In Hands Of Others In Death
Of Clarence Glover
DOZEN WITNESSES HEARD
Medical Examiner West Denies Story
That Bullets in Glover's Body
Were of 90 Cali
bre.

Waltham, Mass Nov c7.--The inquest
in the death Of Clarence L. Glover. who
was shot week ago tonight, went on
behind closed doors IL the Office of Judge
Enos 7. Luce to-day, District Attorney
Higgins Of Boston doing the questioning
Prominent among the witnesses, ,of whom
there were dozen, was Mrs Glover,
wife Of the victim. A big crowd sur.
rounded the courthouse, as Mrs. Glover
drove up ID an automobile
The tales that the two bullets in
Glover's body were s2-caIibre, while he
pistol he said Hattie Leblanc fired was
3s-calibre, were denied to-day by Medi-
cal Examiner West. He says the bull
let's which killed Glover were Of larger
size. No information as to whether 9th
er arrests are likely to be made soon
has been given out by the police, but
the impression is growing that the lie.
Blanc girl was at most but tool in
others hands
The rigid investigation of the girps
story, in which she denied the accusa-
tions Of her employer, and the examina,
tion Of Mrs. Mary Glover, the widow,
apparently have thrown very little light
on the case. The investigating officials,
however, believe that the two women
have not told all they know about the
dead man.
The activity of the police appeared
to be centered in tracing the telephone
calls from and to the Glover house on
Saturday night. One, particularly, which
may have come from there to Dr. Cons
EMS hospital, in which an inquiry was
made as to whether Mr. Glover had said
anything discriminating his wife, was the
object Of much inquiry Whether the
police succeeded in tracing the calls Is
not known

TARIFF MAKES FOR A WORLD
 LEAD TRUST
New York Manufacturer Is Worth Over Schedule in A. drich BiII-Says Members Did Not Heed Evidence

WASHINGTON April 23-Wit hthe charge that the lead-producing busi- ness of the United States is now con trolled by the Guggenheims Exprola- tion company and steps have been taken for the formation of a world trust in lead. Milton L. Lisserberg is here making a determined stand against the lead schedule in the Al drich bill.
 The payne committee reduced the duty from 1-2 to 1 Is cents. The manufacturers were willing to allow 1-cent duty. which they showed would be equivalent to about S5 per cent They were not by any means satisfied with the action of the Payne committee, but when the Al drlch coamittee restored the present duty of Is cents per pound they became decidedly vexed
 MT. Lssberger does not mince lang uage in his charge that the Guggen- helm interest is the one which will benefit by this duty. and which has been back of the movement to pre- vent a tariff reduction.
 "One of the members of the Finance committee said Mir Lissbergsr, told us they did not read the docu- ments, briefs and arguments we had forwarded to them. They just made up their schedule without it, but he said he hoped to get time, now that tho bill has been reported, to read up on it"

A MARK SMITH STORY.

The Washington correspondent oi the Saturday Evening Post relates clever story which was told by ex- Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona, re- gardiHg a negro ministers resigna- tion. The story Is as follows:
 When Delegate Mark Smith Of Ari- zopa was boy he lived on big plantation in Kentucky It was in slave days and one of his fathers slaves was Uncle Ike, who was the preacher for the place.
 Smiths father had built a small church on a corner of the plantation and Uncle Ike held forth there every Sunday. Th.s was pleasing 10 Ike because it not only gave him a chance to exhort the negroes. but it absolved him from many of the chores on Sun day.
 One Sunday Mark went out by the barn and found Uncle Ike sitting dis consolately under tree.
 Look here. Ike,' said Mark. why aren't you down there preaching to- day?"
 well. Mars. Mark Ike replied 'T afn't goin' to preach to dem mig gahs no more They's always hght- in 'mongst theyselves an I'm sick an tired an done quit preachin'."

AMSTER PESS|MISIIC
 ON COPPER FUTURE
Expects Higher Market and Great Expansion in the
 Use of Metal

GLOBE. April 2S.-That conditions throughout the east will soon create a demand for copper that will put that metal back on a scale of prices which will make it's manufacture a thing of profit. is the opinion of N. L. Amster
 As far as I can determine said Mir AmsteT yesterday. conditions throughout the east are showing decided improvement.
 .MuiIding in all it's branches is brisk and in the electrical world in particular there is an increase in activity.
 The demand for copper for use in all lines of electrical work is bound to send this metal to higher price within a short time. Its use is in creasing constantly and the ratio be tween supply and demand is bound to affect the price before many months.
 "I have heard considerable talk of late to the effect that aluminium will eventually replace copper in electri- cal work. A statement to that effect
 
 is the statement of a man who is misinformed-
 aluminium can never replace cop per for use in electrical equipment. In the first place copper alone Is suit able for some classes of work and in the second place, so much energy Is required to produce aluminium that IL would be utterly impossible to manu- facture enough of the metal to sup ply the demand now existing for cop per. It requires much electrical en- ergy to produce a given amount or aluminium and barring all it's defects as a conductor of electricity, it could never take the place of copper in the electrical world
 NIT. Amster is president of the Shannon Copper conpmy. operating at Clifton and is also heavily interest ed in the mining and other industries of the Globe district.
