HUNTERS CAUTIONED
By Associate J Press
Washington, D..C., June 13.—Point
ing out the danger of forest fires
through the carelessness of huntsmen,
the forestry service to-day appealed to
manufacturers of firearms and ammu
nition for their co-operation in re
minding purchasers and users of guns
and cartridges to exercise greater care
when in the woods for recreation.

an effort to end her life or that she
fell overboard.
The statements made yesterday by
persons who knew Miss Winter, tend
ing to prove a strong motive for sui
cide, are not deterring State's Attorney
Green and Sheriff Potee of Anne
Arundel county in this week. They in
timated that there may be important
developments during the day.
Mr. Green said he did not believe
Miss Winter committed suicide, but he
would not say what he believed caused
her death.
D. Meredith Reese, Jr., Miss Win
ter's intimate friend and associate,
who was with her on the night of her
disappearance, has been placed under
police surveillance.
Makes Another Statement
Following the publication of police
expressions that he had withheld some
of the circumstances surrounding the
young woman's movements on the
night of her disappearance, Reese has
made another statement, which he de
clared was an attempt to relate all he
knows of the case.
He said there was a possible excuse
for Miss Winter lining jealous of him
a year ago, but not within the last
year. Repeating his previous stories
of their movements on the night, he
said that he met the young woman at
a pier of a Curtis Bay resort; that they
went in his motorboat straight up
Curtis creek to another resort, where
they stayed about twenty minutes, and
then went straight back to their start
ing point.
"I put Ella ashore at the float,'' he
said, "and I remember her waving
and calling 'good-by' several times as
I leaned over in the launch to start
the motor.
"That was the last I saw of her. She
had not gone to the upper wharf, as
I remember, but was still on the float
as I drew away. I don't know whether
she jumped overboard or fell over
board. I don't know how she got In
the water."

One of the first to welcome Colo

Canterbury, who had traveled on the
same train and who greeted him on
the platform.
"My visit to England is purely a
social and scientific one. I have come
here to lecture before the Royal Geo
graphical Society on the subject of
my discoveries and adventures in Bra
zil and also to meet friends. I will
not discuss politics—either American,
English or French."
This was the reply of Colonel Roose
velt to a bombardment of questions
from a score of newspapermen for
whom he held an informal reception
at Lieutenant Colonel Lee's countrv
home.
All Subjects Taken Up
The Colonel was questioned on
every possible subject from the con
troversy aroused in connection with
his discovery of a river in Brazil to
the passage by the American Senate
of the Panama tolls exemption repeal
bill and the prospects of his candidacy
for the governorship of New York'
State. His reply in each instance was
"I have nothing to say" or "no, you
may not expect a statement from me"
which was his answer as to whether
he was going to issue a statement on
the subject of the governorship.
One of the Colonel's first visitors
was Dr. John Scott Keltie, secretary
of the Royal Geographical Society,
who brought with him a number of
maps for the use of the Colonel in
his lecture.
It is possible that Colonel .Roose
velt may see King George before his
departure from England. His Ma
jesty is spending a week at Windsor
Castle but no arrangements have been
made for a meeting.

Baldwin's Plea. —State Fire Mar
shal Joseph L. Baldwin is out with a
plea to the public to make the Fourth
of July "a day If patriotic rejoicing in
stead of a day of apprehension" be
cause of danger of fires. Mr. Baldwin
in making his plea for a safe and
sane Fourth throughout the State re
marks that noise is not patriotism and
harks back to the early days when
the celebration of Independence Day
consisted of the unfurling of the flag
with salutes of guns and church bells,
patriotic songs and speeches and din
ners. The fire cracker is declared by
the State marshal to have become "a
national -nuisance" and recommends
that fire works be handled on the
community plan and under direction
of competent persons. The co-opera
tion of fire chiefs and chiefs of police
throughout the State is asked by Mr.
Baldwin in making the day safe and
sane.

SMITH SMIITY CASE
COMES UP 111 JULY
Many Expert Alienists of This Part
of Country to Testify at

Which of two Dauphin county Jur
ies Edward G. Smith must face in
September quarter sessions one
whose verdict may send him to the
electric chair, the other to end his
life in a madhouse—will be decided
by the Dauphin county court early in

While the date has not been defi

of July.
The hearing will be in open court

sent the problem to twelve of Dau
phin's good men and true, then the
jury will be selected from the Septem
ber quarter sessions panel.
District Attorney Stroup said in
discussing the question to-day:
"Of course Smith is sane, and I only
asked that the case go over until Sep
tember so that I may show by the
best alienists obtainable that what I
say is true."

A Dime!
Seems like a lot to some smokers to spend for a cigar.
Take MOJA QUALITY, for instance, consider its
workmanship, its fragrant aroma, its ability to please
any taste —mild or strong —and that you are getting
the best all-Havana tobacco for your money.
Well, the argument naturally winds up in your
smoking
MOJA
T 10c CIGARS
You get more smoke satisfaction for your dime than
the same amount of nickel cigars.
Why not MOJA?

■SPIRE FUM
TO BE iran
Borough Laddies Will Be in Line
With New Motor Driven
Apparatus
Members of the Citizens' Fire Com
pany, No. 1, of Highspire, have al
ready begun preparations to attend the
State convention of volunteer firemen
to be held in Harrisburg the week of
October 5. With nearly 150 men in
i full uniform, a band and a company's
full equipment of motor * chemical
truck and a twenty-five-foot ladder
truck in line, the Highspire "laddies"
feel that they will compare very favor
ably with any of the companies from
the larger towns and cities.
It is the pride of the Highspire fire
fighters that they have, so to speak,
"put one over" on Harrisburg and
some other cities by having a motor
driven apparatus. The Highspire com
pany but recently purchased its fine
motor chemical truck and established
the record of having the first motor
driven fire-fighting apparatus in Dau
phin county. This new truck replaced
the hand-drawn chemical truck pur
chased several years ago and was se
cured at a cost of $l,lOO for the truck
alone.
Company Five Years Old
It is but a little over five years since
the Citizens' Company has been or
ganized. During this short time the
} company has built its present two
j story brick home at Paxton and Broad
; streets. This line building is finished
I in all modern equipments, with the en
i tire lower floor reserved for housing
the apparatus and the second floor
furnished as a parlor and reading room
for the members.
The preset membership Is 150 men,
including many of the town's most
prominent citizens. The company
does not allowany intoxicating liquors
In its "home," a rule that has called
forth the hearty commendation from
the horough's ministers. That the
company is efficient is shown from the
fact that no fires in recent years have
been allowed to reach serious propor
[ tions and the property loss through
fire has been kept down to almost
nothing.
The present officers of the company
are: President, Homer Etter; vice
president. Robert Rrashears; secretary,
Austin Heicher; financial secretary,
Uriah Brown; treasurer. Harry Hoke;
trustees, William H. Smith, Eugene
Orris and John Weaver; five chief, Sam
uel Haehnlen; first assistant, Harry
Hoke; second assistant, Sylvester Hahn;
directors, John Romgardner, Elmer
Kline, Harry Sweitzer, Austin Heicher,
Robert Sanson and Clarence Shaffner.
