MILES DEATH QUIZ
DROPPED BY u. S.
Diplomat and Economist VIC
tim of Natural Causes, JUS
tice Department View.

Convinced that Basil Miles, diplomat
and economist, died of natural causes,
Department of Justice officials and the
district attorneys office have dropped
their investigation into the circum-
stances surrounding his death.
More than a score Of witnesses were
examined during the inquiry by Neil
Burkinshaw, an assistant district at
torney, and Department Of Justice
agents. Physicians told investigators
Miles had died Of blood clot on the
lung.
A statement from the department
said: mot a shred of evidence has
been obtained by the department to
suggest that Miles died Of anything but
natural causes, or to justify further in
quiry, and so far as this department
is concerned the matter is closed.
The former Mrs. Miles now is the
wife Of H. H. Rogers, Standard OH
magnate. She was with Miles IN his
room in Emergency Hospital when he
died two years ago.

TRIANGLE CHANGES
TO Be CONSIDERED
Secretary Mellon Holding
Conference With Archi-
tectuaI CONSTANTS.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon and
members Of the board of architectural
consultantS this afternoon were expect
ed to consider several important changes
which are proposed in the program ior
developing the so-called Pennsylvania
avenue-Mall triangle.
The board has been in session for two
days going over many phases Of the
principal changes suggested, and 1t was
expected that the situation would be so
shaped up this afternoon that with the
Secretary, himself, in conference con-
illusions might be reached.
Among the principal new develop
ments are the exchange of sites for
the Department of Justice and Ar
chives Buildings: and a building for
the PoStof1ce Department, instead Of
four independent establishments on a
site Immediately west of the present
department. Plans for a large meeting
hall between the new buildings for
the Department of Labor and Inter-
state Commerce Commission also are
under consideration. The New Depart
ment Of Commerce Building has a sub
stantial meeting hall, but 1t is known
to be Of limited capacity. President
Hoover himself Is known to favor a
hall up to 1000 seating capacity in the
triangle for general use by govern
mental gatherings.
The board Of architects was in con-
sultation all morning with Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury Heath, in
charge OF the public program.

"FINIS" WRITTEN IN WANT AID
TO MINING TOWNS LURID STORY
Notice Given That Colorado Company
Which Involved Bloodshed and Millions
Will Be Dissolved.

History in the San Miguel country
was made almost overnight. Telluride
Was founded. Other miners came and
other mines were opened. Men grew
rich and lost their wealth at the gam
ing tables.
ingram sold the famed Smuggler In
1888 after extracting fortune. The
new owners, British syndicate, oper-
ated the mine for number Of years and
then leased it.
The Smuggler- Union then appeared.
It was owned by Whitney and H. w.
Livermore Of Boston and the latter's
son, Robert F. Livermore, became the
company's chief engineer.
One Dividend in 80 Years.
III luck pursued the company. It paid
only one dividend during the 80 years 1t
operated, despite the fact that millions
were reported to have been taken from
the mine.
Labor troubles arose in 1901 and the
governor Of the State threatened to mo-
Billie the militia after bloody encoun-
ter there. Arthur L. Collins, mine man.
ager, was shot by an unidentified assas-
sin In 1902. For many years activities
at the mine diminished and finally
erased altogether. The Smuggler-Union
Is now abandoned.
