DENVER WATER SUPPLY IS LOW; FOUR MAIN CONDUITS BROKEN BY FLOOD WATERS OF PLATTE DENVER, June 8. The Platte river in Denver tonight was stationary.

The stream, which has inundated a large district in the Globeville, Jerome Park and Valverde sections of the city, rose slowly all day but had reached its crest tonight and unless further heavy rains occur the danger of great losses here has passed. according to city officials. Tonight, the waters from the swolten river. were extending through the railroad yards and seeping into basements of manufacturing plants under the Colfax avenue viaduct, which connects North Denver with the main section of this city. High aboe Denver, at South Platte, 30 miles to the west, the Platte fell three tenths of a foot since eight o'clock this morning.

The north and south forks of the stream join there and flow toward this city. The big subject of speculation here tonight was the water supply. All citizens were urged to conserve water. following the breaking. of four of the seven conduits that carry water from the impounding reservoirs to this city.

Fear for the safety of the remaining conduits caused the dispatch of many guards to protect bridges over the Platte river on which the conduits rest. The reserve supply of water stored reservoirs tonight was 54,000,000 gallons. The three conduits now in use have a capacity. of 30,000,000 gallons a day, while the normal minimum consumption here, even when no irrigation of lawns is done, is 45,000,000 galions a day.

DANIEL GUGGENHEIM PREDICTS EARLY REVIVAL OF COPPER IN FOREIGN FIELDS AND AT HOME In an interview published recently in the New York Times, an optimistic view of the copper situation was taken by Daniel Guggenheim, president of the Chile Copper Company and Chile Exploration Company. The financial editor of The Times quotes Guggenheim as saying: "For the past two and a half years the copper industry, like most other industries, has been in a state of readjustment. In peace times the average Increase, from year to year, the world's demand for copper, averaged approximately 6 per cent. If this average annual increased consumption had gone on uninterrupted by the war, then in 1919 and 1920 the consumption of copper would have Martial Law Is Ordered In Pueblo (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) James G.

Bennett, of the resconnaissance staff. No estimate of the monetary loss was given, however. The report followed observation flights up and down the Arkansas and Fountain rivers. Captain Bennett said that bridges were either washed out or badly damaged for a distance of 30 miles up and an equal distance down the rivers. Airplane observations will continue until authorities are satisfied all danger of a recurrence of the flood is past.

Authorities aver that the fear of disease has been exaggerated. Although there are many dead animals lying in the flooded areas, these are being removed as rapidly as possible. Funerals of the identified dead are to start at once.

NO GENERAL REDUCTION WILL BE MADE IN FREIGHT RATES, DECISION OF RAIL OPERATORS CHICAGO, June 8. Notice that "under existing conditions no general reduction in freight rates can be justified or made affective" was sent to shippers today by E. Morris, chairman of the Central Freight Associaton. The announcement conference of railway officers in Washington last week with representatives of associations shippers interested in the transportation of construction and road building materials, who asked for a general reduction in freight rates on their commodities. The letter informed shippers that the chief traffic officers decided 110 general reduction in rates on any kind of freight could be made.

PATTERSON Optical Specialist At Bergquist Jewelry Co. Friday and Saturday been respectively 30 per cent and 42 per cent over the consumption of 1913. For the years 1919 and 1920 production averaged about 5 per cent in excess of 1913 production, an amount which in, all probability would have been taken up by consumption but for the war. In commenting on the possible demand for copper, Guggenheim siT that "the best estimates based upon conditions as they exist at the present time, but not including the large' increase in the demand for copper which should come from Germany and the rest of the world, are that the consumption of copper is about 675,000. tons per annum, and the mine production about 375,000 tons per annum.

At this ratio it will be seen readily that it will not take a long time to absorb the entire copper surplus, and thus put the industry again in splendid condition. It is estimated that production is now about 30 per cent of the world's normal consumption as based on pre-war statistics, plus the usual annual increase of the past. "The German plants manufacturing copper products are now re-established at full capacity, the demand for those products-is world-wide and the only way to satisfy that demand is to acquire the necessary copper. Germany, however, is only a single country. The whole world at the present time is under-constructed and underequipped with all materials and produets requiring the use of copper." Believe Death Of Pueblo Man Caused By Accidental Shot PUEBLO, June bullet that killed Ernest E.

Withers, member of the Pueblo water commission and president of the Iron City Fuel Company, Monday night, probably waS fired inadvertently from outside of his automobile. Assistant District Attorney L. E. Langdon said tonight at the conclusion of a session of the coroner's jury investigating the affair. The inquest was adjourned to Friday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

"The trend of opinion among those of tts who are inquiring into the affair is decided toward an accidental shooting-a stray bullet fired from a distance- -or a shot discharged at the ground nearby. "If there was murderous intent that intent was not directed against Mr. Withers. "We are not clear as to whether the bullet was fired by a guard or not. We do not wish to involve any organization unjustly, so we are proceeding carefully."
