HIDES IN MINE; :, .4.
USING SULPHUR
Poisonous Fumes Sent Back Through
Workings and 1t Is Expected That
Man VIII Make Break For Liberty
This Afternoon.

Bingham. Utah, Dec. 1.-The final
effort with smudges in the Utah-Apex
mine to force out Ralph Lopez, the
desperado. who is making his last
stand. is being made today. All exits
but one are closed and sealed with
mud. With poisonous gases floating
back through the workings, it is ex-
pected the fugitive will make break
for liberty this afternoon.
A more dramatic setting for the
ending Of the career of Lopez scarcely
could be found. The mine is near the
top Of q precipitatous walled canyon.
From any of it's fifteen tunnel mouths
one could throw a stone that would
descend thousand feet before bot
tom was struck.
This afternoon the mouth and tun-
mel was stopped with bulkhead and
fumes Of sulphur smudges were di-
rected into the mine through the
oening. Unless Lopez attempted to
break out, it is planned to continue
the smudging two days.
1t is believed Mike Cranovitch, who
shot his wife recently, is also hidden
in the mine. He will be permitted to
surrender peacefully IL he comes out.
Lepss began his career of crime
November 16. and took refuge in the
mine Friday. -

by these gentlemen will therefore be
Of unusual interest.
Senator Newlands' plan would pro-

The naval building program Of the

These projects, coupled with the fight
for laws giving federal aid to the

unite forces that have been at work
for several sessions to secure such
legislation.
The new session probably will wit
ness more activity prior to Christmas
than any session Of recent years. Dem
ocratic leaders propose to hold the
senate to thirteen hour sessions. with
no Christmas vacation unless the cur
rency bill is passed before the time
set for the holiday. In the house.
meantime and effort will be made to
dispose of several Of the annual ap-
preparation bills before Christmas so
