Are Back Of WAR Scare" Talk.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l7-That the
war scare now being agitated is the
result. not of a conspiracy, but of
variety of causes, among them agita-
ton by war supply manufacturers.
was the opinion expressed today by
Rep. Prince (Rep Ills.J, member
of the house committee on naval at
fairs There is no conspiracy Ia
bring on war scare" Prince said
But It results from agitation on the
part OF the great powder and arma-
ment manufacturers, aided by army
and navy officers. The ammunition
establishments are after the business
which would come with an increase
in armament. II the officers OF the
army and navy and their extremist
friends would quit talking there
would be no necessity for excessive
defense appropriations at this time"

Colonel Roosevelt did nothing. but hunt

to it while in Africa, and, furthermore
he didn't read "A newspaper of any sort
lie had plenty of newspapers sent 10 him
from America. but when they arrived he
turned them over to the members of his
party and suggested that they would make
good wrappers for faunal and floral speci-
mems
This information concerning the colonel
was brought to port Yesterday by J. Alden
Loring. one of the field naturalIsts Of the

Mr. Roosevelt. and who returned Yesterday

THE VERSION OF THE NUNCIo.

Vienna. April 1S-The ''Natcrland. "A Vat
lean organ. prints letter from the Papal
Nuncio., Monsignor Granite iii Belmontc
Pignatenl. in which he expresses surprise
at the reports published regarding his
meeting with Mr.. Roosevelt. lie SAYS that
the facts have been inaccuratelv stated
aud that the interpretations are false. His
visit. he SAYS, was only in the way Of an
exchange Of courtesies between Ambassadors
Nerens and himself which would afford
him an opportunity to express his personal
esteem for Mr.. Roosevelt
The Papal Nuncio's letter apparently il
ln reply 10 a statement published by the
Meme Erie Presse," which said Il was re-
ported that the meeting was suggested by
Mr. Roosevelt. who expressed a wish To
discuss the Vatican incident with the
Pope's representative at Vicnna. This
paper also states that the Austrian official
circle exercised no influence in the matter.
that the American Ambassador invited the
Nuncio TO luncheon. The latter declined
because no other diplomats were invited
hut said he would como after luncheon Ia
make Mr. Roosevelt acquaintance.

Nuncio's Visit at Vienna

Rome. April 1S.-From reports which IL
has received from Vienna. the Vatican. il
is understood. does not consider that Mon
signor J. Granite iii Belmonte PignatelH.
the Papal Nuncio az Vienna, visited Mr..

MAY STOP COPPER FIGURES
Producers Association Said to
Intend to Dissolve.

The Copper Producers Association.
formed In December. 1905, to furnish sta
tistics on the production and sale of con-
per throughout the country and to collect
and distribute 20 it's members all i'm
portant facts concerning the copper and
brass industries. Il likely soon to be dis
solved. The mex. meeting is To be held
within few days. and a majority OF the
members are expected on that occasion
to vote in favor Of resolution to end
the association
The members are said to believe that
unwarranted conclusions as to the condi-
ton Of the copper producing interests
are drawn from the statistics and prs-
scented to the public If the monthly
figures show an Increase in production.
for example, one group declares there is
Overproduction, and the result is to de-
press prices; while if a decrease is
shown, there is talk of a copper famine"
and prices advance.
One of the objects which it was hoped
TO effect through the present association
was the adoption Of policy. similar to
that in operation in the steel trade. OF
keeping the product at fair price and
thus putting a curb on speculation.
Another Copper Producers Associa-
ton. of which the late John Stanton was
president, was organized in JULY. 1892
1t kept records of the production of con-
per all over the world and furnished STA
tstics of the industry to the government
as well as to its own members. II was
wound up in 1904. following the with
drawal from its membership of the COM
panies marketing their product through
the United Metals Selling COMPANY.
