THE U-41 CASE.

BERLIN. Jan. 10.-(Wireless to Say ville)-"The British admiralty" says an Overseas News Agency statement today. has declared that the German reports regarding the destruction of submarine U-41 and the ill-treatment of Lieut. Crompton and Jason Godau were false. The official report of Lieutenant Crompton. who is interned in Switzerland. has now arrived and fully confirms the German press re- ports.
 The attitude of the British steamer towards the U-41 as well as the brutal treatment of the survivors on board the steamer on the way to England were even worse than previously had been reported The details show that a treacherous attack was made by British steamer which flew the Ameri- can flag while she was firing at the submarine: they show also an at tempt to ram a life boat with two survivors. of whom one was seriously wounded. the inhuman treatment of them on board the steamer; the ef- forts made to cause the two unfortun- ate brave men to perish In order to dispose of the last two eye witnesses and prove that this British crime against civilization and humanity far eclipses even the Baralong and the King Steven cases"

His Whereabouts Unknown, Though It Is Supposed He Is at His Peoples Home in Western Pennsylvania.
(By Review Leased Wire)

| NEW YORK, Jan. lU-lne Wnert- abouts of Harry K Thaw. indicted here On a charge of Kidnapping and assaulting 19-year-old Fred Gump, Jr.. of Kansas City, Mo-, remained mys- | tery today to the district attorney and his corps of detectives who have been searching for him although di- rectly or indirectly the police of all cities have received notice that he is wanted here.
 Unoffcially the belief was express ed at the prosecutors office that Thaw had made his way to his home in Pittsburg and there under protec- ton of his family, undoubtedly was being advised by competent counsel as to what course to pursue. The au- thorities here made detailed examin- ations as to how it happened he slip ped through their fingers when they were hot on his trail" both here and in Philadelphia.
 His escape was explained by the fact. they said, that since he was so well-known they gave their chief at tention to arresting the man known to them as George O'Byrnes. indicted jointly with Thaw on the Kidnapping count While the police were wait ing for an opportunity to catch O'Pyrnes, Thaw escaped.
 Shortly afterward a man answering .A h4 hA, had given of Thaw's companion. appeared at Thaw's Philadelphia hotel and was arrested on the assumption that he was O'Byrnes. He proved, however, to be Oliver Bower, formerly of Utica. New York, also associated with Thaw, but against whom there was no indictment
 Although the arrest of Brewer was at first a disappointment, the district attorneys men say they found him valuable in developing their case A number of documents and letters hay ing an important bearing on Thaw's relations with young Gump were found in Brewers possession and some of this evidence was presented before the grand jury today. It was ex- uected that another indictment might result.
 Brewers movements were traced and it was found that subsequent to the assault on Gump he had gone to the hotel. Meanwhile. the authori- ties here say O'Byrnes has disappear ed They have no idea where he is and no better description of him than that given by the Gump boy to guide them in the sarch.
 Frank P Walsh. counsel for Gump, was in consultation throughout the day with Assistant District Attorney Wm. H. Black. who is presenting the case to the grand jury. He refuses to give any further details of the information he has against Thaw, saving that since it was inextricably bound up with the matter now be- fore the grand jury it would be i'm proper for him to say anything at present
 On advices from Pittsburg that the nolice there would not arrest Thaw unless they had copy of the in- dictment against him, Mir Black sent copy to them tonight.

EraternaI Rrotherhood

Stirring events have occurred in the local chapter, Maricopa No. 43 the Kraternal Brotherhood, and more are still in store. These are stirring times Maricopa No. 43 has been in the lead in all events. She was the first to ad- vocate the paying the dues of all lives to our country's call. Next she threw traditions to the wind, and opened her ever hospitable doors to the boys in khaki. All honor is his, and why should he be barred from participating in our enjoyments, when perhaps he will lay his life on the altar of democracy. Now all the mem bership has volunteered their services to any cause to which our country may call.
 The election of officers took place and the attendance was fine. The of ficers for the next term are as fol lows: President, L. A. Risk, reelected to office: vice president, Merle J. Hinton; chaplain, Daisy Lee; secre- tary, D. A. Fraser, reelected ser geant-at-arms Chas. w. Billings: mistress -at-arms, Mrs. Swo-~; outer doorkeeper. Minnie Bruiger; finance committee. Bertha Nisbet and Mary Naylor; trustees, J. D. McNeley and B. E. Marks.

Fraternal Brotherhood. The hall was beautifully decorated with the colors of the lodge under the colorS of our country and chandeliers trapped in the colors mingled with greenery, making a beautiful setting The pres ident's chair was profuseiy decorated with the colors of the lodge and banked with greenery. The work of the drill team was worthy of com mendauon, considering the shortness of time in which they got ready and the work was put on with snap, work ing with military precision. Sister Neidig made a very interesting and instructive address which was received with enthusiasm by the membership present, which was the largest that has been in the hall for more than d year.
 After the business meeting was over the new members, old members, all joined in doing honor to Sister Nei- dig and justice to the spread which the ladies of the lodge furnished. Aft CT all had participated of the festive board, MT.

ORGANIZED LABOR MUST GET BEHIND
 FOOD LEGISLATION
Republican A. P. LeasoG wirel

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Organ- ized labor was called upon formally by the American Federation of Labor to- day to get behind the campaign for enactment of the administration food legislation by July l. All unions were urged in a letter by President Gompers to press their congressman fo rprompt action.
 MT. Gompers said:
 Since the war wages have not kept pace with the increasing cost of liv- ing, they have remained practically stationary while prices have more than doubled. The only practical way to in crease the spending incomes of all IS to decrease the cost of living.
 "A grave danger confronts the American people; the danger of hum ger, which unless our government takes immediate and effective action to pre- vent, will pOrtend greater injury than the threat of the foreign foe.
 The proposed legislation does not set up food dictatorship. It does not purpose to ration the people, but at tempts to protect the people against speculation by practical means.
 Tn order to secure the fullest ben efits from the Lever bill it must be made law before July l. Every worker NHp WISHES lONeT prices or the neceS- saries of life can be helpful in securing the immediate enactment of the Lever bill The following suggestions are made to those who wish to help:
 Let every trade union, every central body. every state federation of labor. every international organization take official action upon this matter and communicate that to your respective congressman in the house of represen- tatives,/your senators and to the pres ident of the United States.
 Tn addition to this formal official action let every individual member of the organized labor movement write d personal letter or send some communi- cation to his or her representative and senator. Ask your friends to take simi- lar action, ask all organized bodies within your locality to express to their representatives at the national capital their desire for the Immediate passage of legislation that will reduce the cost of the necessities of Nc

FUTURE PLANS ARE ESSENTIAL
 SAYS SPEAKER

Planning for the Future" was the theme taken by Dr. R. E. von Klein Smid. president of the University of Arizona. in his commencement address to Indian School students last evening. Hundreds of persons attended the final commencement exercises last night, which were given at the open air band stand at the Indian school plaza.
 Tt is necessary that you students make complete plans for your future and not go through life in a haphaZard manner, as is all too frequently the case. During your school life plans are made for you by your instructors and teachers. but when you finish your education here, you are thrown upon your own resources and must fight your own way.
 "To properly fit yourself for the worlds battle, you must even now, start to plan for future years. You cannot go through life in d successful manner without having some goal to attain. Set your mark now and fight until you reach that mark. or even sur pass it. Do not falter in face of adver- sities. but keep going. It is essential to your own well being"

 MANAGER |S HELD
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DOUGLAS, June 16.-Las Chispas mine near Arizpe, Sonora, belonging to Swiss American company, has been seized by local officials of Arizpe. George Reed, a British subject, man ager of the property. is a prisoner in the camp. according to a telegram re- ceived here today.
 The manager is held prisoner and the property taken charge of in order to force the company to pay wages of employees for the period it was oper- ated by the state.
 The property was seized several months ago by the Sonora government on account of non-payment of taxes and inSistence upon searching miners for high grade ore. For two months it was operated by men employed by the state. Three weeks ago, after a con ference, it was returned to the con- pany and Reed put in charge.

COPPER MOUNTAIN CLAIMS ARE SOON
 TO BE DEVELOPED

MAYER, Ariz., Aug. 4.-Three or the five mine leasers of Bisbee. John Ross. w. A. Tucker and James Smith. have returned to Mayer after completing arrangement at Bisbee for extensive development work on the Barbara group of mining claims located on the south end of Copper Mountain, three miles east of here. They propose to put their own money into the develop ment work. The property is only a short distance south of the Binghamp' ton and Copper Queen mines, which are attracting so much attention now on account of the recent strikes Of high grade copper ore.
 It is stated on the best of author ity that work Is soon to be resumed at the old Stoddard Copper mine To- cated at the north end of Copper noun tain. The control of the property is owned by Senator W. H. Reynolds Of New York. Celora Stoddard of Phoe' nix is also a heavy owner. The com pany Is to be reorganized and the mine placed on a paying basis.

MINES FROM
 INV W SAYS BOSTON
 PAPER TO UNCLE SAM
The Boston News Bureau says:

The Boston News Bureau says:
 We understand that the governor of Arizona has received notification from the adjutant-general at Fort Sam Houston. Texas. that after August l, no federal troops will be available for protecting the mining properties and major utility operations and that the various states and municipalities will have to arrange for their own protec- tion independent of the federal gov ernment.
 Tt is almost needless to say that mining companies are greatly alarmed at the prospect of being without the federal protection to which they are entitled and are trying to place them selves in communication with the prop CT Washington authorities to see if some modification of this order can not be secured.
 "In a state like Arizona the local authorities in the various cities and towns are utterly incapable of afford ing the protection requored in the event that the I. w W's or any other lawless body of miners see fit, as they have done in times past. to destroy property and disregard the rights of American citizens.
 Coming at a time when the the maximum copper output Is so essen tial in preparing the nation for it's part in the world conflict. it would seem as though the federal government would be disposed to go the limit in protecting the coppermines from any interference from striking miners or socialistlc agitators.
 Tt is significant that the labor lead CTS had knowledge of the above edict from the adjutant-general before the mine owners themselves"

Writing in the Boston News Bureau under the caption. War Finance" c. w. Barron contributes the following on copper:
 "The only reason copper under the war demand stopped this side of 40 cents was because five years of prep aration in the copper fields of North and South America fruited last year in a 40 per cent gain in output. This is something unprecedented in the copper world and there is nothing in sight by which it can be repeated.
 "The late Leonard Lewisohn used to declare the difference between a good and a bad copper market was a per cent variation in the supply or demand. It broke the back of Amal- gamated Copper, with all the Standard Oil millions behind it, to attempt to store copper. Fifteen years previous ly all the banking credits of the world had been found insufficient to enable Secretan to store and hold copper.
 "1t is thus clear that copper must be sold as it is produced and it is produced no otherwise than as it is sold.
 "U. S. Great Copper Producer.
 From two-thirds to three-quarters of the worlds copper supply is pro duced on this side of the Atlantic. and until the war period the total produc- tion of the world had never crossed the mark of 1000 100000 pounds. Yet last year the United States refineries, which refine the copper of North and South America. put forth 2,S11,OOO,OOO pounds, as compared with 1,6S4, ,2OA,- 900 pounds in 1915. which was substan- tially the output of 1913.
