A vigorous protest is being prepared
by the State Department against the
removal by the French cruiser Des-

tend that removal of citizens of any ma
tion from an American vessel on the
high seas is without legal justifica-
tion.
It will be asserted in the note, as it
was a year ago in a protest to France
in the case of August Piepenbrink, that
the mon removed were not embodied
"in the armed forces of the enemy in
international law.
Immunity on Neutral Ships.
The communication, 1t was under
stood, probably will declare also that
there is no justification for the re-
moval of an enemy subject from a neu-
tral vessel on the high seas bound to a
neutral port. even If he could properly
be regarded as a military person. The

ably will be cited as precedent.

Leader Mann Preparing Republican
List for rAnnouncement-Congress
Then to Get to Work.

Committees of Congress will be form
ally organized this week. preparatory
to the beginning of the real work Of
Congress. which. il is expected. will
keep the Legislators here until far into
the summer
! When the Senate assemblies tomorrow
, ASST sienments to the standing commit
tees of that body will be submitted
for approval The House does not meet
until Tuesday. Minority Leader Mann
expects to have the republican assign
nients to committees ready at that
time. The democratic assignments have
already been announced.
Protest in Kenyon's Behalf.
The republicans of the Senate will
hold a conference Monday morning, to
approve assignments to committees
made by the committee on committees.
Progressive republicans. it is said. will
make protest at that time because
of the defeat of Senator Kenyon of
Iowa for a place on the foreign rela-
tions committee.
The committee on committees. it is
learned, has assigned to the foreign re-
lations committee Senators Oliver OF
Pennsylvania and Brandegee of Con-
by the retirement from the Senate of
Senators Root and Burton. Senator
Kenyon was an aspirant for one of
these places. There was spirited con-
test waged over the assignment
Opposition to Senator Kenyon, 1t Is
declared. was based upon his advo-
cacy of an embargo on munitions of
war to European belligerents. His
name was proposed for each vacancy
Each time he was defeated in the
committee on committees by a vote
of six to three.
Senator's Cummins. Gronna and Jones
supported Kenyon. Senators Lodge,
Smoot, du Pont oliver, Page and Cur
tbs voted against him.
Senator Kenyon was appointed, how
ever, to one of the vacancies on the
commerce comittee, where he will sue
ceed Senator Burton as the opponent
of extravaganza in river and harbor
appropriations. The Iowa Senator
supported Burton in the long filibuster
against the river and harbor bill at
the last session.
Other Important Assignments.
Much interest centered also on as
signments TO the naval srffdfrs COM
mittee. Democrats have named Sena-
tors Pittman of Nevada and Phelan of
California to vacancies ON this COM
mittee
Other important committee assign
ments go to Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, who takes a place on the appro-
priations committee and craftsmanship
of the committee on Cuban relations
and to Senator Works of California,
who succeeds Senator Root the ju-
dietary committee.
Democratic friends of Senator I'm
derwood had urged place for him on
the finance committee, in view of his
experience as former chairman of the
House ways and means committee. Sem
ator Underwood urged them not to
press the matter.

Believe They Will Be Able to Over

There will be wet aud dry fight
in Congress at this session which will
undoubtedly outdo all previous efforts:
and the aiming point of the anti-saloon
forces is the District of Columbia. Al
though a nationwide dry campaign
is on, and the plans have been laid for
reporting Il modernized Hooson amend
ment in the House. the hopes of the
dry forces are best epitomiZed in the
expression of an official of the Anti
Saloon League:
IF we get the District of Columbia
dry at this session. we will not care
so much about the constitutional
amendment That will surely come in
time
DRY District Immediate Goal.
In other words. the drys are working
heart and soul in and around the Cap
itol to drive King Alcohol from the
National Capital. and if that day comes
they will be able to hold up Washing
ton as an example to the rest of the
nation.
All of this means, also that the mem
bers of Congress will be called on twice
in this Congress, perhaps in this first
session, to cast record vote on that
embarrassing wet and dry issue. How
ever, this prediction should be read with
proper value given to the perhaps"

To Push Sheppard Bill.
The Sheppard bill, introduced on the
opening day of Congress, will be the
measure for the District of Columbia,
which will be pushed by the anti-sa-
loon men. The Hobson amendment
practically in the same form as last
Congress. is expected to be introduced
and pushed by some member who has
not been named as yet, as far as the
House is concerned. There is consid-
cradle secrecy about the House plans
thus far. because one or two of the
"dryest" men in the entire Congress have
hesitated about assuming the burden
OF not only trying to make the District
Of Columbia dry, but all the rest of the
United States as well.
The dry people report that there is no
hesitancy in the Senate on that score,
and that there are several senators
who appear willing to take the dry
fight for the city and nation on their
hands.
1t is also reported that a part of the
dry" fight will be TO take all partisan
character out of the matter by having
a republican and a democrat in both
bodies introduce practically the same
measure. Furthermore, it is reported
that one of the republican senators will
introduce dry bill for the District
which makes an exception of the en-
bassies and legations, the wet spots
in the National Capital thus being
found only under the flags of foreign
nations.

1t was distinguished company which
gathered for half an hours acquaint-
ance making and renewing in the
assembly room, including men classed
as topliners in craftsmanship, admin
istration, finance, business. diplomacy,
politics and the professions. In that
commingling, democracy prevailed and
rank and prestige. wealth and posi-
ton. were fused in the melting pot of
Gridiron hospitality and good-natured
fun.
When the old dinner bell. which for
these twenty years has called the din
ers to table, changed its cheerful sum-
mons the guests with their hosts passed
into the great banquet hall and found
their places at tables arranged in the
form of a mammoth gridiron. Stand

Old Dominion Dividends

The old Dominion has paid three dividends this year, one of 50 cents one of S1 and the last $1.50. There will be another dividend declared in December and it would not be sur prising if there was further in crease of 50 cents over the previous declaration which would bring the total for the year up to s.
 The floods interfered with produc- ton early in the year but the trouble has been gradually overcome and production is now running along in the usual way There is nothing out of the ordinary i'll the Old Do- minion situation but the property is m the usual good shape.
 Old Dominion has proved fairly steady dividend payer. It paid S4 last year, $5 in 1913, and $4 in 1912, while it vii pay at least $4.50 this year and perhaps $5. The production for the current year will be in the neighhorhood of 3O,00O000 pounds, notwithstanding that for March, ow- ing to the floods, production was but 63S, 900 pounds and for April 1888, 5000 pounds.
 Costs at the old Dominion are un- derstood to be slightly in excess of S1-2 cents per pound and with the metal at current prices profit of more than 100 per cent is being realized. Figuring on such cost and a price of 171ac for copper, Old Dominion would show earnings of about S9 per share.

w. S. Jennings. the superintendent of this property situated miles south of Phoenix has returned and is already getting things in condition preparatory to extensive development work. which will consist in sinking the main shaft deeper, cross cutting at certain intervals over to the vein and drifting along its course. SeV- eral carloads of ore have been ship ped from the vein and all have proven very satisfactory in results.
 The operation of this property means considerable advantage to Phoenix for there is an expenditure of $4.OOO to s5,OOO per month; this is distributed generally among our merchants and business houses. In addition to developments already planned, there is the expectation of erecting reduction plant in the near future. There are several large low grade properties in the same range of mountains that are at pres ent receiving some attention.

Shattuck- Arizona

The rise in the ShattuckArizOna on Monday is evidence of the broad ening interest in the copper share market. Shattuck-Arizona. is con- trolled in the west where d very large part of the stock is concentrated in the hands of few, including Presi dent Shattuck and Louis Hill of the Great Northern.
 The property has been doing eX- ceptionally well for some time and is a rich mine, although the acreage is not large. The costs are un- derstood to be down to about 612 cents, and. besides copper, Shattuch is shipping lead. The ore is very high grade and under existing prices for the metals earnings are believed to be running at about S6 per share
 The company has a very large treasury surplus, having at the date of the last annual report, Dec. 3f last, something over $1,000, 900 in cash and cash assets.

the state and they are made for the sole purpose of mining the metals that are in the ground. The latest developments are proving very en- couraging. We noticed last week the rich strike of gold ore near Wrinkle man, since then the facts have been subStantiated. Other three properties are now developing that will surely bring the district into greater prom thence by it's large productiVeness. Since last weeks notice of opera = tions at Swansea, comes word 1f another strike of solid Chalcopyrite ore of high grade. The old Planet mine is reviving activities and ship
 ping ore Between these two points excellent copper ore has been brought
 in by prospectors, from an entirely
 new find. It is very gratifying to
 see and hear of prospectors travelling
 the hills again. All metals are hign and are likely to remain so for a
 long time to come; th.s as might
 be expected, is a strong incentive. There are many old properties. some having lain idle for years. that have been taken up and have become i'm
 portant as producers.
 The greatest blight against us to- day is the strike at Clifton. Although things don't look exceedingly bright for an early settlement of this re-
 grettable affair, let us hope and trust it will soon be settled for the wei
 fare of the state. Wherever we look mines are coming in, the Zonia mine near Kirkland has commenced to ship ore. The Commercial at Copper Basin is increasing it's shipments monthly. The United Verde EXten- sioE is steadily keeping up its ship
 ments and making substantial inn provements. The Gibson mine at Globe has many leasers with similar attention all over the state. Proper ties have been taken over and devel- oped for what there is in them, and it is noticeable all over the state, not only around the established camps but in the further distant fields. It is to the interest of every one to support as much as possible these sound tendencies and conditions. It means a great deal to the state and every one in it. Let us help to de- monstrate and permanently establish the wonderful possibilities of our wonderful state. But this can only be accomplished by just and fair treatment to all those coming into our state to make the endeavor.

The district has further and greater possibilities and no doubt new mines probably as great as those already made are now in the making. Some of the area is of honest speculative interest and other holdings are openly an
