Strigent antitrust bill introduced bv q

ice trust under this bill. Mr.. Croker and

most of the stockholders have invested
IN 1T simply as they would invest In any
other corporation. The striking poiaI Is
that among the heaviest of these invest
ors appear the Tammany Bryanite lead
ers, who in conjunction with Mr. Bryan,
are loudest in deneuncing trtlsts. Hy-
pocrlsy could be carried no further than
1t has been carried by these men and
their defenders. In the Tammany state
convention In New York they actually
denounced the ice trust in their poiiti-
cal capacity, while in their private oa-
paclty, they were stockholders in it.
and through their consel were doing
everything to prevent it's dissolution by
the attorney general. Mr. Bryan is now
going to New York tobe the nolifieai
guest of Mr.: Croker, the Ice trust bene
nciary. He is going there to try to helm
Croker to get control of the state of Nav
York and bring it down to the leyal Of
iinfamy to which Tammany government
has reduced the city of New York.
Again it came to me that this needs no
further comment than is implied in the
statement of the facts. With hearty
thanks for your kindness, I am. faith
fully yours, Theodore Roosevelt. .

HAVANA, Oct 14-Gov. Gen. Wood is

to numerous complaints of excessive
