WUT TO DISSOLVE WORST SCANDAL

ALLEGED THAT WHEN TRUST WAS CLAIMING A SHORTAGE OF ICE IT WAS REFUSING TO BUY OF INDEPENDENTS.

Publishers Fress.J Sew York. Dec. 20. Charging the American Ice Company, "that it has a monopoly of the natural and artificial ice output, especially in Greater New .York; "That It secured control o the Maine Ice fields and cut the harvest last year from 1,500,000 to 500,000 tons; "That it similarly controls the other sources of supply; "That by means of its control of t'je landing places in this city it increased the price per ton at the wharves from $1.20 to $3 and $6; "That liy these means the price of ice to the poor man was from $10 to $14 a ton; "That when the trust was advertising a shortage of Ice, it was refusing supplies from Independent producers; "That it contracted with other companies to prevent their entering the field of competition; "That of total assets of $46,323.1SS, $33,260,606 represents no tangible asset ; , "That on December 1, 1906, It paid a 9 per cent divldent; "That tho trust in July, 1906, sold ice at an average price of $4.78 per ton that cost only $1.94 and earned 7t per cent," Attorney General Julius Mayer, in the name of the people of the stkts, today began an action in the supreme court for tho dissolution of tho Ice trust. , Besides reciting the , above charges, the complaint sets forth correspondence to prove tho alfegatioii that while

the company was issuint ice famine

warnings it was refusingAo buy ic3 at

any prices.

The attorney generaldeclares that the company owns alljbut 17" ot the

141 ice houses on the ifidson, but that the key to the situation lies in the trust's control of the pee bridges" or

landing places, in thlff city, by means of which it is able f fix the price

of ice.

YET MADE KII0WII

Commissioner of Buildings at

Chicago Will Show Grafters Among Aldermen.

MAY FORCE RESIGNATION

NAMES OF THE OFFICIALS AF

FECTED ARE NOT MADE

KNOWN THE MUNICIPAL

COURT LEASE INVESTIGATED.

'Publishers' Press. J

Chicago, Dec. 20. Scandal In the granting of the municipal court lease eclipsing anything that, has gone before it was promised by Building

Commissioner Bartzen today in the Investigation of his charge that there

are "grafters among the aldermen."

The subject was so voluminous that it was hardly touched on and

Bartzen himself admits that he does

ent know all the particulars of the

transaction but expects to bring

them out by cross-examination of witnesses.

The municipal court lease was passed by the council over Mayor

Dunne's protest, the city agreeing to

pay $38,000 rental annually to Jacob

Kesner for five years. Bartzen says this would pay for the building and

site in one year more.

"I never believed the site suitable says Mayor Dunne, "but I don't want to criticise the alderman. I think

we differed honestly."

"The charge is absurd and without the slightest foundation," said Jacob

Kesner.

The names of the alderman attack

ed by Bartzen are still suppressed by the Investigating committee on the ground that mere suspicion may injure the reputations of honest men

if premature publicity is given.

Several alderman who are said to

be sure their names will be drawn

into the case are said to be preparing for damage suits against Bartzen.

The council generally is so furious that there is talk of an attempt to force the Commissioner to resign. "I don't care if I quit tomorrow," said the Commissioner, whose chance remark concerning "graft" started the whole inqui., "I'll push this Investigation to the end." '

METCALF IS CRITICISED

Member of School Board Says tnst Agent of the President ' Misrepresented the State of Affairs Therj Issues Statement.

Publishers Press.l San Francisco, Dec. 20. According to an interview given to the press ty E. C. Leffingwell, secretary of tr board ot rfcation, Secretary Mete: made some erroneous statements a his report on the Japanese question. Mr. Leffingwell said in part; "The report made y Secretary Metcalf as exploited before congress contains many assertions and inferences which are surprising, to say the least, since they are in error and are therefore unfair, as they are applied to the members of the board of education. When Secretary Metcalf reached this city and the object of his visit was made known, the board of education did all in its power to eruip him with the facts surrounding the new order made in regard to the schooling of Japanese pupils. Wher Secretary Metcalf asserts that the Japanese and Korean exclusion league directed the board of education to enter the ruling concerning the Japanese pupils, he uttered that which we ? ay is error. The members of the board of education were specially careful to explain the origin of the matter to Secretary Metcalf. The board acted oivits own initiative and merely proceeded to enforce a state law."

FORMER'S QUIZ A POINTED OIIE He Disagrees with President

Roosevelt on the Discharge of Soldiers

POWER WAS OVERSTEPPED OHIO SENATOR THINKS 'THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE GOT BEYOND THE CONSTITUTIONAL

LIMIT LODGE REPLIES.

rrublishers Press.l Washington, Dec. 20. Immediately after .the senate conveted Thursday Senator Foraker's resolution looking to an investigation by the senate of the president's discharge of three negro companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry was taken up, and Senator Foraker addressed the senate In its sup port, lie began with the broad declaration that the ' president misconceived his constitutional power when he discharged the troops, and be also misconceived the testimony on which his action was based." Senator Foraker said the president's constitutional power is simply te command the army and navy as commander-in-chief, while to congress the constitution gave power to raise armies and to make rules- and regulations for their government. The regulations prescribe that no man may be summarily discharged without a right to be tried and the articles of war, he argued, prescribe minutely how these trials are to be conducted; that all punishments should be in accordance with the directions of courtsmarttal. He contended, after reading at length from the articles of war, it Is Inconceivable that the president should be absolutely without restraint. The president stated in his message that these soldiers were guilty rf mutiny and were discharged for that reasoa. He followed this with the article of ttix providing that a courtmartial should direct this punishment. This was all to guard against the exercise of an autocratic power. Congress, to pro

vide against excessive punishment.

had limited the penalties.

When Senator Foraker concluded

his remarks on his resolution he received unanimous consent to modify the resolution so that it now directs the senate committee on military af

fairs to investigate the circumstances

leading up to the discharge of the negro troops.

Senator Lodge briefly replied- to

Foraker's speech and Senator Scott

rema.ked that as he read the history

of .the Spanish-American war the Tenth cavalry (colored) was largely responsible for the preservation ef the Rough Riders, and said: "If it

had not been for the Tenth cavalry, we might not today have the privilege of having that gallant soldier, that

splendid pre; ident today in the White

House," le added.

Tha Fora-r resolution goes over

without ction until after the holiday recess.

C airman Fowler of the house com-

mittea on banking and currency, subm.tt'd to the house his report on the credit currency bill agreed upon by the committee. The report reiterates the committee's assertions that bankbook creOs ar? ientioal with bank note credits, and t a It should be at the option of a dept!ior of a bank to say whether he shn have current credit of the tank or a book subject

to his checx.

Both house and senate adjourned

until Jse. 2 tor the holiday recess.

MESSAGE IS DENOUNCED

BOSTON ll EG ROE'S VIEWS

They Resent the Manner In Which

President Roosevelt Presented the Brownsville Matter to Congress in

Recent Message. f . ' tTublishers Fress.J Boston, si. Ac a meeting of the Suffrage league of Boston and vi

cinity (colored) resolutions were adopted in relation to the message of

President Roosevelt on the Browns

ville affair. The resolutions In part are as follows: "We denounce the

language of the president in his offi

cial answer to the Foraker resolutions as the most extraordinary language

used by a president of a Christian re

public. One who is familiar with the tyrants of the past would think it was

the language of Nero or the Duke of

Alva. In his message inciting race hatred and mob violence against 10,000,000 innocent citizens he has shown himself to be a mere politician and not

great statesman. In accusing . all

colored persons who object to his unlawful and summary punishment ef 170 colored soldiers, without trial or courtmartial or examination by a military court of inquiry, of a desire to shield murderers, the president mis

represents 10,000,000 of as law abiding and patriotic native born American citizens as the country possesses.
