BINGHAM, Dec. l4.-The bulkhead
cutting of Raphael Lopez from the low.
er workings of the Utah-Ape1 mino will.
be placed in the Andy incline early to-
day This means that all work by the
miners in the Andy tunnel will cease
today.
Members Of the sheriff's force and
others engaged in the man hunt are
reticent about discussing tho plans for
today's operations, but it is learned on
reliable authority that the plans include
bulkh eading the incline.
Superintendent V. 8. Rood yesterday
objected to the closing of the upper
workings Of the mine because Of the
fact that some very valuable ore is
now being taken from these workings.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Atha Williams,
Thea Schweitzer and DR.. L. Z. Straup
went to Salt Lake yesterday by auto
mobile and conferred with q O. Ed
wards, counsel for Sheriff Smith, to
learn what the sheriff might do IN the
event the company persisted in its OBJ
lection TO closing that part Of the tnine.
Mr.. Edwards informed them that the
sheriff had the power to do whatever
he deemed necessary for the protection
of the public and could order the mino
closed IL he chose 10 do so.
Will Confer Again.
Representatives OF the sheriff will
confer with Superintendent Rood early
today, and it is believed that he will
give his consent to closing the mine. IT
he does not do so, 1t is believed 10 be
likely that the sheriff viii order the

can Mr. Rogers's story of twice en-
the Mexican in the mine is
believed and it has had the
effect of making everyone connected
with tho man hunt doubly cautions.
The story of Mr. Rogers, as printed
in Tho Tribune, was corroborated yes

OF the Utah-Apex mine; Shoriff Smith,

lcan forces TO assist in the drafting OF
a comprehensive platform 20 be pre-
sentcd to the proposed national con
vention and to form the ground work
for the Republican fights for 1914 and
1916. If the national committee de-
cjdes Tuesday to call the special party
convention, 1t is expected that the
proposal for q new platform will dom
mate party activity during the ensuing
weeks.

ing in Washington in anticipation Of

HadIey to Attend.

Former Governor Hadley Of Missouri
will reach Washington Monday and a
meeting will be held then Of the special
conciliation committee OF Progrcssives
and Republicans appointed at Chicago
last spring which has been foremost
in pushing the campaign for party re-
organization, While this committee
probably will have no representative
sitting as n member of the national
committee Tuesday, it's views will be
fully presented.
Senator Cummins, leader of the
Cancellation - forces, today said he
favored the proposed national couyen-
tion adopting new party platform,
"providing it agrees on a thoroughly
progressive platform"
''If it is to adopt q reactionary
platform, 1t was Of course proper that
it do nothing he snid.
"The interest surrounding Repub-
lican gathering was intensified today
when Senator Gallinger. Republican
leader of the senate, injected presiden-
tial politics into the discussion by

The only check to an inflated cur
rency, Senator Root contended, was In
tho hands Of federal reserve board,
appointed under the snme influence
that put into this bill these false the
ories, and bound to proceed in accord
ancs with them"
The bill was defended by Senator
Pomerene Of Ohio, who opposed Wig
orously the proposals for public owner
ship and government control of the
proposed regional banks, and declared
the bill would relieve any financial de-
preston now existing.
Will Vote Tuesday.
After numerous conferences Of infor-
NAL nature at tonight S session, ten
tative agreement was reached to begin
voting on the bill in it's final form De-
cember Is, next Thursday. 1t was stipu-
lated, however, that tho agreement
should specify tho legislative day, thus
allowing an unlimited extension Of the
time in order to accommodate Ell sena
tors desiring to present amendments.
An agreement for g vote on the leg
islative day Of December IS probably
will be presented for unanimous consent
on the floor on Monday. Democratic
leaders predicted that the bill would be
passed before next Saturday.

on the bill presented an amendment

than ten days, General Villa demanded
from merchants $l,500,o00 in gold as a

for which he would pay them in So
