CONGRESS HAS SHOOTING
(From Fridays Daily)

NETOI OdAiNJ
 A telephone message was received here yesterday from Congress June tion announcing that a Mexican had been painfully wounded in the arm in a shooting scrape there Wednesday night. Only meager details of the shooting were given. The injured man will be brought to the county hos pital today.
 The man who did the shooting is under arrest. The names of the prin- cipals in the affray were not learned by the local officers at late hour last night.
 Sheriff J. W. Smith left nere yes terday morning for Congress Junction. He will arrive home today with the prisoner in case he is held to appear before the next grand jury.
 The man who did the shooting is al- leged to be an American and the wounded man a sheepherder, in the employ of one of the wool growers whose foeks are now assembled Tn that vicinity for lambing and shear ing.
 It was also reported that a house had been broken into and robbed in Congress Junction at an early hour yesterday morning. The rumored rob bery was not confirmed. No informa- tion of it was received at the sheriff s office late last night.

COPPER PRODUCT REVEALS LlR6E
 SURPLUS
With Normal Conditions In Force This Will
 Disappear
(From Saturdays ,Daiiy)

The initial report of Secretary L. C. Graton of the Copper Producers Asso- citation giving the amount of surplus copper in the United States on Febru- ary l at 122,OOO,OOO pounds, will no doubt be a surprise to the general pub lie, who have been led to believe by various estimates given currency by the press that the accumulation of cop per in this country had already reach ed enormous proportions. And it is likely that this assumption on the part of many people will be seized upon and used with effect by those inter ests which would be the gathers by the further depression of the market for the metal.
 The natural effect of the publication from an official source of figures, indi- eating stocks of copper in the aggre- gate that are surprisingly small, should be to cause an immediate and pro nouneed reversal of the copper mar ket-stimulate buying movement and materially advance the price of cop per, and, coincidently, the vlaues of copper securities.
 The large copper producers and sell ing agencies have all along shown con- fdence in the soundness of the metal conditions, declaring that there was no such accumulation of unsold copper in this country as would menace the stability of the industry, or that should cause any uneasiness in the trade. The stated surplus, 122,000,000 pounds, in reality represents about one and half month s cOnsumptive demand, and if the published estimates of the present consumption of copper -65 to 75 per cent of the normal-are accepted, then the significance of the Copper Producers report becomes str1k- ingly apparent; for, if the published figures are reliable, then the cOnvie- tion is forced upon us that the normal consumption of copper restOred-and there is reason to believe that it will be before many months have elapsed then shortage of copper and a return to the hign prices which prevailed two years ago would seem to be inevitable.
 It is the aim Of the Copper Produc- CTS association, representing over 90 per cent of the copper producing inter ests of the United States, to have their monthly reports as. complete and as accurate as it is possible to make them, that they will be accepted by the trade and by all others interested in copper statistics without quaInca- tion. Mr. Graton, statistician for the association, was cnosen to fill that i'm portant position because of his reeog- nized ability and long experience in dealing with copper statistics, during the years he has been connected with the United States Geological Survey, and those who are familiar with MT. Graton s character and his work as a statistician feel the utmost confidence that his reports for the Copper Pro ducers' association will be compiled with great care, and can be relied upon as being accurate.

GIVES ACCOUNT
OF MASSACREs IND SLAYING
OF TWO OF HIS COLLEAGUES

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 1.-Steph-
en- r. Trowbridge, a missionary, who
witnessed the killing of d. M. Rogers
and Henry Maurer, fellow missionaries
at Adana, has supplied an account of
the occurrence, dated. Adana, April "a,
to representatives of the grand vizier
and has written it out also for the
mission board at home. Mr.. Trowbridge
says:
Firing and fighting began April Ia,
between Moslems and Armenians,
which resulted in a number of casual
ties on both sides.
THE next morning conflagrations re-
suited from incendiarism and had
spread to such an extent that we were
obliged to watch closely the building
of the girls school and the residence
of William n. Chambers. Mr. Rogers
was guarding the home of Miss wal
lace and the dispensary across the
street
'All this time there had been no sign
of any effort on the part of the govern
ment authorities to stop the firing, the
pillaging and burning"
Mr.. TAowbridge then tells of the eff
forts of himself, Mr.. Rogers and Mr..
Maurer to save the school building.
Mr. Mauer was using the crowbar
against a wall, and 1, higher up, was
pouring water on places catching fire.
Suddenly two shots rang out, not more
than eighty yards from where we were
working.
"Mr. Rogers, who was in the street
bringing water, was mortally wounded

MUSHROOMS NEARLY
CAUSE MANY DEATHS
Victims Eat but Few of the Vege-
tables Because of Peculiar Taste,
and Thereby Save Their
Lives

NOGALES, A. T., May Yesterday
three prominent families of Nogales
on the Sonora, Mexico, side, narrowly
escaped being poisoned fatally by eat
ing dry mushrooms bought of a Chi
nese merchant.
Three Frenchmen, one the proprietor
of a hotel, one the manager of mer
camille house and one a druggist,
bought the mushrooms. The cook in
one family suspected they were the
poisonous species while she was cooking
them and threw them away.
The cook in the merchants family
prepared his, and the family partook
of some of the dish, but owing to the
peculiar taste the members of the fam
lily ate but little. Later all the mem
bers of the family were thrown into
convulsions, but soon recovered.
The druggist tested his dish while
cooking, detected the poisonous quality
and notified his friends and the health
officials. The matter will be 'rigidly in
vestigated. The mushrooms were inn
ported from China.

In Trouble

TACOMA, Wash. May 1.-The grand
jury which has been in session here
for several days today returned an in
dictment against Mayor John w. Linck
for failure to enforCe the ordinances
against the social evil, and against B.
Bertelson, a we'll known real estate
agent, for renting buildings for i'm

that under the new criminal code,
passed only a few weeks ago, but not
yet in force, there is no penalty for
renting such buildings.

Jury that Sandberg's monopoly yielded
him a revenue of from $700 to $500 a
week, and that the mayor openly al
lowed the places TO operate He is
charged with having ordered the police
