CHICAGO MAN IS FINED FOR SPEEDING

The trial of William Kolb. 27th street and Grand boulevard, Chicago, was heard before Judge Barnett in the city court this morning. Kolb was arrested by Captain Hanion Sunday afternoon for violating the speed ordinance on Indiana boulevard and was driving thirty miles an hour 'when arrested.! Kolb was unable to be present at the trial this morning, and Dave Emery acted for the defendant, pleading guilty and received a fine of $3 and costs, amounting to $15, which was paid out of the 25 appearance bond that Kolb supplied Sunday. Since the last two weeks eleven different persons have been arrested by Captain Hanlon for speeding on Indiana boulevard, one arrest being made on Saturday night and ten on Sundays. It seems that during the week the peed is cut down, but on Sunday the Chicago parties all hit the high spots and do not care for the law.

Clarence Jewett, superintendent of the water department, hopes that the city will te able to install meters in every dwelling next year. ,

WATER HOGS ANNOY THE CITY OFFICIALS

Much of the complaint about the low water pressure in the city can be traced directly to the "water hogs" who are permitting their lawn hose to run day and night, contrary to the city ordinance. The ordinance regulating sprinkling says that lawns may be sprinkled from 5 o'clock in the morning until 8, and from 5 o'clock in the evening until 9 o'clock.

Anyone passing down a quiet street at any hour of the night can hear the running water, and should the police start out to make arrests they could

find violators by the score.

A. number of arrests would have a salutary effect, no doubt, but the most

effective remedy would be to put a watr iMtr inU every house, and charge

ICE TRUST IS THERE WITH THE GOUGE (Continued from Page 1.) no quorum. Plans were discussed and some action was taken, however, to procure a higher grade of carbonic acid which is necessary in the manufacture of ice. The fault for the under-supply is thought to lie there and experiments will be made along this line. The management of the Hammond Pure Ice company den If s the existence of any agreement with the Knickerbocker people, according to which one company will not supply the other's

customers in case they become dissatisfied. It points to the fact that it Is unable to supply Its own. From Indianapolis comes the report that the Knickerbocker Ice company,

which controls many Ice houses in northern Indiana, is buying up all available ice in northern Indiana. A famine threatens the state capital, and one enterprising business man, realizing this, hurried to Laporte to buy up ice from an independent concern there. He found that the Knickerbocker people had beat him to it and found this to be the case in other places. Qentlemaa'a Afcreenirat Exlntn. The uniformity of prices adopted almost simultaneously by the Knickerbocker -company and the Hammond Pure Ice company is evidence of a gentleman's agreement on prices, if not on supplying customers. The Hammond Pure Ice company is not in a position to show what it would do on that core. Private parties have made the charge that the Knickerbocker company has refused to deliver ice after it had been Informed that the customer was a former buyer of the Knickerbocker, and thatunlU recently he bad

been buying of the Hammond Pure Ice company. The ice trust has the city at its mercy. Last winter it laid in a supply large enough for two years in case there should be an open winter next year, and now that the city Is, sweltertnsr in & hot wava it has the neonl eat

Wire Thieves Busy. Wire thieves made a good haul again Tuesday night when they stripped the poles of the Chicago Telephone, Co.'s line on West Burnham avenue Monday night. The work was done during the late hours of the night and the thieves were able to get in about six hours. In all they stripped about a mile of posts, taking 4.000 feet of copper wire and 800 feet of galvanised iron wire, making In all close to 5,000 feet. Work was not done by professional wire thieves, as the Chicago Telephone company thinks they would not have bothered with stripping the iron wire and would have kept ahead with copper wlro. The wire was taken In the same vicinity when the poles were stripped of a like amount two years ago. The Chicago Telephone company has not been able to find out any trace of the wire so far and has no trace of the thieves.

Mead does not know just how much money was in the meter and is trying to locate the guilty party. Of late three or four gas meters have been robbed in Hammond, and one of the guilty parties were caught and severely punished.

Neighbors Complain. Frank Fryor was arrested on Michigan avenue by Officer Law last night for disorderly conduct, where he was

causing considerable disturbance at his home. The neighbors complained and an officer was called placing him under arrest and locking him up at the station over night. A number of times before the police have been called to come and quiet Fryor, who would come home drunta and mistreat his wife and then would start to break things up in the house. Fryor was given a heart-to-heart talk this morning and was released after promising he would not drink any more and would behave himself.
