FIRES THREATEN TO
TO DESTROY REDWOODS
Were Thought Under Control,
But Break Away, TeIe-
phone Poles Burning

San Jose, Cal, Sept. 13-The forest
fire has crossed the gulches in the Santa
Cruz mountains and is sweeping up the
hills on the other side, according to a
telephone call received here at noon to-
day from the Letcher ranch. At that
time, it was stated that the telephone
poles were burning, and anticipating
that this would be the last message they
would be able to get through, the fire
fighters appealed for more assistance,
and asked for provisions to last three or
four days.
Telephone advices from the fire zone
this afternoon showed that the fire is
steadily growing worse. Clarence H.
Letcher, one of the men whose prop
erty is endangered, appealed to Charles
Deering to urge Governor johnson or
the state fire warden to rush aid to the
weary fire fighters declaring that, un-
less this is done, the magnificent red.
wood forests in the Big Basin will be
doomed
The telephone company today ordered
men out to patrol its lines in the fire
district and to prevent the destruction
of poles and the consequent cutting off
OF communication.

Thought Fire Controlled

San Jose, Cal, Sept. 13.-The famous
redwoods of the Big Basin-$l5, ,O00,-
600 worth of virgin timber-are be-
lieved to have been saved from the fire
which has swept the slopes of the Santa
Cruz mountains for three days.
Early today little band of men,
wearied by so hours of almost uninter-
rupted fire fighting made desperate
and apparently successful stand against
the flames which since Sunday have
been burning over miles of brush to-
wards the heavily wooded ridge which
runs like a powder train towards the
edge of the great redwood forest. They
believe the fight has been won.
ehbm surface indications the fire
does not appear to be serious. Only a
little cloud of smoke in the canyons.
There is no great leaping of flames
such as is seen in pine forest fires.
But the underground at all danger
points is a roaring furnace and veter-
an forest fire fighters say it is the
most dangerous and hardest fire to
handle in many years.

TO SPRING SURPRISE
IN BILLINGS CASE
Defense Says Something Is
to Drop Soon Little Evi-
dence To Date

San Francisco, Sept. 13.- Surprises
may be sprung within the next few
days by the defense in the trial of
Warren X. Billings on charge of ex-
ploding the fatal bomb which killed
ten persons in the preparedness parade
July %.
Attorney McNutt is the only man
authorized to speak ON the matter and
he refused to divulge the nature of the
coming events but Frederic Schulberg,
one of the defense leaders, said:
Something is going to drop soon.
There is much under the surface of
this case that has not yet appeared"
Prosecution witnesses will be used by
the defense in an effort to show that
persons in the crowd at Steuart and
Market streets could not have seen
any "suitcase bomb planted there on
July % when ten persons were killed
at that spot.
The plan was shown when Charles
Moss, state witness, testified that he
was standing at that corner when the
explosion occurred that he heard the
report of the bomb and saw smoke
coming from the point where the
bomb exploded. He also identified
pieces of metal as particles found by
him after the explosion. When De-
fense Attorney McNutt questioned him,
however. he admitted that the crowd
was so dense at that point that it was
impossible for persons in the front
ranks of the throng to observe a man
plant a suitcase in the rear.
The expected controversy over the
introduction of pieces of bomb as evi-
dence that a bomb exploded failed to
materialize today. Deputy District
Attorney Brennan introduced bits of
metal only as part of the evidence in
establishing the corpus deficit. Later
he will attempt to prove that bomb
was actually exploded and that these
pieces of metal are parts of that bomb.
Most of this mornings session was
devoted to testimony of souvenir hunt
ers who, after the explosion, picked up
fragments of steel and iron.

Transactions Heavy
and Prices Higher

New York, Sept. 13.-The New York
Evening Sun financial agent today
says:
Transactions today again were in
heavy volume, with wide inquiry from
the public for all the prominent issues,
the market exhibiting the same great
capacity for taking stocks which has
marked its course in recent days. Street
sentiment on the whole was bullish.
Commission houses reported new buy
ing orders from out of town sources, es.
pecially for the metal and motor issues,
the latter coming into greater prom
inence in the dealings than at any
time since the present forward market
started.
Advancing market values did not ac-
company any particular new develop
ment in conditions underlying the pres
ent demand for stocks but reports from
the iron and steel trades and from the
copper metal industry continued to ia.

Wall street sees no immediate pros
poets of large expansion in the deal
ings in the railroad stocks but it finds
in the reports of earnings by the va
rious companies and in the freight car
shortage adequate reason for bullishness
over the country's industries, the ex-
pansion of which is measured by trans
portation receipts and bank clearings

Students May Help.

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 13.-Students
from the Stanford university will be
called upon to fight the forest fire in
the Santa Cruz mountains, if Professor
Charles b. Wing, chairman of the Cali
fornia redwood park commission finds
it necessary, according to J. w. Moody
of the state forester's office.
State Forester j. D. Taylor was called
to Sonoma county late last night to di-
rect the fight against three bad fires
there, one near Duncan Mills and the
others north and east of Healdsburg.
Moody said that he had Informed
Professor Wing at Stanford of the re-
ports on the Santa Cruz fire made, by j.
A. Mighall, fire warden for that dis
trict, and Charles j.. Deering of San
Francisco, whoe ranch is threatened.
At noon Professor Wing left Stan
ford to make personal investigation
of the fire, after telling 30 of the stu
dents to be in readiness to rush to the
scene if their services were needed.
According to telephone reports 1
received at noon today, the fire has not
yet reachetd the real serious stage,'
said Moody.
at is now burning along the ridge,
and 90 fresh men ought to be able to
get it under control by nightfall
"The danger lies in an east wind
springing up and carrying the flames
over the ridge into the thick timber.
Then it would be a tuogh fire to fight.
The trouble now is that the men on the
scene are worn out with two days fire
fighting.''
No request for aid through the state
troops has yet been received by Gov
ernor johnson.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
"A SPLENDID SHAMPOO
4 4 4 y 4 X 4 x i: 4 4: x 4 i. =

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes tle hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil { which is pure and entire
ly greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can u possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teasp0onfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and it leaves it fine and SILKY,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
