Washington, Aug. 20. The agricul- tural department ia considering the In Reserves. advisability of installing wireless tele graphy In forest reserves throughout the West with a view to mskimr the system of forest protection moie effect ive. While the present rsnger system is quite successful, numerous large fires have occurred in reserves patrolled by rangers because of their inability to reach the fires at the time of their origin. Secretary Wilson's idea is to provide each' reserve with' a ; prat tit al fire protection system tint can be used to give an alarm the moment fire is discovered and get the settlers and the rangers to the . scene without delay. While not sat it fit d wireless telegraphy can be employed wi:h good effect, Sec possibilities of this new service. If it w ovi utv, ii u found wireless telegraphy is tco ex- a iuuiiu nurivDO iciikmyill II tuu JJ. pensive or impr.ctic.tle: ciief Moore Will r.eport on some other fire alarm system which will be effective in reach ing rangers in all parts of the reserve, as well aa settlers upon and adjacent to the reserve. If some system can be de vised that will not be too expensive, Secretary Wilson will recommend . its adoption and ask congress to make the necessary appropriation for equipping all the forest reserves in the West. It is belitved such a fire alarm sys tem will be especially valuable and practicable in a reserve like the Black llills, where large mining interests are conducted within the reservation and employ a large force of : men. Secre tary WilBon wlll not go into details in discussing his plan, nor will he show how it is proposed to use wireless tel egraphy I He wishes kittle publicity Kiven tha proposition until Chief Moore reports. . .

HUNGER MAKES THEM BOLD. Packing-House Strikers Try to Kin Steers, and fierce Battle Ensues. -., Chicago, Aug. 22. The fiercest riot of the stockyards strike occurred to night when hungry dwellers of the packinghouse district sought to capture and kill eight steers that had escaped from the yards.

Shots were fired and scores of rioters were clubbed Few arrests were made. the police contented' themselves with dispersing the mob. In no pre vious riots were clubs need so freely.

The blaze was quickly extinguished. A new source of trouble developed in the Btrike situation today; when ,the grease wagon teamsters voted to handle nothing for meat dealers who are 'un fair." The teamsters will, not,.baul any refuse except for dealers who pat ronize the independent packers only. xi rresiaent uonneily has had a confer ence with the executive board with the League of American Business Men." which was organized to raise fundB for the strikers. 1. A committee was formed to extend the movement to all parts of the city instead of confining it to the stockyards district. ,The league has raised the race issue, taking the ground that if the packers jyill not " end! the Btrike all the white residents will be dnvn from the stockyards region and that the place will become a negro set tlement with a population of at least 70,000 men, women and children.
