Good Thunder.

0OOo tVuHueF.
From Saturdays Daily.
Charles Rodgers, the Rapidan miller,
was in town Friday in the interest of
the proposed Touring mill. In an in
terview with that gentleman, he informs
us that the water power of the Rapidan
mills is almost unlimited and proposes
that an electric cable be extended to
this place, to convey $50 horse power,
which will be suffieiency to operate a
l5O barrel capacity mill and to equip
the village with electric lights. Mr..
Rodgers estimates the cost of building
this line, the mill, a $4,000 barrel steel
grain tank and equipping with improved
machinery at $4,000, which amount in
cludes the milling property at Rapidan,
estimated as being worth $4,000 The
plan outlined is to form stock com
pany, farmers and business men to sub
scribe the necessary amount required

new KIND OF ICE CREAM.
Il Remains Intact in Satchel Al Of
the Night.

From Saturday Daily.
The state dairy and food department
has a sample of ice cream which tastes
delicious, melts i'm the mouth almost as
easily as butter, looks enticing, and re
tains all its splendid qualities just as
well i'm a leather satchel as in refrig
orator. 1t is the kind of product that
the housewife can buy week before
she gives an ice cream party.
j. G. Fowler, food Inspector, purchas-
ed the sample in a popular ice cream
parlor in Minneapolis. The department
officials received word from a Mill City
physician that ice cream was being sold
i'm that city which was not what it
seemed to be. Equipped with a satchel
Mr.. Fowler visited the suspected estab-
lishment and asked for brick of the
choicest ice cream The cream was
carefully packed in a pasteboard box
and Mr.. Fowler placed it in his satchel
and hurried away. The ST. Paul Pho
neer Press says that the purchase was
made about 80 in the afternoon on a
day when the temperature was as
high as it has been this summer. In
order to give the sample fair test,
Mr.. Fowler fastened to St. Paul. He
found the state laboratory closed, and
went to hotel, where he forgot all
about the ice cream until nine o'clock
next morning With the expectation of
finding it all melted he hastily opened
the satchel, and discovered that the ice
cream was as rigid in form and as en-
ticlDg i'll appearance as when he bought
it, Mr.. Fowler took the sample to the
department laboratory. 1t was found
to be composed of gelatine, starch and
custard.
The department officials have the case
under consideration, but no decision has
vet been made as to what action will be
taken. 1t is believed that the depart
ment can bring action under the general
food laws. There is no standard ice
cream, which makes it difficult to do
anything about the case None of the in
gradients is HARMFUL but it is estimated
that the cost of the materials used i'm
the manufacture of the product is about
one eighth that of cream.

Hartman Wanted to
Rule Equitable
Ryan Describes How He
Threatened
Witness Declares Railroad Man Said
He Would Use Influence Against
Him Unless Given
the Stock
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Thomas II.
Ryan today appeared before the in
surance investigating committee and
told what Il. II. Hartman did and
threatened to do when he demanded
that Mr.. Ryan concede him a share in
the control of the Equitable Life AS
surance society last June. Mr.. Ryan
assured the committee that he had
meant no disrespect by his refusal to
disclose their conversations and said
that he had determined to answer the
questions to which he had refused re-
plies on Friday last because District
Attorney Jerome said he ought to
do so.
Mr.. Ryans version Of what Mr.. Har-
riman demanded and what he threat
ened to do upon refusal of his de-
mands was in substance as follows:
That Hartman demanded one-half of
the 502 shares of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance society which
Mr.. Ryan had purchased from James
H. Hyde and which gave Mr.. Ryan
control of the property
That Hartman threa tened. unless he
was conceded this share in the con-
troll of the society, to exert his political
and all other influences against Mr..
Ryan and his project.
That Hartman declared there prob
ably would be legislative action and
that in that event his influence would
be important.
That Hartman demanded the right
to name two of five trustees and to
vote the controlling stock in the elec-
ton of directors of the society.
In reply to repeated questions by
Charles e. Hughes counsel for the
committee, Mr.. Ryan stated that Mr.
Hartman did not threaten that there
should be Legislative action unless he
was given a share in the Equitable
control, but said there probably would
be such action. Neither did Mr. Har-
riman threaten any action by an Off
Ger of the government.
1t was strenuous interview, MIR.
Ryan said, and was held in the pres
epce of Elihu Root, then Mr. Ryan's
counsel, now secretary Of state, and
Paul d. Cravath, also Mr.. Ryans coun-
sci.
Mr.. Ryan tod the committee that he
drew the Inference from it that Mr..
Hartman did not want anybody to
control the Equitable society unless
he had q share in it, Mr.. Ryan also
stated that he paid 70 attention to
Mr. Harriman's statement that his in
huence would be important in the
event of legislative action and informed
him that he wanted no partners in
the enterprise. Mr.. Hartman did not
