TELLS WHY ICE TRUST IS BETTER THAN COMPETITION Claimed That Neither of the Local Companies Made Money While Rates Were Being Slaughtered in Past.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF AN EMPLOYES' COMPANY. This Idea Is Scouted by Ice "Magnate" Natural Ice Crops Have Been Short for Several Seasons. "It was a case of necessity. Cutthroat methods that had been resorted to had mined the business. There was no use carrying them on any lunger and all of us came to realize this. Such competition was bringing ruin to both plants rapidly and in the season of last year about $s,000 was lost by the two concerns. We had to et together and proceed upon the policy of live and let live and better live together." In this manner one of the local ice dealers explained the formation of the local "trust", thai will control the ice trade, in this city during the approaching season and so long 1 hereafter as the Independent and Union companies are the only competltors. No Independent Company. In most vehement terms, branding it as absurd, ridiculous and senseless, the dealer stated the report that employes of the two companies intend to organize! an independent co-operative company is the result of imagination. ""Why. who is there that could do that?" he asked. "Do you suppose if any employes had enough capital to establish an ice plant they would be working for somebody else? It takes about $-10,000 right on the start to put up an ice plant and start into the business. In the face of fcuch competition as the two other plants could provide, it would be the height of folly to contemplate such a thing, as a third company formed among employes. Why it really seems laughable to me." Nothing in Competition. The speaker argued there is nothing to be gained by fierce competition of the kind that has been in force in this city for a few years past. It was Mild the plants have been losing money regularly and it was agreed to consolidate for operating purposes solely as a business move and not with the intention of forming a trust and boosting prices. It was claimed the price at which ice has been sold In Richmond was fafr below the average in. other cities of the vicinity The Union and Independent companies have reorganized along lines that are even closer drawn than those which bound the three companies, which formerly were combined under the term "Ice Delivery Company." One of the three companies has been bought out. by the Independent company and there are now but two in the local field. It has been agreed that possession of the delivery stock shall be mutual. The prices shall be one Ktid the same. Owing to the distance between the plants, it will bo necessary to maintain two bams. The manufactured product, is to be pooled. One of the new departures will be the establishment of a down town office. It will be located in the Hoover building on South Ninth street. An office force will be retained and till business attended to from this headquarters. Natural Ice Short. There was less than a half crop of natural ice last winter and the manufactured product will b depended upon to meet the trade of the private consumer. Short crops have been regular for three years and last season the Union company was compelled to ship large quantities of ice to the city in order to meet the demand. BARNARD VIOLATES ALL POLITICAL ETIQUETTE BY ACT (Continued From Page One) seen that he has no chance for the honor they will then go over to the stmnccst candidate, unless that, candidate happens to be Barnard. They wiii oppose him to the bitter end. The Barnard candidates also state that they will support Mr. Campbeii while he lias a show for the nomination, but if lie fails to make a showing they - ill go over to Barnard. Are Now Jubilant. The Campbell supporters and antifiarnaxd men are very jubilant over the growing opposition to Judge Barnard's candidacy. A great deal of indignation is expressed ou all sides today over Judge Barnard's appearance la Richmond today. It is freely predicted that Judge Barnard's presence will tend more than anything else to assist in the defeat of his various candidates for ward delegates and will intensify the growing feeling of antagonism against his candidacy in Richmond and Wayne county.

PRETTY CHURCHES NOW NEAR COMPLETION

Work Progressing on St. John's And Trinity Edifices. The work on the new St. John's Lutheran church, South Seventh and E streets, is rapidly progressing and it is probable that the building will be read- for use early in the summer. The art glass will be furnished by a Columbus, O., firm. In a few days the work of plastering the building will start. The work on the new Trinity Lutheran chun-h is also rapidly rearing completion. All the plastering work has been finished and the frescoing will sixrn start. The Sunday school room has about been completed. It. la expected that the formal opening of this remodeled church will be about the first of June. GUARD FOR INSANE Hoped That One May Be Stationed at the Home for Friendless Women. COMMISSIONERS TO ACT. WILL FORWARD APPEAL TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL FOR A SALARY APPROPRIATION FOR SUCH A GUARDIAN. Ill response to constant. y recurring requests and in answer to the call of humanity, the county commissioners will petition the county council for an appropriation to pay for a woman guard for the insane at the Home for the Friendless Women. The county provides no accommodation for female prisoners at the county jail, nor for women of unsound mind, who must await, admittance to the state hospital. The only place where such unfortunates may be cared for is at the women's home. This is not a county institution .however, although the law demands that insane prisoners awaiting admittance to the hospital must be under the custody of the sheriff of the county. The commissioners will ask that the coifnty council appropriate a fund sufficient to pay the guardian SI per day and also to defray the cost of her board at the home. It is stipulated tuat the management of the home ' shall, in consideration of the county ; placing the guard there, provide her i with lodging and other sufficient ac- i commodations, such as may be neces sary.

L IN LEASE CASE Old Employer's Lawyers Secured to Defend Men in Coming Trial. THREE IMPORTANT CASES. STERLING BOLIN AND AMBROSE PETRY WILL ALSO BE GIVEN A HEARING IN WAYNE CIRCUIT COURT IN NEXT TWO WEEKS. Three criminal cases hav been set for trial in the Wayne circuit 'court that are of more than ordinary Interest. The case of the State vs. S. M. Lease has been set for trial tomorrow, that of the State vs. Ambrose Petry for Friday and that of the State vs. Sterling Bolin for Thursday of next week. Lease is accused of the theft, of about $400 from John 1. Wills, his employer at Cambridge City. After securing the money, Lease tied west and was captured at St. Ixnris upon information furnished the police of that city by Supt. Bailey. As an unusual phase in connection with the case, Least; will be defended by the same attorneys who represent his former employer. Wills, in the latter's divorce litigation now pending in the Henry circuit, court. There is some probability Petry will not be prosecuted. The soundness of the man's mentality is nuestioned. It has been represented to the prosecutor there is strong evidence to prove that Petry shows symptoms of a weak mind at infrequent intervals. The man is charged with grand larceny and forgery. Sterling Bolin -is the negro, who assaulted and so brutally cut Arch Hindman, the well known ' Hagerstown hotel proprietor and auctioneer. Hindman has almost entirely recovered from his injuries. Bo! in will be charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. The mob that arose and threatened to lynch Bolin following his assault upon Hindman, marks an epoch in the history of Hagerstown. NATIVE ESKIMO CLOTHES." Light In Weight, Soft In Texture and Absolutely Cold Proof. When winter set in and Eskimos betran to visit the ship, it soon became apparent that they were much better clothed to meet the cold than were the white explorers, though the latter had everything that money could command in the way of "an approved arctic outfit." The Finnish boots, or "Finnskor," used by Nanseu and other arctic explorers, were excelled both in lightness and warmth by the native boots. A single fur coat of deerskin made in Norway weighed as much as an entire Eskimo suit of outer and inner garments, with boots and mittens included, and was stiff as wet sailcloth, white ihe native garments were soft as a kid glove. A well made Eskimo 6tilt socks and boots, underwear, trousers and coat with hood weighs ten or eleven pounds, about as much as your spring suit, and in it you could Bit comfortably on a block of snow, with your back to the wind, fishing through a hole in the ice, with a temperature of 50 degrees F., as the writer has repeatedly done, feeling cold nowhere but on the face, the only part of the body that must bo left uncovered. We found a deerskin shirt with the hair turned in warmer, lighter and more comfortable than woolen, and a cap unnecessary when the hooded coat is worn. There was not an item of the arctic clothing that was not advantageously replaced by garments bought from the Eskimos. Xo one wore garments of European make if he was able to get his hands on the Eskimo equivalent. V. Stefansson in Harper's Magazine. SPEAKING PLAINLY. The Judge's Request and the Counsel's Prompt Response. A young and afterward distinguished attorney from an up country district of New York state was arguing his first appeal in the old general term of the supreme court. He had been in many legal scrimmages in justices courts at home, but had never stood in the awesome presence of five sedate and learned judges of the supreme court in general term assembled. His embarrassment was great. He repeated himself and misplaced his words so often that it was quite evident that he must soon be routed by his own confusion unless something should occur to break the speli. Finally, and just as he was floundering the deepest in a chaotic jumble of language and ideas, the presiding judge interrupted with the following remark: "Mr. Sruithers. I believe it will be a groat relief to yourself and to the court if you wiil address us in the same free and informal way that you doubtles? use ia addressing your local justice of the peace." "Well, then." replied Smithers. "I wish that while I am busy alleviating your honor's dense Ignorance of the law you would keep your confounded mouth shut:' The court laughed heartily and waved for him to proceed, lie grew eloquent and won his case iu the midst of hearty applause.

HITCHCOCK FREED BY' NEWYORK JUM Complete Exoneration From Hideous Charges.

New York, March 1G. Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, indicted on six charges of felony, following the appearance of three little girls before the grand jury, was acquitted by a jury on the order of Judge Blanchard here today. Flora Whiston broke down and said she had perjured herself before the grand jury. The verdict exonerates the defendant. Water pipes of terra cotta were used in Crete forty centuries ago. Those supplying drinking water consisted of a series of subcorneal tubes socketed into each other with collars and "stop ridges" so constructed as to give tho water a shooting motion, thus preventing accumulation of sediment. LUCK AND CHANCE ALIENS TO LIFE It Is Real Facts Which Prevail Over the Land, Says Graham. ADDRESSES THE STUDENTS. MINISTER TELLS THEM TO ASPIRE HIGH AND BEYOND THINGS THAT ARE OF THE COMMON UNIVERSE. The Rev. T. J. Graham of the First Presbyterian church gave a very interesting talk to the students of the high school at the chapel exercises this morning. The talk by Mr. Graham dealt with chance and fate and the destiny of life. In part Rev. Graham said: "The swastika, the emblem that is stamped on the preshistoric ages and of older times thought to be an omen of good luck and good will. It dates far back iuto the ancient times and it cannot be traced to the originators. It is common in the old world and with the Indians of America, before the time of the white man. "Not until recently have the ladies of the country adopted this as an ornament. As for their reason is not known unless for its beauty and by wearing it it brings good luck. "Students the lesson in the Swastika is the chance in life. You think that you will get along and just drift with the tide and manage to get along some how. You need to guard against your dreams and your imagination. Have little to do with fate and chance. It is the real facts that prevail over the land and not dreams and fate. "Say that you will make something of your self and form your habits to be pure, true, and be in the light and not have to walk in the shadow but. walk in the sunshine. Trust in God is the factor of most importance to you students. Aspire higher and be beyond things that are of the common universe. ROBINSON PREPARED EOR SPECIAL FIN-DING All Matter Necessary in Clifford Case Furnished. Judge Robinson of the Spencer circuit court has been furnished with all matter necessary to prepare a special I finding in the case of Freemonth Clif-1 ; ford vs. the City of Richmond. If ' Judge Robinson agrees with the re-' quests of Mr. Study and decides as the city attorney has represented the case. I everything will be satisfactory according to the statement made by Mr. Stu- ! dy this morning. ARGUMENT FOR PERMANENTINJUNCTION Traction Line Case in Federal Court. Argument in the case of the Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company vs. the City of Richmond, will be heard in the federal court at Indianapolis, Wednesday. The city will be represented by T. J. Study, city attorney, Gavin and Gavin, Indianapolis attorneys, and Wilfred Jessup, associate counsel. The interurban company seeks to make permanent a temporary injunction issued against the city to countermand the effect of the city ordinance which forbids the operation of interurban cars on Main street east of Fifth street. Not Appius Claudius. A New Yorker, recently returned from England, where he saw much of the tinsel and tiu armor pageantry by which various anniversaries have been celebrated at Oxford and elsewhere, tells this: A.
