HAS KEEN EYE FOR BUSINESS
One English Volunteer Policeman Who
Probably Will Not Lose Much
BY the War.

The foibles of his ally John Bull are
even now not quite invisible to the
Frenchman. And the following story
Of a special constable, or volunteer po-
iceman, in London, is related not
without malice by a Paris paper. Just
after the~last Zeppelin raid, when
the orders against showing lights were
very strict, this special was on duty
in one of the suburbs. Every time
ne saw a house that was letting it's
lights shine too freely out Of it's win
dows he knocked at the front door
and called the attention of the house
holder to the rules in such cases made
and provided and to the danger. And,
as in becoming a special constable he
had not ceased to be a man of bust
ness, he not only called attention to
the badly shaded light, but suggested
contriVanCe for subduing the illu-
minatiCn This contrivancc he said.
he had tried in his own house with
the most satisfactory effect All with
the most disinterested air Imaginable
His next step was to draw from his
overcoat pocket sample of the con.
trivance itself. with the remark that
he had just happened to be carrying
it home to a particular friend who
had asked him to procure it. The
| result was that at the end Of his
| tour Of duty he had written down i'll
| little note book a couple Of hundred
| orders for the wonderful shade. which
meant that he was able to collect in
commissions, at the rate of a shil-
ling a shade. matter of c 5, or $50
or, to put it magnifcently in French
coinage, 125 francs.

GASEOUS FUMES
KILL ENGINEER
Frank E. Rodliffe Of Burlington the
Victim-His Assistant, Bushey Had
Narrow Escape.

BURLINGTON, April II. = Fran
E. Rodliffe, a well known electrician
of this city, is dead as the result OF
inhaling gaseous fumes while at work
in an electric light plant at the sum
mer home of George G. Wright of
Kansas City, located at the northern
most point of Grand Isle. Silas Bushey
Of Grand Isle Rodliffe 8 assistant
who was found unconscious beside him,
VIII live. The men were engaged in
recharging the storage batteries Of
the light plant which is located in a
small building also used as a garage
Rodliffe and Bushey went to work at
2 o clock Friday afternoon. 1t was
necessary for the men to work al!
night after the gasoline engine oper-
ating the dynamo that charged the
batteries was started. They were dis
covered unconscious at $50 SUNDAY
morning.
Help was instantly summoned an6
everything possible was done for the
men. Bushey recovered conscious
ness about clock in the afternoon
but Rodliffe never came out of tho
stupor. He died at clock last even
ing.
Just what killed Rodlife and af
-fected Bushey will not be known un
til an autopsy on Rodhffe's body
performed by DR.. B. II. Stone of tn
state laboratory Monday. Bushey SAYS
the last he remembers Friday nigh
was seeing Rodliffe put up his feet or
railing near the charging apparatu
and apparently drop off in doze At
ter that everything is a blank.
The theory is that the fumes from
the acid solution in the batteries es
capped and slowly overcame the tw
men. 1t is not supposed that gaso
ne fumes were responsible, althcug'
they might have helped.

nights ago, according to the Plain
Dealer Of that city. The toast list in
cluded the names of several eminent
people, and the attendance was very
large.
The first speaker introduced by the
POSTMASTER was one of the long-wiud-
ed variety. Twenty minutes is the
right length for an after-dinner
speech, it it is very interesting or very
witty. But at the end of forty-five
minutes this speaker was still going
strong, and he was beginning to try
to prove something by columns of
statistics
The second speaker got his heart
lest applause at the end of one min
ute. He said:
I shall not detain you long. In
listening to the remarks of the last
speaker beg his pardon for not
remembering his name: it was given
US by the postmaster. but that was
so long ago that l have forgotten it.

co may be avoided. Japan's interest in Mexico, north, central and south, being es- sentialy peaceful and commercial, any event bringing disturbances into the American market would be keenly felt in Japan This is especially true at a moment when the whole European trade is virtually closed to Japan and the Chinese market is seriously up set'
 This is convincing not necessarily be- cause a Japanese statesman says it, but be- cause 1t sounds reasonable, and because 1t seems to be supported by facts. Just the oth- CT day there was another rumor of Japanese warships being seen off the west coast of Mexico The Japanese embassy said that it had not heard of any ships being sent to Mex ico Admiral Winsow, when asked about it, replied that he had no evidence of the pres ence of such ships. Secretary Daniels said: We have heard that report many times and each time 1t proved unfounded.''
 It is fortunate that the Japs are able to establish an albi in Mexico If we are ob- Eged to fight the Mexicans it will be reassur- ;ng to know that we are not also fighting Japan and spilling our blood to serve her secret purposes

ARIZONA MAKING 4 RECORD-bREAk|NG
 PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4.-The mines and smelters of Arizona have been working at a pressure so high in 1916 that they are probably mak- ing record productions of all metals. If they continue to work at the pres ent rate during the year will make an output of over 6OO,000,O0O pounds of copper, against about 45O,OO0,OOO in 1915, according to reports re- ceived by the United States Geo. logical Survey from Victor c. Heikes of the Salt Lake office. A corres- bonding increase in the output ot the precious metals and an increase in that of lead and zinc, which is probable, will, at the greatly in creased price, make the total value of the output in 1916 nearly double that of 1915, which was about SSS,- 000,000
 Thus Arizona not only retains first place as a copper producer, but is
 producing at a rate nearly double that of any other state. Aside from general effort to take advantage of an unusually active market, seV- eral factors have aided this increase. such as the settlement of the strike at the. Clifton Morenci mines in Janu- ary. The international smelter, which treats Inspiration ore, contributes the greatest part of the increase, for
 this plant is supplying about one fourth of the total copper. Marked increases and improvements were made at the United Verde, Miami, Calumet and Arizona, and Old Do minon mines, and the Sasco plant in Pima county was agan blown in
 The railroad to Ajo was completed
 and work has been begun there on 1000 ton teaching plant.
 ] There is great activity in the pro
 duction of gold, especially in Mo
 have county, and the high price of
 zinc has stimulated production at
 the Tennessee, Union Basin and King
 man zinc properties. The mill at the Union Basin mine was enlarged, and
 work at the San Xavier mine in Pima | county was resumed.
