(By Leased Wire To The Ags.Herald.J )

(By Leased Wire To The Age-HeEald.) ]
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-Defy- ing the efforts of hundreds of fighters, menacing forests and many towns and farms. forest fires are raging in muner- ons sections of California Friday night famed by strong winds fires that had been thought to be under control were sweeping through the vast stands of timber, while new fires were being re- ported hourly.
 The situation is declared by forest officials to be the most serious ill the history of the state.
 Raging 60 miles north of Los An geles, fire in the Santa Barbara na- tional forest was beyond all control, licking up large stands of timber and many ranch homes that lay in its path.
 S1O,OOO, ,OOO Already Gone
 In Shasta county in northern Califor- mia, flaming inferno was sweeping over the Montgomery creek district. More than 300 state and federal rang CTS, aided by employees of lumber camps were desperately fighting the flames which have already destroyed more than $10,000, 900 worth of timber.
 So intense was the fire and so high the wind that sparks were said to be dropping twenty miles away from the fires.
 In the Sequoia national forest, more than 700 men were being driven back on a 2S-mile front by fire that has been raging beyond all control for the past four days, while in the Tahoe national forest, another famed Califor- mia beauty spot, a new fire was roar ing through the mountains near Dead wood, Placer county. The district has been closed to all save those bearing special passes. Here some of the most valuable timber in the state is now blackened charred ruins
 The little village of Calpine, Sierra county, breathed easier Friday, all though residents were still packed ready to desert their homes. A fire which had raced through Yuba Pass, just above Calpine, was reported to have been checked within two miles of that town.
 Greatest Menace
 Declaring the fire menace was the greatest in the history of the state, United States Forester Paul G. Red ington, sent here from Washington, b. C., because of the emergency, ordered late Friday the closing of more than 100000 acres of national forests to campers. An additional 100000 acres will be closed soon, Redington also declared.
 Although no complete checks have been made as yet of losses, through the fires, which have been raging almost continuously for month, Redington announced that more than 700 fires had been reported. At this point in the fire season, 160 have been the aver age figure in past years, Redington said. He called attention to the fact that the most serious fire months were still to come,

MORE FUNDS ARE MISSING IS CHARGE Additional $5,969.39 Is Re- ported Unaccounted
 For M'LENDON ORDERS A SWEEPING AUDIT Total Of More Than $13,- 900 Of Public Improve

 Of Present Officials
CALL FORMAL MOVE
 SATURDAY MORNING

W. H. Glasgow, former head of the public improvement department of city hall, was arrested Friday eve ming on charges of embezzlement, after an additional shortage of $b,- 969.39 in the department had been reported to Commission President D. E. McLendon by City Comp troller c. E. Armstrong.
 Later in the evening, Glasgow was released fro mthe city jail un- der $7,500 bond.
 Fridays revelations brought the total shortage to slightly more than S13,OOO, and President McLendon expressed fear that still further discrepancies would shortly be dis covered.
 w. l.. Lehman, former depart nent clerk, who confessed to en1- bezzlement of $4,900 of the first shortage, is now serving sentence prison. Glasgow was indicted by the grand jury ten days ago, but had been at liberty under a nominal bond.
 Armstrong's report to the commis- sion head was followed by a hurried conference of commission members, at which it was decided to immediately or der sweeping audit of the books, dating back to the time the present administration took office. Formal ac- tion will be taken Saturday morning at o'clock, with indications that a committee of leading local bankers will be asked to name the auditor. This is in line with recommendations of the grand jury.
 Taken In Custody.
 Detectives Hubbard and Riley took Glasgow into custody on orders of Po- lice Chief McDuff.
 T have no statement to make to- night" Glasgow said.
 In order to arrive at the total short age, President McLendon said, it prob ably will be necessary to summons all property owners who have paid im- provement assessments within the past three years. There is no entry of the missing amounts, which has made a thorough audit extremely difficult.
 Every step necessary to get at the whole truth, once and for all, will De SWlIuJ lHkeHs McLenQOu QeclarSQ. This view was expressed by Commis- sioners W. l.. Harrison and W. E. Dickson, who attended the conference that followed Comptroller Armstrong's report.
 Shortage Discovered
 The new shortage came to light when a representative of the Birmingham Electric company called at city hall to pay an improvement assessment for the company. A department clerk called attention to the fact that an old as- sessment, due in July, 1923, was not credited.
 Company officials quickly. broug4 forward a voucher showing the assess ment had been paid, along with another assessment for $S7O. The latter amount was credited on the books but there was no record of the $5,969.39 payment.
 The street car company's vouchers showed that the $5,969.39 and the $S70 payments had been made on the same date. Glasgow's name was signed to
