NEW YORK, May 8.-Stephen Birch. President of the Kennecott Copper, told the stockholders that the company expected this year to be as good if not better than last, as far as the red metal is con- cerned.
 Birch said the Kennecott group of mines had S93 100000 in cash and copper, of which more than $73 100000 was Kennecott's equity. Most of the metal has been sold.
 The President said the company produced 8O1 100000 pounds of cop per last year and sold about 930, 000,000 pounds, the balance coming from stocks.
 "At present, our production is in line with consumption, which is 9 very healthy situation Only about 45, 900 tons of copper have beer sold for export and domestic ship ments at above 20 cents per pound by the copper industry" said Birch

BALLOON DOWN

One Entry in Elimination Race Drops Crew
 Has Hard Trip

NEWCOAIB, N. Y, May 8. = A party of trappers have been or ganized to salvage the balloon in which two aeronauts dropped in the wilds of the Adriondacks four days ago.
 E. J. Hill and Arthur Schlosser, crew of the Detroit Times entry in the National Elimination Con- test, emerged late yesterday from the wilderness where they had wan dered two days, beset with hunger and cold and seeking their way to civilization
 Hill and Schlosser travelled about $50 miles. The pair said their ad- ventures after lant ing were no more exciting than the flight. They battled in snow, fog and thunder storms to keep iron being blown out to sea. They lost their food supply and were foiced to dump their load.
 The region were they landed is sparsely settled and persons un- familiar with the country travel days without finding house.

 Scalisi and Anselmi are reported to be henchmen of Al Capone. Sca1isi was freed on $50,000 bond a week ago pending trial as one of the Moran gang executioneers.

 Between 3O,00O and 10000 suf- ferers live in Chicago" he said. Chicago loses $1,oO0,00O every sum mer because of the thousands who must run away from this atmos- phere, not counting loss of time from business and the money spent for treatments.
 There is one way out-eradica- ton of ragweed. One-tenth of Chi cago's 10000 acres of vacant lots can grow ragwecd. If 10000 suf- ferers could each set aside $10 for wedding one acre of ragweed, the work of eradication in Chicago could be accomplished by August. ?

THREE ARE SLAIN IN RENEWAL OF CHICAGO GANG WAR
SUN ECLIPSE DRAWS
 S4VANTS TO BORDER
 OF THE INDIAN OCEAN
By LOUIS F. LOCHNER "A. P. COrreSuOndentl

BERLIN, May 8.-Five minutes of total eclipse of the sun, predict ed by astronomers for tomorrow, set in motion three expeditions Of German savants to make observa- tions in Northern Sumatra, Siam, and the Philippines.
 The first group will test the ef- fleets of Einstein's relativity theory; the second will investigate the spec trun of the suns corona; the third will attempt to show by photo graphs that sun spots determine the shape of the corona. The costly ex- petitions have been undertaken in the full knowledge that unfavorable weather may balk them completely.
 Localities Unfavorable
 According to Professor A. Kopff director of the Astronomic Mathe- nautical Institute at Berlin-Dah- lem, the regions in which the ob- observation of the total eclipse is possible, are not favorably located. The totality zone for the most part cuts through the Indian Ocean and touches land only in the northern part of Sumatra, on the peninsula of Malakka, and in the middle sec ton of the Philippines.
 Besides, experience has shown that in the tropics the conditions for observing total eclipses are less favorable than in temperate zones. But an eclipse of such long dura- ton is so unusual that astronomers of the whole world have neverthe- less made preparations for its ob- servation."
 The first German group consists Of Potsdam professors, headed by Dr. Erwin Freundlich, Dr. von Klueber and Dr. Walter Grotrian. It will make it's observations in the highlands of North Sumatra. Freundlich and von Klueber will test the existence of the so-called Ennstein effect. According to Fin stein, ray of light is deflected slightly in the pursuit of what was previously assumed to be an abso- lutely straight course, in other words, even the "straightness' of rays is only relative. The proof of this can be tested, however, only on those rare occasions when the sun is eclipsed so completely that the astronomer can observe the stars near the sun and measure the course of light emanating from them.
 Relative Luminosity
 Professor Grotri m, the third member of the Potsdam group, hopes to determine the relative luminosity of the lines of the suns corona in the various spectral fields. The outer atmosphere en- veloping the sun, known as it's CO., roma and visible only during a to- tai eclipse, according to Professor Kopff, emits light which on spec tral analysis reveals not only Q continuous spectrum, but also light spectral lines Professor Grotrian intends to photograph the corona spectrum with varying apparatus to determine the relative luminos- ity of the lines This problem has been tackled experimentally only within a few years.
 The second group of German sa- wants is led by Prof. Hans Stobbe and Dr. Rosenberg of the Kiel Ob- servatory. They took apparatus to an observation station near Kobe Bhodi, in the Siamese section of the Malakkan peninsula. Like their Potsdam colleagues, Rosenberg and Stobbe will concern themselves with
