Here and in Decatur the famous re-

holding meetings for several weeks,
and it had been thought that these
would leave both of these cities in the
dry list
But it failed in both places, for Dan

and voted in the saloons by a major

In Rockford dry" majority of 213

of loo yesterday; in Mattoon the "drys"
had 81 majority in 1908; yesterday
they lost by 239; Belvidere slipped out
of the dry column by 216 majority,
a reversal from a majority of 67 for
the "drys" two years ago.

In Bloomington the "wets" increased

Fuel Added TO Controversy.
Rome, April 6.-The issuance of a
statement by Rev. B. N. Tipple, pastor
of the American Methodist church, in
which he severely arraigned the Ro-
man Catholic church, has added fuel
to the Roosevelt-vatican incident.
Mr.. Roosevelt continues to deprecate
in the most vigorous fashion the fierce
religious tumult caused by the Incl
dent. which he regarSss as personal to
himself, and continues entirely conf
dent that his countrymen, Catholic as
we'll as Protestant when the facts in
ately examined, will sustain his posi-
ton
Breaks "Snepce.-
When the vatican statement, lilzen-
ing the situation to what might occur
in Germany, IL he visited the Polish
separatists after seeing the emperor,
was called to Mr.. Roosevelt's atten-
ton, he said:
'If the German emperor should place
as a condition to an audience that I
should not see the Poles, 1 should
make a similar reply: Upon that con-
dition I shall be compelled to forego
the pleasure of an audience"
Cardinals Express Dissent.
A phase of the situation which is at
tracting more and more attention here
is the open disapproval of the vati-
cans action expressed by numerous
Catholics. This is not confined to lay
men, but extends to the hierarchy and
even to the sacred college itself Some
of the cardinals have privately ex-
pressed dissent from action which
places the church in a position in any
way hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt
Catholics dwell on the many evi-
dences of friendship while he was the
occupant of the White house and de-
clare emphatically the church is being

COPPER PRICES To
FOLLOW BUSINESS
General Industrial Situation TO
Govern the Action of
Red Metal.

The Wall Street Journal says that the
course of the copper industry over the
next SIX months will depend largely upon
the course OF general business. For the
last year tho consumption OF copper ap-
parently, has been on the increase. As
a matter Of fact more copper was pur-
chased for consumption this year than in
any previous year in the history of the
industry.
The business OF the electrical companies
shows marked expansion and the same
can be said OF other copper consuming
industries. Copper Is being used more eX
tensively than ever before. but the in
dustry will have hard time maintain
ing It's present level in the event OF
,rrther depression in general business
the tendency has been upward, notwith-
standing sharp falling off In steel con-
sumption AS an example. the steel in
dustry a wear or more ago was operat-
Ing close TO "a per cent OF capacity,
whereas operations today are not much
In excess OF 65 per cent OF capacity OH
The average.
Copper Consumption.
The course of copper has been in the
opposite direction and the same applies
70 the electric Industry. II the General
Electric company. Western Electric conf
pany. Westinghouse Electric s Manu-
featuring company, and other large con-
sumers OF copper begin 10 show falling
off in business. then IL can be taken
FOR granted that copper consumption Will
also be on reduced scale.
AS a result of the more harmonious re-
lations existing between the copper pro-
ducers OF the country. the Industry viii
be in better position TO bridge de-
preston than six months ago when the
mines we're producing copper 70 the
limit or their respective capacities. The
large interests arc pledged TO restrict
copper production as close to consump-
tive requirements as possible. realizing
that any change from this position would
prove demoralizing in the event of any
pronounced falling off in demand for the
metal; Had the copper producers con-
tinued TO produce copper to the utmost
capacity OF their respective mines, the
price OF the metal today would he much
lover than II cents o pound.
There has been little doing in the cop
per market for two weeks Selling
agencies report fair, sales, but no large
blocks OF the metal have changed hands
The luil after the heavy building move
ment up TO two or three weeks ago is
natural. While some selling agencies
are still quoting 13 cents for clectrolyti;
copper. it can be had for l2s cents a
pound.
Porphyry Copper Companies.
The porphyry companies will be watched
very closely next year for changes in
cost OF production. Reports so far this
year have been favorable. but lower
grade ore is being worked and interests
not friendly to the porphyry mines de-
clare that costs will be higher in 1911
than in 1910. In the meantime all the
copper companies are earning their divi-
dends and not until there is n material
