(Special Telegiam.) -A cablegram from London tonight Bays: ''Word waa received in London today that tlia Amalgamated Copper company has bought control of Utah copper. Copper ex pert aay If thla la true it means the be ginning of a copper merger." Effort to obtain expresslona from the big Operators In copper were futile owing to the fact that nearly everybody supposed to be well informed on the aubject was out of town. Charles U. Dlgnowlty of Salt Lake City, one of the biggest Individual producers of the country, was seen at the Waldorf-Astoria. Ha declared that he be lieved that the cablegram, "hit very near to the truth.' "Only yesterday," he said, 'I received a letter from my son In Lon don, telling me that arrangements virtually 'have been perfected for a merger of the great copper Interests of the world on a basis quite similar to that which has made ao signal A success of the steel trust. He told me John Ryan, president of the Amalagamated; Prof. Penrose, organizer of the Utah Copper company and Its directing genius and other big men In the business were In Loitdou and they had entered Into an agreement with the Rothaohllds, the Baron Illrsch crowd and other groups of English capitalists specially Interested In copper, whereby production Is to be con trolled and the Industry put on a footing similar to the steel and Iron industry. Morgan Harking, It. "I have known for a year of efforta In this direction, but 1 did not place much con fidence In them until I learned that J.

The movement of copper on the stock exchange and la Europe for the last week or so confirms my opinion. TJtalis gave gone up rapidly as had also Amalgamated. " ' "Contrary to general belief the Ouggen thelms don't own or control the Utah prop erties. They merely have a long term con tract for amelUr.g the products of those properties. Thla, In a sense gives them con trol, but not the scrt of control that would enable them to prevent the sale of the properties to the Amalgamated or any other Concern strong enough to puy mem. "Then, too, I "knew that Prof. Penrose, who developed the properties and who still in the dominant factor In their management, liaa been working harmoniously with the Morgan-Guggenheim crowd to bring about a, 'gentlemen' agreement.' "If the arrangement ha at last been ef fected It means much to the Industry. We Independent producers will be benefitted quite at much as the big fellows. We will make a bigger porfit than we have been permitted for the last year by the amelter truat o make. The Bmelter trust, you know, Is controlled by the Guggenheim, whose relation with Mr. Morgan and the Xuhn-Loeb group of financier here and In Europe are very close. "The Standard Oil crowd are real owner cf Amalgamated. John D. Ryan la merely their representative. It Is evident that when the Standard Oil people learned that the RothBchllda and the Hlrscha had bought into United States Mining and Smelting, they concluded It was time to call a halt on present conditions and entered a truce that amounts to a gigantic World trust In copper.

MANUFACTURERS SLOW TO , BID Too Much Business on Hand to Figure on Government Contracts, MONEY KEEPS ROLLING THIS WAY Flow of Cash is No Longer Going Across the Ocean. POSITIONS FOR TnE YOUNG MEN Students la Demand for - Positions with ' Knajlneerlnaj rartles to Work In Mountain and on the Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 24.-(Speolal.) This is the time when all the government departments are engaged in making con tracts for fixtures, supplies and material, also, for the construction of public build Ings. The result of the recent opening of bids demonstrates very clearly the condi tion of business throughout the country. There are a number of big concern, es pecially among manufacturer of steel, that never bid upon government work when they have plenty of commercial business to at tend to. They seem to go upon the theory that government contracts are the least desirable for a manufacturer and tbe reason la tl.at the technicalities which surround most of the contract are so great and that the action of some of the minor offi cials and employee of the government In enforcing these technicalities are ao annoy ing a to frequently deprive the contractor of every particle of profit. The most no ticeable difference between bid this year and those of previous openings is found in the time of delivery for contracts running Into thousands of dollars. Last year it waa possible to secure bids ranging from $0,000 to $10,000 for fixtures and supplies, with de liveries of sixty or ninety days, or at the farthest, four months. In nearly every In stance noted this year the concerns which are recognized a the beat and moat re liable will not agree to do such amount of government work under -six to eight months. Tbe Inference drawn by the department officials from this state of affairs la that manufacturing plants are running to their full capacity and that manufacturer do not care to Involve themselves In a ' lia bility for liquidated damagea by promising deliveries within a shorter period. In other words they have plenty of bualneas aalde from that secured from the government and Uncle Sam must wait hi turn Instead of being granted favors not extended to th commercial world. . I'nctfe Sam ' Supnllea th World. Uncle Bam Is ,now annually pouring money Into the lap of the rest of the world In other words, the flow Is no longer In the direction of the United States, from abroad. It la In the direction of the rest of the world, from the United States. The balance of trade on the face of things la still In favor of the United States; that is, the statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor ahow this country Is exporting more than It la importing. Fig ures recently given out by the Department of Commerce and Labor showed the excess of exports over tmporta waa $187,111,349. Thla, however, 1 an extremely small ex cess, the lowest In recent years. ' But the small balance of trade In our favor, as shown by the figures. Is much more than counterbalanced by the fact that large sums of money go out annually from America which are not Included In the term of exports. These sums go mainly to Europe. They consist of the following Money expended by American tourists trav ellng abroad, money sent abroad to pay Interest on American aecurltlea held there, money sent abroad by persons of foreign birth living in the United States who con tribute to relatives, and money paid to for' elgners for transportation. Estimates as to the totals of these Items vary widely. But It Is said from good authority that from $100,000,000 to $160,000,000 Is carried abroad and left there by Ameri can tourists; about as much more is sent abroad for interest, and perhapa $100,000,000 sent by those of foreign birth In thla country who give to relatives and friends abroad.

ROTH CONVENTIONS ON RECORD Aajamet county Option, but Both Sidestep Anr Aetlon on the Initiative' and Refer endum. GRAND ISLAND, July !4.-(SDeclal.) The county optionlsts of this county who attempted to prevent resolutions from being adopted in either one or the other of the two oounty conventions are decidedly dis pleaaed today, and perhapa especially1 so on the democratic side becauae of the de feat, likewise of the Initiative and refer endum endorsement offered by W H Thompson, . F. W. Ashton and William Gideon. The latter it a democratic candl- Vta for nomination; tor the legislature. He la an avowed county optionlst. The other two candidates are openly opposed to it. On the republican side there like wise came out an avowed county optionist, followed by two candidates openly opposed to county option. Both conventions de clared against cunty option and both con vention, sidestepped any recommendation, however mild or nonessential, of the Initia tive and referendum. "If you' had found th platform and proceedings of both con ventlona on the street this morning," said an "optionlst," you couldn't have told the difference between them and wouldn't have known which wi.i the democratic and which was the republican record. Aside from the fact that, in thla county, It Is generally re garded as absolutely .hopeless for either party to win on a county option platform there Is no apparent reason for the similar ity in action. In the democratic convention each of the three members of the resolu tion committee brought In a different re port. Mr. Thompson's opposed oounty op tion and favored no change In the Slocum law. . It recommended the Initiative and referendum In a general sense. 'Mr. Ash ton' opposed county option and recom mended no change In the Slocum law, stop ping there. Both Instructed the county delegation to the state convention to vote the sense of the resolution as a unit. Mr. Gideon's report dissented from this unit feature. There was the most Intense de bate, not free from personalities, Mr. Ash ton declaring that he would favor it In the state convention, but being unwilling for Mr. Eryan to dictate In tl.o cuuuiy convention. The Gideon report at no time had a look-in. After a struggle . lasting two hours a vote was taken and resulted 2ti for the initiative and referendum declar ation and 27 against. In the republican convention the resolu tions committee consisted of A. F. Buech- ler. Seth Wilson, H. E. Clifford, T. V. Blrri' and Dr. H. C. Miller. The committee brought In a unanimous report, concluding with a declaration against county option, an instruction to the delegates to vote against It as a unit and a pledge that the republican candidates for representatives, if elected, would vote against any county option bill aa at present proposed, with a declaration for a preference, as compared with county option, for the settlement of such questions by means of a limited In itiative and referendum law. So opposed were a. majority of the convention even to this, however, that this declaration was voted out of the resolution by a substantial majority. Howard Democrats 1 nlnstructed.

DIRIGIBLE STARTS FROM FORT Heroine Disabled on Trip to Aviation field and I Conveyed Puck t Balloon House .Will Fir Today. Uleen Curtiss further demonstrated his mastery of the air yesterday evening, afll along with him J. C. Mars did some flylmt which thrilled the crowdu. Tho second day of the aviation moet was considerably more successful than the first; more successful In point of flights made, of attendance and In the satisfaction afforded spectator. The two big features of the day were a five circle flight around the field by Curtiss, and a double flight In which Curtiss and Mars were in the air at th same time swinging around In great oon centrlo cltcies. While thla latter was a most spectacular affair, the big flight of Curtiss was the genuine thriller, in this he showed what ho really can do In the way of climbing Into the ambient and in his perfect control of hia aeroplane. This fight came Just at the right time. Small accident to hia machine and to Mars' craft also had delayed proceedings between S and 6. But during this time th wind died down and, although the humid ity was not great, conditions for flight had become excellent. Moreover, a patient crowd of S.OOO or 9,000 persons deserved to be rewarded with a good showing. It waa Just 5:55 when Curtiss got away his aeroplane, rising a few seconds after the preliminary skim along the ground. The small plane of the front control and the aallerons were promptly set at a sharp angle and the aeroplane mounted rapidly Into the air. As he flew west It could be seen by every one that he wa. ..ir,i good altitude, and the other aviator, de clared, "Hell ahow you inmothln. Cnrtla Turn Eaatly. Curtiss turned With ease anA e.m. k.-l. down the field. On hia aecond turn up he went atlll higher and way out far beyond the limits of the field. H aalled. In fact as far as he did the day before, rhen n waa forced to alight In the wheat field, but thl time he wa much hitfheT in the air. When ha haA . l . . . chine aeemed to grow smaller to the thous anda of watching eye, he turned back with a pretty dip and sailed over th grandstand. When he had turned here again he et th crowds wild by shutting off hi engine and letting the aeroplane shoot swiftly toward the earth. When he had descended thl way fifty feet or so, the propeller would again start up, the nose of the craft point skyward once more and th aeroplane would rise almost aa fast aa It had d- I scended. Another dtp like this In the same place waa mmt nn v. .,,i.i Z 1Z K . mttae on ,h completion of the fourth circle, and when he came ardund the fifth time he brought the aeroplane to earth so skilfully that it would not have cracked an eggshell. An already enthusi astic multitude was mora thart delighted with this last feat of skill. Comments waa also enthusiastic over" the quickness of the turns in midair. Curtls managed to change the direction of his course almost at right angle. Mar Makes Good Flight. A little later Mara mad hli rirst good flight. Ho did hot get high In the air com pared with Curtiss, who must ahve been up 4O0 or M0 feet part of the time, but Mara performed the. feat of circling th field twice when not more than 50 feel above the ground. He alsd made a pretty landing and won warm applause, the crowd recognis ing the fact that he waa sailing a lean ef ficient machine than Curtiss' and also ad miring his noticeable pluck. Just after this came the cry "the dirig ible Is on the way over!" All yea trained in tned iiecllou of Tort Om&ua, jM the bulky length of Lieutenant Haskell' craft could be seen Just above aome tree near Fort Omaha, a mil and one-half mv The balloon wa then seen to decend and wora came over the telephone that a nler. of machinery had broken. After this the last event of th day wa announced. Cy Ammends. th official an nunciator and herald extraordinary nn. claimed a race between CurtU and Mar "twice around the field." Curtiss was off first and he had -nn. one-half the circle before Mar left th ground. Mars flew tin th eouru an Curtis turned In short to catch up with him on the clj-cle round. Curtiss Tcept the higher altitude throughout the spectacle which was a superb sight and sent all spectators home enthusiastic. The two aviators then circled the course twlc niaaing circles or bigger radius In order not to fly away from tho lower powered aeroplane on the lower level. lily Has Hard I.uek. Eugene Ely met with hard luok durlraf the afternoon. He had a minor accident early In the afternoon and his car waa laid up for torn., time. Whin he cam out again, he made a persistent effort. Up the, field he flew and, although forced to land before flying high, did not stop, but ran along the ground for some dis tance and then rose again. But stilt he did not get high Into the air.
