DEMPSEY AGAIN
 ACCUSES KEARNS
Says Former Manager Forged
 His Name

Atlantic City, N. J.. Oct. 5 P- Jack kearns was charged with for 'gery by his former protege, Jack Dempsey, in chancery court today, after kearns had identified a con- tract as having been signed by Dempsey.
 Dempsey appeared before Vice Chancellor 1ngersoll to defend q rule to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. The appU- cation for the rule had been made by kearns previous to the cham pionship battle in the Sesqui-sta- dium.
 In August. 1923. said Dempsey, kearns visited him at Saratoga Springs telling him that he, kearns, had forged Dempsey's name to contract and that he had been caught by the New York state box ing commission, and feared criminal prosecution. Feeling sorry for kearns, Dempsey testified, he affix- ed his signature to a contract though, he testified, it was only in a spirit of friendship, and it was understood the contract was worth less and not binding.
 kearns introduced a letter writ ten to Dempsey in March of this year, in which he accused Dempsey Of having violated his contract, and in which he told Dempsey that he, hearns, was managing the future heavyweight champion of the world, Daryal
 You stated you would not have won the championship if you had not fighting qualities of which champions are made,' the letter read in part. True, but you know made you champion because through my efforts you got the chance to fight.
 T have waited as patiently as possible for you to come to your senses and realize the ungrateful- | ness of your actions, not to mention | he disastrous financial results. As my vocation is management of box ITS, l have been forced by your ac- ions to assume management of the 1eXt heavyweight champion, Ma ooleon Darval. If you continue champion you will be forced by pub lc sentiment to meet this man and 1e will take the title fro you. Put | pin in that and don't say I did lot advise you"
 A broad grin was on Dempsey's
 
 ace when the latter part of the let { CT was read before the court.
 Decision was reserved for three ' weeks to permit counsel to file briefs. {

19 STATES HAVE
 GOOD PARK LAND
Chain of State Grants Is
 Planned

Washington. Oct. P-A chain Ftt state parks to supplement the na- Sional parks is the aim of the Na-
 onal Conference on State Parks, Of
 hich John Barton Payne is presi-
 ant
 Such system of public play grounds is made possible under a
 ecent act of Congress permitting
 he states to acquire unreserved pup
 ic lands for this purpose.
 Mostly In West
 A survey made by the conference shows that nineteen states have such hands, the aggregate acreage being 1S5, 5,o0o,000 lying mainly west of the Mississippi River. Land is available, ! hoy ever. for parks in three southern statos, Alabama, Florida and Louis hama.
 The Joint Committee on Recrea- Rtional Survey of Federal Lands has made a study of specific tracts which possesses features of value for hocal purposes. It has picked out khus far SS units containing 2,600.- boo acres, of which S9 units. em- bra cling 1,590,000 acres, have been Withdrawn from other disposal by the General Land Office pending ac kion by the state concerned under khe new law. Proposed Sites Many recreational units have been | reported and officials of the Nation hl Conference declare that in Utah | particularly there Is beautiful, all most magnificent scenery in public 1omain.
 One suggestion advanced is that btate parks be established on the bites of the proposed Wonderland National Park In South Dakota and he proposed Roosevelt National Park In North Dakota. Congress 1as refused repeatedly to approve pills creating these additional na- onal parks.
 Officials of the National Con- erence assert that these could easily 'e liduc sldte pal hS' tolll pdldple to he Custer State Park In South Da- lota. to the Palisades Interstate, he Adirondack and Catskill State Parks in New York, and 10 the Red Sood State parks in California.

NORTHWEST FIGHTS
 BIG FOREST FIRES
Cost Reaches Thousands Of E Dollars Daily

Spokane, Oct. 5 P-Warfare en- gazing legions of fighters, costing thousands of dollars daily for it's maintenance and leaving in its wake losses Of millions, has been waged for weeks through the forests of western United States.
 The fight has continued on a hun dred fronts, with now and then a gain here or loss there. but with out the aid of the ally that would have decided the battle definitely a general heavy rainfall.
 Most Serious Since 1910 . The fire menace was more serious the last season than any time since the great fires of 1910 In the Pacific northwest, when vast areas Of valu- able timber were destroyed and a hundred lives were lost. Fatalities this year have been small in num- Der. although hundreds of acres Of timber lands have been burned over.
 Airplane patrols, field telephones and radio and an elaborate system of lookouts serve under ordinary cir cumstances to hold the fires in check. But when a general conf1a- grafton gets a start and blankets the countryside for miles with heavy pail of smoke, the patrols are unable to detect the smoke that tells of newly started fire.
 Glasses of Fires
 Forest fires are generally of three classes-ground or brush fires, trunk fires and crown fires. The former creep over the ground, burning the low growth. They may do little damage to merchanta ble timber, ex cept to kill certain species of trees. Greater loss oftimes is to the young ceeding forest crop. Trunk fires burn along the ground and in addi- tion run up the tree trunks, burn ing them so as to make the trees useless for commercial purposes. Crown fires are those that sweep through the tops of the trees, jump ing for hundreds Of yards at a

 The giant flames throw spot fires far and wide, fragments of flaming trees being carried skyward by the terrific heat and cast ahead in the path of the flames as far as six miles.
 To contest the advance of ground or brush fires. gasoline pumps, wet gunny-sacks or blankets are employ ed and the system of trenching is used. In fighting a trunk or crown fire that is burning from tree to tree above the ground, back-frlng sometimes Is resorted to. Unless the winds continue favorable and blow the flames toward the main fire, the ba ack-fre may soon break bounds and offer as great danger and diff cultv as the one 1t was intended to halt.
