WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The most
important work before the Notifications
board at its monthly session Just close ed
was the compilation OF the observations
made by it personally upon The present
capacity of the large plants for the pro-
duction OF great guns and upon the pos
sibility of their extension TO meet war
emergencies.
The board had visited the army plants
at Water Lawn and Watervllet and the
private establishments at Midvala and
Bethlehem. Ii YVES found by working
three shifts of men at the government
works the present output could be
doubled, while the same result could be
obtained at tha Iriv ate establishments
without material increase OF plant bv
concentrating the labor upon the gov
eminent work.
The board also visited Boston and
Washington and witnessed the backward

The Officers Unable to Locate Cd han Tyson.
Sympathy With Him
STOCKTON, Nov. 30.-Old man Tyson,
who killed Deputy Sheriff Duzzell near
the San Joaquin bridge last Thursday
night, has not surrendered. and the
efforts OF the officers to locate him have
been wasted.
Today Sheriff Cunningham went to the
scene of the shooting with the youngest
: son OF Tyson, a boy IS years of age, and
they vent over the gorund as far as pos
sible. hoping to dnd the old man, as
the boys say he is wounded, nut he could
not be found The boy was not very
familiar with the country. bur he did
the best he could to point out their
course in flight. He found The shotguns
they bur ed after the shooting and the
arms were brought into town tonight
by the sheriff.
1t Is believed thar old man Tyson is
not badly hurt and that the boys are
giving HIM time to get out Of the county,
but WHY he should want to flee is not
understood ~ the offices. Public SYM
pathy seems to be With the Tysons, who
were evidently harrassed by the cow
herders and then ordered by the officer
to put out HE fire and start on in the
night and during heavy storm.

THE HYAMS CASE
The Second Trial Results In a Verdict of MOI
Guilty.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 30.-The second
trial of the brothers Harry and Dallas
Hyams for the murder IF young Wells,
the bene6ciaries of whose life insurance
policies, aggregating $50, 900, the Hyams
ultimately became, ended to-day in YER
dict of not guilty.
The judges charge was throughout
straight in favor of the prisoners. In no
ms lance did he give prominence to any
crown evidence, but dwelt strongly on
the theory OF accident, as advanced by
the defense. He told the jury to give due
weight to the fact that the accidental
death OF Wells might have suggested to
II AIRY Hyams the advantages to be
gained by marrying Martha Wells, ami
thus coming in for the insurance on
Wells life. On the whole, the Judge S
charge was that the crown bad not ad-
vanced evidence sufficient to convict
either of the prisoners. and in conse-
quenCe the verdict should be for acqut-
2ai. After being out thirty-ive minutes
the jury returned with verdict of not
guilty.
When Judge Ferguson told the prison
ers they were free, they started to leave
the court room, but at the door were re-
arrested by Detective Cuddv on the
charge of Conspiring to Gefraud the in
surance companies In the case OF Martha
Wells.
