BACK TO $500 ONCE MORE.
Wholesale Price of Ice in Topeka is
Reduced.

The ice trust has made a concession
to the retailers here. in that it has re-
duced- the wholesale price of ice from
five dollars per ton to four dollars per
ton. This will not. however, affect the
retail price of ice to the consumer.
This order was made effective today.
It was glad news for the retailers, who
have been forced during the past few
weeks to do business at a loss, but
they are very few now.
The action of the octopus in offering
the few little retailers who have routes
all the way out to the suburbs of the
city, another lease of life, is inexplic-
able, except for the explanation of Mr.
W. byIe Dickey, who was interviewed
by a State Journal reporter this N orn-
ing, who said that the price of ice was
apt to fuctuate the same as the price
of eggs
State Journal reporter stepped up
to the window in a little anteroOm
allotted to the patrons of the company
who go TO the Office on Second avenue
to transact their business, and spoke to
the great ice magnate in a trembling
voice.
What is the reason you have reduced
the wholesale price of ice?" he ven
tured.
The genial manager of the ice COM
pany turned in his swivel chair,
crossed his legs. looked up through his
half-closed eyes. and frowned. "Oh!
it's you, is it?'
The reporter meekIy admitted that
it was.
well, that is a, private matter. The
wholesale price of ice does not concern
the public any more than the price of
any other commodity. Only three deal
ers are concerned, and therefore / fail
to see that the reduction in the price
of the ice to these dealers is of i'm
portance.'
Mr.. Dickey said that ice was more
plentiful now, and that he had as many
as 900 cakes stored away for an en- erg-
ency. There might come a hot spell
for a couple of weeks, and we would
need it," he explained.
The following rules were hung up
for the guidance of the drivers of the
ice wagons:
Drivers will be held responsible for
all cash ice.
Helpers will not be permitted to sell
any cash ice whatever.
Drivers will see that this rule is en-
forced -

City Attorney Spencer Dismisses
Cases in District Court.
Says 1t is Done on Account of
Anti-SpOtter Ruling.
Convictions on Spotter Testi-
mony in Police Court.

City Attorney Charles F. Spencer has
dismissed 81 cases which were pending
in the district court against joint keep
ers. on the ground that the cases could
not be successfully prosecuted under
Judge Hazen's "anti-spotter' ruling.
In spite of this fact. spotter testi-
mony is being used continually in the
police court The question is what will
become of the cases after they are ta-
ken to the district court? Will they be
dismissed as the 81 cases already have
been?
city Attorney Spencer is at present
in Colorado, but his deputy S. S. Urny,
who takes care of all the liquor cases.
said today;
THE spotter testimony which we are
using now in our liquor prosecutions is
not employed by the city. It is all fur
nished for us by the Law Enforcement
league. Judge Hazen's decision touch
ed only upon spOtter testimony which
was employed at the expense of the
city, thus making the city induce a
man to commit crime, and at the same
time derive a. benefit from his having
committed the crime We believe that
will be held good by the courts. People
have a wrong impression of what Judge
Hazen's decision means. 1t does
not bar out spOtter testimony in gen.
eral but simply bars out the testimony
of men employed by the city itself TO
get evidence.
..Brenard, the spotter who frequently
testifies in liquor cases, is employed by
the city, continued Mr. Urmy, but
since that decision of Hazen's, Brenard
has not testified in regard to sales He
simply testified about the location of
joints, the general regulations of the
place, and so forth. p"

cases were dismissed by City Attorney

CUT OPEN mail POUCH.
Government Wants the Man
Who Rifled a Sack Here.

The government authorities are looking
for an unknown man who cut open a mail
pouch at the Santa Fe depot here last
Saturday night the fact of which was
suppressed
The railway postal clerk on the local
between Atchison and Topeka made up
the mail pouch to be transferred to No. II
westbound at midnight Saturday night
as usual and turned it over to William
Butler, the night depot master. The pouch
was placed on truck usual with other
pouches for that train and left standing
as usual near the baggage room door
The discovery was made when the
pouch was placed on the WestbOund train.
Tt was undoubtedly done for the purpose
of robbery, but what the man got is not
known. There is no record of any regis
tered mail being in the pouch and no
complaints of valuable mail being lost
have been received
A suspicious character was seen hang
ing about the depot. but no particular at
tention was given him at the time. 1t is
believed he is the guilty party and siren
nous efforts are being made TO locate him.
