BUTTE, Mont. Nov 2S-With the
additional restrictions placed ON the
export Of copper by the British gov
eminent, which has declared copper
to be contraband and has discovered
that the shipments from America to
certain European ports are intended
largely for re-shipment to Germany.
copper producers in the Butte district
are fearful OK the necessity for a tur-
ther curtailment unless domestic CON
sumption improves or other markets
are soon opened.
There are no plans at present for
changing the system of operations at
90 per cent capacity on the part of
the Anaconda and other operating
companies in Butte, and those con
Germs which have suspended opera
tions entirely like the East Butte,
win remain closed indefinitely.
The effects of the European war
on business and industry in the
United States can, not be over-esti-
mated said Senator W. A. Clark
upon his return to Butte from Europe
"lf copper had not been declared con
traband we could sell a great deal.
Germany would be glad to buy exten-
sively, England and other European
countries are absorbing more copper
now than they did month ago, which
IS encouraging.
"On the whole | see no chance for
material Improvement while the war
lasts, and that is a matter of great
uncertainty ] am glad to see that the
producers have spontaneously and
without any urging reduced their out

TIED, ROBBED AND
LEFT TO DIE IN
BURNING HUT
Startling Story Of Workman on
Somerset Dam
BARAxN0Ic DIED YESTERDAY
Became Conscious Before Death and
Made Statement to North Adams
Hospital Nurse

Medical Examiner o. j.. Brown of
North Adams began an investigation
yesterday of the alleged death-bed
statement of Simeon Baraznoic, 20.
that he had been bound, robbed and
left to die in burning hut at Somer-
set, VT Baraxnoic died at the North
Adams hospital yesterday morning,
from his burns and is reported I'd
have made a statement relative
the conditions under which he receT-
ed them to nurse at the hospital
before he died.
The North Adams authorities, to
whose notice the alleged statement
was brought, have no authority in
Somerset, and it is expected that the
facts will be tuned over to the prop
er authorities in Vermont. 1t is un-
derstood that Baraxnoic implicated
three men in his statement.
Baraxnoic was brought to the
North Adams hospital several days
ago. He was in an unconscious cor
ditlon for long time and last Friday
is said to have become rational ard
to have made the statement to tie
nurse. Little is known OF the man \
history beyond the fact that he was
an Austrian by birth and that he was
employed on the dam at Somerset.

Washington, Jan. 2T.--Flnancial
operations which iacluded the acquire

which profted to the extent OF more
than $S,O0O,000 some of which was
pocketed BY the roads own officers,
are pointed to as among the underly

tions are made by the commission,
f. f. Clark. the chairman, stating in
letter of transmittal addressed to
the president that they we're not call
ed for in the resolution adopted by
the Senate last sumner directing tho

That the interest bearing liabilities

were wholly disproportionate when

which submits figures for eight selec-
ted railroads showing the average ra-
ito of funded debt to capital liability
to be 1906 per cent. The report fur
Their declares that the inability Of the
Frisco to meet Its obligations seem
cd TO have been apparent for some
time prior to the application for re
ceiyership; that strenuous efforts
were made by its officers TO tide over
financial difficulties from day TO day:
that money was borrowed from all
available sources until every avenue
of assistance was exhausted, market
able securities being either sold or
pledged as collateral unde- the num-
erous loans; and that noiwithstand-
ing this exhausted financial condition

New York $4,000 900 OF its general

which the commission declares war
ranted condemnation. Summarized.
the commissions report attributes
the insolvency of the Frisco TO the
following causes:-
"Disproportionate capitalization.
The acquisition of new lines.
The financing by the Frisco of
the New Orleans. Texas and Mexico
railroad and other south Texas lines.
The desire for an entrance into
Chicago. resulting in the assumption
OF heavy fixed charges in the ac-
quisiticn of the stock of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois railroad.
The sale of its securities al prices
so low as 70 indicate depiorably
weakened credit or an extrava CANT
arrangement with bankers to whom
large profits accrued in the purchase
OF the bonds and the subsequent
sale of same to the public.
Miscellaneous causes. among
which are the payment of dividends
upon its preferred stock in spite of
its weakened credit and need OF
money.
Poor investments and expensive
relations. among which are the in
