 The charge was based on the dis covery among his papers of an in- surance policy which the soviet police mistook for an discriminating docu- ment. Groeclose said that while he was in jail, 92 political prisoners were shot in reprisal for the assassination of a bolshevik commissar.

TUNNELS \ MENACE
 TO CREWS oF TRAINS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-.-If you are inconvenienced by smoke and heat entering your railway car the next time you go through a tunnel, think of the men in the engine cab and be happy. For, says the Bureau of Mines, the heat to which trainmen are subjected not only ranges as high as 136 degrees but the smoke and moisture laden atmosphere is filled with deadly carbon monoxide gas.
 The bureau recently conducted a series of tests in railroad tunnels in connection with investigation into ac- cident causes. Out of 40 tunnel trips whose duration ranged from Az to exhaust gases from the engine were source of great danger
 Exhaustion of train crews due to trips through these tunnels was said undoubtedly to be the cause Of many accidents. Results of tests over De- riods of ten minutes in engine cabs showed that the conditions there would bring exhaustion or suffocation in 20 minutes, in case an engine be- came stalled.
 While the bureau has experimented with gas masks for the use of cab crews and has perfected a small res pirator for quick use in going through tunnels, it has been found the most satisfactory method of overcoming the fumes is by supplying fresh air to train crews from the air brake system supply of which is led to each man thru a small rubber tube with an or held close to the face.

is purely disinterested, and iti should and does outweigh any opinion which may emanate from the editor of the Times or the Chamber of Commerce.
 Only time will tell whether not the big companies have the cream of the locations in the Cold Bay field Being first, they nat'lr ally took what appeared to them to be the choicest, but they do not even now, control all of the choice ground and but a tithe of the claims that may bring enormous returns to those who drill upon them. The fact that drillers in the employ of the Standard Oil Company in the Cold Bay field, men exper fenced in the old game have taken options on ground in that field, thrown up their jobs and have gone to the States to finance drilling thereon gives the lie to the statement that the big companies have all the oil bearing ground than can mere words.
 The Cold Bay oil field gives promise of be- coming a big producer of the very highest grade of petroleum. There are still plenty of permit holders who are located on good ground who will either attempt to sell their rights or finance drilling operations. The put ting of money into the field is a speculation pure and simple. If it wins it will pay big If it fails to produce in any particular in stance it will be but a repetition of what has occurred in every oil field in the world Sc attle doesn't need 'blue sky' law to protect its citizens from Alaskans.

BILLION AND
 HALF INCREASE IN SAVINGS

CHICAGO, Feb. 16. Savings de- posits in the United States increased by about $1,50O,0O0,0OO in 1922 as con- pared with 1921, according to prelim- mary figures tabulated by the Savings Bank Division of the American Bank CTS Association and announced here through district headquarters.
 The figures show that, compared to reported savings deposits on June 30, 1921, of $16,61S,695,0 ,000, the amount for the corresponding date in 1922, was s1S,OS7, ,493 ,OO0.
 The number of savings accounts in- dicated by the partial data in hand was 2S,957,526 on June 30, 1922, as compared to 26,637,S31 on the cor responding date in 1921, gain of g., 314,695. For both the amount of sav- ings and the number of depositors, later data of states from which com plete returns have not yet been re- ceived are expected to show larger gains for 1922.
 According to this rport school sav ings system reported deposits of $5500,000 during the last school year, an increase of 40 per cent over 1921 and 100 per cent over 1920. The num- Der of school systems also increased by over 100 per cent during the last school year, and the number of pu- pills reported as participating was l. 271OOO, a growth of 50 per cent over the previous school year.
 The data collected by the Savings Bank Division indicates that life in surance not including beneficial so- cieties or the government bureau, now carried on American lives totals more than $50,0000 100000. Premiums on new business during the year end ing November 1, 1922, amounted to $225, ,980,000 The total premiums, in cluding the payments and annuities, paid during the year, amounted to more than $1 300, 100000. The amount of new life insurance purchased dur ing the year 1922 was $9,300,000, an increase of $600 0000,000 or per cent over 1921.

FIRE RESISTANT METAL GIVEN
 UNIQUE TEST

CHICAGO, Feb 16. - The correct composition of cement blocks to give the highest fire resistant qualities is being studied at the fire underwriters laboratories here, at the request o1 cement manufacturers.
 Tests which have been under way for some time cover many different mixtures of cement, sand gravel and other materials. In the tests walls composed of several kinds of blocks have been built up in front of gas furnaces and subjected to five hours of intense heat, reaching 2075 degrees at the end of the period.
 Through electrical heat recorders, cemented with the blocks themselves, and measuring devices on the out side, the engineers have traced the effect of heat changes on the various materials. The walls usually buckle somewhat under the heat, the center curving in toward the fire, due to the expansion Of the inner S1de'
 In some of the tests, after live hours of baking, the red hot wall has been subjected to five minutes or cooling under a two inch fire hose The sudden cooling splits the tiny gravel in the outer surface of the block, bushels of fine particles flying through the air, and leaving the sur face pitted as though under a sand blast. Despite this treatment the walls have still stood. The blocks withstood heat so intense that the surface of the bricks surrounding the test walls turned liuuid and flowed down the frame work.
