CHOLERA KILLED
 TEN THOUSAND
American Physicians Assert that Native Filipino Officials are In-
 competent and Dishonest.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.- Dr. Helebow, who was sent to the Philippine Islands to investigate con- ditions and help the health authori- ties to stamp out disease. appeared before the senate committee yester- day and told of the ravages of chol- era in the islands. He stated that ten thousand Filipinos had died dur ing the present year from cholera.
 Dr. Helebow severely criticised the administration policy in the islands and declared that the native health officers were incompetent and had taken no precautions to check the ravages of the disease. His experi- ences among the native officials had convinced him that they were unfit for office as many of them were dis honest and had fio conception of busi- ness as compared with American standards.
 He says that the cholera was pre- vented from spreading to all of the islands and the United States by stringent precautions which were adopted by the American physicians

 Been Taken in the Case.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The trial of the directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad di- rectors for misappropration of the company's funds and violation of the interstate commerce laws, is drawing to a close The federal prosecution yesterday announced that the gov ernment's testimony was all sub- mitted and that it would rest its case on the evidence.
 The trial has consumed more than two months, during which time more than one million, five hundred thou sand words of testimony have been taken.

 The conviction of the directors it is announced by counsel represent ing minority stockholders of the New Haven, will be followed by suits to compel the directors to make restitu- tion of funds wrongfully appropria- ted from the company's treasury to the directors own uses.

 Fears Big Corporations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.- Secretary Lane's annual report to congress will urge continuation of the administrators Alaskan policy of cooperation with the territorial legislature for the development of the territory.

It is the duty of the government, the report will state, to protect the people of Alaska from monopolies.

Did Not Appear Before Committee to Substantiate Charges Against
 New York Prosecutor.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.--- Representative Frank Buchanan of Illinois, who denounced Federal Prosecutor Marshal, of New York, on the floor of the House few days ago, has failed to substantiate his charges He had charged the official with hay ing prostituted his office for the ben eft of the capitalists who were en- gagged in the manufacture of muni- tions for the Allies.
 Buchanan claimed that Marshal had libeled innocent persons by caus- ing their arrests on mere suspicious that they were implicated in the al- legged plots to destroy intuition fac tories and otherwise violate the neu- trality laws of the United States. Marshal had secured convictions of the officials of the Hmburg Steamship company on charges of having sent coal and supplies to the German warships but had failed to take action against agents of the An glo-French governments who had openly violated American neutrality. laws.
 The House appointed committee to hear testimony as Buchanan had stated that he would file impeach- ment proceedings against Marshal to cause his removal from office. When the charge met yesterday he failed to appear and it is believed the charges will be dropped.

FORD MEETS WITH
 COOL RECEPTION
Delegates Are Not Permitted to Land in England and Not Received
 by Norwegian Societies.

CHRISTIANA, Norway, Dec. 1S.- Henry Ford's peace ship, Oscar H. reached here last night and the peace delegates have received a cool recep. tion. The various societies of the city have refused to formally re- ceive Ford but have shown him the attention due a distinguished pri- vate citizen.
 It is reported the members of the party were not permitted to land when the ship called at Kirkwall, En- gland, as their passports as granted by Secretary Lansing were for ports in neutral countries only. When in- terviewed by representatives of En- glish newspapers Ford told them his expedition had been ridiculed in the United states before leaving and that the capitalistic press of America had charged him with being pro-Ger- man.
 He believes that his expedition will be able to accomplish it's pur- pose of calling the soldiers from the trenches. but does not explain how it is to be accomplished as it is now ev- ident that the warning nations will prevent him or his delegates enter ing their countries.

German Pension system.

NEW YORK: In reply to inquir- ies and to correct misapprehensions about the relief extended by the Ger man government to the relatives of soldiers killed in the war, the North German Gazette gives exact details concerning this relief.
 The rate depends first on the rank of those killed. The widow of pri- vate soldier receives yearly an aver age of 400 marks ($100), the widow of a non-commissioned officer 500 marks ($125), of Sergeant 600 marks ($15o).
 Each child of private or non- commissioned officer whose father is killed in the war receives 168 marks ($42), year on an average and each child left an orphan receives 24O marks ($6O. In cases where to military law for relief of soldiers families, the regular relief is extended at a reduced rate per child on account of there being sev- eral children in a family, the differ ence may be offset by special dona- tions.

That necessity is the mother of in. vention Is instanced in the case oi Iditarod miners who are using a new method to thraw frozen ground. The old method of using a heavy pros pecting boiler, weighing about 450 pounds. has been superseded by hot water pump method which is report ed very convenient and can be trans ported anywhere, as it weighs only about 30 pounds. A large flat pan of water is placed on an open fire and the hot water is pumped into pipes and forced into the frozen ground. The method has been found to be more eff1cacious than the old steam way.

NOVEMBER GREAT MONTH
 FOR COPPER SALES

BOSTON: The month of Novem- Der, 1915, will go down in copper history as one of the most remark able periods that the copper selling fraternity has ever known. It prom ises to exceed in volume of business the previous high record month of June. In point of future deliveries contracts taken, however, there is no question but that November will ex- eeed all previous marks.
 One of the largest porducing in- terests states that while its copper sale in June were something in ex- cess of 100000 pounds, it has this mouth already sold S5,ooo,000 pounds--this was several days ago with the result that it is practically four or more months sold ahead.
 We know of another large produc- CT which was 95 days sold ahead in the month of June and is today over 1O5 days sold ahead. That copper buying occurs in great waves is well illustrated by the manner in which copper was taken by manufacturers during the two months referred to.
 An interesting development in the copper situation Is the fact that alum mum which is now selling at 60 cents . pound, is no longer a competitor of copper at 20 cents per pound, In fact wd know of certain long distance transmission lines in the west which have been taken down, the aluminium sold at prevailing fancy prices. and substitution made of the stronger and higher conductivity copper wire.
 Aluminium has never been a very serious competitor of copper, al- though the white metal has at times displaced the red metal when alumi- mum prices were relatively low and copper prices relatively high. It would not be surprising if quite a number of aluminium transmission lines were scrapped in order to real ize the attractive profit through cop per replacement
 While the export demand has been the backbone of the recent copper market, manufacturers tell us that there has been very pronounced inn provement during the last 30 days in the1Hire industry in this country, and they look for still further improve ment by reason of the impetus which cheap money gives to the creation and development of public utility enterprises.-Boston News Bureau.
