INCREASE IN sPELTER.
Statement by United States Geological
Survey Shows Large Production
for First Half of 1912.

The United States geological survey
has Just made public the statistics of
production of all zinc smelters operating
during the first six months of 1917.
These figures, compiled by G.. e. Sieben-
thai of the survey and including figures
of the bureau OF statistics, show that
the production OF spelter from domestic
ore in that period was l5o.052 short tons,
and from foreign ore 6.544 short tons, a
total Of ,406 tons of primary spelter,
compared with l40l96 tons for the first
half OF 1911 and with l40,330 tons for
the last half of 1911.
If the production for the remainder
Of this year keeps pace with that Of the
first six months, the output for 1912
will be about 100000 tons, approximate
" 10000 tons greater than the produc-
ton in 1911, and more than double the
production of any year prior to 1904.
The apparent consumption for the first
six months OF this year was l5o.046
short tons, against l45,l57 tons for the
last half of 1911 and l34,902 tons for the
first half of l0ll.
There was falling off in the imports
of zinc ore during the period, 81 ,04s
short tons, containing 1929 tons of zinc,
having been imported in the first six
months of this year, against 3S,097 tons
of ore, containing l7,ll2 tons of zine,
in the last half OF 1911, and 81, SS5 tons
of ore, containing l5,02s tons of zinc,
in the first half of 1911.
Kansas led in the quantity OF spelter
made in the first six months of 1912,
with 80, 4s5 short tons; Illinois was next,
with 44224 short tons; Oklahoma third,
with 5000 short tons; the remainder,
3S,7T7 short tons, having been supplied
by the other spelter-producing states.
Inquiry made by the geological survey
at the beginning of the present year
showed that the total capacity of the.
smelters reporting production was 81 ,5S2
retorts, and that the construction of
1865 additional retorts in 1912 was
contemplated. Allowing an annual av-
erage Of Az tons per retort, the spelter
capacity of the 1852 retorts for thu
first six months would be 1882 tons,
less than 1000 tons in excess OF the &C.
tual production of primary spelter. TAX
ing into consideration the secondary ma
terials, such as zinc dresses resmelted at
the regular smelters, the low-grade car
Donates recently smelted, and the i'm
possibility of operating continuously at
maximum capacity, it is evident that
the smelling capacity of the plants In
operation has been strained to the ut
most during the last six months, and
that any added retorts must have been
put into operation as fast as completed.
The price of spelter ranged from 1925
cents pound at st. Louis in january
to cents in June. As the average New
York price for January was but 0.7s
cent pound higher than the average
London price for January, and as the
duty on spelter is 1875 cents a pound,
It is interesting to note that the monthly
summary of the bureau of statistics for
January gives the imports of spelter for
that month as 4,377 800 pounds.

He Is Inclined to Go Over to
Roosevelt
WOULD DO so IF REGULAR
He Sees Fraud in the Chicago Delegate
Contests--The Senator Later Will
Make Public His
Position.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Cum
minis of Iowa, hitherto counted as a
Taft adherent, is preparing to support
Roosevelt, if he can do so without leav-
ing the Republican party. Senator Cum
Minis, it is understood, will make public
his position when he returns to Iowa
upon the adjournment of Congress. Yes
terdsy he was silent on the matter, and
this information has only leaked out.
1t is stated that Senator Cummins has
read the evidence In the cases of the
contested delegates to the Chicago con-
vention, and has become convinced that
the presidents denomination was fraud
ulent. Always reckoned as a Progress
siye, the step to Roosevelt was easy,
but the difficulty has been that the Iowa
senator has not wanted to leave the
party. 1t is said that he has told Roose-
welt that he will work for him and for
Roosevelt electors If Roosevelt will ac-
cept his support on the terms just out
lined. The matter is still under consid-
Grafton.

$4,000 FOR
THE CAPTURE
Of "Gyp the Blood and Lefty
Louie"
OFFERED BY ATTY WHITMAN
Police Cannot Get the Money Because
They Allowed the Missing Ro-
seminal Murderers to
Escape.

New York, Aug. Charging that
"some members OF the police depart
ment knowingly permitted the escape
of "Gyp the Blood" and Lefty Louie
the missing gunner indicted for the
murder Of Herman Rosenthal, District
| Attorney Whitman last night announced
the offer of reward of 5000 for the
capture of the fugitives or $500 for
| the capture OF either.
Whitman stipulated that the reward
was not offered to any member Of the
New York police department or anybody
in the employ of the police. He said
he was aetuated by no feeling of I'M
Kindness toward the police but by the
belief that if proper work had been done
the indicted men would now be in GUS
tody.
II cannot escape the conclusion that
some members OF the police department
have known, il they do not know now
the whereabouts of these nurderers," he
declared. Whitman also said the gen
erosity of private citizens made the re-
ward offer possible, which probably will
he announced in circulars to be sent
throughout the country.
One of Whitman's reasons for sus-
pecting the police allowed the gunner
to escape was indicated last night. when
ii became known that Sam Schepps on
Wednesday told the grand jury that
three detectives from New York police
headquarters recognized him while he
was hiding at Fallsburg, y. Y.
1t is understood Schepps told the Jury
he and the detectives knew each other
well, and they accepted his Factions
declaration he was "Mr. Smith with
mock apologies for disturbing him.
"Gyp the Blood and Lefty Louie"
are believed to have been at one time
in the same vicinity.
Further details of Schepps' testimony
involving Poice Lieutenant Charles Beck
er, accused as the instigator of the muir.
der, have been learned.
Schepps declared that Becker speak
ing OF Rosenthal said on one occasion,
II am glad he is out of the way. the
cur should have been killed long ago; no
one cares about Rosenthal anyway"
Schepps testified further that Becker
told him to tell Jack Rose, then in hid
ing after the murder, not to surrender
himself, declaring, Il can control Wal

worry about the district attorney either.

The district attorney cannot do any
thing without evidence and Ill see that

The news from Washington that vii
liam J. Flynn, chief OF the New York
division of the federal secret service,
would resign temporarily in order TO
assist in the graft investigation by the
adermanic committee caused sensa-
ton in police circles.
Flynn was formerly second deputy po-
lice commissioner in New York, head
ing the detective bureau, but resigned,
stating publicly he did so because his
powers were curtailed in closing gam
bling resorts. He declared then that
when he furnished evidence several high
police officials were dishonest, nothing
was done so he resigned to maintain his
self respect"

Notes Of the Game.

Glare, the local shortstop, gave a dar-
ing exhibition of base running in the
fifth inning. He raped drive over
SCOTS head. Ordinarily the hit was
only good for two bases, but he con-
tinued for third and made it, as the
throw to head him off was little wide.
The third baseman dropped the ball at
his feet and Glare conned the situation
but for flash of second and romped
home before the baseman recovered his
wits.
Kbbee, the visiting catcher, is an old
university of Vermont player. He act
ed as backstop to the team that Reul
bach pitched for. Since leaving college
he has played independent ball consid
erably. He is instructor in southern
school and is spending the summer i'll
the vicinity of Randolph.
Beaton was not obliged at any time
to exert himself He was holding him
self in reserve for Saturdays contest.
Vail, who covered first base for RAN
dolph, is we'll known in baseball circles
in this state. He won reputation
several years ago pitching for the Ran.
dolph high school team. He entered
Dartmouth and pitched some on tue
freshman team. He is now at Middle
bury, having been one of the colleges
consistent pitchers. About year ago
he was troubled with his twirling arm
and has not been able to perform on thc
mound with the same efficiency as of
old.
The putout Bottigi was credited with
in the last inning off Scampini's fly was
one Of the longest drives ever made on
that field when fielder has been cred
tied with the putout.
Williams seems to play all infcld no
sitions with the same smoothness Yes
terday he started out at second and was
shifted to third when Davidson with
drew, being indisposed. He handled both
positions capacity.
