DECREASE IN COPPER OUTPUT.
Shelter Production in 1907 Shows
Record Reduction.

The despised copper cent. which in some
sections Of the country does not pass
current as money. bids fair, in time, If
present conditions continue. to rival in
value the gold dollar. which is accepted
and priced at its full worth everywhere
on EARTH
The smelter production of copper in the
United States in the year 1907 amounted
to but s6s SOC, 491 pounds, according to
the testimony of L. C. Grafton of the
United States geological survey. This Is
decrease of 4S,SO9. 191 pounds. or 90 Der
cent. the largest actual decrease ever re-
corded and the largest relative decrease
In the history Of the American copper in
dustry. 1t Is the first time since 1901 that
the annual production has been smaller
than that Of the preceding year, and the
first time since 1872 that it has been
smaller than the second year preceding.
The decrease of %, 263. 7S9 pounds in
the Montana output removes the laurel
Of first place from the brow of the heart
of the copper country, Montana, to that
OF Arizona. where however the output
was but 256. 49, 437 pounds. as against
262. 566. 103 pounds In 1906
This condition of affairs will not un-
likely force copper into the political dis
cussions OF the day along with gold and
silver. according to the Judgment of those
who are interested in the value of cop-
per. But more conservative observers
predict that this will not be for many
generations yet to come.

SECRET DIED WITH HIM.
Scientific Machine Constructed by
the Late DR.. Sleeves.

the Late DR.. Sleeves.
The remains of DIR. John w. Sleeves.
who died last Sunday. were today for
warded to Cambridge. Md. the old home
of DIR. Sleeves, where the interment will
be made.
w. G. Himrod, friend of DR.. Sleeves
for many years. in a letter TO The Star
voices the opinion that the latter was
upon the verge of a great scientific dis
covery when he died. and that only the
refusal of scientists to render him the
necessary pecuniary assistance caused his
early death and kept this discovery from
the world.
According to Mr.. Himrod DIR. Sleeves
began the study of the atom at about
the same time that Lord Kelvin. the
great English scientist began his studies
of similar tenor. DR.. Sleeves. Mr.. Him
rod says, arrived at the belief that the
atom is a ball and that all atoms whirl
about each other creating what he called
a ''vortexture."
Dr. Sleeves. this friend maintains
proved to himself conclusively that these
"vorteXtures' and centers control the
whole universe and hold ii in place. not
by the attraction of gravitation, but by
repelling each other
DIR. Sleeves constructed a machine Mr.
Himrod says. upon this theory which ahe
afterward used in treating cases. Ii was
because of the refusal of scientists of
the country. after this discovery and af-
ter the doctors removal to this city, Mr.
HimrOd thinks, that he went to his early
death. the secret of his machine going
with him.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL ROADWAY.
Representative Pearre to Introduce
Bill in Congress for Route.

Bill in Congress for Route.
Representative George A. Pearre of the
sixth Maryland district has enlisted in the
cause of the advocates of the construction
of a Lincoln memorial roadway from
Washington to the battlefield of Gettys-
burg.
Word was received in this city yester-
day from Frederick, Md, that Mr.. Pearre
has informed friend in that city that he
will. at the coming session of Congress-
introduce bill providing for the de-
termination of the route of the road If
constructed.
The route Mr. Pearre favors is from
Washington through the district to Rock
vile, thence through Gaithersburg, Ger
mantown and Clarksburg in Montgomery
county; thence through Urbana and
Araby to Frederick in Frederick county;
thence through Creagerstown and Thur
mont to Emmitsburg. and thence to Get
tysburg.
Mr.. Pearre. while admitting that this
route is not straight. contends that it is
nearly the line of march taken by Fed
eral troops in the civil war. while the La
fean route, he maintains. does not contain
one mile over which Union soldiers
marched.

BIEBER WILL FIGHT.
Questions Right Of Officials to De-
prive Him of Pension.

Sidney Bieber. who represents the Dis
trict Of Columbia on the republican ma
tional committee and who was formerly
fire marshal Of the District. is to fight
the action Of the Commissioners in drop
ping him from the pension roll for failure
to appear for discrimination
He claims they are without proper au-
thority to drop him from the rolls and
when seen at the District building today
after a talk with Commissioner West
about his pension Mr.. Bieber appeared
sanguine about the outcome of his fight.
He would not say upon what lines he
proposes to .base his fight. explaining
that he has engaged Attorney A. A. Biz
ney to prepare his case.
Mr.. Bieber Is of the firm belief that
!nasmuch as he contributed his share to
the pension fund while connected with
the fire department neither the Com
missioners nor acts Of Congress can take
his pension away.

Eugene w. Chain, Prohibition nominee
for President, proposes to speak in every
State before election.
Frank III. Hitchcock. general manager
of Taft's pre-convention campaign, has
been made chairman of the national Re
publican committee.
President Roosevelt has refused an offer
to make speeches into the receiver of a
talking machine for the purpose of max
ing records for public sale.
William II. Taft has completed at Hot
Springs, Va, the first draft of his speech
of acceptance, but he hopes to trim it
down By revision to 3t5OO words.
Congressman Theodore f. Burton. in
a statement issued at Cleveland, said,
while he desires to be elected United
States Senator, he considers the election
of Taft more important and will ask no
pledges for his own candidacy.
w. ]. Bryan speaks lightly and sarcas-
tically of w. ii. Taft's reported declara-
ton that no campaign contributions from
corporations will be accepted
w. j. Bryan, in an address at his
the producer his share of the reward and
that the government must correct this
condition.
The Republican State convention at
Bangor, Me-, nominated Il. NJ. Fernald
for Governor and reaffirmed the party
belief in tie prohibitory law. Resubmis-
sion of the law to the people was the
main issue before the convention.
Another statement assailing the Re
publican labor plank has been Issued by
President Gompers of the liberation of
Labor. This insists that they TASK no
immunity for any one guilty of wrong
doing, whether they be workmen C. 9th
ers,' but does insist upon equality before
the law. Citing the Donbury hatters' de-
cision, declaring the unions 10 5e 2 trus.,
Gompers says the labor organizations ''ai'e
voluntary in character and formed for
the purpose of advancing and protecting
personal rights He adds that they deal
in no property, while the trusts are COM
binations dealing in the products Of la
Dor.
Incomplete returns of the Tennessee
Democratic primaries indicated the nom
ination o. Patterson for Governor by a
safe majority over Carmack, and this
meant victory for local or county OPP
ton, as opposed to Statewide prohibition.
However Patterson on the stump had
promised that II the platform called for
prohibition and the Legislature passed
such bill, he would sign it. One nota-
BILE feature of the contest was the defeat
OF Congressman Gaines by J. w. Byrnes,
a Nashville lawyer.

SIX AUTO|STS KILLED
WHEN TRAIN HITS CAR
Mother, Father and Three Girls
Are Among Those Dashed
to Death.
FAIL TO SEE LOCOMOTIVE.
G. s. King, Fort Wayne Politician
and Family and Guest in
Fatal Accident.

Six lives were crushed out In an in
slant near Columbia City, Ind, when a
Pennsylvania Railroad train smashed
an automobile in which were Mr.. and
Mrs Charles Sherman King. their two
daughters. Miss Fayma Bradshaw and
Carl Timmins, the chauffeur. all of Fort
Wayne. The machine was stopped
about a half-mile west of Columbia City
at a railroad crossing by freight
train and the chauffeur drove onto the
second track. waiting for the freight to
pass lie failed to see the Manhattan
Limited passenger train which came at
high rate of speed. The automobile
was destroyed and the bodies of its six
for a distance of a hundred feet and
terribly mangled. Skulls were frac-
tured. arms and legs broken, chests
crushed and clothing stripped off, So
great was the force of the collision that
the huge locomotive of the passenger
train was derailed.
The party was in Mr.. Kings automo-
bile and was going from Fort Wayne to
Lake Wewasee to spend Sunday. 1t is
said that when the party started on the
trip Mr.. King ordered the chauffeur to
make the run in two hours and a half,
which is about half an hour less than
the usual time.
Mr.. King formerly was member of
the Indiana Legislature from Wabash
County, being chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. He was mem
Der of the Columbia Club at Indianap-
oils and well known throughout the
