My Dear Sir:
We, the officers and members Of
Bethel Literary Society, take this op-
portunity to tender you our most CRATE
full thanks for having sent to US Rev.
W. D. Cook, DID. He has rendered US
valuable service, spiritu, lily and fnan-
cially. We do not think there has been
time in the history of Bethel Church
that more harmony has existed in all
departments of the church than under
his administration. He enjoys the repu-
tation, by all who know him, as being
an upright, God-fearing man. We do
not presume to advise you, but we pray
of you to send him back to us. Thank.
ing you in advance, we are most respect
fully yours.

BLAME LAX RULE OF NEGROES
FOR HOUSTON RIOT.
Citizens Board Urges the ousting of
Chief Of Police.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 14.-(Speeial.)-
Completing an inquiry into the causes of
the recent Negro soldier riot which cost
the lives of fifteen citizens of Houston,
the citizens board filed its report with
the city council late today.
The report covers practically every
phase of the recent trouble and deals
with the police situation in Houston.
Chief among the recommendations made
is that regarding Supt. of Police C. L.
Brock.
"For Mr.. Brock as an individual we
have the highest regard" the report
says, "and it is no reflection on his
personal character to say that in our
opinion he is not qualified for the posi-
tion he holds, a position the duties and
responsibilities of which will become
more important and grave when Camp
Logan is occupied. His course towards
Officer Sparks shows his inability to en-
force discipline in difficult eases; his
course on the night of the riot shows
that he is not a safe leader in an emer-
gency."
Arrests Precipitated Riot
The committee is of the opinion that
the riot undoubtedly was precipitated
by two arrests of Negroes made by Off
Ger Sparks, although sufficient evidence
was presented at the hearing to reveal
the fact that serious disturbance was
intended by some of the Negro soldiers
before leaving Houston and the arrests
referred to simply brought it to head
sooner and perhaps intensified the
crimes which followed.
Continuing, the committee says that
the undisputed and convincing testi-
mony of witnesses prove that the Negro
soldiers went forth to slay the white
population indiscriminately, that no one
Negro was hurt or molested by them,
not one Negro's home was fired into,
and that the Negroes were warned be-
fore and during the riot to stay off the
streets.

Springerville, Ariz., April 15,

Springerville, Ariz., April 15, 1917 This appeal is addressed to stock men, farmers, campers, hunters and fishermen who reside on or near the Apache National Forest and who use the Forest for business or recreation al purposes.
 With the coming of the hot, dry summer season, the danger from for est fires is acute. In order to reduce th;s danger to a minimum, the For est Service must have the hearty CO., operation of all Forest users. Please bear in mind that not only are local interests benefited by forest protec- tion, but also, that the success of farming communities, such as those at St. Johns and in the Gila, Fricso, and Salt River Valleys, are depend ent upon the regulation of stream flow, resulting from well protected streams.
 Protected forests increase in value, mean more funds for schools and roads, insure the prosperity of stock and timber industries and furnish en- rloyment for a large number of men. Maj erial assistance may be rendered by extinguishing any fires which are noticed, by reporting such fires to Forest Officers and using care with camp and branding fires.
 Cooperation of this sort will he much appreciated by the Forest Scr vice.

 Forest Supervisor.
