m MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED DEAD Latest Estimate of Victims of Forest Fires. MAJORITY WERE RANGERS At Least One Hundred of the Killed United States ployes and Forty Others Are Miss- Were Forest Em- ing—New Blazes Reported Raging in Several Localities in the States Situated in the Fire Area. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 27.—Latest estimates of the loss of life in the forest fires place the number of dead at more than 200. The Italians and Austrians in the St. Joe valley, of whom many perished, were employes of logging camps. The list of govern- ment rangers dead, now 100, will prob- ably be lengthened. Following is a revised list of the number killed in the Idaho, Montana and Washington forest fires: United States forest employes, Idaho and Montana . ... 100 Settlers and fire fighters, valley, Idaho 50 At Newport, Wash. 4 At Wallace, Ida.. 3 At Mullan and Spokane ... 3 The Missoula forest office’s list of seventy-nine dead forest employes omits twenty-one killed at the Bullion mine, Montana, and on the Big fork of the Coeur d’Alene. The missing are: Negro soldiers, near Avery, Ida... 4 Ranger Halm's party, headwate: of St. Joe . Death Reports Vary Widely. Reports received by Supervisor Wei- gle at Wallace concerning the number of dead forest employes did not agree with that obtained at Missoula. The Teports to Wallace say that of Ranger Hollingshead's sixty men on Big creek fourteen bodies have been found and the other men are missing. Of sixty men on Setzer creek forty-eight bod- ies have been found and five men are missing. These sixty-two deaths of forest employes, added to the twenty- one deaths at the Bullion mine and on the Big fork of the Coeur d’Alene and the deaths in Montana and vari- ous Idaho creeks, would bring the to- tal number of deaths in the service up to 100. There is a dearth of news from the St. Joe valley, where the fires are rag- ing uncontrolled. Circumstantial ac- counts of the death of 115 men in four parties were brought to Spokane and Tekoa by survivors. The survivors say that 600 men were working on Big creek, whereas the number stated by the forestry service to have been em- ployed there is sixty. Joseph B. Halm is said by the Wallace office to have eighty-four men with him and by the Missoula office to have only fourteen. FIRES CAN BE PREVENTED Gifford Pinchot Says Loss Is Price of Unpreparedness. Washington, Aug. 27.—Gifford Pin- chot of the National Conservation as- sociation and former head of the gov- ernment forest service, in a statement, holds that the loss of property and life in the recent and present forest ‘fires was unnecessary. The disastrous results, he said, are ‘traceable to the unpreparedness to :deal with the fire situation. He scores members of congress whe have op- ‘posed appropriations for the proper equipment of forest rangers and in that connection names Senator Hey- burn of Idaho, whose home town, Wal- lace, Ida., suffered serious loss; Sena- tor Carter of Montana and Representa- tive Mondell of Wyoming. EIGHT HUNDRED HOMELESS Damage in Two Washington Counties Placed at $2,000,000. Portland, Ore., Aug. 27.—The fire situation is ome of unrelaxing vigi- lance. It is estimated that in Clarke and Cowlitz counties, Wash., $2,000,000 represents the aggregate loss. Eight hundred persons have been rendered homeles and 2,000 men have been thrown out of work. The town of Flora, Ore., has been destroyed, according to reports which reached Asotin, Wash. The flames came from the forésts on the south side of the Blue mountains. The town is in ruins and its 400 inhabi- tants are homeless. Communication is «cut off. Fires in Western Washington. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 27.—Within the Yast forty-eight hours forest fires of serious proportions have broken out in all sections of Western Washing- ton. Fanned by a strong northwest wind the fires have spread with alarm- ing rapidity and the state forest ran- gers and the patrols of the lumber- men’s associations have been impress- ing all available men to aid in combat- ting the flames. " SHERMAN AND BARNES. Around Whom New York's “Old Guard” Will Rally. SHERMAN RUMOR IS DENIED Vice President Will Not Retire From Politics at End of Term. Utica, N. Y. Aug. 27.—The story published at Watertown and else- where that Vice President Sherman would, upon the expiration of his term, retire from politics, is declared here to be without authority. Mr. Sherman refused to discuss pub- licly any question of a political na- ture, but a relative declared the an- nouncement of his retirement was without foundation.

TWO ARE KILLED IN AUTO WRECK Machine Goes Over Emhankment Near St Paul St. Paul, Auvg. 27.—Helen Boyer, twenty years old, a waitress, was in- stantly killed; Henry Waltenhauser, twenty-two years old, received injuries from which he died later in St. Jo- seph’s hospital, and W. E. Roger, Jr., twenty-one years old, and Howard By- water, twenty-five years old, were se- riously injured when an automobile in which they were returning from Bass lake skidded over an embank- ment midway between McCarron’s lake and Bass lake and turned over. Rogers is the grandson of W. E. Rog- ers, a South St. Paul commission mer- chant, a nephew of Dr. John T. Rog- ers, and has prominent connections. It is believed that the automobile tried to make a turn in the narrow road opposite the Rice road school when it went over the ten-foot bank. The marks show that it had run along the edge of the bank for a hundred feet and had then turned over. PIONEER IN DRESS REFORM Dr. Lydia Hasbrouck Dead at Age of Eighty-three. Middletown, N. Y. Aug. 27.—Dr. Lydia Hasbrouck, a pioneer in the dress reform movement in this coun- try, is dead here at the age of eighty- three. Following Miss Bloomer in 1893 she adopted the Bloomer cos- tume, consisting of velvet bloomer trousers and short skirts. The cos- tume caused her much inconvenience, for she was frequently refused admit- tance to public places, but she contin- ued to wear them till her death. She was a graduate of the New York Medical college and had practiced in Washington. She lectured all over the country and was for many years president of the National Dress Re- form association. Postmaster Chases Robbers, Minneapolis, Aug. 27.—A daring at- tempt was made to rob the postoffice at Savage, Minn, but the robbers were driven off by the postmaster, E. C. Gavery, who siezed a shotgun from under his bed and engaged in a hand to hand conflict with a bandit who had succeeded in entering the building. . Dysentery is a dangerous disease but can be cured.

ENJOYS PUBLIC ACCLAIM Smiles Broadly When Greeted With Shouts of “Teddy in 1912” and “Back to the White House,” but Promptly Denies Any Third Term Ambition — Welcomed by Large Crowds at Every Stop in “Insur- gent” lowa. On Board the Roosevelt Train, Aug. 27.—With Colonel Theodore Roosevelt speeding across the Iowa prairies and greeting the inhabitants of the Iowa towns Middle West politicians have reached the conclusion that the poli* -cal future of the contributing edit is bound to be either president ¢ president maker. Half way across the continent, with stops at almost every town of size en route, has demonstrated that Roose- velt can ‘“come back.” Experienced Dpoliticians say that evidently the enor- mous popularity of Roosevelt has not waned in the slightest. They point to the thousands who crowd to every sta- tion through which the Roosevelt spe- cial passes and who cheer themselves hoarse at every word Roosevelt utters as ample proof. And at every town the Roosevelt grin has been greeted with shouts of: “Teddy in 1912,” “Back to the White House, Teddy,” “Go after ’em, Teddy, we're with you.” Roosevelt has made no reply to the shouts so far, but the smile widens a little when an enthusiast suggests an- other term as president and the crowd goes wild. Politics at Every Point. At every point along the line the local politicians have crowded the Roosevelt car, in many cases talking over local conditions, political and oth- erwise, with the colonel. An air of politics seems to hang over the entire trip so far. Colonel Roosevelt smiles broadly and denies promptly whenever ti- third term boom is mentioned and politicians accept the denial as sin- cere. They say, however, that the popular demand for at least a Roose- velt candidate in 1912 will force him to take a leading role in national poli- tics. The colonel, when in the heart of insurgent Iowa, was given a greeting along the route that compared favor- ably with his triumphal progress through the East. The colonel confined himself largely to discussing local topics before his rear platform audiences. He keeps off big national topics, evidently fear- ing to encroach on the set speeches he has prepared for the later stops on the trip. SAYS “BOSSISM” IS ISSUE Colonel Roosevelt Gives Out State- ment Concerning Situation. Carroll, Ja., Aug. 27.—Theodore Roosevelt definitely aligned himself with the progressives of New York state in a statement which he issued on the train as he was traveling across Iowa. Colonel Roosevelt declared that the main issue in the fight in New York was not any specific reform measure, but bossism. Bossism, he declared, frequently led to corruption and he said he would wage ruthless war on corrupt alliances between business and bosses. Colonel Roosevelt was asked about remarks by Timothy L. Wood- ruff, New York Republican state chairman, in regard to the factional fight in New York. In reply he issued this statement: “The progressives are emphatically in favor of taking a real step forward about direct primAries substantially on the lines of Governor Hughes’ proposition, but this is not the main issue. The main issue is that we stand against bossism, big or little, and in favor of genuine popular rule, not only at the elections, but within the party organization, and, above all, that our war is ruthless against every species of corruption, big and little, and against the alliance between cor- rupt business and corrupt politics, as to which it has been found that too often in the past the boss system has offered a peculiarly efficient and ob- jectionable means of communication. “We are against the domination of the party and the public by special interests, whether these special inter- ests are political, business or a com- pound of the two.” Farmer Killed in Runaway. Grand Rapids, Wis, Aug. 27.— Charles Appel, a farmer living at Sie- gel, was thrown from a wagon and in- stantly killed. He was returning from a wedding of his son to Emma Oike. The team ran away, Mr. Appel striking on his head and breaking his neck. Lead Magnate Dies at Carlsbad.

IOWA POLICE CHIEFS MEET e Discuss Legisiation for Regulation of § Auto Traffic. Des Moines, Aug. 27.—Plans for new legislation looking toward better precautionary measures for the pre- vention of automobile accidents were discussed at a state convention of Iowa's chiefs of police. The. guar- dians of public safety went on record as favoring more strict and better en- forced speed laws. Chief Dineen of Waterloo, who has accomplished a great deal in properly regulating automobile traffic, declared that the death and injury list could be reduced to a minimum. Waterloo, he said, had 700 automobiles, and every driver was forced to confine himself to sensible speed limits. A million- aire was arrested, he said, as quickly as any one. HAS ABDUL HAMID ESCAPED? Said to Have Been Smuggled Out of His Prison at Salonika. Constantinople, Aug. 27.—The ru- mor that ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid has been smuggled out of the Villa Alla. tini at Salonika and that he is shut up now in some place known only to a few high government officials was revived through the publication of the story of his alleged escape.
