GRIZZLY BEAR Is SEEN
GOING WAY OF BUFFALO

BY the Associated Press.
The grizzly bear, mighty monarch OF
the Rocky Mountains, is going the way
of the Buffalo.
The Forest Service, after its annual
census of big game, today estimated the
grizzly population in continental ma
tional forests at 664 compared with TAT
the year before.
They have decreased so rapidly that
in several Western States the service
believes extinction of the species seems
near" In Montana, their chief strong
hold, they number only 421.
In Alaska, though, they continue to
thrive. There the service estimated
that the population of grizzlies and the
big Alaska brown bear increased from
5000 to 4.500 from 1881 to 1892.
Big game generally showed a de-
crease in the l48 national forests. The
census for 1881 showed an aggregate OF
1.175.955 game animals, that for last
year 1.163,14
Deer also decreased from 969330 In
1881 to 946.546 last year; antelope,
brown and black bears, elk and moose
increased

"A. A. A. REPORTS
ROAD CONDITIONS
Crane and Defense Highways
BIockaded Following Loss
of Bridge.

Deluged with the greatest number ol
road condition queries in its history
the American Automobile Association
headquarters here is rapidly pushing its
survey of highways in the storm area to
determine those which are blocked and
those which are passable
At noon today, the association an
nounced all roads leading South-to-
ward Richmond-and Westward throug,,
the Valley of Virginia are in good con-
dition.
Road difficulties, however, center
about Southern Maryland, Annapolis
approaches and the territory north of
Baltimore.
Harry D. Williar. jr., chief engineer
of the Maryland Roads Commission at
Baltimore, said that automobile traffic
in and out of Ocean City. Md, should
be restored to normal by sunset.
He said loosened piles in the wooden
bridge we're being repaired and the
water over the approaches had sub
sided.
He advised motorists to take United
States route ll3, through Delaware and
to Berlin, Md. avoiding Salisbury.
Because of the washout of Priests
Bridge, both Crane and Defense High
ways are blockaded and the only route
still open to Annapolis andy way OF
the Chesapeake Bay ferries from the
Maryland captial-to the Eastern Shore
is by way of Laurel, Savage, Camp
Meade and Millerville.
The Annapolis Claiborne and the
Annapolis -Matapeake ferries are back
on their runs and practically all Eastern
ShCre highways are paSSable. In some
instances. temporary bridges are in use,
as they are on many roads in other
sections which are considered pass
able"
Hills Bridge on the other side OF
Marlboro still was under water at noon
today, the Maryland State Roads Com
mission reporting receding OF but 3
inches since early morning. The bridge
still is in place and the roads commits
sion trucks are hauling emergency
automobiles across. The State authori-
ties strongly urge that no cars attempt
to cross the bridge, since the water
tops passenger car seats.
The road to Leonardtown, Md, is
open, zut its side roads are bad.
Late reports to the American Auto
mobile Association indicate a serious
condition in Eastern Pennsylvania and
Western New Jersey, where waters are
rising rapidly The bridge at Milford,
N. j., was swept off its abutmentS and
carried intact down the Delaware River.
1t now is feared that this structure
will carry away other bridges as it tears
along.
High water has severed direct high
way communication between Baltimore
and Lancaster, PottstoWn and Reading.

N. R. A.
The arguing as to whether Industrial

labor to take that means of expressing
itself from time to time.
The main factor in that situation is

Davis Wrote Debt Reply.
1t is an open secret at the State De-

tary Hull. In turn, Hull gave it to

came as a genuine surprise This is es-
pecially true because, just before leav-
ing the White House last Saturday for
his second vacation visit here, the
President said he hoped to dispose of
the matter before getting back. In ad-

to confer here with Postmaster Gen

Some of those close to the President
who are advocates Of the one-man rule
for Washington and other reforms in
the local government, are inclined to
think that the broad, dictatorial powers
granted to the Executive at the last
session Of Congress probably give him
authority to bring about some Of these
proposed changes by executive order
without waiting the passing of specific
legislation by Congress. The President
himself is not known to be Of this
opinion. At least he has never ex-
pressed himself to the extent OF giving
such an impression. Moreover, there
are others among his associates who
contend that nasmuch as the local
government vas created by an organic
act OF Congress it will take congress
sional action to charge this system and
effect the changes prop sed

Betting Roosevelt Will
Boost Prices.

railroad company.
The idea is to stock to the limit at
existing marketing prices. In effect,
this firm is betting its life that Mr..
Roosevelt will boost prices, either
through initiation or some other means.
The idea is supposed to hare been
taken up By handlers OF consumers

BELLEVILLE, N. j., August 25--
Allen G. Butler, the 15year-old Boy
Scout who averted wreck on the Erie
Railroad late Wednesday night by
running down the track and waving a
red lantern, learned by bitter experience
that heroes do not remain heroes to the
world at large for much longer than "a
hours. His day Of glory ended abruptly
when he stopped another train on the
same line to show how it was done and
received a thorough and humiliating
bawling out from the engineer.
Allen. who had been interviewed,
photographed and congratulated by
all morning and well into the after
noon, was finally persuaded to act out
the episode for newsreel cameramen,
who told him the engineer wouldn't
mind. seeing who it was.
A little reluctantly Allen took the
red lantern provided by the camera
men, waited for the next train to ap-
pear and then stepped out on the track
and waved it furiously. The train
came to a groaning stop and the engi-
neer leaped out breathless. The cam
eramen, having got the picture they
wanted took to their heels.
What the help" asked the engineer
rudely.
Allen smiled, full of confidence.
Just for the photographers. he
said. You know. I'm the fellow who
saved the train last"

The worry will come when the
handlers begin selling their 10 months
supply and are purchasing nothing.
President Roosevelt is still doing a
lot of talking back-stage about COM
modify dollar.
He likes the idea. You may expect
to see him try it, or something like 1t,
when opportunity offers.
The fact is not generally known
that it was the one thing he hoped to
develop at the London Economic Con-
ference He thought there might be
an understanding between Nations,
whereby each might try for stabiliza-
ton through that medium.
Brain Trust Not in Line.
Most brain trustees pooh-pooh the
mere thought of a fluctuating dollar to
keep prices stable. They cannot see
where it fits into the existing economic
picture They believe it is an antidote
instead of a stimulant. 1t would keep
the purchasing power of the dollar
stable But it would not boost pur-
chasing power or business
The super-thinkers believe the idea
has been kept alive in the President S
mind by Prof Warren.
They noted also that Prot. irving
Fisher Was caller not long ago at
HYDE Park.
Fisher is the leading advocate OF

The general assumption inside here
is that the President will suppress his
commodity dollar desires until certain
other things are accomplished. They
are sure he will insist on a much
higher price level before he decides on
any fixed dollar standard
Meanwhile, the supers are talking up
the national planning idea They are
growing more certain that the social
ization ideas now being tried on the
farmers will be the ultimate way to
make the N. R. A. effective on in
