Surplus Copper In U. s. Is Estimated
 At Billion Pounds
TRepubIican A. ?. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Surplus copper stocks in the United States were estimated today by experts of the geological survey at between 750, ,000,000 and 1,250,000,o00 pounds. At the survey, little credence was given reports that the great surplus remaining after the war had been disposed of.
 An appreciable reduction in stocks of blisters has been noted recently but only comparatively slight re- duction in refined coppers, it was said, and the surplus was estimated to be sufficient to supply domestic consumption at the present rate for at least six months and possibly a year.

Business Men Are Not Pleased With

That many Topeka merchants were
not pleased with the abrupt dismissal
of George B. Frost, chief of detectives,
from the Topeka police force Tuesday
afternoon, was evidenced today when
representative business men declared
they intended to see that he is put
back with the department.
The discharge of Frost was one of
the first acts accompanying the change
of administration. Guy Swallow, new
" appointed chief, succeeded Frank
Leeeh, who, in turn stepped into
Frost's place. Frost was let out en-
tirely, in spite of his long, commend
able record with the department.
Chief Swallow said today there
would probably be no more changes
in the immediate future. Frost would
be relieved from duty entirely for the
present time he said.

The recent legislature adopted a

possibility of a veto by the governor.
On this theory, the state legal depart
