There seems to be little hope that Jack Conlev, who was reported in last week s Pioneer as lost on the Seward trail, is alive. No word has yet been received from Messrs. Colwell and Sourby, who left last week to search for him. and 1t may be a week or ten days before news will reach here from them Recent news tends to confirm the slight suspicion that there may have been foul play, but as yet nothing of definite nature has been heard.
 The latest development is the news brought from Takotna by Leo Clifford. He met 'Dad' Huddleston there, who had re gently come over the trail Mr Huddleston arrived at the Happy Creek roadhouse the same day that Conley and the party he was with left. He stayed at Happy creek two days. When he arrived at Anderson's s roadhouse he learned that MT. Conley had not yet arrived. He was the first person to pass over the trail where Conley was lost, and says he cannot understand anyone losing the trail, as the tripods were close to- gether and plainly visible. The night

CUCGENHEIn1 SYNDICATE

Washington. Jan. 29 After months of quiet investigation. the department of jus tice has concluded that it has sufficient grounds for suit to dissolve under the Sherman antitrust act, the American Smelling x Refining Company the SO called smelling trust It is not probable that suit will be filed immediately, but it is understood that preparations have gone so far that bill in equity is being drawn by department attorneys.
 It has become known that F. W. Leh- mann, former solicitor general of the Unit ed States, has been retained by the SO called trust, and it is possible that he will confer with the attorney general before the department files suit Mir McReynolds said today that he had no engagement with Mr Lehman to discuss the case.
 Suit against the smelting trust Is re garded here as of great importance ranked only by the Standard Oil and the Steel Corporation suits This view obtains not only because the American Smelling X Re fning Company and the American Shelters Securities Company, which it controls, have combined authorized capital of nearly s15, 100000, but because of the variety of activities of the two concerns.
