WHAT HOTEL MEN SAY ABoUr THE ZOE TRUST

WHAT HOTEL MEN SAY ABOUT THE ZOE TRUST.
An interesting story went sklmmlng around ice
circles yesterday At high rate OF speed, until II ran
against the Consumers Ice Company, the Interested
company. Last Sunday The Tribune printed an
article which said that an Ice trust was being formed
here Since thon several stories have been circulated
about the nqIst Yesterday It WAS reported that tho
combination was having hard time In getting under
way The principal obstacle was said 10 Do the
Consumers Company which had firmly refused to enter
tho trust. But this obdurate organization was to be
brought 10 terms IL was declared That man in the
scheme had positive information that the syndicate
must do something desperate 10 force the Consumers
Ice Company into tho trust He and his associates
knew that the Fifth Avenue HOTEL the Hoffman
House and Demonlco's being favored by the
company to tho deriment Of the stockholders. Infor.
nation had also been obtained that more than one,
half of tho fee delivered 10 these places was not
charged for II this should be made public It would
deprecate tho company's stock and the trust could
buy IL for song.
As a matter OF fact tho Consumers Ice Company
Is controlled largely by hotel men, by whom Il was
organized They charge each other just what
they like for their Joint property and the dsinteresed
public will not grnmble provided there Is enough
oc.water at the hotels. Three OF the stockholders In
the company said Yesterday that they had heard nothing
about an attempt 10 force their corporation into the trust

that the lamps be kept burning az hisit says
I feel constrained TO take this course IN this as
wen as two other similar cases, and deem II proper
10 state 10 your Honorable Body, In reference 10 mo

teneat OF individuals IN effect confer public benefit or

that such a privilege should not be accorded 20 a
citizen who establishes lamp solely for his own adj

that special privileges ought not to be conferred ufon

held its sharp advance Of the previous day. and the

absence Of vigorous support from old time leaders,
the market deserves credit for showing fair degree
