Temporarily sidetracked from the

runG down on it's active work at least

The grand jury was inactive yester.
day as far as the acknowledgements

to turn elsewhere, they were met with
the emphatic statement by Neil Burkin.

Beyond this, Mr. Burkinshaw would
say no more. Whatever develop.
ments or lack of developments are
recorded during the week will be ac-
counted for as a matter of policy on
the part of the United States attor-
ney's office. The subject of ihdict-
ments is exceedingly delicate both
with Maj. Gordon and his youthful
aide. and neither would confide in
closest friends what the future policy
OF he Office would be with respect to
formal charges.
One outstanding inference was left
by Mr. Burkinshaw and this was bv
way OF contradictins rumors reaching
the courthouse that the lull in the
grand jury proceedings the past few
days was indicative of the fact that
no indictments would he forthcoming.
With respect to this. Mr.. Burkinshaw W
stated that the Government has
plenty of evidence" and will use it
as it sees fit.
Several days ago Maj. Gordon an.
nounced that the investigation had
been completed and no more witnesses
or testimony would be heard. Yes
terday. however, II was stated ttla'
more evidence and witnesses may he
presented this week. An atmosphere
of confidence permeated the United
States attorneys office and every one
concerned with the investigation
showed plainly that he was not to be
rushed.
Friday the hearing on a complaint
issued against Sheldon Clark of Chi
cago, vice president of the Sinclair
Refining Co, and charging efforts to
influence the trial jury in the Fall'
Sinclair case is due to be held before
United States Commissioner Needham

Government plans to take in this mat
ter, Burkinshaw replied he could not
say until Friday came. Clark Is under

be returned by the grand jury before
that date. the hearing may not be

MANY FEDERAL CAME
 REFUGEs IN THE J. 5.
TWO FEDERAL BIRD REFUGES WERE CREATED DURING THE
 PAST YEAR

RACINE, Wis, Feb. II. (P)-The last report of the Chief of the Bureau of Bilogical Survey discloses that the U. s. Department of Agriculture now has the responsibility for administra- tion of 72 federal game and bird re- servations, including the bird refuges established by executive order.
 The federal big game refuges were established for the purpose of pre- serving certain bands of buffalo, elk and antelope, and have served the purpose we'll. Some of these refuges are over-populated and the surplus must be disposed of by sale or other wise. During the past year the gov- ernment has received s24,24665 from this source. There are now 1,53O animals on federal refuges. Four of these refuges are fenced.
 The greater number of federal re- serves are bird reservations estab- lished by executive order These are located so as to afford protection to nesting colonies of both game and non-game birds which would proba- bly be exterminated without such protection. Two federal bird refuges have been created during the past year.

HUDsON's BAY AGENT
 IN ROUTE ID WINNIPEG

His first view of coastal waters for over three years, V. W. West, inspec- tor of the Hudson's Bay company in the western Arctic division, and who is now at the Van Glider hotel prior to leaving for the south tomorrow night en route to the company's main head quarters at Winnipeg, is enjoying the change very much.
 MT. West arrived at Fairbanks from Klavik, on the delta of the MacKen- zie river, last Saturday, making the long overland journey in slightly more than month. He has eight posts under his charge and maintains his headquarters at Herschel Island. From the island, which was left Mo- vember 1, MT. West went to Klavik, distance of 16O miles. From the latter point he journeyed down the coast to Kittigazzuit, thence back to Klavik, and on January 4 departed for Fairbanks
 Fur is not plentiful in the Arctic region, he said, and all catches are small. MT. West will not return to his Arctic headquarters via this route, but by way of the Mckenzie river, by which route the company generally ships supplies.
