Seattle, Wash, July IT P-Fires which have destroyed thousands ot acres of Pacific northwest forests 1T the last week and taken 12 lives to. day continued to sweep virgin stands of timber In eastern Washington Montana and Idaho.
 Most blazes In western Washing. ton and British Columbia were re- ported under control.
 The United States army has been called upon to combat blazes in the Kiniksu national forest, in eastern Washington, 1t was reported from Spokane. Prediction was made by officials at Missolula. Montana, that one-fourth of the Kanisku forest which covers 657,5o0 acres, would be razed if rain did not come soon.

Shipping Board Rules No Federal Statute Em- powers Captains to Tie Nuptial Knots and Un- less State of Ships Registry Does Status of Ceremony Is Dubious.

Washington, July r CO - The validity of scores of marriage cere- monies performed in the romantic setting of an ocean liners bridge by masters of American merchant ves- sels was in question today as the result of an opinion by the legal department of the shipping board that no federal statute empowers captains to conduct such cere- monies.
 Bombshell for Romance The board notified masters of its vessels that a marriage performed by any one of them would have no more validity than if 1t had been performed by an ordinary passen- ger" unless the laws of the state in which the vessel Is documented lists ship masters among those au- thorized to preside at such cere- monies.
 The opinion, handed down by Judge Chauncey G. Parker, general counsel, grew out of request from I4AC oNhllS uCpcil lIlICllI " HUH lldu It- ceived an inquiry from a foreign government as to the validity of such marriage under American law. Two nationals of thee ountry had been married at sea aboard shipping board vessel by the cap- tain. The name of the couple, the ship and the country making the inquiry were not made public.
 Hartley Weds Many
 The opinion recalled that many persons recently have sought the bridge of an ocean liner for their wedding, with the captain perform ing the ceremonies. Prominent among the marrying shippers" have been Captain Herbert Hartley of the Leviathan and Captain George Fried of the President Roosevelt, the latter especially after his heroic rescue of the crew of laundering British freighter in an Atlantic storm. Among nota- ble weddings performed by Captain Hartley have been those of H. c. (Bud) Fisher, cartoonist, to Coun. tess Beaumont, and Nora Bayes comedienne, to Benjamin Lester trldland. New York city is the home port of both vessels.
 No Definite Opinion
 Judge Parker expressed no view as to the validity of marriages al- ready performed but, in view of the great uncertainty as to what state laws may provide, the board di- rected the Emergency Fleet cor poration to notify all officers of tis vessels that they were without le- gal powers under American federal law to perform marriage cere- 
 The legal department of the board has made no attempt toasur- vey state statutes on the matter.
 Shipping board circles except that masters of privately owned merchant craft will be notified ! promptly by their owners of the | boards action, although no steps | have been taken, so far as could ! be learned, to seek a further opin- ! ion from the department of justice 1 or to call the situation to the at | tention of the commerce depart ment or any other governmental | agency. There was nothing to indi- cate that the board expected to 20 beyond the instructions issued to ts own officers and the publication of the fact that such instructions mad been issued.
