Washington, July 15.-With the
opening of the season of fire danger
on most of the national forests, the
forest service is sending broadcast a
warning that more than half OF the
forest fires in the United States are
due to carelessness or other prevent
able causes. starting from campers,
railroad locomotives, brush burning,
incendiaries, and sawmills.
This statement is based on an an
alysis of statistics compiled from the
forest fire records of the last sea-
son. when more than 1000 fires were
reported on national forests alone and
approximately 10000 on state and
private holdings in the eighteen
states which received federal coop
Grafton in fire protection under the
Weeks law, namely, Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
lngton and oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions Of dol
lars worth Of timber and other prop
erty every year, and in some years
cause considerable loss Of life. II
has been estimated from the best In
formation obtainable that fores
fires last year burned over an ares
of approximately 100000 acres will
a total loss Of at least $9,5OO,OOO.

Mr.. Marioneaux discussed at length
the letters from Mrs. Geddes, which
have been produced as evidence In
the case. He said they were writ
tn by her as they were to put his
family off the track, but that now and
then she forgot herself and addressed
him as a woman would her husband.
In proof of this contention he read
certain passages from several o. the
letters, in VIII CHI somewhat endeaHng
terms were used. He said that II
was unfortunate that the claim Of
the plural marriage was not to be
considered in the returning of the
verdict, that this was unfortunate
for his first and second wives and
their children that the world might
not say chat David Eccles was not
