Purchases Option
 On SmeIter

BENSON, Jan. ll.-Halstead Lind sey, who is working the Arizona United Mines, at Johnson, has taken an option to lease and purchase the smelter property at Benson. now owned by Doan and H P Merrill
 It is understood that tie smelte- i'll by rebuilt and put into operation in tie near future. The ore from the large mines at Johnson will be shipped here for treatment, and the large slaS dump now on the property and which carrie $ big values will also be worked.
 The putting in operation of this smelter will mean a big thing for Ben son and vicinity. It will not only em- ploy a large number of men but will be a nucleus around which many big mining industries will be developed The Johnson mines are the largest in immediate vicinity, and their output alone would be sufficient to warrant the operation of the shelter perman- ently.

u. S. HAS WATCHED
GERMAN INTRIGUE
Phases of Charges of Spy Work
Here Familiar to Depart
ment of Justice.
[From The Thbuns pure.u.l

Washington, Aug. 15.-Investigation
Of phases of the charges Of German in
triGue in this country, made by "The
New York World" to-day, has been
going on for some time by the Depart
ment of Justices Secret service" or
bureau of investigation. Attorney Cen
eral Gregory and Chief of the Bureau
Dielaski declined to discuss the case to-
night, but it was learned that several
OF the points made in the charges had
been under close scrutiny.
As a matter of fact, it was stated, all
the charges mentioned had come to the
attention of the special investigators OF
the department, but some OF them were
so obviously beyond the reach OF the
Fedora! authorities, IN that they ana
not conflict with any Federal laws, that
nothing was done about them. On
the other hand, the department has
been active in the passport fraud IN
vestigation and has kept an eye on the
other activities of German agents, so
that if their acts could be construed as
a breach of neutrality prosecutions
could be made.
Many of the details of the charges
have been matters of rumor for some
time. President Samuel Gompers Of
the American Federation of Labor,
while not mentioning the Germans
specifically, declared recently in an in.
tc.view in The Tribune that agents of
countries interested in checking the eX-
port CT arms and ammunition had en-
couraCed the strikes in Connecticut and
elsewhere and had attempted TO bring
about strikes Of longshoremen and sea-
rnen.

JAPAN SUSPENDS
GERMAN RIGHTS
Trademark, Patent and Other
Industrial Design Privileges
Taken AWAY During War.

Toxic, July 25.-The Supreme Court
Of Japan has ruled that as a result Of
the war between Japan and Germany
the international convention for the
protection of industrial property is
suspended in its operation. The prac-
teal effect of the decision is that
trademark rights, patent rights and
other industrial design rights held by
German subjects or German companies
previous to the opening of the war
are to be considered as eXtinguished
or suspended in their effect Cor tie
time being.
The court pointed out that the on
vention for the protection of industrial
property, which was made in 1913, n
not be said to become absolutely md
permanently imperative because of the
outbreak of hostilities between Japan
and Germany. II noted that several
other powers are parties to this con-
vention. However, as between japan
and Germany it was proper think
the convention is suspended in its oper
alton from the time when war broke
out between them until such time as
peace shall have been restored.
The judgment of the Supreme Court
is interpreted as permitting the publlc
TO make a free use of trademarks and
patent rights regardless of any rights
held by German subjects or German
companies previous 10 the war.
