JNTERNED RAIDERS
 ARE DECLARED MENACE

WASHINGTON, D, C.. Mar. 24.- Formal request for the removal from the League Island navy yard of the informed German commerce raiders Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm, or the 700 men comprising their crews, was made personally to Secretary Daniels yesterday by Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, on the ground that they constituted a menace to the safety of the city.
 The mayor was told that tranfer of inc German crews already was under consideration. He also was assured that every precaution was being taken 10 guard against the possibility of any disturbance by the German sailors and that they were under constant surveillance by the navy yard author Jties.
 No official report of the arrest on charges of smuggling of some of the Germans has reached the department. Officials said they had heard inform ally, however, that several arrests had been made and that rumors were current in Philadelphia that high explosives were being secretly taken aboard the ship. It has been suggested that the interned crews be sent to some inland barracks. but none have been found available.

 The Seattle Construction X Dry dock company, which already has a contract for one similar ship at less than $5,0OO,O0O, offered to build another in thirty months at $5,975,- coo Figures were submitted on the basis of an eight-hour day and the government would assume the cost for any speeding up expenses.
 The Fore River Shipbulding conl- pany proposed to build two ships in thirty and thirty-one months times at $5,596,OOO each.
 The proposal of the Union Iron Works stated that because of high freight rates and cost of labor on the Pacific coast the ships could not be built within the $6,O0O,O0O limit. As an act of patriotism, however, the company proposed to undertake con- struction of two at a flat price of $6.OOO.OOO each in thirty and thirty one months.
 The Cramps bid was based on the understanding that the company would not be required to construct battle cruiser as it's plants are not of sufficient capacity to build both scouts and battle cruisers at the same time.

T., March 24.-The Canadian Royal Northwest police ex- petition arrived here today with news of Stefansson. the Arctic explorer, who was with the Polar Bear winter ing at Prince of Wales strait. The news, the first in months of the ex- plorer, who was with the Polar Bear wintering at the Prince of Wales strait. The news, the first in months of the explorer, was brought from Herschel island by Capt. Lenauze, commander of the Herschel island police, who made the trip of 200 miles to Fort McPherson alone with dog team, considered a remarkable feat in Arctic travel.
 Lenauze says StefanssOn hopes the ice will let him escape northward, so that he can make the Northwest pas sage, concluding his voyage at Mon' treal. Lenauze says the explorer de clares the so-called white Eskimos are a myth.
 The expedition broughts news that Lenauze last summer crossed Coro- nation gulf from Great Bear lake and captured to copper Eskimos who it is charged murdered two Catholic priests, Fathers Rouviere and Lerouz in the vicinity of Dismal lake four years ago. They are held at Herschel Island and will be taken to Fort Nc Pherson in the spring.

Copper Sales and Production.

The first ten months of 1916 have witnessed an astounding production of copper. During this period 1,S00- 100000 pounds of refined copper were reproduced, representing an av- craze of 1SO.t00,00O pounds per month, indicating that the years to- ,al output will be not less than D. l 160,O00 pounds.
 The average price for copper up to November first was 27.56 cents per pound. Owing to the strong advance in the price of this metal the Novem- Der average will no doubt have reach ed 30 cents, while December will show an average of better than 31 cents.
 Assuming that the cost per pound to have averaged ten cents for the year, the net profits of the copper producing companies will be closely in the neighborhOod of $390,00O, 900.
 Never before has the Americas copper industry been on the same plane of earnings as at the present and never has the outlook ahead been 50 thoroughly endowed with those factors which imply continuance O: the metal condition now existing. Comparatively speaking the copper stocks with few exceptions, have been slow to respond to the proportionate metal prices and at their present val nations judged by the profits earned and dividends yielded are selling con siderably below market value.

TRAGIC END BEFALLS
 ONCE FAMOUS BANDIT

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 9.-Charles Howard, also known as Charley High a former member of the famous Jesse James gang, was burned to death Friday morning in a ranch house sev- en miles from this city, where he had been employed as caretaker.
 Howard was considered one of tn. most desperate of the gang of the days of the raid at Independence, Mo. and was as much sought after as the leaders themselves. His influence among the followers of the James boys was almost as great as theirs, i, Is said
 There was nothing in the appear ance of Howard in later years to stamp him as a once famous desper- ado. He was very quiet, reserved. and would slide around a quarrel or harsh words whenever possible. He
