a leading Boston authority on cop

thing except tangible assets. with no
allowance for good will. is hardly
likely to back project which would
rob it OF the prestige it has obtained
by Its ultra-conSeryative management
OF those properties.
Any comparison between the flota-
ton Of Amalgamated with its blind
pool 'cat-in-the- features with
the present project is ridiculous on
the face of It, 1t should be borne
IN mind that whereas Amalgamatcd
was formed at time when only tho
fcwest people In this gentry knew
anything about the copper mining
business. the value OF ore in the
ground, and actual and probable cost
OF production, at the present time
there are a great number OF men who
have been making a most thorough
study OF this industry. and it is quito
safe TO say that the basis of any new
securities issued will be carefully
scrutiniZed. and their intrinsic value
more accurately determined than al
most any railroad or other invest
ment on the list

tall is growing and blooming on the

1t Is supposed that the English spar

flowers planted by w. E. Booth in the

dust and dirt has accumulated to an
extent that the seeds took root and

An ingenious fraud in the butter
line was brought to light recently In
England. In that country the amount
OF moisture in butter Is limited BY
law to 16 per cent. Australian and
New Zealand buffers. on the other
hand, usually contain only per
cent. OF water. Taking advantage
OF this fact, several firms imported
large quantities of these colonial but
ters. to which 8 per cent of water
was then added. thus bringing them
down to the British standard. AS the
added water naturally cost nothing and
the product was sold at the current
butter price. substantial profit was
made.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Senator Bev-
bridge did not participate in the
speech making on the closing day Of
the special session. He contented
himself merely with voting against
the tariff report. which he did in a
4irm voice.
In conversation with senator's he ex-
nlained that he did SO as a protest
against those schedules of the bill
which do not carry out the party's
pledge for revision downward and al
30 - Z Protest against the Ubiquitous
methods Of barter and trade by which
tariff bills are now framed.
He was emphatic IN predicting that
never again will Q tariff bill be pass
cd without the aid OF a tariff commits
sion.
The Indiana senator's vote against
tho conference report has not disturb
cd In the slightest. and will not dis
turb, the cordial relations that exist
between him and the president. There
70 very strong belief In Washington
that II Mr.. Taft had been a senator
he would have voted against the con-

not veto Il without bringing about a
condition Of chaos in the party.
President 10 Cheerful.
When President Taft was at the cap
ltoi this afternoon he greeted the In
diana senator with a warmth that was
noticeable In the manner in which he
accosted several Of the senators who
voted for the bill. They had a pleas
ant chat together. When Senator Bev-
eridge started to leave the president
slapped him on the back and said:
"Good-by, old man."
Senator Beveridge did not offer his
aI1tttobacco coupon proposition as an
amendment to the concurrent resolu-
tion to correct the boot and shoe 1ok-
Yer, as he had intended. He found that
since the tobacco legislation will not
take effect for one year there will be
ample time next winter to introduce
and urge the adoption Of an anti-cou-
pom provision. and he was afraid that
II he insisted on pressing the matter
to vote now he might jeopardize the
passage Of the concurrent resolution
and thus block the way to cheaper
tariff rate on boots and shoes.
Representative Crumpacker was
among the presidents callers today
