 Senator Carter went down in the Democratic victory of 1910 The Mon, tana legislature was slightly Demo cratic, and after. a hard and bitter fight he was defeated for reelection by Henry l.. Myers President Taft appointed him a member of the inter national boundary commission, which is trying to adjust boundary disputes between this country and Canada.
 His congressional and official life at Washington had lasted twenty years. This embraced service as the first rep resentatiVe elected from Montana, two terms in the United States senate and such executive positions as commis- siOner of the general land office.

UNCLE SAM'S JUNK PILE.
Scrap and Waste Metals Recovered
 Valued at S45,525, 800.

In one year, according to the esti- mate of the geological survey, there was recovered from scrap metal, sweepings, dresses, copper, lead, zinc, tin and antimony total value of $45,- $500. These are what are known as secondary metals" meaning the utilization of metals that would other wise be cast aside as waste material In other words, this large sum of money represents the annual junk pile of the United States.
 The total amount of secondary cop per recovered from remelted brass and from alloys. other than brass, assum- ing that the brass remelted had an average copper content of TO per cent, was 891, 800 tons, of which 15,5OO tons were recovered by regular refining plants and the remainder by plants treating only secondary materials. At least 30,O00 tons were recovered from clean scrap, made in the course of manufacture of copper and brass ware, so that only 61,5OO tons were obtained from ashes and cinders and from mI- terial that had entered the trade in manufactured form and been discard ed. The production from secondary sources in 1910 was equal to about r per cent of the domestic consumption of new copper.
 Secondary lead recovered amounted to more than 5O,OOO tons, valued at $5,O00OO0, equal to 111A per cent of the refined lead produced in the Unit ed States. Thirty-four thousand tons of zinc were also recovered secondari. ly, amounting to nearly one-fourth of the whole production of primary smelter in the United States, and its value was nearly $1O,OOO,OOO The. secondary recoveries of antimony, all most wholly from alloys, exceeded the primary metal, its value in 1910 being nearly $5OO,OOO. Likewise the pro- duction of secondary tin exceeds the primary supply, and this recovery is largely on the increase

DEAD BOYS Clothes
GIVES father SHOCK
Especial to the Tribune)

LAKOTA, N. D., July 26.-There
was a dramatic and pathetic scene in
the court room yesterday in the trial
of Clyde Sperry for the killing of
Kenneth Mckenzie when the father
of the dead boy broke down in identi-
flying partly burn"d clothes of his
son, worn on the occasion which
closed his career on earth. The father
burst into tears and could not for a
time answer the question put to him.
During the entire time the prose
cutting attorney was asking questions
regarding the clothes there was not
dry eye in the court room. Women
and strong men were alike afflicted
and wept from sheer pity at the
agony the heartbroken father was so
evidently suffering in an effort to
control himself. even the jury being
greatly moved by the spectacle.
1t is probable t at another arrest
will grow out of the testimony, a
young man being connected with the
affair which cost young McKenzie's
life.

MAN At FARGO
BREAKS into JAIL
Especial to the Tribune)

FARGO, y. d., July 26-The Fargo
police department has a most mysteri-
Gus prisoner in the lookup. He is mys-
FERROUS because he walked into the Of
fee of States Attorney Fowler yester-
day morning and asked to be sent to
jail for term. .IIe is mysterious be-
cause he issued check for 81 900 in
land deal that was worthless. He is
sued another check TO the Schas Garage
Co. for So which was also worthless,
and he is not abashed at saying that he
wants to be sent to either the Jail or
the penitcntlary for term of several
months.
The man gave the name J. NJ.
Thompson, and he registered at the
Mctropolc hotel under that name and
gave his place of residence as Chi
cage. Night before last he hired an
auto from the Schas garage and after
riding about for some time asked for
his bill and it amounted to So. He
wanted to give the owners of the gar
age check for larger amount than
the bill and receive the balance in
money, but this was not allowed and
so he gave the check which turned
out to be worthless.
lie went into, deal with real es-
tate company in the city and agreed
to buy certain piece of property and
the deal was fixed up and he gave a
check for ST 900, which was also found
to be worthless. He hired an auto
from another man in town and did not
pay for it,
States Attorney Fowler was very
much astonshed when the man came
into his office with his crutches and
said he wanted to break into jail. He
said that he had nothing to do; could
do nothing and that Jail under the
circumstances was the best place he
could be put. He was told by the
official that it would be pretty hard
for him to break into jail.
The present case is one that, under
the laws of the state of North Da-
kota, admits of no punishment, for it
is not charged that he gave any prom
ises for anything he received. He
rendered the bogus check after he
had received his ride, and he received
no land for the check he gave the real
estate company. However, the att
thorities will make an investigation of
his case this morning. for his ac-
tons are, to say the least, hardly
those of a man who is in possession
of all of his mental faculties
