MIAMI BOLsTERING
UP CONFIDENCE.

The following is from the Miami
Record Herald:
New Capital Coming TO Miami
Investigation extending over a per-
iod of ten days proves that the Mi
ami Mining District is not only max
ing substantial progress in the way OF
ore production, with stronger indica-
tions each week Of still better prices
but new capital is coming in at a rapid
rate. Several sales have recently been
made to strong financial concerns and
many new deals are pending, the price
to be paid aggregating hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. This is signi-
ficant and means that good mines are
going TO be bought and sold on bus
mess basis; the day Of stock -jobbing'
and wildcatting has passed.
Among real estate dealers 1t is
learned that healthy tone is evident;
that new money and new men are
seeking investment in Miami proper
ty One real estate firm reports that
$50, 900 has been sent them with which
to "pick up bargains" in choice city
property. Certain mine operators are
in touch with capitalists who want to
know when the Bottom" will be reach
ed, as they want to pick up a good
mine when the right time comes. This
only goes to show that capital is not
frightened over a little so-called
slump" in mining activities. 1t proves
that men with money and sound busi-
ness judgment believe in the district
and stand ready to buy when prices
are right. With SIS ore, good mines
will sell at prices never before thought
of. Just ordinary, out-of-the-way
properties, will not attract attention.
Capital is looking for real mines.

For War "Objectors'
Penalty of From 10 to IS
Years Suggested to Baker
by Investigators
(Sneciol Di.pntch TO The Tr,bun.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Conscien-
tious objectors, who refuse non-com-
blatant service or show a defiant spirit
to obstruct the nations preparation for
the war, will not be temporized with by
the War Department if Secreatry Baker
approves the recommendations of the
special board named to deal with men
who refuse military service.
Sentences ranging from ten to fifteen
years Imprisonment have been recon-
mended by the board, it is understood
in its report, now before Assistant Sec
retary of War Keppcl for consideration.
From Secretary Keppel the report will
go to Mr.. Baker
The board, composed Of Dean Stone,
of Columbia University; Judge Mack. Of
the Chicago Juvenile Court. and Ma or
Stoddard, of the judge advocate gen
erals department of the army, has
completed the personal inqusition of
over 1,200 conscientious objectors in
the military service. More than half
of them have accepted -combatant
service in the medical, quartermaster
and engineer corps. A majority of the
remaining GOO have signifed their will
lngness to accept furloughs TO do farm
work. There still remains a number
to assist in the military service, and
these, with others, who have actually
been court martialled, will be recon-
mended for prison terms of from ten
to fifteen years.
The decision of the board to recon-
mend a maximum penalty of fifteen
years is said to have followed the &C
ton of President Wilson in the case of
Brent Dow Allinson. Chicago pacifst
whose recall from post in the Berre
Switzerland, legation, was due to in
formation of his pacifst tendencies

Tribune.

service when called by his draft board,

sentenced to life imprisonment by the

In the contract given the American
fubber Company there was clause
Incorporating section 1878 of the re-
vised statutes which recited that the
company could not transfer the con-
tiact or any part of it to any other
concern. This concern, according to
the investigators, did sublet part of
It's contracts.
The situation created in Washington
through the inability of the low bid
ders to get contracts, gave Felix
Gouled the opportunity to approach the
unsuccessful bidders, and was the
means of entangling Captain Vaughan
into the situation, where he accepted
money from Gouled. In all the officer
said he only received about $4,000
