MANIAC FIREBUG MENACING RICH HOMESjN WEST Haggard Rangers Hunting Madman in Forests of California.

By United Press REDWOOD CITY, Cal., Aug. 12. In the heavily wooded districts of the central California coastal region, haggard fire fighters today sought a madman who has swept j through the region with a flaming : torch, starting an undetermined , number of fires. Rich estates have been destroyed ' and others threatened by the flames which have raged for weeks. Special guards were requested by Bert Werder, San Mateo fire warden, to seek the firebug. The summer home of Governor James Rclph Jr. was threatened by fire as was the $500,000 estate of the late Senator James D. Phelan of Saratoga. Both properties were ; saved only after desperate efforts. The SIO,OOO home of Henry Duffy, theatrical producer, into which he planned to move hext month, was i destroyed. I Flames swept to within 200 feet l of the Rolph property. They had started almost simultaneously at j seven places in the brush nearby.

FUUR WOMEN ACES ARE IN OCEAN'RACE' Plans Are Announced for Takeoffs Sometime This Month. By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 12 —The 1931 season for nonstop flights may die In the din of unprecedented feminine achievement. To be the first woman to pilot a plane in a nonstop flight from America to Europe suddenly has loomed as a much-coveted distinction. Thus far. there are four entrants in the air steeplechase, with the Atlantic ocean as the great barrier, and with winning tapes stretched at London, Paris and Rome. Ruth Nichols, Laura Ingalls, Mrs. Geraldine Grey Lofredo and Elinor Smith, licensed transport fliers, have announced plans to take off •‘some time in August.” One, Ruth Nichols, already has made one takeoff. Last June her big. high-speed, gold and white monoplane rose from Floyd Bennett field, intent on the Lindbergh trail to Paris. At St. John's. New Brunswick, she crashed against a hillside. Her plane was wrecked. She injured her spine and cut her knee. Arrived at her home in Rye N. Y. t on a stretcher, Ruth’s only talk seemed to be of her ‘next try.” Clarence Chamberlin announced that he hoped to have her plane ready for her again about the middle of August for a hop to Paris.
