GREAT FALLS ICE COMPANY.
RumOr That 1t May BE Purchased by
the 9KnickerbOcker of New York.

RumOr That 1t May BE Purchased by
the 9KnickerbOcker of New York.
There is an impression in financial circles
that negotiations for the purchase of the
Great Falls Ice Company have been re-
sumed and it is thought there is a strong
probability that a sale win be made this
time. The reason for this latter belief is
that there is a better understanding as to
the price to be paid. 1t is thought higher
price has been offered than was the case
some months ago. AS the price of the
stock on the local exchange is now $160
bid, it is assumed the offering made for
the stock is something more than this fig
ure, and is said to be $175. The purchaser.
or the probable purchaser, is commonly be-
lieved to be the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany of New York. This concern has been
interested In the ice business in this city
for some months past, having gained a
foothold here by the purchase of the Hy-
gienbc Ice Company. Subsequently other
smaller plants were secured and then the
stock Of the Independent Ice Company was
purchased. The only iarge ice company in
the city not now controlled by the Knicazer-
booker is the Great Falls, and II the rumor
IL true that the control Of that company
has BEEN secured then practically the ice
business Of the city will be in the hands Of
this corporation. The stock Of the Great
Falls il 1900 shares, the par value of the
shares being 500.

HONORED BY ITALY.
Return of u Washington Boy on an
Important Mission.

Important Mission.
In 1877 ]. P Spanier, Washington boy,
left this city to become a clerk for Consul
Gown at Leghorn, Italy. He liked the
country so well that he remained there and
has won honors such as have been be-
slowed upon few Americans abroad. he
was some years ago knighted by King
Humbert and is now Chevalier Spanier. still
an American, but having a warm spot in
his heart for his adopted country.
Chevalier Spanier arrived in Washington
last night, having come to this country on
a special mission for the kingdom of Italy.
He will be in the United States for three
months, and while in Washington will be
with his father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Max Cohen.
Mr.. Spanier has been commissioned to
inquire into the immigration from Italy to
the United States; to ascertain the pros
poets of Italy doing business with Cuba
and Porto Rico; to report on the prospect
of increasing Italy's trade with the United
States, and to tell the italian government
about our railway affairs and the progress
this country is making in that line. Those
who knew Mr.. Spanier are confident that
he will successfully carry out his mission
and will do much to increase the trade be-
tween the two countries.
To a Star reporter today Mr.. Spanier said
that the Italians are most corj<al to Amer
leans and that the friendiest feeling ex-
lists for this country. The wife OF Count
Glannottl the grand master OF ceremonies
to the king, is an American woman. SO Is
the wife of the mayor of Rome, as well as
many others in high society in Italy. The
queen speaks English and is always cordial
to Americans, showing them every atten-
ton in her power.
"A great deal of business Is done between
the United States and Italy," said Mr..
Spanier. During the last six months, for
instance, 1900 tons of coal were shipped
from the United States to Italy. This field
can be greatly developed, and there Is no
doubt that the United States will become
England's strongest competitor in business
in Italy"
AS an instance of the friendly feeling felt
for this country during the war with Spain,
Mr.. Spanier says that whenever the Ameri-
cans won decisive victories the Italian Of
| ficials were kind enough to send him the
| kilograms and keep him posted. Mr..
| Spanier flung an American flag from his
| place of business during the entire war. Mr..
! Spanier regards the honor conferred upon
| him as a chevalier as testimonial to his
country.
Mr. Spanier says that the commercial
| and personal relations Of the United States
and Italy are becoming SO close that there
are six strong steamship lines running YES
| sells between New York and Italy. These,
| he says, are among the best to be found,
| their accommodations for cargo and pas
\ sengers being unexcelled.

PROHIBITED By LAW.
District Unable to Accept Offer Made
by Mrs. Hearst.

The attention of the District Commission
ers was recently invited by Mr.. VIM. B..
Powell, superintendent of the District pub
lie schools, to a willingness on the part Of
Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst to pay the salary of
a director of kindergartens for the local
schools. Mr. Powell inquired whether such
services could be legally accepted. Today
the Commissioners informed him that the
law prohibits their acceptance. The Com
missioners state that the deficiency bill of
July Z, 1898, prohibits the Commissioners
from accepting volunteer service for the
government of the District and also pro-
hibits them from employing personal serv-
ices in excess of that authorized by law
except in cases of sudden emergency in
volving the loss of human life or property.
Therefore, the Commissioners are of the
opinion that the acceptance of the services
contemplated by Mrs. Hearsts generous
offer is prohibited.

HIS TRADE EXTENDS TO ALL POINTS.

Is there an Irishman or an Irish
American in Louisville who has ever
passed down Jefferson street between
Fourth and Fifth who has not noticed
daily coterie of the best Irish.
Americans in Louisville. Every day rain
or shine, hot weather or cold weather,
you will see them. Mr.. John McAteer,
Mr.. Joseph Nevin, Mr.. Barney Campbell,
Alderman Patterson, Mr.. Charles White,
Rev. Father Brady, Mr.. James Rogers
and host of others are constant visitors
at the Office of Mr.. Patrick Bannon. II
is there, 43l West Jefferson street, that
these men go to discuss the latest sensa-
ton in local, State or municipal politics.
1t is there they tell their own troubles
and talk about everything under the sur
from the Cars peace movement to the
possibility of Ireland's freedom from
England's misrlle.
Why do they go there? Because Mr..
Bannon keeps all open house for his
friends. He syinpathizes with them in
sorrow and rejoices when they rejoice.
He has mind of his own, which de.
spite his years, is as clear as crystal.
Mr.. Patrick Bannon was born at a
place called Killough in the County
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1899-05-20

Down, Ireland, on July y, 1924. AL
though he was born on Orangemen' S
day, he is a strict member of the Roman
Catholic church.
At an early age Mr.. Bannoi was put to
the plasterer's trade in his native county,
so that in 1S49, when he was twenty-five
years of age he was a finished plasterer.
There was nothing for him in Ireland
but a meagre- living, so he came to
America and at once set out for Cincin-
natl In six months time he was &C.
knowledged to be the best plasterer in
that city and at once went into business
OH his own hook.
At that time plasterers were as scarce
as hens teeth in Louisville. Mr.. Ban
mons fame had spread, however, and
when the time came to plaster the Cathe-
dral of the Assumption, in 1850, Mr..
Bannon was brought down here to do
the work. 1t was the best piece of work
in Louisville, and in 1852, when the
Baptists built their church at the corner
of Fourth and Walnut streets, Mr.. Ban
non was recalled from Cincinnati to do
the work. About that time he made up
his mind that il wonld be cheaper for
him to remain in Louisville than to be
kept chasing up and down the Ohio
river. He accordingly located here. He
made money from the start and he
saved it.
In 1868 he began the manufacture OF
terra Gotta work. The business pros.
pered from the start. II was the first
manufacture of the kind in the west oil
south. In 1868 he undertook the man
ufacture Of sewer pipe. His plant wa:
located on the the lot between Thir'
teenth and Fourteenth and between Maple
and Broadway. 1t made money for hin
from the jump. From the beginning
until the preseut time it was and is the
largest mandatory of the kind in tn,
south and one of the largest in the world
From year to year Mr.. Bannan enlarged
his plant and improved his works unit
at the present time he has $i75. 900 in
vested in the works
Less than ten years ago he began thu

IRISH UNITY.
John Dillon Says This Will Be
the Result of the Recent
Elections.

In an interview in London on the
sweeping Nationalist victory in ireland,
John Dillon gives the following as the
final result:
'The Irish local government elections
were fought on strictly political lines,
nationality against unionism, with the
result that in the three southern prov
inces the Unionists have been practically
obliterated, and in Ulster the Nationalist
have substantial majority of twenty
eight out of thirty three. The City Coun-
ellis are entirely in the lands of the
Nationalist, and will be used as weapons
to forward the national cause.
SIN response to appeals from Mr..
Davitt, William O'Brien and myself, the
Nationalist in the elections sank all
differences among themselves and united
against the Unionists, and whatever NAV
he the course adopted by the Irish menu
beers of Parliament. | have no doubt a
united Irish national party will result
within the next few months.
"Mr. Balfour had been led to hope that
the Irish people would accept the local
government act as substitute for home
rule, and that the elections would be run
on non-political lines. The result, how
ever, has disappointed all of the govern.
ment's calculations. It has undoubtedly
produced profound effect on public
opinion in England.
"But what attach the most importance
to is that the united action Of the Nation,
alists throughout Ireland at the Local
elections has made the reconstruction OF
the united party in Ireland possible, and
with the assistance Of our people in the
United States the home rule movement,
win be irresistible
