FAIL TO FIND LOPEZ
Posse Searching Utah-Apex Mine Finds
No Trace Of Fugitive Desperate
Believed Slayer Of Six Men Thouoht
to Have Been Imprisoned In Work.
inss, Has Escaped.

Bingham. Utah, Jan. 3.-That the
man whose wits are as quick as his
trigger finger had escaped from the
Utah-Apex mine was the opinion of
those who searched today for Ralph
Lopez. the fugitive outlaw. Nothing
had been found SO far to indicate
whether the slayer of six men was dead
or alive in the workings where he took
refuge on Nov. 27.
A fresh posse that took up the hunt
in the network of passageways today
had nothing new to report up to noon.
So far the search has been confined to
the levels whore the desperate was
most likely to be found. Since yester-
day. when the mine was opened after
having been sealed since Dec. IA, about
twenty miles Of tunnels. slopes and in
clines had been gone over thoroughly.
On the shelf of the cliff where the
Andy tunnel rises a thousand feet above
the canyon floor a large crowd of curl
Gus miners. talking in dozen tongues.
awaited developments and bet on the
outcome. As the day wore on the odds
grew that Lopez had escaped Unit; III.
demands Of the takers grew prohibitive.
Sheriff Smith announced that ~
would require q week to search the
mine thoroughly.

d,sapproved OF washington's policy to-
ward Huerta, was that as the loan Of
1910 Is secured by 81 per cent Of the
Mexican customs and the loan Of 1918
by 80 per cent, 1t would be the duty
and privilege Of European govern
ments whose subjects hold the bonds.
to seize the custom houses by inter-
national landing parties and to collect
the interest themselves.
The bankers holding this opinion
also affirmed that the UNITED States
government could notblockade the ports
os Mexico without destroying the value
o. customs receipts nortgaged to for
eign bondholders.'
These arguments will be presented
again when the next interest and in
piallment falls due. unless the situa-
tion il much changed in the interval.
At the French foreign Office it is said
the government has no sympathy
whatever with these views.

LoosENiN0 OF GRIP OF MORGAN
CROWD FIFTH REFORM
RECOMMENDED.
ALL PUT INTO EFFECT
WITHOUT LEGISLATION
Much Speculation Over Whether or
Not Morgan Will Retire From United
States Steel Corporation - Younger
Morgan Greatly Impressed by Change
in Public Sentiment.

New York. Jan. 3.-The announce
ment Of the retirement Of J. P. Morgan
and thirty Of his partners from thirty
directorates and Mr.. Morgans refer
ence to the change in public sentiment
has called attention to the fact that
five important recommendations of the
Pujo committee wede already being put
into effect in advance Of legislation re-
Quiring them.
They include the abandonment Of
physical agency agreements such as
existed between the New Haven rail-
road and Morgan Company the aboli-
tion Of interlocking directorates, the
abolition of voting trusts. reforms in
the stock exchange, and reforms in
the clearing house.
Whether Mr.. Morgan will decide to
withdraw from the directorate of the
United States Steel Corporation was
the subject Of a great deal Of specula-
tion today. The general opinion was
that as the so-called trust was the
greatest Of the Morgan creations and
was considered by the elder Morgan tho
crowning achievement Of his career, tho
younger Morgan may decide to remain
identified with it in an active capacity
especially until the government suit
has been decided.
Morgan Deeply Impressed.
His connection with it dated from the
time Of Commodore Vanderbilt It
was thru Mr.. Morgan's influence that
English investors placed enormous
sums Of money in the securities.
The resignation of the president ].
p. Morgan from the New York Central
directorate was one Of the most sur
prising features of his announcement
yesterday.
His friends say he has not only been
deeply impressed by the change Of
public sentiment but had been deeply
srdoved over the critisism OF the firm
over the affairs Of the New York. New
Haven 4 Hartford Railway Company.
Lovstt Says "It Depends"
Robert L. Lovett. chairman of tho
Union Pacific railroad committee, in
commenting on the Morgan action. to-
day said:
II thing strong bankers on railroad
boards are very desirable. but II all de-
Ponds upon who represents the rail-
roads upon the boards"
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman OF the
Chase National Bank. expressed the
opinion that interlock1ng directorates
were good thing 50 long as they did
not result in unlawful monopoly.
II have found in my personal exper-
ience," he said. "that by being on the
boards Of certain corporations have
been able to get better knowledge Of
their financial conditions.
"Of course where the knowledge ac-
quired thru interlocking directorates is
used for selfish profits the custom is
to be decried.'

Copperfield, Ore, Put Under Martial
Law and Saloons Are Closed.
Copperheld. Ore. Jan. g. Martial
law was declared here yesterday by
Col. B. K. Lawton, superintendent OF
the state penitentiary. Five members
Of the coast artillery backed up the
proclamation.
This action followed a demand made
by Miss Fern Hobbs. private secretary
to Governor West, for the designations
OF naemberSs ofatha city counsel an6
other city Oficskls who aye accused o1
violating &n ordinance regulating sa.
looms.
When her demand was refused the
governors representative ordered
Colonel Lawton to place the town un.
der martial law. Then she boarded q
train to return to the state capital.
Colonel Lawton's small force began
operations by raiding the saloons. OF
which they took charge. The pro-
prietors were given until 4 o'clock this
afternoon to ship their bar fixtures and
liquors out Of the county on penalty OF
confiscation.
All Of the city officials were placed
under arrest and were held 'incom-
lmunicando." not being permitted to
communicate with attorneys.
The following are the demands made
by tho governor:
"First-For the resignation Of the
mayor and such members of the coun-
ell as are proprietors and employed in
and about any establishment dispens-
ing intoxicating liquors.
"Second-That until complete reor-
ganization of the city government car
be undertaken all saloons be closed
forthwith and be kept closed.
"Third-To prevent any possibility
Of liquor being sold that the stock on
hand be shipped out Of the city and that
it be delivered to the railroad station
for shipment not later than o'clock
p. M, Saturday. Jan. 3, 1914"
Two weeks ago Gov. West received a
protest signed by more than half the
residents Of Copperfield against alleged
law violations by saloons here. one OF
which was owned by the mayor and
another by councilman. 1t was
charged that liquor was being sold tc
minors and that closing hours were not
observed.
The governor called upon Mayor
Stewar, to close the saloons and he re-
fused. When Sheriff Rand also refused
to act, Gov. West sent Miss Hobbs to
take charge of tho situation.

dash about the city, robbing right and
left, was introduced in Pittsburgh last
night by the automobile robbers who
have been terrorizing the city for the
last few weeks. In order to prevent
their first victims from reporting the
fact that they were abroad on "joy
ride" of crime. the robbers picked up
each victim as they robbed him and
carried him with them on their trip as
an unwilling and helpless fare"

the chauffeur, ]. d. Scottdale. They
robbed him Of $6, bound him with
straps and threw him into the car
while they occupied the drivers seat
For nearly two hours they drove furi-
ously thru the east end
Their next victim was Charles E.
Succop. secretary Of the Independent
Brewing Company. whom they at.
tackled just after he had left q street
car to walk to his home. They robbed
him Of quantity Of jewelry, $50 In
cash and tore his cuff links from his
sleeves. Then they blindfolded him
tied him and threw him in on top OF
Scottdale.
A half hour later James G. Weldon
president Of the Weldon & Kelly Co.
contracting plumbers. was treated In
the same manner. He was robbed OF
$50 and .jewelry valued at several hun
dred dollars.
The robbers then drove to an out
lying district, threw their victims out
gave each 10 cents for carfare home
and sped away. The deserted car was
found later two miles from where II
WAS last seen by the victims.

Lind Returns to Mexico.
The president this morning took Mr..
Linds two sons, Norman Lind and
John Lind. Jr.. eight miles in his auto
mobile to the pier where they boarded
the Wdnona and went to the Chester to
bid their father goodbye. The Chester
was to sail before noon.
just q ~Gst-1oasthsr Talk"
The president referred to the confer
ence - "get-together talk" for mu-
tual information. He explained that al
tho Nr. Lind constantly had been send
ing full dispatches. conversation Of a
few hours had been deemed worth
more than weeks Of telegraphic COM
munic4tion. with the added value Of a
change Of viewpoint regarding the sit
ua&ion.
Prssfdsnt Wilson added that there
haA bsen no especial occasion for Mr..
Lind.1 visit-no advices, excitement OF
new questions.
The president said his conversation
With Mr.. Lind had covered the whole
\ Held Of conditions in Mexico. but no
particular plan had been dwelt upon.
No Msxieans Aboard.
When asked Il he was more hopeful
for speedy settlement Of the trouble
Mr.. Wilson made It clear that his per-
sonal view Of the situation has not
changed. He has held that the Huerta
regime IL slowly being crushed, not
only by tho rebels but thru isolation.
He smiled when told Of reports that
Huerta or some high Mexican officials
were on board the Chester. and said:
well, didn't see them IL they were
there"
The president said that while Mr..
Lind was not actually enjoying his long
stay In Mexico. he was perfectly will
Ing 70 stay there and was deeply inter-
ested in the situation.
Mr.. Wilson apparently attached little
importance to the Lind episode, point
Ing out that the proximity Of the en-
svoy, coincident with his own vacation
In lGississippi. had been az much as
anything else motive for the confer
ence.
The president laid emphasis on the
fact that nothing specific had been dis
cussed. He said the Chester would
leave for Vera Cruz this afternoon and
that Mr.. Lind would remain there in

was ordered away by the Chester's Of

President Wilson later in the morn

played eighteen holes. While there he
wasg told Of Mrs. Mezzisen's efforts to
