By Publishers Press.
Boston, Feb. 3.-Thomas w. Lawson,
copper magnate and author of Frenpa
zied Finance is one of the very few
who share a secret that bids fair to
revolutionize the commercial world ,g-or
he is one of the most beautifully hood.
winked men Of the country. This secret
issthe explanation of the extraordinary s
stand which for a year past he has
taken with reference to copper metal
and copper stocks and the basis for hiss
predictions that the price of the metal
would drop to a figure lower than any
that has thus far been recorded. Not s
| only that, but he went SO far asstos
predict that it would remain there 49, e..
Part of the secret has leaked out
1t relates to discovery by asDr. Alex
ander Shiels of Glasgow, Scotland, by
which it is claimed that commercial
! copper can be manufactured at a cost Of ;
two cents per pound. just how this re.
suit is obtained is a mystery, but ordi- :
nary low grade iron ore is said to be th6s
basis of it. DR.. Shiels is said to have
1 discovered method Of disassociating
iron ore into certain constituent parts
and by placing them in conjunction
with other elements, producing copper
at price not greater than that already
| quoted. Lawson is not doing mafcha
talking in regard to the matter. When
reporter brought to him the rpmor
that he was in some way connected With.
this new discovery and that this was
the mysterious secret upon which he.
based his predictions to the world, he.
refused to discuss the matter. ys.
DR.. Shiels has been interviewed yip,

London, Feb. 3.-The first-class long
distance passenger is slowly but surely
disappearing from British railways,
greatly in consequence of the increased
popularity of the automobile. Practi-
cally every company with a terminus
in London is at present faced with this
problem.
In the last half year: the Great
Eastern railway carried 37,235 first
class passengers less than in the prev
ious corresponding period. This re-
duced traffic was most marked in re-
lation to New Market and other
sporting centers, the conclusion being
that many persons who would other
wise have Travelled to those places with
first class tickets made the journey in
automobiles. X
Automobile competition, I am
afraid, is likely in future to assume
very serious proportions, said Lord
Andrew Hamilton. at the half-yearly
meeting of the Great Eastern com.
pany. ..,- -~ -. ..r,,..r,l H..
One disagreeable feature is that
these people would undoubtedly have
travelled first class so that the com
pany lost the most remunerative por
| ton of their passenger receipts. With
the exception of the London & North
| western and Great Central, all trunk
line railways running into Londor
have lately experienced considerable
falling off in receipts from first class
passengers, the Great Northern AM
Great Western in particular suffering
from the loss . si-c

SOUTHERN TOURISTS IN PERIL

New Orleans, Feb. 3.-Twenty-five per-
sons had a narrow escape from drowning
here this afternoon in the collapse of a
temporary gang plank leading to the deck
of the German cruiser Bremen, allowing
them to fall into the water. Only the
quick action of an officer and num-
Der of sailors made it possible to rescue
all the victims. Most of them were
tourists who wished an opportunity to
look over the cruiser. Five, women and
twenty men and boys went into the
water.

ion. should be taken to end one of
the great social evils Of the day. He
has indicated the character OF the
views he entertains In the following
statement:
There Is a widespread conviction
that divorce laws are dangerously
lax. and indlfferently administered
in some states. resulting in a dimin-
lshing regard for the sanctity OF the
marriage relation. The nope is en-
tertained that cooperation among
the several states can be secured to
the end that there may be enacted
upon the subject of marriage and d.
yorce uniform laws containing all
possible safeguards to the security
OF the family"
II Is evident the president shares
the view OF leading lawyers of the
senate and the house that the gem
eral government is without consti-
tutlonal power to legislate on the
subject OF divorce. II will be the
duty OF the state. therefore. to en-
act a model law or approve an
amendment TO the constitution ac-
cordlng to congress the right to
regulate marriage and divorce.

HALF FARE RATES
CASH OR TICKETS
Mayor Yeiser's Position In Re.
gard to Street Railway.
CONSTRUCTION OF ORDINANCE.

The joint railway committee OF the
general council and Manager John s.
Bleecker, OF the Traction company
met last night 10 consider the charge
OF more than half fare for children be
tween the ages of and 2 years. and
after a lengthy discussion the matter
was left TO Mayor Yeiser. who will
suggest some arrangement by which
school children can procure half fare
tickets from different places in the
city. At present II is possible to Sc
cure them only at the traction com
pany's Office.
In the matter of recommending the
traction company a franchise to ex-
tend It's tracks out Broadway to Nine
teenth street and then to the Mayfield
road, the committee acted favorably,
the company agreeing to stand the ex-
pense OF widening the MI and filling
in low ground.
The matter Of keeping fiagmen al
the Tennessee street and Broadway
crossings Of the Illinois Central and
the depot crossings OF the ~ G. Il St.
L., was referred TO the mayor for set
tlement.
Mayor Yeiser already has instructed
the street railway company TO sell half
fares TO children. and has ordered the
railroads TO comply with the crossing
ordinance.
Although he favors the idea Of
the traction company placing half
fare tickets for school children on
sale in different parts of the city.
Mayor Yelser will not release the
company from the duty of accepting
three cents in payment of cash fare
from school child.
He announced his position this
morning. when the matter was
preached TO him.
Il think II would be a great con-
venience both to the street railway
company and the patrons. II half
rate tickets were placed on sale in
different sections of the city," he
said, but that does not absoive the
company from accepting three cents
as fare for a school child, who
boards a car without a ticket. Inc
fact that two tickets can be pur-
chased for a nickel where as it
would cost six cents cash for the two
trips. should be an inducement for
the children to secure tickets.
81 will be glad to confer with the
street railway officials. but can
construe the ordinance but one way.
and that is that the company can
charge children only half fare"
