POLICE SCOUT SUICIDE STORY Refuse to Accpt Verdict of Coroner's Office Nurse Tells of Finding Body Says She "Passionately" Loved Him. NKW YOHK, May 12. Tho police an nounced today that they were unable to accept the theory that Dr. W. It. I.atson, a well known specialist and editor of thu Health Culture Mngiuclne, had com mitted suicide at his npartmuul In Itlv ersldu drive, notwithstanding a state ment to that effect fioni thu coroner's office. Alta Marhelkn, a nurse, who admits that she loved the physician "passion ately," says she found him dead In his office, fled In terror, but later lelurned and climbed throiiKh a window In the apartment for her coat. "I have loved Dr. I.atson for a limp time," said Miss Marhelkn today. "I was not only his nurse, but also Ills pri vate secretary and associate editor of Ills uuignxlnc. 1 went to his office last night to finish an editorial. Tho doctor was kneeling beside u sofa with a re volver by Ills Hide I felt of Ills head anil It wiih cold.' 8AI.KM, Or., May 12. aovcrnor West Iiiih received u complete report from the United KtuteH forestry service In which an estimate of the conditions of (mine In the various national forests In Oregon Is made, ami which the gov ernor will refer to the state fish and Kame commission. The estimate Is based iition Investigations of supervisors of the several forests concerned. Tho re port estimates elk as follews: Cascade forest, .10; Malheur forest, 20, with hunt ers kllllnK nn nvoruRe of five a year: Oregon national forest, 75; Siskiyou for est, GO: Hulshiw forest, 200; Umatilla forest, 13 i Whitman forest, 12ft, with hunters killing an average of 22S an ntiallj'; Crater national forest, in, Krny wolves destroyeillug nearly all the young, wiille thu winters pull down the weak ones, . In all, .he estimate limits the number of elk In the national forests In Oregon to C38. It Is estimated that 100, 00U of various species of deer are found within thu boundaries of OrcKon forests, and about H,000 o f these nre killed an nually by hunters, while 20.000 are the prey of predntory animals. The report estimates tlirt the forests contain about 10 per cent of tiielr productive capacity of field '.birds, while iIiipIch nppear to he deeernslng about 2 per cent annually In the reserves, especially In the ronton of Crater Lake forest on account of the fact tout Good persons spend from one to six weeks each season there hunting and fishing. It Is estimated there are In the nation al fores, area of OroKon 21,000 coyotes, 12,000 wild cats, r,0l) bear, 3000 cougars and MOO wolves, which annually kill stock valued at $120,000, besides being 'responsible for the destruction of numer ous KUiiiQ birds nna nnlmals. The report shows that one cougar durlpg bis life time will kill 1800 to 2H0O deer. The government authorities advise tho gov- iirnnr tiuil tho most effective means for tho protection of name animals would be t.10 employment of hunters for three years, or to Increase tho bounty, as pred atory animal In tho national forests nro more responsible for tho loss of game birds and anlmnls than hunters and trap pers, Tho nutnorltlcH estlmnto that l.lifiR, 000 fish of the trout and salmon variety 11 ro taken annually from forest streauiH In tills state by approximately 8000 fishermen.
