ALL ANIMALS SUFFER.
Measures Taken to Reieue Horses
and DOGS.

The heat is causing suffering among horses
dogs and cats almost severe as that among
mankind. Superintendent Hankinson of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails said yesterday that his society is using
every effort TO alleviate the distress. From Z
o'clock a m till o'clock p. m it has outside its
office threess spray baths for horses. Seventy five
horses an hour were receiving the treatment
yesterday. 1t also has stationary spray at it's
ambulance hospital, at No. IL East 22d-st.
Superintendent Hankinson said he has advised
all owners Of horses to leave their animals lying
in the street when prostrated, as they will by
ordinary treatment of cold water to the kidneys
and then to the head recover, but the continual
harrassing OF the animals when in an exhausted
condition will tend to kill them.
The society has lately been collecting 125
abandoned cats daily. At the offal dock the
r. White Company, contractors for the Board
Of Health, are receiving each day sxty-five to
seventY-fve horses dead from heat.
A case OF heat stroke TO a horse working in
an excavation twelve feet below the surface at
6th-ave and 17th-st. stopped building opera
tions there two hours yesterday. The horse was
attended by DR.. Frank McCafery, of the Vet
erinary Hospital, West 25th-st, who for over
an hour and half was playing the hose on
the animals body.
The horses chiefly afflicted are those over ten
years old, and young green animals from the
West, which are not acclimated. In dogs those
of long coated breed are the chief sufferers and
the treatment is similar to that for a human
being

ARLINGTON WITHOUT ICE.
Boycotted Families Import 1t in
Automobiles.

Arlington, July 10 (specaD.-The terror OF
the hot spell is being augmented in this town and
surrounding districts by ice war which is being
waged between firms which members Of the
Independent Ice Dealers Association and those who
owe allegiance to order or union and are not
even controlled by the trust. Meantime the con-
sumers who not parties to the fight, are the
victims.
1t was when the demand for ice grew above the
normal that the association adopted policy which
has brought much discomfort to the people OF
Arlington. At Independence Hail. in Newark last
Monday night the association adopted a rule that
ice should be sold at any time to those who
were regular customers of the opposition dealers.

usually took one piece of ice day. either in the
morning or afternoon found that double supply
was necessary. The association carts came round
in the forenoon. Those Of the other firms only
arrive in Arlington in the afternoon. Their regu-
night, tried to buy a fresh supply OF the union
carts only to be refused unless they would con-
tract to deal exclusively with them. Many fami-
lies were thus obliged change their ice dealers
But so intense has been the heat that some
housewives have found 1t necessary to continue
patrons of both the association firms and those
out OF the union.
To-day the fact of this innocent double dealing
In some manner became known to both sides and
many good women OF Arlington found themselves
denied the privilege OF buying ice Of either party
ice anyway or anywhere. except by journeying
to Newark and carrying It back home themselves.
