Jewell, head of the railroad em- ployes' department of the American Federation of Labor, issued state ment disclaiming any further respon- sibility for continuation of the strike and holding the roads and the labor board to blame for the length of time the -wallsout continued.
 Chairman Hooper of the labor buard issued an informal statement in which he asserted that "the only feasible way for the shopcrafts' organization to end the strike was to follow in the footsteps of the maintenance of way organization, whose officers this week appeared before the board and agreed to postpone their strike pending fur ther negotiations.

Eyewitness States
 Silvas Not Present
 at Scene of Murder

NOGALES. sAriz., July 7.-What is regarded as the. most. favorable de fense testimony yet presented in the trial of Placido Silvas, accused of the murder of Mrs. J. Frank Pearson, was given today by Miss Elizabeth Purcell of Liberty Hill. Texas, a sister of Mrs Pearson. Miss Purcell was present when her sister and the latter's hus- band. postmaster of Ruby Ariz., were shot to death by bandits last August.
 The witness, a 23-year-old school teacher, testifying in behalf of Silvas, declares it was Manuel Martinez who fired at her. Martinez is to be hang ed in the state penitentiary next month for his part in the crime. Miss Purcell described the bandit who at tackled her sister as "a tall, slender man with a moustache." She said she had a clear picture of all the bandits and did not see Silvas among them.
 Silvas, who already has been sen tenced to life Imprisonment. for the killing of Postmaster Pearson, took the stand late today in his own de- fense and declared he took no part in the raid. He formerly worked in the Globe-Miami mining district and for the Sherwood Copper company near Tucson.

VICTORIA, B. C., July 7.-After wiping out a third of the Merville soldiers camp and destroying many houses in SayWard last night, forest fires raging in many parts of Van couver Island today had cut off Nanaimo's water supply, menaced district and were threatening to wreak enormous damage in many districts.
 Premier John Oliver sped up the island by motorcar today to super intend the government relief work in the areas swept by fire.
 The provincial fire warden esti- mates the damage to standing timber so far at $1,250,000. Airplanes are being used by the forestry depart ment to ship supplies to the fire fighters.
 SPOKANE, Wash, July " With more favorable weather conditions in Washington today. firefighters were in many cases, able to hold their own with flames that are eating into green timber or threatening valuable
 
 instances, to bring the blaZes under control.
 Decrease in the velocity of the winds that yesterday were flaming the flames, enabled fighters to get control of fire on Rocky Creek in Stevens county, which was nearing the town of Alladin. This was de clared to be the worst fire in this part of the state.
 Clouds gave some slight hope of rain, although the federal weather bureau here was unable to make any definite promises of relief from the drought of weeks that has made the forests tinder-dry. Wind conditions in western Washington, although they were not reported as favorable as in the eastern part of the state, also assisted the firefighters, though several bad fires continue there.
