BilliOnaires' Dinner
Rebuke to Him

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, is not a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for president in 1928, a state
ment issued by him today declares.
In making the statement, DR.. But
Ter pointed out that his recent re-
marks at a political gathering were
interpreted by a portion Of the press
and public to the effect that he was
seeking the nomination.
Bawled Out Coolidge.
Butler had stated that Coolidge was
too sensible to think he could win il

furthermore, if the republican party
won next time, it would have to have

ton, with Coolidge as the guest Of
honor. BY many this was taken as
a direct rebuke to Butler, and Butler
as though accepting it in that sense
now hastens to assure all and sundry
that he didn't mean to substitute him.
self for Coolidge.
Merely Private"
He asserts he set forth his opin-
ions merely as a private citizen and
that when he discussed Coolidge's
third term candidacy and prohibition
he had no inclination towards the nom
nation and does not propose to have
any such intention.
"For more than a generation we
have fallen into the habit of leaving
public discussion Of political principles
and policies almost exclusively to Of
fice-holders and candidates for office
The result is that when a private
citizen discusses public questions he
is almost certain to excite suspicion
that does so because of desire for
political preferment.
mot Fortunate"
"This is not fortunate circum-
stance. In my youthful days we
flocked to hear the discussion of pub
lie questions by men like Wendell
Phillips Henry Ward Beecher, Robert
G. Ingersoll and President Eliot Of
Harvard University without ever sus-
pecting that they were offering them
selves as candidates for governor
senator or president"

WALTER WARD IN
COURT TODAY BUT
MERELY BY PROXY
Millionaire Being Sued
For Killing Boy

Walter S. Ward, son of the multi
millionaire George S. Ward, president
of the Ward Bakery Company and
the American Dairy Products Com
pany, will not be in court today when
trial is held on a $4,000 damage suit
for the killing of Clarence Peters,
some five years ago in Westchester
County.
He will be away in far-off Cuba
living in his palatial residence at the
Country Club Park near Havana. He
will possibly not even think of it
while he is specializing as to which
will be the right horse to lay his bet
upon.
Sued For $4,000.
Meanwhile in far off New York City
there is the father of a murdered
victim suing him for $4,000 damages
for the loss of his son. The. amount
of the sum will not worry him, for he
plays that much any day when the
race track is within his reach, and
for an organ to be installed at his
palace, he spends the like amount.
No, it is not the sum which is keep
ing him a fugitive from justice but
the principle involved in the case.
For if the court recognizes the
damage suit then it becomes evidence
that Ward actually did kill Peters,
which fact could not be proven during
his trial for murder.
Fled From Suit.
This suit for damages was started
last May, but was not carried through
because Ward at that time "disap-
peared" and could not be served with
a notice to appear in court. How
ever, detectives trailed him from race
track to race track and have found
out now that Ward has become a
resident of Cuba and cannot be forced
to appear. His wife and brother have
been subpoenaed to come to court and
20 face the parents of the young
Wards victim.
Suit Goes On.
The prosecuting attorney stated
that irrespective Of the defendants
absence the trial will be held. He
also said that the very fact of Ward
not appearing in court would influ-
ence the jury against him and ex-
pressed confidence that the suit will
be won.

Lots of Graft Found
In New Jersey State
Troop Organization

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 13.-Whole-
sale graft among New Jerseys state
troopers, and their violation of disci-
pline through extortions is compell-
ing a rigid investigation into the con-
duct of the state police. According
10 reports seven state troopers were
dismissed, and another ten will be
reduced in their ranks.
An effort which had been made
some time ago to dismiss large nun.
bers of troopers resulted in the resig-
nation Of many others as protest
against the dismissals. However. the
facts that officers have been found
guilty of graft and extortion COM
pels the higher officers to continue
their investigation and to dismiss
many more.

CAPTAIN SENDS
CREW TO CHASE
VESSEL IN FOG
Lightly Clad Sailors
Row Around in Channel

LONDON, Feb 13.-The dense fog
which has blanketed the English
Channel for forty-eight hours has
enshrouded several sea dramas which
the official rescue service is now try
ing to elucidate.
From the viewpoint of tonnage the
most important accident was the col
lision early this morning between the
royal mail steamer Nebraska of S,263
tons and the admiralty steamer
Oleandor Of 7,045 tons.
Woman Life Saver.
They crashed off Dungess in
heavy fog. Both were severely dam
aged. A wireless call for help
brought out a life boat party who
were aided by a woman in launching
the rescue craft.
The life boat was at sea three hours
without finding a trace Of either yes
sci. In the meantime wireless mes
sages said the Nebraska was sailing
to London at reduced speed while
the Oleandor was also progressing
slowly with its hull leaking badly.

The Spanish ship was feeling her

|C oron a d o Forest
Report Shows Cost
100000 Per Year
For NJ Mainten nee

The Coronado National Forest
is a 100000 year business,
according to the governments
report for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1927.
At least the expenses Of the
forest amount to that much even
if the receipts fall below that.
Fires, most Of them started by
man, cost the forest the most of
any ore expense. If the forest
service is not actually suppress
ing fires, it is doing it's utmost
to prevent them. One fire, which
swept over 1000 acres in the
Catalina mountains last May
cost $500 to extinguish.
Another large operating ex-
pense is for grazing, seeing that
there is grass enough the year
around for the cattle and horses
permitted on the range. Pre-
vention and suppression of fires,
grazing and other operating ex-
penses cost in the Coronado for
est $4,000 year.
The other $4,000 is spent for
permanent improvements, such as
roads, trails and telephone lines.
Having a national forest in
side its borders is an excellent
advantage for airy county, as tie
forest turns over to the county
in cash 25 percent of all it's re-
ceipts. The Coronado forest col-
lected $4,000 last year and paid
$4,000 to the counties in which
the forest is situated. Through
out the state, national forests
paid the counties $51 ,OUO alto
gether.
Although it is called forest,
most of the receipts of the Coro-
nado national forest do not come
from trees, but from grazing.
Last year 2O6 permittees paid
$4,000 for grazing 36,540 head
Of cattle and horses. While the
Coronado ranges are not so fa-,
vorable for goats, one permittee
grazes 280 of them in the Rim
con mountains.
Timber sales and permits for
cabin sites netted the forest the
other $4,000 of income.
