FOREST CAMPS
To OPERATE
ALL WINTER
100000 C. C. C. Workers Will
Remain in ,450 Units Under
Plans of the President

The major portion of President
Roosevelt's peacetime army Of
100000 civilian conservation corps
workers will probably remain in
the forests through the winter.
This became apparent today as
the executive was advised present
conservation corps machinery can
accommodate all the present per.
sonnel comfortably through the
cold months.
Plans Are Ready
Two reports on winter quarters
for the forest workers were being
studied by the President today,
one prepared by Secretary Of War
Dern, the other by Chief Forester
R. Y. Stewart, of the forest ser
vice. The two drafts were similar
in their recommendations for win
ter operation of the camps.
Under the War Department and
Forestry Service proposals, a shift
ing Of only one third Of the forest
workers, from far Northern to
Southerly camps, would be neceSs
sary to make everyone comfort
able.
Mr.. Roosevelt expected to keep
some Of the camps operating
through the winter, but until the
two reports were submitted to him,
did not know whether the present
setup could accommodate all the
workers in camps where the win
ter months are mild enough to
permit continuous work.
1,45O Camps Operate
A conference between the Presi-
dent and Robert Fechner, head Of
the conservation corps, will bring
final decision on the number Of
men to be kept on the rolls
through winter.
In view of the ability Of the
corps organization to handle all
the men, it appeared a virtual
certainty that all those who can
not finds jobs would remain in
conservation camps.
There are 1,45O conservation
camps in operation now.

SMILING WIDOW
SAYS, LET NE
FORGET PAST"
Freed by Jury, Mrs. Costello
Says She Hated Publicity,
But Had to Be "Sport"

PEABODY, Mass, Aug. 16
Q.N.SD Dawn of new and hap.
pier hours came today to Mrs,
Jessie Burnett Costello, acquitted
by a jury at Salem of the charge
of giving her husband a capsule
containing cyanide Of potassium.
Jessie was home with her three
children and her father. She was
free for the first time since her
arrest on March II.
But she was not free from the
public spotlight. Her little bunga-
low home, where she was trying
to step back to everyday life, was
besieged by neighbors and friends,
by the curious, and by those seek
ing her name on contracts to ap-
pear on the stage and to write.
II Want to Forget"
Before going to a new home in
Danvers, Jessie will visit the graves
of her husband and her mother.
She will go to Salem jail to get
her belongings and to thank those
who showed kindness to her dur
ing her ordeal. She said:
II want to forget the past.
For five months I have been
trying to be good soldier and
bear my cross for the edifica-
ton of the curious.
"NOw 1 am free once more
and back to nOrmalcy. Oh!
How I hated the false position
I was placed in. l lOathed the
publicly and nOtoriety, but I
tried to be a good sport and
show / wasn't a poor, weak
woman overcome by the charge
that the government made
against me. But all I wanted
was my children and the few
friends / have left"
GRATEFUL TO JURY
Mrs. Costello today evinced the
same joy she displayed late yes
terday when a jury returned its
verdict of acquital on the murder
charge. And she expressed her
gratitude and relief that the jury
had apparently placed no cred
ence in the story Of a clandestine
love affair as related on the
witness stand by Edward j. Nc
Mahon, ex-reserve policeman.

AIM FOR ARMY

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt plans to
eliminate a large percentage of
the army posts operating in the
country. It will not affect the
size of the army, but will simply
concentrate the men in fewer
camps.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels this con-
centration will save many mil
lions of dollars and is now study
ing a graph showing the location
of every soldier in the United
States with a view to cutting
down the number of posts.
Announcement of posts that
will be retained will be made in
more or less piece-meal fashion.
It was pointed out that there
are instances where a single regi-
ment of 1000 men is spread over
four posts, and the President
thinks this is entirely unneceS-

POISON MURDER
Of 4 SOLVED
BY CHILD
Akron Attorney Confesses to
Staying Man, Wife and z
\ Children in Auto

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Aug. Is
G.N.S) The lisped words Of a
3-year old child provided the
evidence today which police an
nounced enabled them to solve
the fatal poisoning of four mem
bers of family of five, described
as the worst poison case in the
history of the State.
Mark H. Shank, 41, Akron,
Ohio attorney, has signed writ
ten confession admitting the
poisoning of Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin
Cooley, "a, and their two little
children, Clement, II, and Clar-
ence, 7, Chief of Police Joe Wake
lin, of Saline county, announced.
Child Gives Clue
"Mr. Shank put SOm'fin in a
Jug"
This was what little Clyde
Cooley, a third child, told them,
the authorities said. Clyde is re-
covering from the strychnine
which police say killed his
parents and brothers.
The written confession, officials
said, was merely a brief acknowl'
edgnent of Shank's guilt.
The four members of the Cooley
family, two of them dead and two
others dying, were found in their
car near Malvern, Ark, after it
had run off the road with the
lifeless Cooley at the wheel. Cooley
and the older boy, Clement, were
dead and the mother and second
son, Clarence, Z, were racked with
convulsions when found, officers
said.
Seen in Car
Shank, police declared, had
been seen running from the
Cooley car and was picked up
later in a nearby woods.
The attorney was brought to
the local Jail for protection when
a crowd began to gather at NAL
vern.
The theory that the Cooleys
were poisoned because they
knew too much" was advanced
by local officials. They told Of
finding letter on Mrs. Cooley
which they say was written by
Shank and in which he is said
to have offered the Cooleys a
fortune "to keep their mouth
shut"
The Cooley's, natives Of Akron,
had been living at Malvern room
ing house.

Normal operations in the prin-
cipal grain exchanges were re-
sumed today following the de.
cision of the Federal Government
to abandon all efforts to peg
wheat prices in the futures mar
ket.
The minimum price schedules
have been in effect since July 80.
The grain exchange regulation
fixing the daily fluctuation n
wheat futures at S cents per
bushel, a self imposed policy, will
continue.
The decision to abandon the
policy of pegging wheat futures
was announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace after a three
hour conference with President
Roosevelt. Wallace said:
"We cannot maintain prices
by any sleight-of-hand or
magic"
While the Government with
drew it's aid for maintaining
wheat prices along this line, Wal

Federal employees in Washing

$500 since March, according to
Secretary of Commerce Daniel G.
Roper, in connection with a state
ment today in which he justified
Federal reductions while the Gov
ernment is asking business to add
employees to it's forces.
This number does not take into
account employees in the emer-
gency organizations, but repre-
sents the reduction in the estab-
lished, old-line Federal bureaus.
Neither does it include the courts,
the legislative establishment or
the District government.
The Secretary's attitude was
that business had already been
deflated for three years, before
any reductions began in the Gov
ernment employ, and that in any
event the Government must keep
normal expenditures in line with
it's income.
