Huffman Discusses the Present Bankruptcy Law. Pittsburg, Jan. 5. (United Press) Wenman Lewis, a wealthy coal ope rator, the father of Bernard Lewis, will spend a fortune to clear his son's name of any possible connection with the murder of Maizie Colbert. The father plans the investigation to learn whether the son's suicide de notes guilt or hysteria. Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 5. (Spe cial) Bernard Wesley Lewis, scion of a wealthy Pittsburgh family, wanted in connection with the murder of Maizie Colbert, a model, in Philadel phia last Sunday, committed suicide last night as detectives rapped for ad mittance on the door of his apart ment to arrest him. Young Lewis braced his feet against the bathtub adjoining his bedroom in the exclusive States Villa on States avenue and pulled the trigger of a 22-calibre rifle. The detectives, hear ing the shot, forced their way into the apartment, but they were too late. Lewis was dead when they reached his side. Lewis was found half reclining in the bathtub, with his foot braced against the head. The trigger of the 22-calibre rifle was still claspn-.l in his hand and the end of the barrel rested against his temple. Lewis had removed his coat. He was attired in blue striped shirt, black trousers and black shoes. His fingers showed several scratches. On the bureau were several copies of today's Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York newspapers. One contained the flaring headline across the front page, "Girl May Solve Model Mystery." Underneath this was a cut of Maizie Colbert. FOREST NOTES (From the Forest Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture, Portland, Oregon.) Tests at the forest products labora tory, at Madison, Wisconsin, indicate that by the use of four additional nails in each end an increase of 300 per cent in the strength of canned food boxes is secured. Approximately 10,390 acres of de nuded lands within the national fjr ests were reforested in the fiscal year 1916. The total number of trees plant ed was 6,146,637, while 8280 pounds of tree seed were sown. There were 133,442 more cattle and horses, and 605,338 more sheep and goats using the national forests in 1916 than in 1915. This increase was in spite of large eliminations of grac ing lands from the forests. It is ac counted for by improved methods of handling the stock and by more inti mate knowledge of the forage on the ranges and their carrying capacity. The number of fires suppressed on national forest lands during the cal endar year 1915 was 6324, as against 7018 in 1914, and an average annual number of 4759 during the past five years, says Henry S. Graves, chief of the forest service, in his annual re port just published. While more than the average number of fires occurred the timbered area burned over was but 155,416 acres, or 30 per cent less than the average per year for the per iod of 1911-1915 inclusive. The aver age loss per fire was $60.41. Forty four per cent of the fires were con fined to areas of less than one-quarter of an acre. E. L.

(Special) The county court will allow no bills aside from salaries, wtness fees and thoe expenditures that are made compul sory by supreme court rulings until the taxes begin to come in, according to Judge Messick, who said today that the move has been necessitated be cause of the statewide limitation amendment.
