THE GREATDESTROYER

Fire, the great destroyer, has been
in fine fettle this summer.
Fire, raging and uncontrolled, has
made black and barren and ugly,
thousands of acres of the nations
finest forest land. Fire has turned
pleasant homes into smoking piles
of debris. Fire has ravaged fac
tories, and added men and women
to the long rolls of the jobless.
Fire has marched irresistibly thru
farms, killing livestock, razing
buildings, and running crops.
A few of these fires may be I'M
avoidable But they are very few
indeed, and so rare as to be hardly
worth mentioning. Eighty per cent
of all fires, say the experts, could
have been prevented. They need
never have occurred. But they did
occur-because someone was thot-
less, someone was careless, someone
was ignorant, someone took a
chance.
Back of all these fires, great and
small alike, lies the human ele.
ment. A cigarette butt tossed from
a speeding cara camp fire no,
quite extinguished-a cleanup JOB
left undone till tomorrow vacant
lot left to dry, INTENDED weeds
these are the things that make fire
this year, last year, next year.

Use Of bund Fund
To Haul Woman's
Furniture Charged
Prosecutor Says Kuhn
Referred to Her os
'Cusuui Friend
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE ques-
ton Of whether Fritz Kuhn had the
right to use funds Of his German
American Bund to move a femi-
nine acquaintance furniture has
been raised by the prosecution In
Kuhn trial on larceny and forgery
charges.
The State charged yesterday that
the portly bundfuehrer, accused Of
stealing $5,641 from his own Or
ganization, had embezzled $565 to
transport Mrs. Florence Camps fur
niture from Los Angeles to New
York and then to Cleveland.
Assistant District Attorney Her
man j. Mccarthy said Kuhn had
told other bund members that Mrs.
Camp was a bund sympa thizer and
referred to her as lust a casual
friend"
I'VE will show, in his own hand
writing, that she was more than q
casual friend" Mr. Mccarthy added.
His interest was keenly sentimental.
We dc not want to go into his pri-
vate life. but we must, in order to
show the hoaxes that he perpetrated
on the people of the bund in order
to embezzle these funds"
Says Bund Had No Accountant
James Wheeler Hill bund national
secretary. testified the bund did not
employ an accountant and that
Kuhn kept account of the organiza-
tons finances through his own
check book stubs.
He said Kuhn had told bund mem.
bers of transporting Mrs. Camps
furniture with the terse explanation:
"She is interested in patriotic &C.
tivities."
Mr.. Wheeler-Hill Is a former ele.
vator operator. The other chief wit.
ness OF the day, Gustave j. Elmer,
national bund organizer, is a former
bartender.
Judge Takes Up Questioning.
Mr. Elmer, like Mr.. Wheeler-Hill,
bore out the defense contention that
Kuhn had practically unlimited au-
thority to disburse the bund's money
in any manner he willed, but under
the prodding of the prosecution
blurted out:
Il said to spend it for woman Is
not right. to spend it for a woman
should not be DONE"
Judge James Carrot Wallace took
up the questioning from the bench.
1T was your position that the de.
fendant had the right to spend
money for any purpose except dis.
sipation?"
For anything except to 60 out
and spend in on woman, yes" Mr..
Elmer replied. He was expected to
be recalled to the stand when the
trial resumes Monday.
