STRING BP FOUR FIRES STARTED NEAR RIDDLE Incendiarism Blamed for Fires in Nickel Moun tain District. SHINGLE MILL BURNED Dornath Plant Near Corn stock Totally Destroyed 2 Fires Reported in Coast Range. A string of four .Incendiary fires in 1 lie Nicliui Mountain district west of Kiddle, two lues In me Coast mi use, west of Cleveland, and thu destruction of a shingle mill and box factory near Comstock comprised the report today of the Douglas Kire l'airol. The Incendiary fires were set out yesterday on a shoulder of Nickel mountain. One oi me fires was discovered by a resident who cooperated with the patrol by put ling out the blaze shortly utter it Blurted and thereby saving a great deal of expense and possibly pre; venting the destruction of some valuable limber. The other three were brought under control last night before they caused any great uutount of ihimago. One reached l hvo acres in slits, and the., others , were kept under one acre in area. This is the first of the incendiary , I ires to bo reported this year. There were several fires in that Fit me 'territory last season when incendiarism was at its worst, and It is believed that the same per sons are responsible for yester day's fires. The sheriff's office is cooperating with Harvey Brown the supervising warden of the Douglas patrol and an investiga tion is being made in an effort to locate the guilty parties. The fires yesterday did little damage, but a wholesale conflagration in that ter ritory could be very cosily as there is a good deal of Port Orford cedar in that district, this timber being very valuable. There is also considerable second growth timber which could easily be completely destroyed by lire. Nickel mountain is a mining district west of Kid die, there being mineral develop 0, merits there of a great deal of value. Mill Is Destroyed One of the heaviest losses so far this year was the destruction last night of the Dornath Mill near Comstodt. This was a shingle mill ami box factory and was doing a big business. The loss will be keenly felt in the community. The fire apparently started from sparks all of the building 'and the equip ment being a total loss. The fire (Continued on page 4.) iiypicra 210 H10 PLANE TAKES 2 LIVES (.sriat(il I'rons Wire) CH1CAOO, Aug. 2.

' Johnson Done As Regular in Pitcher's Box (Auorlaled 1'rcM LcbbvU Win-) WASHINGTON, Aub. 2. Walter Johnson never expects to Inks, his regular turn in the pitcher's box again. Alter twenty yearn of campaign ing, the big train has decided thut he no longer can be counted upon to pitch turn in and turn out, but is satisfied that lie mill has a number of winning games left in his right arm, which lias hurled more baseballs past batters than any other the game kits ever known. "I can't go out there and throw that ball over like 1 used to," Johnson told an Associated Press correspondent. "But with proper care and rest I tliluk 1 enn go In and win a game now and then." Leaning forward across the front rail of a deserted grand stand nt lirlflllh Stadium, Walter fixed his gaze on the broad field where ho had scored so many of his tri umphs. "You know," he said, after a pause, "the injury I received this year hurt me a whole lot. It would not have made so much dif ference with a young fellow, but 1 1 am getting along and It took something out of me." i Walter Is undecided how long i lie will continue in Ihe big show, I but his mind is made up definitely mat lie win not give up baseball any time soon. "I'll probably be like the rest of 'them," he said with a smile. "Baseball is hard to get away from. I probably won't try to pilch much more but the chances are that I'll be connected with a ball club as long ns I am able to put on a uniform.

' gular terms totalling eight years added to the year and seven months of Mr. Harding's term com pleted by him. There has been a unanimity of opinion among those here with the. president and among national poli tical leaders who have come here this summer that Mr.. . Coolidge. would not stand in the way of a movement to renominate him at the convention of the Republican party next June, but a few of his friends have predicted that ho will not be u candidate. j It Is pointed out by some that; It Is too early tor Mr. Coolidge to, make such a decision. So far as, is known no one has asked him, point blank in direct conversation of his intentions. It Is recalled that In th 1!24 pre-convention campalgu Mr. Cool idge made no announcement what ever that he was a candidate, lie did have a campaign manager and he passively sanctioned the move ments in various states to have convention, delegates Instructed in Ills favor. William M. .Butler, his cumpaigu manager then,, today is chairman of the Republican na tional committee. , Old Associates Absent Besides Mrs. Coolidge there are few with the president today who were with him or associated with him-on the eventful night four years ago when Warren Harding died.

After falling in their first at tempt to find any formula which held the possibility of giving satis faction, Admiral Salto and Vis count Ishli this morning visited Hugh S. Gibson, chief American delegate, und handed. him the text of u compromise projoct concern ing cruisers. Thu proposal provides that Great Britain and Japan shall cease build ing cruisoi'H when, they reach the end of their present authorized programa, and that up to 1031 the number of 10,000 ton cruisers shall he limited to 12' for Great-Britain and oight for Japan, - Tho !lun- culls for, a ; secondary class of cruisers with a maximum of K.OOt) tons each, but .nothing is said about eight Inch guns, In, con nection with this type of cruiser. i Protest Proviso The plan proceeds by suggesting; that, If any building program be comes a menace to (he other signaj lories, Ihey could be empowered lo denounce Ihe arrangement. The U n Red St ales won Id not under take to exceed the British cruiser strength before 1931. . . Americans interpret the Japan ese compromise lo moan that, if thu British slop with their pres ent strength, that strength would constitute the total cruiser tonnage up to 1931.
