or LOPEZ is
CONCEDED BY SHERIFF

Bingham. Utah, Jan. 6.--All hope of
Ralph Lopez, dead or alive in the Utah
Apex mine has beer abandoned. Sheriff
Smith withdrew his searchers from the
inner workings and the guards sfrom
the portals leaving the mine unmatched
for the first time since November q.
After killing two deputies in an under
ground battle on November 80. making
six in all, he had killed within eight
days, Lopez called to his pursuers that
more than six men would have to
sacrifice their lives If they expected to
capture him. That he has made good
his boas by escaping, although no
more men were killed, Is conceded by
his pursuers.
Sheriff Smith declared that his sud-
den determination to abandon the
search vas reached only after he was
satisfied that the desperate either had
escaped or had been crushed to. death
beneath some cavein, which would pre-
vent his body being found. However,
many miners planned to begin a search
on their w account tomorrow, hoping
that Lopez's body was overlooked. A
reward OF 1000 is offered for his
capture or the recovery of his body.
Sheriff Smith said he had decided 1t
was useless to explore those parts Of
the mine previously gone over and this
was why he had given up the search
after the upper levels had been ex-
plored.

Washington. Jan. 5.-The action Of
Morgan & Co. in effecting a reorgan-

retire from a number OF di~rectorates,

here. 1t Is being carefully analysed
to find out just what it means in act

The. result of the scrutiny to date as
interpreted here, makes the retirements
of the Morgan partners from direct
orates less important than appeared

pears doubtful whether the power of
the great house is all deprecated by
its action.
