COPPER GOES UP
AND WEALTH FOR
DOUGLAS LOOMS
Confidence in Strength OF
Price Is Expressed ON Every
Hand

The price of copper, after lingering
in the doubtful realm of 13 and so
many tenths cents for many moons,
yesterday moved upward and regis
tered at IA cents when the market
closed. Douglas business men who
have watched the market carefully
were jubilant when the wires brought
the new high price.
The sentiment was unanimous that
if copper only stayed at IA it would
mean great prosperity for this district
and the general opinion among bust
ness and financial circles was that the
red metal which means so much TO
Douglas and to all Arizona would, in
all probability, go up higher still.
1t was pointed out that, for the past
few years there has been a steady and
persistent effort put forth to control
the supply of copper to such an extent
that the price would go up to a level
on which copper could be mined and
smelted at a profit to the operators,
and students of the situation here were
confident yesterday that the rise is due
to the proper curbing of production
and will be a permanent betternent.
Rex Rice of Rice and company,
brokere,s told the Dispatch reporter,
"If copper only stays at Il cents 1T
will mean prosperity of fine sort for
this part of Arizona" Rice would Of
fer no opinion on the stability of the
market more than to say that he. had
high hopes that the price would stay
up.
Fred Hubbell of the Hubbell Realty
company said, "This is not the best
price, copper will continue to go up
and will probably reach Is cents by
the first of the year" He continued,
"The market is, I believe, finally re-
duced to proper equation and I fully
expect copper to stay high enough to
bring great prosperity to Douglas"
Tom Glenn, well known local real
estate man, said that the IA cent price
was only an indication of what the
market is to do He predicted that
the price would go very much higher
in the near future.
Efforts were made yesterday to
reach James S. Douglas for state
ment on the copper situation, as he
is believed to be in very intimate
touch with the situation, but the u V
x chief was hurrying to train on
his way to Jerome and declined to
make statement

He stated that federal troops were
held in readiness to rescue ThOmp-

that use of the troops was neces-

here whether he had been picked
up by the troops after release or
rescued as consequence of
battle between the outlaws and
government soldiers. '.af'

The letter was received late to-
day by Senator Gurus, VINO said
he would reply to it in due time.
Meantime, he declined to discuss the
proposals, or to indicate what would
be the nature of his reply.
Senator LaFollette, who acted as
spokesman for the group, refused to
say what course the Independents
would take if the requested assurances
we're not forthcoming, but the obvious
alternative seemed to be opposition
to the republican organization slate
in the senate,
Three Of the outstanding members
of the independent group-Borah OF
Idaho; Norris, of Nebraska and
Brookhart of Iowa-did not sign the
letter to Curtiss. Borah and Brook
hart are not in accord with the pro-
posal for NfcNary- -Haugen bill with

sons were given why Norris did not
sign.

made, the leaders hoding that the
reelection of these officers is not
necessary since the senate is a con-

The democrats have nominated
candidates for both positions and
whether they will agree with the
republican leaders that vote on
these offices is necessary remains to
be determined,

WILL
ATTEND HAVANA
MEETING In JAN.
Mr.. Coolidge viii Address
Sixth Pan-Americar
Congress In Cuba

WASHINGTON Dec. 2 R-PreSi
dent Coolidge has decided to go to
Havana in January to, address the
sixth Pan American congress. AL
though it had been expected for some
time that he would make the trip,
definite announcement of his inten-
tons was not made at the White
House until today.
Unless his plans are upset by some
unforeseen development the president
will travel by rail to Key West,
Florida, and there will board an
American warship for Cuba. He is
expected to return by the same route.
Although the date Mr. Coolidge
plans to arrive in the Cuban capital
was not disclosed, 1t is probable that
he will be there for the opening
session of the congress. January 16.
Present plans are to have Secretary
Kellogg, possibly Secretary Wilbur,
and at least some or the members
of the American delegation to the
congress accompany him. Mrs. Cool
idSe also is expected to make the
trip.
1t was said at the White House
that the president might not spend
more than "a hours in Havana. He
is expected to arrive there the after
noon of the day before he addresses
the congress, and to start on his
return to the United States late in
the day of his speech or the next
morning.
The fact that congress will be IN
session at the time, and the demands
of the White House social season,
it was said, hare prompted the presi-
dent in his decision to make hur-
ried trip.
The desire of Mr.. Coolidge to be
absent from Washington no longer
than necessary is expected to pre-
vent him from accepting any OF the
numerous invitations to stop off re-
ceived from southern cities since it
became known that he had the Ha-
vana trip under serious consideration

Of NATIONS
Won Bernstorff Injects Ar
ticIe 19 Into Security Dis
cussiOn.
MOVE FRONTIERS
Allied Powers Would Hold
Sacred Existing Treaties
and Pacts.

GENEVA, Dec 2 (P-Germany to-
day made what was widely interpreted
as delicate move for revision of the
Versailles treaty. This was the con-
cluSion drawn from an address by
Count Won Bernstorff, former German
ambassador to the United States, and
now German representative at the
preparatory disarmament conference
before the security committee
Real international security which
will reduce the possibility of conflicts
between nations implies the fixation
OF frontiers, which all countries can
accept, was the opinion voiced in Ger
man non-official circles tonight fol-
lowing upon Count Won. Bernstorff's
declaration that article 10 should be
given Importance by the security COM
mittee in the proposed study of the
league Of nations covenant.
This is the article which says that
the league assembly may advise re-
consideration of treaties which become
inapplicable, The German delegates
insistence on lblle inclusion of this
article was generally felt to point to-
ward the treaty of Versailles.
Perceiving the conitnotion caused by
the statement of Count Won BernStorff
the Germans made efforts tonight to
minimize its Importance, saying that
it would be mistake to deduce that
Germany thereby Intentionally had
launched campaign to revamp the
treaty
1t was stated that Germany is in
terested in the possible revision of all
treaties which are found inapplicable
and the oiscontinuance of interna-
tional conditions which unchanged
might endanger peace.
1t was further remarked that if
Germany really had any intentions OF
making such q move, 1t would be For
eign Minister Stresemann himself, who
would do it.
Despite this, however the impress
sion continues strong that Count Von
Bernstorff wished to fix the import
ancc of the revision article firmly in
the mind of the committee when ii
comes to studying how certain other
articles more Immediately linked with
the problem of security can best be
interpreted and best observed in order
that genuine security may be created
as the basis of disarmament.
The opinion held by the so-called
allied powers is that security is best
guaranteed by recognizing as sacred all
existing treaties.

the first great demand of the German

exposition which will bring to this
city Americas leading ayiators and

with the dedication of the Tripie-A
municipal airport next fall, it was
announced today by the aviation
committee OF the chamber of COM
merce. Bonds to build the airport
were voted BY the city last week.
DR.. Hugo Eckner, head of the
German Zeppelin works at Fried
richshafen, has sent word to the
aviation committee of the San Diego
Chamber Of Commerce that the first
long distance test flight of the new
airship building at Friedricishaf
will be from Beflifi to this city.
This huge airship, twice as large as
the dirigible Los Angeles, according
to report is to be powered with
new type engines burtiing illuminate
ing gas instead of liquid fuel The ship
is reported by Dr.. Eckner to have
a cruising radius of $4,000 miles
carrying more than 40 passengers.
The fuel which the dirigible's
motors will burn has, it is reported,
the same specific gravity as air. The
local committee says 1t is possible
that after remaining at San Diego
the airship will attempt a flight to
Asia and thence back to Germany,
thereby completing the first flight
around the world by lighter than
air ship.

only had an air mail service out OF

certain of getting this paper to
Wichita in time to secure the extra

Gentry, accompanied by his first
assistant, B. G. Thompson, arrived
in the city last evening from Tomb-
stone for the purpose OF securing a
deposition from Mrs Josephine Bla-
lack, which is required in addition
to ordinary requisition papers in
order to secure the extradition of
j. P. Willis from Wichita, Kansas
Willis is wanted here on warrant
sworn to by Mrs. Glalack charging
that he obtained approximately $1,000
from her under false pretenses. The
man is putting up hard fight
against extradition, according to
County Attorney Gentry, and the
additional document was wired ror
yesterday by Fred Bennett, deputy
sheriff, who was sent to Wichita to
bring the man home.
Gentry told Dispatch reporter last
night that he understood that Willis
who is well known in Arizona, had
wired Governor G.. w. P Hunt ask
ing him not to sign the extradition
papers. The papers were, however,
secured from Governor Hunt several
days ago and all that now stands
between Willis and trial here is the
request for additional documents by
the Kansas governor.
