CAN'T SUPPLY ICE
DURING PRESENT SUMMER.
Failure TO Get Lease VIII Prevent
MIR. Aimar Supplying Trade.

The ice factory which w. w. Aimar
contemplated building for the purpose
of supplying the people of Savannah
with ice at cents per hundred pounds
will not be erected in time to supply
the trade this summer.
The work will not begin on the fac
tory until the latter part of July, or
the early part of August. The delay
has been caused by the failure to Sc
cure a lease on a certain building
which Mr.. Aimar intended turning into
an ice factory. He has not, however
abandoned the idea of erecting the
factory and will have it in full opera
ton, and ready to supply the trade,
during the season of 1905, he says.

False Pretenses Charged.

Mrs. Mary Baker, who conducts an en-
ployment agency at 403 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., was arrested this morning by Detec-
tives Hartigan and Baur and taken to po-
ice headquarters to answer a charge of
false pretenses. The arrest was made on
complaint of Mrs. Carrie Carlisle of 493
c street southwest. She alleges that she
paid Mrs. Baker a fee because, she claims,
she was assured of a position as pantry
maid at hotel of Mr.. Sweeney with a
salary of S25 month. Feeling assured she
would get the position, she borrowed $40
and went to the seashore resort. She was
disappointed when told by the hotel pro-
prietor that he had no situation for her.
The woman failed to get a position in At
lantic City and was forced to borrow money
to pay her fare home. 1t is alleged that
Mrs. Baker sent Mrs. Price to the seashore
because she read an advertisement in a
New Jersey paper that help was wanted at
the particular hotel. Judge kimball will
probably hear the case tomorrow.
