DIXON HINTS REPORTER
ASSAULTED PRISONER
Police Captain Names Paul
Braud in Connection with
Attack on Negro

In n report which he has submitted
to the police commission. Capt. c. e.
Dixon has implicated Paul ]. Braud, a
police reporter on the Times, In an
assault believed to have been commit
ted on Charles Williams. a negro
prisoner. on the night of December IS.
Tho matter OF the assault is now un-
der investigation by the grand jury,
and the police commission has delayed
action on the matter four weeks to
give the grand jury time to report.
Williams shot Patrolman e. f.
Saunders. December Is, and after he
was arrested and taken to the police
station, it is claimed the prisoner was
brutally manhandled. Capt. Dixon be-
lieves the assault occurred in the po-
lice station, and while he does not
name any officers who may have
taken part in it, he states that Braud
showed evidence of having been i'm
plicated in the affair. Chief Galloway
was instructed by the police commits
sion to do all he could to assist the
grand jury in its investigation.
Williams was beaten so terribly that
he will die, according to his attorney
When arraigned recently on a charge
of shooting the policeman. IL was de-
veloped that williams has contracted
tuberculosis as a result of his in
juries.
In his report, Capt. Dixon says of
the Charles Williams case:
From the meager information I
have been able to CLEAN, | am of the
opinion that Williams was assaulted
after he was taken to the jail. and
one of the reports hereto attached
shows indications and statements to
the effect that one Braud, reporter for
the Times assisted in the assault. :
at is my opinion that it would be
good case for the grand jury to in
vestigate, because it is evident to my
mind that there has been a concerted
effort to cover up the matter and as
several of the participants or wit
nesses to the matter are not members
of the police department police
commission investigation might not be
sufficient"
Capt. Dixon bases his report on
written statement made by officer c.
]. Sweeny, detailed as wagonman.
Sweeny's statement was:
Zone of the police reporters named
Braud, for a week after the arrest,
frequently complained of his hand
hurting him. and several times made
the remark that he certainly gave
that nigger what was coming to him.
"He made this remark and showed
his bruised hand to several officers in
the hall of the station. but at this time
I cannot recall who they were. But in
view of this mans injuries, and the
unpleasant notoriety it has brought on
the police department, 1 think it
should be investigated"
Braud last night declared he knew
nothing about the assault on Williams.

DETAILS OF REDUCTION IN
OUTPUT OF THE COPPER METAL

Boston.--With no official inforna-
zion is forthcoming regarding any pro-
posed reduction n the output OF cop
per IL is believed In well-informed
copper circles that the producing in
terests are getting closer together and
from now on the mines will reduce
the output Of ore and that this will
be reflected in the refined copper
output within the next sixty or ninety
days as & requires about this length
of time for the ore to come out Of
the refinery in the form OF finished
product
The Boston News Bureau has made
careful canveass o. the producers OF
nearly O0,000. 200 pounds of copper
per annum in this country who all de-
clare that there have been no recent
conferences looking to any agreement

rumOrs are persistent that the Big in
'terests in the copper business are
within striking distance Of a restric-
unOfficially that the curtaiiment may
amount to 25 per cent for three
months and 10 per cent for the next
six months thereafter There is no
question that the consumption of the
metal at the present tine is very
satisfactory. The trouble is however
that Notwithstanding this satisfactory
consumption demand producers have
continued 20 force hugs surplus.
The Amalgamated-Cole-R and
the Guggenheims and their American
Smelling & Refining and Utah Copper
connections have been waging war
for the supremacy Of the copper field
and have been turning copper loose
upon the market as fast as il could
be taken from the ground Ihe result: !

OF all the copper producers on this

and the Phelps-Dodge interests have
been the only ones which up to now
have done anything voluntarily to re

that it was better policy to leave the

have not been running to capacity for

ample. Lake Superior authority
writes the Boston News Bureau as
follows.
Il note by the News Bureau of June
% that the repairs now being made
at the Red Jacket shaft OF the Calu-
met & Hecla are not significant as
pointing TO any purpose on the part
of the big company 10 further reduce
smelter output also that the reestric-
ton in production in Butte is due TO
the inability OF the Washoe smelter
to treat all OF. the ore that the mines
can deliver. and that this is all there
s to the Butte curtailment. II the
Butte mines are working five or six
days a week instead Of seven and If
the Butte Reduction Works have been
shut down and the Washoe Works can
treat no more ore than formerly, how
can you figure anything but re-
duction in Butte output? AS to the
Calumet & Hecla not further redue-
ing production would say that the
Red Jacket shaft is shut down with
q material reduction in rock tonnage
Of the Inc as a whole. The old Osceo-
la shut down for repairs on shafts
some months ago when 500 men were
laid off. It has had its shafts repaired
but has not resumed production on
account of changes now said 10 be
under way at the smelter.
The La Sale a subsidiary Of the
Calumet & Hecla has reduced rock
shipments from ESQ TO 10O tons daily,
said to be due to the clearing up OF
the stock pile. Tamarack, another
Calumet & Hecla subsidiary has
closed down the No. shaft the
the main producer OF the mine, for
of course not for any ef-
feet on the output
The Wolver ne is also shipping less
ore than formerly, due to necessary
mine repairs, although of course not
with any veiw Of curtailing in output
of copper; and so on"
Further evidence is also furnished
By despatch from Houghton, Mich.
to the effect that shipments OF rock
to the stamp mills in that district are
now 1000 tons less per day than they
were six months ago. The preliminary
estimate OF the output of the Utah
Copper Co. fir June is placed at about
s 300 600 pounls Of copper as compared
s SOC, 0Os in May It is alsoworthy
of note that the production of the
Butte mines for June. although large
was 100000 pounds less than in May.
While considerable of this reduced
output is declared to be the result
OF purely local conditions the impress
sion is held by many that i is signif-
icant il that it indicates that the pro-
ducers have had the unwelcome truth
forced home that the law of supply
and demand is bound to regulate the
copper market and now any indivi-
dual producer or group OF producers
It is not TO be expected that there
will be any written agreement to cur
tail, as in that event the federal gov
eminent would have to be recokned
with; but 1t is easily conceivable that
a "gentleman's agreement or com
munity of interest" may supplaut
present warlike conditions now ex-
isting among the producers.
