WILD GAME MENACED
BY FOREST FIRES
tBy Associated Press,

Washington, Aug. 22-Of in
terest in connection with many
reports of destructive forest fires
/ in several sections Of the country,
is circular of the Biological Sur
vey Of the u. s. Department of
Agriculture, stressihg the effect
of such fires on game and game
preservation. A fire which RACES
over any large area destroys not
only the birds and other game
themselves, but their food and
shelter; and though one take lit
tie interest in forest fire preven-
ton for the sake OF preserving
the trees, he tnay be more inter
ested in saving game and fish.
Decrease Of one or both OF the
elements of foods and shelter
means corresponding decrease
in the number of valuable wild
creatures. The belief that burn
ng over in certin localities is ben
eficial because it provides new
grass ignores the fact that the
grass thus obtained does not
compensate for the destruction OF
the trees and shelter and food re-
quired by the animals, says the
Survey. Partridges i'll particular
suffer from forest or brush fires
When their favorite places are
i.burned over and their food and
shelter are gone they are Obliged
to seek new localities. and=facc

 Frank Williams claimed ownership of the guns after the seizure. He declared he had purchased a number of guns through the Auto Ordnance Company and stored them in a ware house. He said they had been stolen from the warehouse and asserted he did not know how they got on the ship
 Rorke later was arrested and was released on S3,0O0 bail. He is said to have admitted that he sold the guns to a group of strange men.
 The indictments were returned by the January Federal grand jury, which concluded it's work in April.
 Information concerning the indict- ments was withheld, it was indicated because of the inability to reach some of those indicted.
 Several of the indicted persons were expected to enter pleas in New ark today.
 The technical indictment against the men as a body charged them with conspiracy to set on foot and provide the means for military enterprise to be carried on against the territory os a foreign province with whom the United States was at peace.

Homer S. Cum mings who had the complaint against them of robbery with violence" citing that they with violence on May 24th feloniously rob- bed, stole, and carried away $13,0OO belonging to the Connecticut Com pany.
 When called upon to answer the charges preferred against them At torneys Lavery and Mara answered for Kiviatt and Becker, who were un- der age and Kraut pleaded guilty:
 A brief summary of the happenings of the day of the robbery and of the occurrepces incidental to it. were cited by Cummings who told of how the three men in company with Ser atoff had been given advanced lntor- nation as to the usual route over which the money used for the payroll of the Connecticut company was car ried how the trio met Dunn and Tlb> bals and assaulted them.
 The weapons used were introduced into the court. The way in which the robbery was consummated and of the subsequent shooting of Serato off by Dunn and of the escape of the bandits was told by Cummings. He then told of the attempt of the three to leave the stolen money at an East Side home where they rang a door bell and being told that party by the name of Friedman for whom they inquired did not live there de- posted the money on a Veranda, making away towards StratfOrd.
 The abandonment of the automo- bile by Becker and Kiviatt, and later by Kraut, leaving Seratoff who was by that time dead and of their suibse- quent caCture, was also told Judge MaItbie by Attorney Cummings.
 Attorney Hugh J. Lavery was the first to appear in behalf of one of the accused. Lavery told of the coming to this country of Kiviatt when he was but five years of age and of the continued low environment which he had, of his struggle to eke out an existence and of the contraction of that dread disease, tuberculosis. He told of the various sanitoriums to which his client had been committed and of the consequences that his con dnement to prison would mean. A very strong plea for clemency was made by Attorney Lavery stating that in view of the age and condition of his clients health a sentence to q reformatory might be the better way to administer punishment than by sending him to prison.
 Attorney Charles Weingarten, ap- bearing for Kraut, asked for leniency on the part of the court, stating that the defendant had had "a hard time of it all through life," and that in spite of all this, he had led an exemplary life.
 The defendant, he said, had spent seventeen months in the service of this country during the recent war, +-0'--e. of --lo '~'o -r>a74 i-7 F7ra r7-r

 John McGovern were detailed to the scene. Assistant Superintendent Flood arrived soon after. When the police arrived, Patrolmen Henkel and Matera were already on the scene, having been called by Coftis.
 A minute investigation of the house and the occupants of the building failed to disclose any information as to whom the murderer might be. Col tis told of arriving and finding all the doors locked and how the murderer made his get away after committing the gruesome crime is unknown.
 Loud Cries Heard.
 There were absolutely no blood stains which are generally discovered after a crime of such violence, and any clues, other than that loud cries were heard during the night have not been discovered. Both of the front entrances to the house were locked and the back door which leads to the rear of the Lyric theatre was also closed. All the windows in the house were locked from the inside.
 Robert Gibson, a roomer in the block, was questioned by the police and he stated that he spent the day in New York with his people and arrived home at about one o'clock.
 George McClean, a rOomer told the police that he arrived home about .12:45 and that a short time afterward he heard Gibson enter the house and proceed to his room.

 were the vogue, he paid but little attention to it.
 Mrs. Northrop's home was raided on the night of May 29. by members of the Bureau of Investigation and the dead woman was at that time ar rested. on a charge of keeping house of disrepute.
