Girl was led downstairs to the sheriff's
rooms.
The Jury took four ballots. On the
first one there were ten votes for the
verdict which was later returned. one
for not guilty and one for manslaugh-
ter. On the second and third ballots
the manslaughter vote came into line,
and on the fourth the jurors We're
agreed. Both District Attorney Weeks
and Attorney Dempsey for the defense
expressed themselves as perfectly sat
isfied with the verdict.

COPPER DIVIDEND CUT.
Quincy Mining Company Finds Falling
Off in Business

NEW YORK, August 29-Thc first divi-
dend reduction TO be made by any of the
great copper producing companies as a re-
suit of the falling prices of the metal came
yesterday with the announcement that the
Quincy Mining Company had declared a
quarterly dividend of 500 share, a re-
duction of 500 from the dividend paid for
each Of the last two quarters The present
dividend restores the rate to the basis of
last falls dividend.
In explanation of this action by the
Quincy company, which has a capital OF
S1.2Jo, 80 and which includes in its di-
rectorate such weli-known copper men as
Cleveland ii. Dodge of the Phelps Dodge
copper interests and W. Z. Bliss. President
Todd of the company said that the directors
decided 10 act conservatively and for that
reason had made the dividend $50 share
instead of S4.JO the amount last decIar d
as a dividend. The directors decided that
there were grounds for believing that the
consumption of the metal was falling on
and that ii was difficult just now to tell
with certainty what the future of the cop
per market was to be. Under these Condi-
tons it was considered part of wisdom
TO act cautiously.
President Todd said that there had been
no cut In prices but admitted that orders
were coming in with less freedom, a state
inert which Is true, of course. of all the
big copper producing companies. So far
As the Quincy Mining Company itself was
concerned 1t was said definitely that 1t
earned considerably more than the dividend
declared and could have easily made a
larger distribution If il had not been Tor the
conservative policy OF the company The
Quincy company's output is about lS,UOJ, tOO
pounds yearly.
Wall streets interest in the matter was
due 10 the fact that the Quincy company
which was established in 1913. is one of
the oldest copper companies, and can pro-
~ = nj htlll
cents a pounds. A great many of the other
copper companies are unable to produce
copper cheaply as this and the fee ing
was that II the Quincy company, with its
ability TO produce cheaply, felt 1t necessary
to reduce dividends with copper at its pres
ent prices. a good many of the other COM
panies would have to follow suit sooner or
later.
