BREAK IN COPPER
is SERIOUS THING
TO SOME HOLDERS
Low Record Is Established and
Large Quantities of Stock
Are Unloaded at Almost Any
Price Obtainable.

NEW YORK, July 23.-There was a
day, the industrials being the most af-
fected, but the railway list, including
number of high-g grade issues, suffered
in sympathy. A number of causes con-
tributed to today's. break. In addition
to adverse crop reports and further
wild speculation in cotton and build
ing trade failure created a feeling of
alarm.
The break of 5A points in Amalga-
mated Copper is rather more far-reach-
ing than is generally supposed. Much
of the stock was purchased outright at
prices fully 90 points above today's
quotations and the shrinkage today
was as a last straw to many holders.
Large quantities of copper were thrown
overheard at practically any price that
was offered. Boston, according to all
accounts, was forced to let go at least
10000 shares and the same doubtless
applies in a lesser degree to numerous
places. Sales Of Amalgamated Copper
aggregated over $4,000 shares, out of a
total days business of 650,000 shares.
Some new low records were regis
tered today. The list embraces besides
Copper, United States Realty Colorado
Fuel, Tennessee Coal and Rock Island
common. This by no means covers the
ground Net declines of to points

USES HIS ONE ARM
AND TEETH TO ESCAPE
Train Robber Climbs Blanket Rope to
the Top of High Wall.

Special to The Globe.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, July %
Benjamin w. Starnes, alias Stratton, a
one-armed train robber from Oklaho-
ma, escaped from the federal peniten-
tiary at Fort Leavenworth early this
morning. Starnes dug out of the Crank
house" into the prison yard and then
climbed blanket rope to the top of
wall twenty-five feet high by using
his teeth and one arm. The marks on
the blanket rope show he used, his
teeth.
Starnes is the train robber who put
ON a false arm and held revolver
with it in holding up train. He tried
to show at his trial that he was not the
right man because he had only one arm.
He has not been captured.

RUSSIANS FEAR
LOSS OF THEIR
FAR EAST EMPIRE
Rather Alarming View of the
Manchusian Situation Is Pre-
sented Why Japan and Rus
sia Think They Must Stick.

LONDON, July 23.-The Daily Mails
Toxic correspondent sends a rather
alarming review of the situation in the
East. He says that Russia's retention
of Manchuria, the increase of her fleet,
the dispatch of her troops to Man
churia, the southwark movement of
the occupying army in Manchuria and
the defiant conduct on the Korean
frontier alarmed the japanese, many
of whom are convinced that it would
be better to fight now than risk the
eventual loss of Korea and the relega-
ton of Japan to a secondary place.
He says the Japanese are accumulat-
ing stores and negotiating the pur-
chase Of ships; that squadron is off
Vladivostoek, to which port Russian
vessels have been sent as precaution,
and that both fleets are ready for ac-
ton at any moment. He says the ST.
berian press reveals the aggressive
spirit of the Russian military party;
that the Russians believe they will lose
prestige if they give way now, with
the result that their far Eastern en-
pire will be lost and Japanese infiu-
ence will become predominant.
The appointment of Marquis Ito as
president of the privy council is fa-
vorable to peace. but Russia must re-
treat or there will be very grave dan
ger of war. He says the Japanese be-
lieve that France and England will
join in the expected conflict which,
diplomatists at Toxic think, might, if
once begun, continue for years, in
volv;ng disastrous results to Japanese
finance and the creation of sort of
Balkan difficulty in Korea. He adds
that confidence is shownsin the Anglo
japanese alliance.

there is serious disagreement as to it's
method. Men of equal or similar rank
as authorities have presented to him
widely different plans. In his message
to congress the president will make
general, rather than specific, recon-
mendations. He is anxious that all of
the experts should arrive at some COM
mon ground between now and Novem-
ber.
There will be called together in Sep
tember a representative body to con-
slider currency reform similar to that
organized by Mr.. Hanna, of Indiana,
seven years ago, to discuss the estab-
lishment of the gold standard. These
conferences will start with the propo-
sition that the secretary of the treas
ury should be permitted to deposit
customs receipts directly in designated
national banks and that the security
for these deposits should not be linz
tied to government bonds, but that Sc
curities of the class that savings banks
are allowed to accept should be recog-
nized. To this there will be opposition.

GRANITE FALLS, Mimi, July 23.--
There are no new developments in the
case Of the negro Scott who attacked
Miss Olson. The reports as to the diff
1iculty at Minnesota Falls station oc-
Cured only in the imagination of a
correspondent. There was nothing to
justify any such statements, except
that the officers turned back at that
place because it was understood mob

lynching the prisoner. This report was
probably fake. One man met the
train at Minnesota Falls and he knew
nothing of the prisoner being there and
could not, and probably would not
have done anything if he had.

There was crepe on one of the cages

During the night 100000" the

miliar acquaintance with two of the

Poor little fellow I couldn't even

Ohage yesterday. He was quite a

Probably no one feature of the pub
lie baths has ever proved so popular
as the "zoo," which DR.. Ohage has been
enabled to establish through the kind
ness of citizens, who have been keep
ing him busy accepting tenders of ami
mails.
Yesterday youngsters and adults
thronged the walks in front of the
cages, and it was with difficulty that
they were kept moving and others
given chance to secure a view.
A Belgian hare, with a dozen tiny
youngsters, and the cub bear received
from DR.. Archibald are the most pop

| WILL PUT MILLER IN
AND TURN HIM OUT
How the Administration Will Get
Around Government Print
ing Office Row.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. July "a
President Barrett, of the local Book
binders union, today called on Secre-
tary Cortelyou and Public Printer
Palmer and submitted affidavits sup
Elementary to the communications all
ready filed with those officials regard
ing the case of W. A. Miller the as
sistant foreman whose reinstatement
was ordered by the president. These
affidavits relate to the charges which
formed the basis of Miller's expulsion
from the union, and as to his actions
during his incumbency as assistant
foreman. A decision by Mr.. Cortelyou
is expected in few days. Mr.. Palmer
said today that so far as now could be
foreseen Miller, who is in Minneapolis,
will resume work.
The communications sent by the
union to Secretary Cortelyou and
Printer Palmer are identical. In them
the union insists that Miller should
not be reinstated and urges as the
unfitness, which, they say. was the
cause of his expulsion from the union
and which the bookbinders claim was
thoroughly investigated and proved.
Mr.. Miller is on his way to Wash
ington to answer the charges. In the
letter which he sent to the president
some weeks ago, he said:
Il have been prosecuted for the last
eight months by some or the bookbind-
ers for having furnished to the post
office department, in the line of my
official duty, samples of cheaper
binding on certain work, as requested
by the department, which would have
saved to the department on orders on
hand $2,500, and would indicate an an
nual saving of $4,000. I am victim
of conspiracy"
While in Minneapolis Mr.. Miller said
Public Printer Palmer prevailed upon
him to rest up for fifteen days in
order that he might take official cog
nizance of the action of the union and
thus be relieved of embarrassment.
THE binders were after my scalp"
said Mr.. Miller to a friend, because I
had reported to Mr.. Palmer that two
of the members of the union had
been interfering with the work and
objecting to my cheaper process OF
binding. At the request of these men.
Mr.. Palmer had me transferred to an
other division in violation of the civil
service law, and thus indorsed the
walking delegate system in the gov
ernment bindery."
Later on his resignation was enforc-
ed because, as the foreman charges,
the binders union had found that he
had furnished former Congressman
Heatwole a copy of the testimony used
by the union when Mr.. Miller was on
trial.
If the public printer had required
reasons for Miller's dismissal from the
union, and had held an investigation
and dismissed him from the govern
ment employ for the good of the serv-
ice, there would have been no contro-
versy.
1t now appears that Miller is to be
reinstated and later dismissed for the
good of the service In order to allow
the administration to accomplish it's
object without recognizing unionism.

Get Diseased Horses Into Min

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 23.-S. II.
Ward, of st. Paul, state veterinarian
