DANGER OF FOREST FIRES GROWS LESS Officials Encouraged by Re- ports From Stricken Sec- tions of Pacific Northwest. By the Assoclated Press. SEATTLE, August 17.—After anxious days and nights, when the forest-fire situation’ in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada seemed to be growing steadily more critical and Federal troops were ordered to give assistance 1f neces- sary, late reports from the flaming fronts gave encouragement to Forest Bervice officlals today. Search for Douglas C. Ingraham, Portland, Federal grazing inspector, and Ermannie St. Luise, Chelan youth, be- lieved trapped by fire at McFarland Creek in thie Chelan National Forest in Washington, continued today, but vir- taally no hope for their safety remained. Escape Cut Off. Searchers reported that the escape of the two men had been cut off and that they would have been found by this time if alive. It may be weeks before their bodies would be discovered, it was id, as smoke from the smoldering s made visibility poor. Istrict Forester C. M. Granger of Portland, who flew over the fire area {'esterdny. reported a slight improve- inent in the entire central Washington area. Only heavy rains will quench the flames, but they were expected to be confined to their present limits. Crews battling fires in Wenatchee Na- tional Forest reported they had made considerable progress in the last 12 hours and expected to have the Chain Lake and White Mountain fires under control in two or three days. ‘Trenches were being dug around fire areas and backfires started to keep the blazes within defined limits. The moun- tainous character of the country had | made efforts to control the fires difficult. | Cutting Fire Crews. | Conditions in British Columbia and on Vancouver Island also were reported better, and fire crews were being re- duced in some localities. More than 2,000 men had been mar- shaled to combat the fires in Washing- ton and about 1,800 in British Colu! bia, making a total of 3,800 fire fighte) ‘These forces had been reduced some- ‘what today. Virtually all Northern Idaho fires ‘were reported under control. A brush fire which swept beyond con- trol east of Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras | County, Calif., was racing toward big timber, after sweeping 15,000 acres and destroying a home belonging to Martin Fischer. ~Scores of men are seeking to | check its spread. WORLD SHIPPING GAINS, SAYS FEDERAL REPORT Recovers From Post-War Depres- sion With Less Idle Tonnage and Higher Rates. World shipping is recovering from the post-war depressi with less idle tonnage today than a year ago and ap- preciably higher freight rates, accord- ing to the transportation division of the Department of Commerce. These developments are based on a normal growth of oversea trade, the report states, and therefore likely to be main- tained. “Due in part to the growing de- mands of overseas trade, in part to the breaking up of obsolete vessels,” the report said, “laid-up shipping through- out the world was reduced to a new low total at the middle of the year— 3.312,000 gross tons. This figure rep- resents a decrease of 1,361,000 tons or 29 per cent from the total of a year ago. “Without exception of any conse- quence, all countries shared in the de- crease of idle shipping. The United States held the lead with a reduction of 786,000 tons, or 26 per cent, a fact which s not surprising inasmuch as the world's largest idle fleet is in this | country.” = 5 — 4 Claiming that his present handcuffs had worn out because of rust and lack of use, the chief constable of West Suffolk, England, has applied for authority to purchase a new pair, Crash Driver Claims She Was Unconscious From Lightning Bolt By the Assoclated Press. PEORIA, Ill, August 17.—Held responsible for an automobile ac- cident in which a girl was in- jured, Mrs. Elenora Casey of Chillicothe, IIL., today said she was unconscious from & bolt of lightning at the time of the ac- cident and did not regain con- sciousness until after the crash. Miss Gurnet Oliver of Peoria was injured seriously in the crash. DANGER'S ROMANGE STIRS HOME TOWN Newton, Kans., Buzzes When Eleanora Ambrose Phones Mother of Wedding. By the Assoclated Press. - NEWTON, Kans., August 17.—Newton was buzzing again today about the for- tunes of Eleanora Ambrose Mouvet, widow of the dancer Maurice, whose marriage at Stamford, Conn., to Sam Katz, wealthy theater operator, took place today. ‘The daughter of Howard Puckett, Newton policeman, Eleanora began a career that has taken her across the ballrooms of two continents by dancing to the phonograph at her Newton home and making up her mind to follow more or less in the steps of her sister, Ade- laide Ambrose, who achieved a stage reputation and later entered the pub- lishing business. Phone Call From East. ‘Today Mrs. Puckett happily told of a | telephone call last night from Eleanora, who arrived in New York yesterday after a year of vocal study in Paris and London. The widow and former partner of Maurice announced a year ago that the ballrooms of the world were haunted by shadows of her hus- band and that she intended to sini “She told me they were to be ried today,” sald Mrs. Puckett. didn’t ask her where.” Encouraged by her already famous sister to practice dancing, Eleanora went to New York eight years ago in her late teens, to begin an uphill fight for recognition. She found it in the eyes of Maurice, just back from a con- tinental tour, and distressed by the loss of his partner, Leonora Hughes, who l.:;d married a South American million- e. Signed as Partner. Maurice saw Eleanora dance and for- | got his troubles.. He signed her ms partner and after successful tours over a large portion of a pleasure-loving globe they were married in Paris in 1926. The polished floors of French, Swiss and English ballrooms reflected the danc- ing honeymooners before Mouvet died at a Lucerne, Switzerland, hospital in v of 1927, of stomach trouble. The Puckett girls. as last night's tele- phone call from New York indicates, | never forgot their parents. For 10 years there have always been ’phone calls, telegrams, cablegrams and flowers arriving at the little cottage here. Fre- quent checks have found their way home, too, and both daughters have | made as many flying visits back as 1 their busy lives have permitted. RAIL MEN TO HAVE OUTING.
