NEW YORK, June 1.-At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Amalgamated Copper company today
James Stillman, president of the Ma
tional City bank, retired from the
directorate of the company
Benjamin B. Thayer, John D. Ryan
and john Bushnell were elected direc-
tors to succeed Mr.. Stillman, George
H. Church and j. +. Judson. The
resignation of Mr.. Stillman Is in line
with his policy to retire from many
corporations in which he has been a
director.
The financial statement of the COM
pany shows a net increase for the year
ending April 80 of $6,680,55 a decrease
of $7,473,S43 as compared with the
previous year and a surplus for the
year of $525,041, a decrease from that

duced in the calendar year 1907 from
their own and custom ores about 212,-
100000 pounds of refined copper, of
which amount the Amalgamated COM
pany received the benefit from about
S,O00,000 pounds.
After reviewing the depression in the
copper business last fall ana winter

the surplus stock of copper had prac-
tically disappeared and the mines of
the different companies are now being
operated at their fullest capacity.

ACTOR DROPS DEAD WHEN
FIRE ALARM Is SOUNDED
Blaze Starts in Cleveland Theater, but
Every Member of Audience Gets
Safely Out of Burning
Building

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June Eugene
Jepson, aged SO, of New York, leading
man in a vaudeville sketch at Keith
theater dropped dead of heart disease
in his dressing room this afternoon
when an alarm of fire sounded. No
one was injured among the audience
as it filed out of the building while the
.fchestra continued playing and the
actresses then upon the stage proceed
ed with their work.
Firemen dragging in their hose
simultaneously with the departure of
the people apparently added no ex-
citing influence.
The fire is said to have originated
in the apartment where the moving
picture machine was being worked.
Two patrolmen saw the flames before
the smoke began to pour into the audi
torium and turned in an alarm. Man
ager Daniels walked to the front of
the stage and asked the audience to
depart without confusion, but the
warning was almost unnecessary.
The fire was eXtinguished after DAM
age amounting to $4,000 had been done.
Actor Jepson is said to have been
Ill of heart disease for a long time.
He was in his dressing room when the
alarm came. Jepson started for the
door and tainted. A physician was
called, but Jepson was dead.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Denying them
selves the honors and privileges of So
ciety, Misses Adelaide and Vivian
Walsh, daughters of John r. Walsh,

Miss Adelaide Walsh took up a course

of his patients. She was private nurse

OREGON'S NEXT
SENATOR WILL
BE DEMOCRAT
LATE RETURNS FAVORABLE TO
CHAMBERLAIN
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE MUST
VOTE FOR HIM
Prohibition Is Believed to Have Car
ried in Nearly Every County
in Which 1t Was an
Issue
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 1.-Indica-
tions late tonight point to the election
today of solid Republican legislature,
which at the same time will be morally
bound to elect Democratic senator to
the United States senate. This unusual
situation is reasonably certain to be
the result of today's state election.
The majority, if not all, of the candi-
dates for the legislature pledged them
selves to send to the United States
senate the choice of the people as ex
pressed by the popular vote today for
senator.
Although figures which have been
received up to midnight are too meager
to base reliable returns upon, all indi-
cations point to Governor George F.
Chamberlain, Democratic candidate
for United States senator, as being the
popular choice. He has carried Multi
nomah county by 1000 over Judge Hen
ry M. Cake, the Republican aspirant to
the senate.
w. B. Ellis, Republican, has been re-
elected to congress from the Second
district over J. w. Jeffry, Democrat,
and w. c. Hawley has carried the
First district.
Prohibition, it is believed, has car
ried in nearly every county in which
IL was all ISSUE.
OF great Importance, but almost COM
pletely overshadowed by the election of
a United States senator, was the sub
ject of prohibition which was voted on
in three-fourths of the counties of Ore
gon today.
The statute provides for the submis-
sion of the option of prohibition, either
by precincC or by counties as a whole.
Once passed upon the decision of the
electorate must remain in force for two
years, when the question may be re-
submitted.
Twelve counties voted on the liquor
question two years ago, eight passing
| the prohibition law. In one of the
| eight. the law was nullified by the
courts. OF these twelve counties the
four "wet' counties and one of the
dry counties did not vote today.
In seven the question was resubmit-
ted, and in seventeen the question was
submitted to the voters for the first
time.
Besides these, there were precincts in
1 two other counties which decided the
question today, making a total of
thirty out of thirty-three counties of
the state in which the sale of liquor
may be wholly or partially prohibited.
In three counties the prohibition
question has never been raised.

old notes belonging to various national
banks, and these will be used as re-
CURED until new notes are printed and
seasoned, ready for issue. 1t is prob
able that 1t will require six months to
change all of the plates used by the
$50 national banks, but 1t is expected
that some of the new issue will be
ready for delivery by July 1 next. Sew
eral matters connected with the new
issue are still under discussion, one of
the most important being the denom-
ination of the notes, but it is thought
that the smaller denominations will be
issued first, as each autumn there is a
heavy demand for small notes, espe-
cially from the west ana south. AS soon
as the department is ready to supply
the new notes in any quantity required.
no further issue of the present notes
would be made, the present notes being
destroyed. as fast as they reach the
treasury for the redemption and the
