BRITAIN WANTS
 COPPER FACTS
 FROM AMERICA
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-American metal corporations, particularly those whose principal business is the export of copper, it was reported today. have been requested by direction of the British government through their rep resentatives in Great Britain to fur nish that government with certified lists of their stockholders, the name, the nationality and address of each and number of shares of stock owned by each. The corporations are said to have been informed also that the Brit ish government desires a list of their clients and to be kept informed of all charges in this list.
 Attention is called to the amended trading with the enemy act, which authorizes the king, at his discretion, to prohibit by proclamation any Brit ish subject from trading with any cor pOration outside the British dominions, which does business or has associated with it an enemy of Great Britain. Meetings of direceors of several of these corporations were held today to discuss the situation and to deCide upon some course of action Officials of the corporations gave it as their be- lief that no reply would be made until the question was laid before Secretary of State Lansing and the aid of the state department sought.
 The objection to furnishing Great Britain the information according to statements made by directors. lies chiefly in the fact that the knowledge thus gained by trade competing ma ton could be used to benefit their cor porations to the serious handicap of America by turning over to, rivals the business secrets of American firms.

POLICE PREPAREDNESS

The brief and bloody career of
the negro, Henry Mcintyre, who
held the police at bay in Chicago
last Tuesday, killing six persons
and wounding many others, was
one of the unexpected outbursts
of insanity against which no pro-
visions can be made. The best
policed city in the world could not
have made provision against it.
1t is true that the negro had
been insane for some time and had
been making threats against the
lives of others. A warrant had
been sworn out charging him with
disturbing the peace. But erratic
individuals and disturbers of the
peace are common in Chicago, and
there was nothing to lead the po-
lice to believe that McIntyre's case
was different from many others.
A remarkable thing is, however.
that the police were so poorly pre-
pared to cope with the situation,
when the shooting began. They
were early on the ground. They
forced their way into the house
and we're within striking distance
more than once. A thousand
shots we're fired in the unequal
battle between scores of police
men and the Negro and his wife.
Finally, it was necessary to dyn-
amite the house in order to prevent
further loss of lives.
1t always happens this way in
such an emergency. The battles
between the anarchists of London
and Paris and the police of those
cities are we'll remembered. A
handful of men fought hundreds
of policemen for hours. Twelve
years ago, in New Orleans, ne
gro, Robert Charles, barricaded
himself and killed large number
of policemen and citizens before
he was shot. Many other instances
might be mentioned.
1t is seldom that insanity takes
this deadly form, and the police
are never ready for it.
