Once Superior Judge of Colorado Swallows PolKon. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 8. Penni less and deserted by his friends, Charles G. Van Fleet, former super ior court judge of Colorado, and at one time a candidate for congress there, committed suicide last night by drinking cyanide of potassium, in a cheap lodging house. In one hand, when the man was found, he held a letter from his wife; In the other, he grasped the bottle of poison. The letter, written by his wife from San Jacinto, only a few days ago, reads: "Dear Charles Send us money. We are hungry and the boy has no clothes. Yesterday a friend gave me a 25-cent piece and I bought bread for him. We are nearly starving; send us money. Send only (1 if you have no more." Yesterday Van Fleet received an other appealing letter from his wlfie, but when It was handed to him by the hotel clerk and he saw who It was from, he handed it back un opened. Von Fleet received also a letter from the law firm of Wellborn & Campbell, In which no encourage ment was given him in attempting to secure a judicial position near San Jacinto. With no money In his pocket, he Dawned his watch and with the last 25 cents realized from this, pur ahased cyanide of potassium with which he ended his life. Sick Headache.

The forest fires which have just laid waste whole counties In Minnesota, Michigan and extended into Wiscon sin, destroying many towns and mak ing thousands of persons homeless, have focused the attention of both government and state forest officers on the enormous losses of forest wealth which will be checked up to th year 1908. In the whole northern half of the United States throughout the vast territory extending from ' coast to coast, the reported destruction by forest fires has been terrific and it Is likely that the year will go down as one of the worst -in the last quar ter century. It seems that no part of the country has escaped the work of the devastating flames. The lat est disasters in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin are the worst of the many that have visited the Lake, states this year. Other sections have also suffered from forest fires dur ing the spring and summer months, and the people of the Pacific Coast. the Rocky Mountain and me New England states, and Canada have had a thorough, and in some cases, a con tinuous experience In fire fighting. Officers in the United States forest service here say that it is doubtful If this year's actual losses from for est fires in all parts of the country will ever be known, but It Is cer tain that they will run up so high In the millions that the country will be startled when a compilation of statistics at the end of the season makes It iiossible to give even the most conservative figures. Suffice it to Bay, were all the timber burned up this year In all parts of the. coun trv converted into cash, It could pro vide for a good sized navy of first- class battleships. The fires have done good in one way; thev have focused the people'? attention on the seriousness of the forest -Are problem, practical forest ers say. antl have started a wide spread movement in many Btntes tr check them by adopting rational sys terns- of fire protection. Amonp thlnklne people there has been awakened an Intense interest In throwing a better protection around the forests, which grow more Im portant as n natural resource as the timber supply dwindles. The government has had a lot of work In the fire flehting line on the national forests, but serious as the fires have been, careful patrol nnd the organization of a force of bnttle with the flames as Boon as discovered has held the losses down to a point where they are utterly Insignificant when one considers the fearful des truction which wonll have come shout had there been no protection. Although the Are menace has been serious In nil sections, officers of the forest service estimate that the total -nst of the forest fires on the national forests for the season, exclusive of the salaries of forest officers, will not be more than $30,000. This sum Is small when It Is remembered that it means Are protection for ap proximately 168.000,000 acres of na tional forests, less than two-tenths of a mill ;C" fere. Progressive stnte fe ward.-,! i nd forest nr"iia. In dividual M d private c 'porntlons having Inree timber holdings have organized Are Anhtlng forces along much the same line as the govern ment In many rases, and In this wny thev have given protection to millions or acres of timber which might have been destroyed had It been left unprotected. WHOLKSALK KIDNAPPING. CHICAGO, Sept. 18. The "kid nap" squad of detectives, organized yesterday under special orders from Chief of Police Shlppy to search for missing girls, today began active wnrlr In the runnlne down of the ' clues that might lead to the arrest of the gang of kidnappers that tins been working In this city for the past month. Fifteen girls have been lost In 30 days, and It Is believed that all were kidnaped. The girls all range from 13 to 19 years In age, and all were attractive and of good families. Chief 8hippy said today that a spe- I clal Biiiad of detectives would be maintained until the girls are found. He Is determined to put a stop to the kidnapping that has been going on here, terrorizing the residents for the past two months. PUZZLED. il WANTS COMPKT1TION. Portland Council Fighting Warren CoiiNtruction Co. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 18. The Warren Construction Company stands In Imminent danger ot losing its exclusive grasp on the bltullthlr paving work In Portland, as the street committee of the city coun cil, yeBterday afternoon, voted a rec ommendation to repeal the specifica tion clauses of the ordinance which now gives this concern the right to put In "patent" pavement. Councilman Kellnher began a ngnt against all kinds ot "patent" pave ments months ago, and has continued it with vigor. He contends that the city cannot legally order these im provements laid, as the city charter speclAcally calls for "open and com petitive bids." Mr. Kellaher de clares that bltulithlc, asphalt and Hassan) are brands which are pro tected by patent, and that to specify either kind under the chnrtor Is Il legal, and that the city will some day have to pav for this "kind of work out of the general fund. If a single taxpayer should Institute proceedings for a test. Notwithstanding this attitude ot Councilman Kellaher and the fact that he has explained the situa tion from his viewpoint numerous times, the council has proceeded to order many miles of the kinds of im nrovements named, as there seemed no other means or securing nnru- surface streets. Several weeks ago however, he Introduced the resolu tion, repealing the specification sec tions of the ordinance relating tr Warren's Uitultthlc pavement, In which are detailed the ingredients controlled by thnt compnny. These are known as "Warren's No 24 Puritan brand, hnrd bituminous cement; Warren's Purltnn brand waterproof cement and Warren'r miick-drylng bituminous Aush cont composition." No one outside the "onipany knows the composition o' these materials, but Mr. Keiiiinoi- says he has the strongest kind of siisii cions that the is nothing of im nortance In them that any one else cannot purchase. He proposes to'glve everv one an opportunity to come in to Portland, lay this kind of pave ment on n competitive hnslB. All Patent Brands Affected There Is on ordinance on the clty't hooks now which gives to every om the rlEht to lay bltulithlc pavement but with the single exception of the PnclAc Bridge Company, which hni an arrangement to do so, none dnre lav It. Competition, it Is said o Mr. Kellaher and others, Is absolute ly eliminated, which Ib also true ol the asphalt and Hnssiun brands of hard-surface streets. A Traveling Man's Kxperlcnrc. "I must tell you my experience on an castbound O. It. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to La Grande, Ore.,' writes Sam A Oarbur, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smok- Ina department with some other trav eling men when one of thorn wont out Into the coachand come back and said; 'There Is a woman sick unto dealh In the car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic; her IiuikIb and nrms were drawn up- bo you could noi straighten them, and with a death- like look on her face. Two or inree ladles were working with her and giving her whlskoy. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr hoea Remedy (I never travel without it), run to the water tank, put a dou ble dose of the medicine in the gluss. poured some water Into it nnd stirred It with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get tho Indies to lot me give It to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and In twenty minutes I gnve her another doso. lly this time we were almost Into La Grande, whero I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used In case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran Into La Grniule she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger In the car."

PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 18. In 14 minutes the jury In the case of K. II. Watson aguinst M. II. Rankin late yesterday afternoon decided thnt the former Is entitled to collect a fee of $10,000 for his services as an at- orney In connection with the pur- htike of 8000 acres of timber land by Rankin. This is the full sum Inlmed by Watson as a fee. although his demand for $600 interest was not included In the verdict. The case resolved Itself largely In to a question of veracity between the principals. Wntson said Rankin n.tieed to pay him a $10,000 fee up on the consummation of the sale, and Rankin snld he had not. Docu mentary evidence was Introduced to support the Wntson version, and the reputation of Kniikln for vernclty whs directly assailed. Senator C. ' W. Nottingham, .1. N. Davis and G. W. Mien testified thnt by common re port he hnB a hnhlt of trilling with ho truth. To offset this. Dr. Os- ninn Royal, Rev. Clarence True Wil son nnd J. M. Fair were called to surttiln Rankin's reputntlon. Dr. Royal and Rankin are fellow trustees In the Methodist church. Dr. Wil son, the defendant's pastor, snld he had heard rumors unfavorable to Rankin and beenme convinced on investigation thnt the reports were unintinded. Bert Heney nnd George W.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 19. United States Senator Foraker today Issued a statement denying the charge made by Win. R. Hearst, In a public speech last night that he recoived $50,000 from John D. Arch- bold, of the Standard Oil Co., for us ing his influence at Washington In behalf of the oil trust. Foraker does not deny having received the money, but he asserts that It was a loan made by Archbold to finance a newspaper deal, which ultimately fell through, upon which he returned the money. The records of the supreme court of Ohio do not show a single in stance In Foraker appearing as a counsel for the Standard Oil Co., but It Is shown that he appeared before tho state legislative committee and secured a Ou-year franchise for the Cincinnati Traction Co. In 1896. The records controvert Foraker'B state ment made yesterday to the effect that he was employed by Archbold in -behalf of the Standard in connec tion with work before the Ohio leg islature and not In national legisla tion.
