1000 men BATTLING
Two FOREST FIRES
NEAR FALMOUTH

Falmouth, Mass, May 13.-R. -
Two forest fires were raging uncon-
trolled in the Hatchville section to-
night and a thousand men were
fighting them. The coastguard sta
ton at Woods Hole, on the south
west elbow of Cape Cod. drafted
every available man to help in
checking the flames, and four of
them were overcome by smoke.
The first fire started yesterday af-
ternoon on the Brick Kiln" road
from, West Falmouth to Hatchville.
A strong wind swept it toward North
Falmouth today. and only strenuous
efforts saved two summer camps
from destruction. At last reports
the fire had burned 200 acres of pine
and oak timber and was half a mile
from Hatchville.
The other blaze started early today
on the Hatchville- North Falmouth
road a mile and half from Hatch
vile. The north wind frustrated
hopes that the fires would meet
head-on and each was burning
flercely in a different direction. The
second fire by tonight had burned 15O
acres of standing pine and oak. The
volunteers at both fires included men
from Onset, Sandwich, Bourne and
Falmouth. Word came from Ply
mouth, % miles away. that the smoke
was plainly visible there.
Seven miles across Vineyard Sound
on Martha's Vineyard a less serious
fire burned all day and was brought
under control late in the afternoon
1t started on the south shore of the
island at katamanka, near Edger-
town, and spread rapidly westward
jumping the Edgartown-West Tis-
bury turnpike. The Vineyard Haven
fire department responded to a gen.
eral alarm and aided fighters from
Edgartown. No valuable timber was
destroyed, the burned area, known
as the Edkartown Plains, comprising
mostly scrub oak

The forest fires which have beset

Sheet Beneath Original.
Rv the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 13.
Without emotion, and apparently
without remorse, Edward w. Love
lace, 35, described to police how he
had killed his brother-in-law. Everett
Heath, 90. Waynesburg, KY, and
then threw the body into the river.
Heath's body with the legs tied to-
gether, and with a heavy stone tied
to the neck. was found partly sub
merged in the Ohio River near here
Wednesday.
Lovelace. before his arrest, had
written a confession on pad Of paper.
Afterward. realizing apparently that
it might aid materially in having the
crime fastened upon him he destroyed
the document.
However, he failed to destroy the
pad itself. Detectives discovered the
pad when they searched his home
and noticed the imprint of words left
by a pencil.
Using a few words deciphered from
the tablet imprint police traced the
crime to Lovelace, who had identified
Heath's body and had been held for
questioning.
The imprint of the confession was
shown to Lovelace. who, after several
denials. admitted the Staying. He told
police he killed Heath in October
during a quarrel while the two were
fishing After sinking the body in the
river, he said. he went home and
wrote n confession. Later fearing the
consequences of his act he destroyed
the paper and sought to conceal the
shaving.

this evening to welcome the public
to the meeting arranged by the club
in support Of the movement to obtain
representation for the people Of the
District In Congress and in the cleo
toral college.
While the voteless inhabitants of
the Capital are listening directly to
the speakers in the auditorium, the
pea for suffrage also will be going
through space to thousands Of radio
sets, both IN Washington and beyond
BY being able to broadcast the pro
gram the City Club hopes to awaken
voting Americans in the States to
realization of the fact that 100000 OF
their fellow citizens in Washington
have no representatives in the Syn
ate and House and take no part In
the election of President and Vice
President.
Residents Urged to Attend.
Officers of the club are urging Dis
trict residents who can do SO to attend
the meeting. The memberships of the
trade bodies and civic organizations
have been invited, but the meeting
also will be open to other individual
Washingtonians.
Beginning at Z o'clock the Army
Band will give a brief concert. after

object of the gathering and introduce
the speakers. The speakers will be
Edwin c.. Brandenburg. Charles ".
Darr, Mrs. Anna f. Hendley, Edward
+. McGrady and John j. Deviny.
The program Is to be broadcast by
WRC of this city, which will be linked
in with WIZ of New York. These
two stations will reach a wide area of
the United States, carrying the appeal
of the voteless District citizen to a
countless number Of people.
Coming as 1t will within two weeks
of national election day, when all
other Americans exercise their right
to go to the polls. officials Of the City
Club believe the appeal Of the District
resident for the franchise will impress
itself forcefully on the minds of those
outside the city who listen in tonight.
In arranging for the meeting those
in charge have emphasized that the
proposal for national representation
does not contemplate relinQuishing of
control by Congress over the seat Of
Government, but would give the in
habitants of the District spokesmen
in the Senate and House, where local
laws are framed, and the same voice
in the election Of President and Vice
President enjoyed by the rest Of the
country.
