COPPER PLANT
SHUTS DOWN

BY SLUMP
Every Man In company's Employ at
Coram Is Dismissed, with Excep-
ton of Few Who Care
for Machinery
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
REDDING, Oct. 21.-In obedience to
orders received yesterday from Boston,
the Baklala Copper company, at Coram
stopped construction work today on the
big smelter now nearly completed at a
cost of million dollars.
Every man in the company's employ
ment was dismissed, save enough to care
for the machinery yet arriving. All ac-
counts are to be closed and nothing will
be done towards completing the smeltel
or reopening the mine until the copper
market Is more favorable.
The town of Coram, with population
of 1900 was thunderstruck at the situa-
tion 1t was expected that the smelter
would, start before January 1. Now the
opening is put off indefinitely until cop
per is selling higher. So far the furry in
the copper market has made no difference
in the copper camps of Kerwick, Kennett
and Ingot, where the smelters are run
ming as formerly, and there is no talk
of shutting down.

You know I'm long way from home, George,

he'd have two sets of articles drawn up one

FROM PRIZE FIGHTER TO
PREACHER IN ONE YEAR

OMAHA, Neb., Oct H.-From prize
ring to pulpit inside of a year is the
remarkable record made by Kid Wedge,
once the welterweight champion of the
west, now pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Barnston,. Neb.
Less than twelve months ago Wedge
fought his last fight on sandbar south
of Omaha, losing because his strength
had been undermined by dissipation.
Last June he finished his first year at
the University of Nebraska, from which
he will graduate in two years more, then
he will devote his life to evangelistic
work, principally among the men who
used to be his companions and friends.
In a letter to the Omaha Daily News
Wedge says:
'The public thinks that a prize fighter
has not a very strong grade of intellect
ual force, but always tell them that the
greatest knocks the fighters receive come
from those who never talked to boxer
in their lives.
''It would be well for ministers and
those would-be reformers to get acquaint-
ed with these so-called human brutes,
as little information on the subject
might help them greatly to change their
minds.
''I have been criticised by professed
Christians for the foregoing statement
They say they cannot believe that I
would fall SO low as to defend such peo-
ple.'
II may use strong words, but strong
words are needed to wake UP some min
listers to the fact that instead of preach
ing against these men they should get
down from their pulpits and get ac-
Quainted with them"

VICKSBURG, Miss, Oct 21.-After a.
fortnight spent in the canebrakes and
looking bronzed and vigorous, Presi-
dent Roosevelt paid short visit to
Vicksburg this afternoon.
The president arrived at Delta, just
across the river, at 1 p. m. He was
met by the steamboat Belle of the
Bends with reception committee of
100 representative citizens on board.
The president Immediately embarked,
and followed by dozen boats, yachts
and other sraft made his entry into the
city. The bluffs overlooking the river
were lined with people who gave the
chief executive hearty and noisy well
come.
President Roosevelt entered the for
ward carriage and with Mayor Griffith
and Stephen d. Lee headed the parade
which passed through the principal
streets to the national cemetery. The
streets were densely packed with peo-
pie, who cheered the visitor at every
opportunity.
At the corner of Cherry and Clay
streets the procession was halted and
Gen. Lee, commander-in-ch chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, told the
president that several hundred Union
and Confederate veterans stood before
him and desired that the chief execu-
tive ShOuld meet the old warriors. The
president arose in his carriage and cor
daily shook hands with the old
soldiers.
Arriving at the National cemetery the
presidents party drove slowly through
the burying grounds, the president evinc-
ing lively interest in the historic place.
From ths cemetery the party drove to
the courthouse square, where an immerse
crowd had gatehred to hear the speech
making. President Roosevelt was intro
duced by Congressman John Sharp Will
Jams. When the president arose to reply
the big crowd accorded him noisy
demonstration that lasted several
minutes.
Immediately after closing his address.
the president and party were rapidly
driven to the Yazoo & Mississippi rail-
road station, where special train stood
in waiting. At $50 p, m. the train pulled
out for Memphis, where the president is
scheduled to arrive shortly after mid
night.

UNION rs DENIED
RIGHT TO STRIKE
COURT MAKES INJUNCTION PER-
MANENT
Pressmen's Organization Is Also Re-
strained from Paying Benefits
to Men Who Walk
Out
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.-The temporary
injunction against the melting of strike
by the International Pressmen's union
for an eight-hour day was made perma-
nent today by United States Judge
Thompson, who held that such action on
the part of the union officials would be
breaking valid contract. The injunction
was sought by the United Typothetae
of America and certain publishing con-
Germs in New York, Chicago, st. Louis
and Massachusetts to prevent the defend
ants, officers and members of the press
mems union from melting and carrying
on a strike, which as in effect the
breaking of contract entered into last
May and running until June 1, 1909
According to the contract, the press
men were to have a nine-hour day unit
January 1, 1909, when the eight-hour day
was to go into effect. but the union had
demanded the immediate acceptance OF
the eight-hour day.
When the case was argued ten days
ago the defendants raised the question
of jurisdiction and the complainants
moved to amend the petition in certain
respects to eliminate parties not indis-
pensable to the suit, which motion was
sustained today, the court holding that
1t had jurisdiction in the case.
That the demand of the international Of
ficers for an eight-hour day prior to the
date agreed on was violative of their con-
tract was the opinion of the court, but
he said the men as individuals could not
be enjoined from striking.
One of the points sought by the petition
was to enjoin the paying of strike bene-
fits. The attorneys for the union pleaded
for the benef1ciaries of the strike fund,
but the court sustained the petition, and
the injunction as issued forbids the pay
ment of strike benefits or any action by
the officers of the union that would In
cite a strike in contravention of the con-
tract.
