COPPER TO STAY HIGH.
Metal Al Sold Up to July I at
Old Price.

The present price of copper will be maintained
until at least the end OF june according 10 the
statement made yesterday by the president OF
of the copper mining companies. In speaking OF
the conditions existing in the metal market he said
that the producers had sold all the copper they
could until July l. These sales he explained, were
made some time ago when there no idea of
any break In the price OF the metal and quotations
were 1T high level
The consumers VINO bought tho metal Tor manu-
faCturins said. had, of course based the prices
for their finished product high priced copper
and for this reason producers could not hOnOraby
lower quot ations now, though deliveries called
FOR a time beyond June 30. without at the same
time reducing the price to these consumers, VINO
perhaps paid top prices fer the copper they are
now receiving. II practically impossible to do
this ne declared therefore talk of lower prices
at this time seemed all out Of place. He added
that it was difficult to say what the prices of the
metal would be after the middle OF the year. when
new commitments win be required.
An official Of a lake copper producing company
gave hts opinion OF the situation follows; Il

would meet here to-day Tor any such purpose It
was also learned positively that T. Il. Kellogg

The basis Of the rumor the fact that there
will be a hearing to-day in the Federal Building
before one OF the examiners of the commission
OF complaint Of the New York Team Owners

The Interstate Commerce Commission itself will

GERMAN FLEET COMING?
Report of Visit of Foreign Ships
Emperor TO Evince His Regard
For Uncle Sam

Recent reports that some sort Of
amicable understanding existed be-
tween the United States and Germany
were revived a few days ago, says
the Baltimore American, in a rufnor
that the German government would
send feet TO visit ports in this
country as an evidence Of friendship
and regard.
At the Navy Department there was
marked Teticencee and ell Inquiries
were referred to the State Department.
Onicials there declared, however. that
they had not heard Of the rumored in
tenti0n OF Germany, and at the Ger
man Embassy Baron Speck Won Stern
burg, the Kaiser's ambassador, said
be had never heard word to Indicate
that his government would send iieet
To American waters.
In spite Of this negative information,
however, several circumstance have
contributed 10 support the growing
belief that the present era Of good feel
ing that exists between the two pow
erg has n more substantial foundation
than mere absence of anything TO
quarrel about.
There are people in Washington who
hint that they have knowledge that
there have been exchanges of scme
character between Emperor william
and President Roosevelt. That any
formal understanding exists between
the two rulers is doubted, bat on the
principle that where there is much
smoke there must be a little fire, those
who have heard the talk Of an entete
and have applied il To the significant
decision of this government TO leave
its Atlantic seaboard entirely unpro-
tected from foreign ATTACK, are not 10
be dissuaded from their theory by the
pooh-poohs Of officials.
1.-The greatest safeguard against war
with a certain European power Is the
retention Of the feet in the Atlantic, +"
has been a cant saying in Washington
until yeIy recently. II is not beyond
the fact 10 say that this was the
prevailing sentiment in naval circles.
That Emperor William Will take
some striking means Of showing his
present friendship for the American
government, such as sending fleet
TO our waters, is regarded as a strong
probability. lie has indicated in his
general attitude desire 10 be on the
most amicabIe relations with the
United States and whether or not
the President and the Emperor un-
derstand each other the fact has not
been lost on the lesser officials Of the
government that there has been a
marked change that existed between
Berlin and Washington.

A STRONG THEME
Attraction at Colonial Theatre For
Tomorrow Night

The Woman in The Case" in
which Helen GTantly is TO appear at
the Colonial Theatre tomorrow night,
presents one Of the strongest themes
possessed by any modern drama Of re-
cent years and entirely accounts for
the great success il achieved In New
York. whence ii comes here with a
record Of six engagements at six sepa-
rate theatres including a phenomenal
run Of four months at the Herald
Square Theatre.
Here IS the pitb OF the plot: 4 wife
mast prove her husband innocent of a
murder with which he has been wrong
fully and yindictiyely charged.
There is but one way--tO win the
trBth out Of the woman who is bis
chief accuser--a woman Of the town.
To learn that truth she must insinuate
herself into the woman's confidence,
play upon her weaknesses, externally
live her life, persuade her finally TO
the telling Of the tale that shall
prove that the murder was really a
suicide. The wife is all regOiutc de-
votion. The other woman is all vim
dictiyeness, working through low
cunning.
There are two acts Of preparation.
The third secs tie two women race
"a face. There is hint Of the wffe's
repBIsiOn toward all that her effort
brings upon her, another Of the chief
resolution that upbeaTs her. Then the
last battle begins. The tide Gibbs and
flows. THE wife learns this. learns
that, but the truth she seeks eyadeg
her. Then she begins 10 play upon
the wOman's yindictiyeDegs. Inch
by inch they near the confession. At
last it comes.
The wife springs upon her half in
triumph, half in wild relief from all
that she has endured. The scene, cx-
cept for few moments, In which
the attendant men are dismissed, Is
all stark emotion and stark suspense.
There IN no sparing Of what Is the
fashion to call unpleasant details,
but these details serve the point by
bringing the spectator into closer touch
with living emotions In vital conflict.
