READY TO SURVEY
VAST LAND TRACT
Preliminary Step to Opening
Quarter Million Acres in
Garfield County.

In the simple announcement made
Yesterday from the office of Thomas
Hull, United States surveyor general.
that Andrew Nelson and Walter
Stumm. United States transitmen. with
full surveying party. had started to
make government survey in Garfield
county. there is far more significance
than appears on the surface.
This survey is provided for under a
SPECIAL appropriation act, passed at the
last regular, session of congress. and
has to do with several tracts, totalinp
about 100000 acres in The northwestern
portion of Garfield county.
Practically all of this TERRITORY is
virgin soil, and has never been settled.
Much of IL is barren waste that NAV
never be reclaimed. but there are also
large. areas that will be excellent for
dry farming and ranch purposes.
The work of surveying is expected
to occupy. the party from the time of
ITS arrival until autumn. 1t will then
require about six months to complete
the plating in the Office of the sur.
veyor general, and it is intended that
the land shall be open to entry during
the latter part of the wear 1919

NO TRACE FOUND
 OF MISSING JUROR Second Trial of Dr. Hyde
 Is Completely Tied Up

Kansas City, December 1S.-No trace of Harry w. Waldron, the runaway member of the jury that has been hearing the second trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde alleged slayer of Col Thomas H. Swope, has been found. A dozen or more clues were investigated by officers today.
 Hope that Waldron will be found soon practically has been abandoned by Pros ecutor Conlling and Judge Porterfield It is uncertain when the jurymen shall be freed.
 The flea ture of the case that is worry ing the states attorney is the announced intention of pr. Hydes attorneys to as sert if Ihis jury is discharged, that the life of the defendant cannot again be placed in jeopardy on the charge of kill ing Colonel Swope. Judge Porterfield does not think the second trial has jeopardized the life of pr. Hyde. However, the pros ecutor desires to be certain that tht courts view is correct before it agrees tt the discnarge of this jury.
 Even if Waldron should return now ant resume his duty as juror say attorneys for the defense, his action in absentins himself from the other jurors would be sufficient grounds for reversal. The state law says the F men must be kept together from the beginning to the end of the case
 Judge Porterfield went to the Waldrol home today and made personal investi- gation of the visit of strange man tt the house last night. who was rumored t. have brought news from the missing juror. Mrs Waldron satisfied the juds' that such was not the case. ty

GRAND JURY WILL TAKE UP
 DYNAMITING PLOT TODAY

Indianapolis. December 13.-Nation wide interest will center here tomorrow when the weeks of work by detectives,j attor- neys and accountants who have compiled evidence alleged to show the complicity of others than the McNamara brothers i'll dypamiting conspiracy will be turned ove" to the federal grand jury for formal investigation.
 Letters and records of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers have been abstracted aud checked against statements of Ortie Me ManigaI. confessed dynamiter. This class of evidence is to be delved into to fathom charges of q plot with it's seat in In dianapolis by which, according to the Ma tional Erectors' association. explosives in the last five years were carried into I' states and by which about 100 structures have been partly or wholly wrecked.
 Herbert S. Iockin. secretary of the Iron Workers association, returned today from St. Louis, where, it was reported, he was conferrng with Bresdent Frank M. Ryan, Hockin declared Ryan went to Chicago and said he would return here tomorrow
 Almost the first witnesses to be called, it was learned, Would be stenographer who was employed by McNamara when he was an active official of the union.
 Then evidence gathered by agents or the National Erectors association, papers seized in a raid on the Iron workers association or voluntarily turned over by it's officials and confessions of Mcnamara are to be submitted. Many witnesses from cities in which explosions have occurred have been subpoenaed.

ALLEGED SPIES GET HEAVY SENTENCE EmplOye of German. Naval Shipyard Sold Valuable
 Secrets

Leipsic, December 13.-Seven years of penal serviture was the sentence imposed on Max Schulz, an English ship
 broker, convicted today as a spy. An engineer named Hipsich. one of Schulz s
 men, was condemned to 12 years in
 jail Engineer Wolff was sentenced to
 jail for two years, while Schulz's house. keeper and a merchant named Won Maack were sentenced for three years It is believed, as shown during the trial. that Schulz succeeded in obtain ing from his employers valuable docu- ments bearing on German naval se- crets. It is believed Schulz was con
 nected with an institution whose activ- ities covered all important European ship yards and arsenals
 The judge in sentencing the accused said their arrest had broken up group of spies whose activities were danger
 ous in the highest degree to the safety of the empire. Hlpsich particularly
 who had been 12 years an engineer ir a naval ship yard, was able to collect
 designs and information from all the German yards. This he delivered last January to agents of an English in formation bureau thus exposing Ger Imany's most important military secrets
 Max Schulz had organized, accord ing to the judge. a network of spies throughout Germany.
 The severity of the sentences, which
 have to be served in a penitentiary and not in a fortress;s as is usually the case Indicated how gravely these cases Oi espionage are regarded.

CUMM|NS URGES SPEEDY ACTION
 ~e-,, Wants Bill Passed Num4y ing Tobacco Trust
 Decision

ur.sbiroton December 13.-Senator
 cummins of Iowa in a speech today urged
 sneedv action on his bill providing for
 review by the federal supreme court oi the decree of the United states circuit court for the southern district or NC" York approving the reorganization or 'ne
 American Tobacco company.
 ue said. "The welfare of the people
 and wants of Congress imperatiVeiy re- ouire that this decree shall be reVle"eu bv the supreme court in order that we
 nav know whether this decree Is all
 that the antitrust law will do for the
 reonle n Until this act is determined, he said the present business uncertainty must continue.
 MT. Cummins said that not withstaho- ing the supreme courts decision the dls- solving of the American Tobacco com
 pany has been based on the fact that tbe tobacco business had been so large lv controlled by the one company that
 the control of the affairs of the com
 many would continue largely in three holding companies--the American com
 many. the P. Lorillard company and the I Ijsaett & Myers company owning $213,-
 oOo OoO of the entire s23S, 100000 of the old American Tobacco company. oThe same men who owned the Ameri-
 can Tobacco company own these three companies and own them in the same
 proportion that they owned the old com
 pany." he said "so that they will con- trol the business under the new arrange
 ments as completely as they controlled if under the old order, If 1t was un- lawful for these men to concentrate the business so completely as they did It is giving the people stone instead
 of bread to permit these new orders to contnue. st He declared the other il companies were owned by the same people who
 owned the three, "so that the only re- suit achlved will be to make the admin istration more inconvenient"
 Expressing regret that the attorney general had not appealed from the cir
 cult courts decision. MT Cummins ad- mitted that without explanation. the su- preme court of the United States was
 incapable of granting an appeal in the absence of a motion by the attorney gem eral Hence the necessity for legisla- ton.
 The circuit court. he said, had disre-
 garded and nullified the order of the supreme court He believed the court had a right to higher courts operation.
 No action was taken on the bill.
