While European managers are dis eussing ways and means of withstand ing what they call the "Conried Per- il,p MT. Conried has his own troubles with the Concert Peril' that con- fronts him.
 Just as he secures European stars of the first magnitude by offering them larger emoluments, so do the American concert managers secure the right to book them for concerts after successful debut The praises of these singers are so loudly sung in the newspapers that the whole coun- try is eager to hear them; hence, how ever large a figure MT, Conried may offer a prima donna, she is apt to re- tort: T can make $500 a night more by singing at concerts, and with more appearances
 This explains why some of the most prominent singers have left opera all most completely. Madame Schu- mann-H Heink; for instance, sang in eight opera performances last season, while her concert appearances number ed 124. In visiting eighty-two cities she travelled 4S000 miles. In some cases her receipts nearly reached $6,00O, surpass- ing the records of Patti and Jenny Lind. This coming season, schumann- Heink will again devote nearly all of her time to concerts, one of which is to be given in this city. She is now booked for 100 concerts and only eight opera appearances and for the latter she will receive $1 1000 for each appear apce the highest fee ever paid to any contralto. But still, as the critics of the New York Evening Sun said re- cently: "Schumann- -Heink Is one 6f the seven wonders of the world"

THE SMASH:
 IN COPPfRS
The Lowest Point in Years
 Reached
It Is Conceded That the Supply is Far In Excess Of the Demand.

New York, Sept. 12.-The Amal- gamated Copper company is about to shut down its mines at Butte, Mon- tana. for an indefinite period. From an interest closely identified with the company it is learned that the suspen- sion of operations is due to over pro duction and lack of demand for cop Der and to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient fuel at Butte.
 According to the authority for the announcement there is now surplus supply of 2J0.000, 900 pounds of refined copper in the United States. The present price quoted in the market Is about IS cents a pound for electrolytic bu: according to the authority referred 10 it is doubtful if 15 cents a pound could be obtained for any considerable quantity. Today's quotations on the stock exchange was the lowest in years.
 Henry Rogers, president Of the Amalgamated Copper company, Is now i'll at his home at Fair Haven, Mass. Counsel for Mir. Rogers announced in court in Boston today that Mir. Rog- CTS would not be able to appear there in a suit in which he is interested, for at least three months.
 Sanction is given the report on the exchange of the intended shutting down of the copper mines of Montana. The futility is admitted of piling up further stocks of copper with the buy ing demand paralysed.
 Amalgamated Copper naturally de- clined in the circumstances breaking to the neighborhood of 50 with rumors in circulation of a cut in the dividend in prospect.

THE GREED EXIOLltD BY
 GATHERED SOCIALISTS
Only by Their Doctrine Can the World Be Made What It Ought to Be.

Buffalo. Sept. Els Socialism a Threatening Calamity?" was the gen. eral topic discussed today by the American Social Science association. Dr. A. F. Weber of New York spoke on labor legislation; w. J. Ghent on international socialism" He said that petty changes for the public bet terment had been made here and there by non-socialistic efforts. But he de- nied that any general improvement of the condition of the working classes or any general advance of society had been made in America in twenty years.
 John Martin Sedy of the department of social economies in an address on Industrial Democracy at Home and Abroad" declared that America was moving steadily toward socialism: that in Idaho, Wyoming and Utah the greatest industries were social indus tries and that millions not for social ism but ito the gallows with social ists" was the slogan in some parts of the world.
