of 1880 Ordered Out
by Garments Union

Chicago, June IA strike of the
1880 employees of the surface and
elevated traction systems was ordered
at midnight, Sunday. The men we're
directed to finish their runs and return
their cars to the barns.
The strike was called after an all
day conference of the transportation
officials, labor leaders and Mayor
Thompson
The police at once began arrange
ments for protecting workmen who
were ready to take cars out tomorrow
morning. All police furloughs were
recalled and all available men were
held at police stations ready for emer-
gency duty.
Leonard NJ Busby, president of the
Chicago surface lines, announced no
attempt would be made to run cars I'M
til Tuesday. Under the 1907 ordi-
nance the surface lines are not re-
quired to operate in a strike
The strike extends to Hammond,
East Chicago and Whiting, Ind.
Records of the transportation COM
panies show an average of three mil
lions persons depend on the lines for
daily transportation, of whom 2,4OO,-
OOU use the surface anu SIX
thousand the elevated lines.
The surface lines operate 1925 cars
daily and the elevated lines 1918.
Other concerns made arrangements
for motor car transportation.
The union plan of arbitration as sub
mitted last night would involve a di-
rect wage increase of more than three

THE proposition also requires the
company to accept certain specified
working conditions which would in
volve the payment of bonus time in ex-

MILLIONS In OlEO FRAUDS
Bio Dealers in Rhode Island to be
Prosecuted for Crookedness by
the Government.

Washington. June 15.-Oleomargar-
inc frauds that have cost the govern
ment more in lost taxes than the
whisky tax frauds-the whisky frauds
averaging two million dollars a year
for many years, it is said-have been
discovered by revenue agents, it was
learned today. 1t became known also
that the government already has re-
covered several hundred thousand dol
lars from fraudulent dealers in oleo-
margarine, in addition to the large
sums collected by court proceedings.
That means, it is said, in view of
the 100000 recently awarded the
government by the federal court at
Columbus, Ohio, in it's proceedings
against the Capital City Dairy Com
pany, and the additional 100000 be-
ing sought from the same concern
by the government, that the frauds
have run into many millions.
A revelation of the extent of the
fraud is promised when the govern
ment's cases against certain Rhode
Island dealers begin next week.

CUT SPEED TO SAVE MONEY
Lusitania's Captain Hlames Cunard
Company for Loss of vesseI-No
Guns on Board.

London, June 16.-Testifying today
at the official inquiry into the loss of
the Cunard liner Lusitania, Capt w.
T. Turner denied under oath that the
liner carried guns of any kind, either
as armament or freight He placed
the blame for the Lusitania's compare
lively slow speed on the Cunard Com
pany, his employers.
In his opening statement, Sid Ed
ward Carson, representing the govern
ment board or trade, remarked that
the question of speed would be i'm
portant. The Lusitania was going
eighteen knots, using only nineteen
out of its twenty-five boilers in con-
sequence of the decreased traffic, thus
saving quarter of its total coal con
sumption and a proportionate amount
of labor, he said.
Certain specific information was
sent by the British admiralty by wire
less telegraphy to the Lusitania, but
these instructions are not to be made
public and this part of the evidence is
to be taken in private.

WILSON NOTE BEARING FRUIT
Washington Officials Pleased with
Latest News from Mexico-AIarm
Growing in Capital.

Washington, June 15.-The United
States formally was notified today by
General Villa on behalf of the Mexi
can convention forces that he had tele-
graphed General Carranza urging
conference for the restoration OF
peace and constitutional government
in Mexico.
This step is the first tangible de-
velopment resulting from President
Wilson's recent warning to all Next
can factions that unless they come to
an agreement among themselves soon,
some other means will be employed
by the United States to relieve the
suffering population from further de-
vastations by the military element.
On General Carranza's reply depends
the next move in the situation.
Coincidentally the state department
was advised by Miss Mabel Boardman
of the American Red Cross, that the
Mexican authorities at Piedras Negras
had denied entry to a carload of food
stuffs consigned for the relief of peo-
pie in Monclova. Consul Blocker is
endeavoring to use his good offices to
arrange for the transportation of the
supplies. One report says General Ro-
salio Hernandez, the Villa commander,
declared the supplies mot only are
not needed, but will not be allowed to
enter" Until Consul Blocker reports
the details, the state department will
take no further action.
The announcement that General Viii
la had initiated a movement for peace
was received with satisfaction in Off
cia1 quarters. Enrique c. Llorente,
Washington representative of the
Villa-Zapata coalition, called on Secre-
tary of State Lansing, with a copy of
the Villa telegram to Carranza and a
long note from General Villa replying
to President Wilson's recent pro-
nouncement of policy.
The note referred appreciatively
to the presidents efforts and outlined
the purposes of the Villa-Zapata lead
ers to bring about a reconciliation
with those of Carranza.

Department Officials Believe
Sherman Statute Needs
Important Changes.
HARVESTER CASE TO DECIDE
If Supreme Court Rules Against the
Government Only Recourse Will
be Clayton Law.

Washington, June 16.-Reviewing
twenty-five years of trust prosecu-
ton and of interpretations by the fed
eral courts of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law, officials of the department
of justice today reached the conclu-
sion that the ultimate usefulness OF
that statute to regulate business
would be determined by the United
States Supreme Court probably within
the next few months.
4 long series of victories for the
government, for the most part in the
enforcement of the civil side of the
act, has been followed in the last few
months by several defeats, both in
minor courts and in the supreme court
So far as the civil section of the law
is concerned, the government looks
upon the suit to dissolve the Interna-
tiona1 Harvester Company as of the
utmost Importance. The principal
case involving the criminal end of the
Sherman Law now beforee the courts
is that against officers and directors
of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad.
If the Harvester suit finally is lost
it was admitted tonight the Shermana
Law will become virtually a dead let
ter and the government in the future
must depend upon the Clayton anti
trust act to curb unlawful practices
in business.
The refusal of the supreme court
yesterday to permit a review of the
reversal of the conviction of officers
of the National Cash Register Com
pany may have some influence on the
courts to be followed in the future in
respect to criminal actions.
At the department it was declared
that the governments attitude toward
business com binations had been mis-
understood since the recent decision
of the lower courts in the civil anti
trust suit against the United States
Steel Corporation. The department, it
was said, was not proceeding against
com binations because of their size
alone.

WON'T MEET STANDARD CUT
independent Oil Refners Decide Not
to Reduce the New Price of
Gasoline.

Tulsa, Ok, June 14-Practically
every independent refinery in Okla
homa and Kansas was represented at
n meeting Saturday of the Western
Petroleum Refiners for the purpose
of taking some action upon the price
cutting move of the Standard Oil Com
pany, which by some of the independ-
ents is regarded as a declaration of
war.
Twice last week the Standard Oil
Company cut gasoline until it is now
quoted in Kansas City at S.S cents
a gallon. Independent refiners say it
IS impossible for them to meet the
cuts and operate their plants at a
profit and further they say the enor-
nous increase in demand for gasoline
as tie result of the war in Europe
would legitimately warrant an increase
instead of a decrease in price. They
decided to stand pat as an organiza-
ton on their quoted prices.
Independent refiners are in complete
control of the mid-continent old field,
including the Gushing field with TWEEN
ty-four large plants in operation The
independent refiners throughout the
United States, it is said, were fast
gaining control of the markets of this
country.
The next move of the Standard Oil
Company the Independents believe
will be an increase in the price of
crude petroleum to be followed by a
further cut in refined products.
