COPPER !: AT HALF
 PRICE FOR COUNTRY
Producers Agree to Help Uncle
 Sam Gird His slnevs

Washington. March 21.-The cop- per producers of the country, as au l act or patriotism, have agreed to cut 1 in half the price of copper for Amer tcan army and navy uses for a per- l iod of one year. so as to enable the governments to pursue it's military preparedness projects without heiug charged war profits.
 Twenty million pounds of copper are to be furnished to the navy: dur- ing the coming year at the. rate of approximately 16 2-3 cents . pound. During the same period S,6lo, 900 pounds of copper are to be furnished tU the array at the satne price. The present market price of copper Is approximately 3S cents . pound. The price at which the. producers agree to furnish copper to the government iS less than half the prevailing market price The price at which the cor- per is to be furnished, 1s,67Ss cents a pound. Is the average selling price during the. last ten years.
 The total amount of copper for army and navy would cost at the mar ket price $17,e9a,800. At the re- 900. Thus the saving to the govern
 
 than the total outlay for the supply.
 The agreement between the govern ment and the copper companies. which Is understood to embrace tho Guggenheim. RYan, and Dodge in- terests. with others. was approved by Secretaries Baker and Daniels, after they had conferred with B. M. Ba- ruch of New York uity, . member of tho Council of National Defense, who conducted thes negotiations that re- suited in the agreement. MT. Baruch is chairman of sub o-comMittee of tho Council of National Defense which has charge of the metal supply for the army and navy.
 The names of the copper companies entering into the agreement to furnish copper at the low figure were not dis closed. but may be given out later. In announcing the arrangement tho Council of National Defense gave out the text of a letter received by Mr. Baruch. signed by nearly all the cops Ter producers of the country, in which they stated that they were will- ing to supply copper to the goveFla- nlent at this figure because they con- sidered 1t their duty to furnish the requirements of the government 'in preparing the nation for war with no profit more than we receive from our regular production in normal times."
 The amount of copper which the producers agree to furnish will be enough, it is believed. to supply the needs of the army and navy for year. The understanding Is that if this is not sufficient the price is to stand for all the copper the goveFa- ment needs during the twelve menths. l

WEALTHY ITALIAN REGA|NS SON BY
 PAYING RANSOM
St. Louis Boy, Who Disap- peared March 3, Found
 Exhausted by Priest.

St. Louis, March 13.-Frank Viviano, eight-year-old son of Gaetano Vivlano, wealthy Italian merchant, who was kidnapped March 3, while on his way to school, was found tonight, ex- hausted from hunger, by Father J. K. Butler, pastor of a Catholic church here.
 Following the boys disappearance, the police learned that the father had received a letter demanding $50.00o for the return of the boy. It was learned tonight that Viviano sent $4,000 to the kidnapers before the child was re- leased. .f
 Detectives have been without clues as to the boys kidnappers, but they declare Viviano has been in daily communication with the boys captors. Viviano is believed to have withheld information from the authorities, be- cause of fear that the boy would be killed or some other member of his family would be harmed.
 When found by Father Butler, the boy was crying, and said he had been dumped into the street from banana cart. He explained he had been cap tured by two Italians and carried across the Mississippi river ill a huckster's wagon, having been a prls- cner until today.
 Two cousins of Viviano were kid naped in August, 1909.
