COPPER VALUES DOWN
TO A SELLING BASIS
Producers and Consumers Have
Reached an Agreement as to Low
Level of Prices for
Copper

AS has been frequently predicted, says
Boston dispatch. copper producers and
consumers have reached basis of agree
ment and as a result the price of differ
ent grades has been materially reduced,
with resultant sales running on to mil
lions of pounds. New prices agreed upon
by buyers and sellers are: Casting, Hc;
electrolytic, 22c; Calumet and Hecla, lake
brand, 23c.
At the latter figure Calumet and Hecla
has already sold several million pounds
and is preparing to sell for domestic
consumption covering the next quarter
United Metals and Phelps, Dodge & Co.
have reduced price, and large sales of
export electrolytic have been made for ex-
port Phelps, Dodge g. Co. say:
1.-THE reduction to u cents we believe
will represent the bottom level. Indica-
tions favor an advance for the next month
or two covering future sales rather than
a. further decline. We have received large
orders of copper on the new price basis,
When the in-rush of new orders is over
we expect the next to move toward
higher level. The metal exchanges whose
prices are considered nominal, as related
to big selling agencies, have made sharp
reduction on all grades"

EGYPTIAN PRINCE HERE
TO STUDY SOCIOLOGY
SAYS AMERICA IS TEACHING HIM
MUCH
Descendant Of Armenian Kings ls Him.
self an Unassumlng Young Man
and Speaks Several Lam
euages FIuently

Prince dAbro Pagratide of Egypt,
descendant of the Armenian kings, Is at
the Alexandria hotel for a few days,
having arrived Saturday night from San
Francisco.
Los Angeles is one of his stopping
places in tour of America, which he is
making for the sole purpose of studying
social and economic conditions. The
prince is an unassuming young man, his
only boast being that for many years his
family has been prominently identified
with affairs of state in Egypt and sur
rounding countries. He is well scooled
in political affairs and speaks several
languages f1uently, including English.
"FIaving toured Europe" said the
prince, where picked up great many
modern ideas, l determined to continue
my studies in this country. Here I have
learned within a short time as much as
I could have gathered in many months of
European travel. 1 have been greatly
interested in the Pacific coast cities, es-
pecially San Francisco, which 1 was very
anxious to see I was astonished to find
that so much has been accomplished in
the way of re building since the disaster
of last year.
"And in other cities, notably Los An
geles and Portland, I have admired the
good sense of the population in provid-
ing magnificent parks and public resorts,
free to all, the wealthy and poor alike.
1t impresses me that America is not,
after all, solely a country of CONNER
cialism. There are many nations in Eu-
rope that should follow the example Of
your liberal municipalities"
Prince d'Abro Pagratide Is travelling
alone and will remain in Los Angeles
long enough to view the various attrac-
tions in this vicinity.

in Hiding In Los Angeles While
Experts Work on His Doc
tored Accounts

John Peterson wanted in San Fran
cisco on a charge of embezzlement, Is In
Los Angeles, according to Information IN
the hands of the local police department
and officers have been instructed to ar

rany of that city. During the last year
| he has been working as collector, ana
each month large sums of money passed
| through his hands.
About a month ago Peterson failed to
report for duty and experts were put to
work on his books. When they report
ed their findings to the manager 1t is
! said to have been found that great deal
of the money Peterson had collected from
| customers had never been turned In but
had been devoted to the collectors own
use.
Lived Beyond Income
A warrant was at once secured for pet
| erson's arrest, but when detectives went
| to serve it they learned the man had left
| the city.
Representatives of private agencies
were then engaged and soon learned Pet
erson had lived beyond his income after
| taking the position of collector, accord
ing to word sent to Los Angeles.
| He was said to have entertained Law
ishly In the expensive quarters ne MAIN
tanned and had passed great portion Of
his leisure with women of the half
| world.
| Just how much money was taken by
Peterson has not been learned, as ex-
perts are still working on the books of
the company and will probably not COM
plete their duties for another week.
Peterson is described as being 80 years
of age; inches tall; weight $50 pounds;
dark complexion; black hair; smooth
shaven and to have Jewish cast OF
features. When last seen he wore a

According to information in the hands

for himself for Los Angeles the day be-
fore he disappeared, and it is thought
he is now here.

STATEMENT CONCERNING
THE RAND ESTATE SUIT

Upon her return from New York to
make legal defense to suit in the pro-
bate court concerning the will of her
late father, Mrs. Charles w. Rand pre-
sents her side of the case and her atti-
tude in the matter. Referring to let
ter addressed recently to her attorneys
published at that time in The Herald
Mrs. Rand makes the following additional
statement:
This letter contained the words: I author
ize YOU to renew, on my behalf, this offer,
with or without the concurrence of my mother.
In order that may not appear to be inconsist-
ent or arbitrary etc. To make this language
perfectly plain, 1 will elaborate 1t. The full
meaning here implied is that my own oiter lir-
respective of the one that my mother once
made and then withdrew upon the refusal OF
her son to accept our Joint offer for his bene-
ft), would result in securing to him. during MS
lifetime the receipt of the larger part OF my
own income from the estate. 1t would, IN 1act
give him a life income amounting to ABOUT SiooO
a year, which, together with valuable gifts
from his father in the way of farms, house
and its furnishings, ETC.. certainly places MIN
in a good condition financially.
Now as to my mother: Instead or belnB
left penniless,' as has been so recklessly
claimed by her and her biased companions, sne
was given by her just and generous husband
will. drst a life interest in the handsome Will
shire boulevard home, with its entire contents
worth not less than 100000 home that Win
bring a rental of approximately S4OO month";
and next a monthly payment out OF the estate
funds Of s40O Besides these liberal allowances
INV mother has a considerable private income
~ her own derived from property left her by
bar cr,nnled son Harry, which property, con-
sis+inp of valuable lands, ETC., was given 10
hino bv nv father, but which Harry suose-
uuently left to his mother

YOUNG MCENDLARY
PURSUED BY POLICE
ESCAPES FROM OFFICERS IN
GLENDALE HILLS
Eighteen-Year-old Boy Believed to Be
Guilty of Starting Most of
Grass Fires In the
Northwest

Hidden away in the brush beyond Eden
dale Kenneth Mitchell Is evading the Off
GERS of the law who are searching to
bring him to book for nearly score of
offenses which he is believed to have
committed.
Mitchell is an 1S-year-old boy and it is
he who deliberately started the brush fire
on Sunset boulevard yesterday in respond
Ing to an alarm of which Driver Charlie"
Anderson of No. hose company was
hurt.
Young Mitchell lives in the vicinity of
engine company No 20, and 1t Is believed
by the fremen and the police In that
neighborhood that he is guilty of start
ing every serious brush fire which has oc-
Cured in the northwestern section of the
city within the past two weeks. Whether
this suspicion be true or not the firemen
are certain of his guilt of the offense of
yesterday afternoon.
Within a half hour after Driver Ander-
son had been hurt Battalion Chief Casey
from fire headquarters had secured evil
dence which showed Mitchell was guilty
of starting this fire and he ordered his
arrest.
Boy Eludes Officers d.
ACCOMPANIED by two firemen a patrol
man went to young Mtchells home Al
the officer and the firemen went into the
front gate of the dooryard Mitchell
lodged out of the back door and climbing
the fence took to the tall weeds in the real
of his home.
A small boy yelled this information to
the officers and pursuit was started. Used
to the bypaths and tunnel-like trails
through the high weeds the boy made
better progress than his pursuers and he
had soon gained the Echo park district
and was making for the Glendale road
beyond.
Trace was got of him here, however,
and by taking a short cut the patrolman
and firemen, now Joined by two or three
citizens, came within sight of the flying
boy
They endeavored to head him Off but he
again gave them the slip in the hills and
the last trace of him was west of Eden
dale, where he was seen going through
the brush and still making his way
toward Glendale.
The township constable and deputy
sheriff were told of the case ana they
Joined in the search.
The officials of the fire department pro-
pose to make an example of young Nit
chell when he is caught.
The majority Of the brush and grass
fires, they claim, are deliberately set by
boys for what they call the fun of seeing
the department turn out.
Thousands of dollars worth of property
has been destroyed by fires within the
last two or three weeks and great deal
more endangered, and the fremen have
been given some of the hardest work of
their lives to extinguish these fires.

ARIZONA EXPECTS TO
BE FIRST IN COPPER
Editor Kelly Talks of the Great Ter
ritory and Its interests

Editor George Kelly of Douglas, Ariz,, is
in the city on business connected with his
newspapers and will go to Catalina this
week for few days rest.
Mr. Kelly and his son, william b.
Kelly, and others have recently purchased
the Tucson Star and an afternoon paper
at Phoenix, so that they now own -FOUR
daily newspapers, including the morning
paper at Bisbee and the afternoon paper
at Douglas.
In conversation last night Mr.. Kelly
said:
ARIZONA has never been so prosperous,
enterprising and progressive as now, and
there are ample indications that this year
will show Arizona in the lead In the
production of copper. Last year we were
second only to Michigan, but l think we
are going to break the record.
There is some apprehension that we
may have to renew the joint statehood
fight next winter, as some people are
seeing signs indicating that the admins
tration at Washington continues bit
restless over it's defeat in the statehood
matter last year. AS long as the question
is submitted to the people Of Arizona we
are all right, as the joint statehood people
only represent 13 per cent of the voters,
but we wouldn't like to engage In battle
conducted entirely in the city of Wash
ington.
I'VE still think that Arizona is entitled
to all the fairness accorded every state at
the time of admission, and we insist that
we should not be saddled up with New

POSTAL CARD PRINTER
PAYS VISIT TO CITY
Albany Man Who Turned Out Millions
of the Cards for the Govern
nent Here on Pleas
ure Trip

Carrying the distinction of having been
for many years one of Uncle Sans most
important contractors, c. c. Woolworth,
millionaire of Albany, N. Y, is spend
ing a few days at the Alexandria hotel.
Mr.. Woolworth has retired from active
business affairs, but until a few years
ago, when a special act of congress gave
the printing of all postal cards into the
hands of the government printing de-
partment, it was Mr.. Woolworth's es-
tablishment in Albany which turned out
the little one-cent conveniences for the
postoffice department-and turned them
out by millions.
1t is said by acquaintances of Mr..
Woolworth that he might have had the
contract for many years more, but he
respectfully declined to turn out the
grade of postal card now in use, which
his firm regarded as vastly inferior to
the card formerly used.
Mr.. Woolworth's trip is one of pleas
ure only. He is accompanied by his wife.
