Kansas City, July 1.-Ex-State
Senator Lyons, president of the Cen
trail lee company, of this city, gave
interesting testimony at the "ice
trust" hearing here today. After
stating that he had started in business
in 1900 with "A capital of six hundred
dollars, had cleared forty-hve thou
sand dollars in the following year, and
that he now owned a plant valued at
100000. Lyons said that the prices
ought to be even higher than they
are.
Lyons told of making two advances
this season in price of ice sold to ped
dlels, ON April II and May |.
Glow did you come to raise the
price on the first of April?' was
asked.
81 heard that the Peoples Ice com
pany was going t., raise the price on
that date, so | raised it,
"Why?"
"Well, | am not in business as a
philanthropist. ! wanted to get all
that | could for my ice, "
The first advance was from fifty
cents to one dollar a ton. Later he
made an additional raise when he
heard that the other companies were
doing so.
Lyons said that he knew of no com
binations in the ice business, "but it
is not necessary this year" he added.
In reply to further questioning,
Lyons said "If | had the making of
the price of ice, it would be higher
in business sales than it is now. Down
town trade today ought to be paying
seven dollars ton. 1t is due to the
tmidity of the ice men that the price
is not higher. ! say, timidity. |
won't say cowardice, but it is bust
ness timidity and moral timidity."
Lyons said he thought the cost of
manufacturing ice was about Sl.75
to Sl.S5 a ton.

z JE SERUM IS
 LIKED WITH CHOLERA
:. Strong Was Conducting ExperI- ments and Some Visitor Got
 the Tubes Mixed.

Manila, December 3.-An investigation made at Bilibid, where ten prisoners who had been inoculated with cholera serum recently died. has disclosed traces or. plague germs in the dead bodies. No for maj report on the result of the invosti- gation has been made, and the govern n.ent has reached no decision in the mat ter.
 It is asserted that tubes containing plague germs and others filled with chol- era serum, which are so much alike that it is almost impossible to distinguish them apart, were mixed in the laboratory by a visitor who examined the plague germs and by mistake placed them in a rack with the serum tubes. This is said to have occurred during the temporary ab- sence of Dr. R. P. Strong, of the bureau of science, who has been conducting ex- neriments. The natives generally are in ignorance of the situation, but the for eieners are indignant and bitter. It is not belieyed that criminal charges will be pre- ferred, but 1t is possible that Dr. Strong may resign.

CHARGES CRUELTY
 IN THE COLONIES
MEMBER OF GERMAN RElcHSTAG EXHIBITS STICK WITH WHICH NATIVES ARE FLoGGED FOR MOST TRIVIAL oFFENSES.

Berlin, December 3.-1n the Reehstag today Herr Roeren, the eentrst leader, continued his revelations of colonial scandals. Amid general laughter he pro- i duced large stick, about the size of his little finger and laying 1t on the table, explained that it was that with which fogging was administered in the colony This punishment, he said, was in- flicted upon the natives by the strongest O. fhe black soldiers. The unfortunate victim was stripped naked and strapped to block or cask by the hands and feet. and thus flogged. The result of this was that the punished man was sick and weak for long time.
 The speaker said the nogglng was some times inflicted upon natives by the of hcers of the colonies for the most trivial offenses. Herr Dernbery, director of the colonial offices, spoke in defense of the colonial officials. He refuted several cases cited, and accused Herr Roeren of mis- representing the facts. He said the Ger man people, after having read the speech ot the centrist leader, would be com pelled to believe that the colonies were governed by wild animals and not human beings. Herr Dunbergs speech was greet ed with much applause on the right, which, with the clappng of hands in the galleries, drowned the uproar on the left.

TRAINS NOT COMPELLED
 TO STOP AT MAGNOLIA
U. s. Supreme Court Decides Missis- sippi R. R. Commission Cannot
 Compel |. c. to Stop Trains.

Washington, December 3.-According to a decision rendered today by the supreme court of the United States, opinion by Justice Peckham, state railroad com mission cannot compel trains running from one state to another to stop at des- ignated stations.
 The case involved was that of the Mis- sissippi railroad commission vs. the H. linois Central Railroad company, and it grew out of an effort on the part of the commission to compel certain through trains on that road to stop at the town of Magnolia, a place of 1200 inhabitants, about 100 miles from New Orleans, and the county seat of Pike county.
 The contention was made on behalf of the railroad that the town has already three trains daily to New Orleans, and Il was urged that to make the through rains stop would disarrange schedules, break connections and prevent compliance with the terms of the road contract for the expeditions carrying of the mails. The state law was attacked as in contraven- ton of the interstate clause of the fed eral constitution. The circui court Of the United States for Mississippi, in which the case was tried, upheld the law, but the court of appeals took the opposite view, declaring the exaction unreason- able, reversed the decision of the trlal court and held for the company
 That decision was upheld by Justice Peckham's opinion. He held that the rail road offered sufficient facilities to Mag nolia without the stoppage of fast trains

CANCEL INSURANCE
 ON TOBACCO HOUSES
EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY NOES ACTION IN KENTUCKY SATUR- DAY IS INTENSE AND CHANCE OF CONVICTION SLIGHT.

Princeton, Ky, December 3.-All insur- ance policies covering buildings owned or controlled by the tobacco trust, so-called' in western Kentucky were cancelled today as a result of the burning of two stem meries by mob which entered Princeton last Friday night. The policies were can celled by telegraph from Louisville most or them being in two companies.
 The excitement caused- by the mob's ac- tion is still intense, interest being height ened by the inquiry begun today by State Fire Marshal Ayers. Several witnesses were examined, among them being prom inent citizens. All had encountered mem bers of the mob. but they testified with one exception that they failed to recos- nize any of the raiders. The exception was the case of William Winters. a sec. tion man employed by the Illinois central railroad, and who is already under arrest charged with participating in the rald. The fact that one which had prevlousiy declared he recognized members or the r,oh testified to the contrary today, IS taken as an indication that the chances of securing of convictions are slight

President Honinates Huntsville
 Man for District Attorney
SHOWS REVERSAL OF POLICY
Action Comes as Big Surprise to Ala bama Politicians, Who Believed Rouhac. Would Be Reap
 pointed for Efficiency.
BY WArTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, December S.-(special)- The President today appointed Oscar R Hundley of Huntsville, Ala, district at torney for the Northern district of Ala bama, to succeed Thomas R. Roulhac, the incumbant.
 The appointment is the biggest kind oi a surprise to the Alabama politicians who were firmly of the belief that Judge Roulhac would be retained in office The appointment is purely Rooseveltian, and marks a decided change upon the part of the President in the policy he has here tofore adopted towards southern appoint ments. Four years ago when the lily white movement was at its height the President declared that he intended to build up a decent republican party in the south.
 Change of Policy.
 He turned down all candidates for the federal judgeship and appointed Thomas G. Jones, the federal judge of the Middle district A short time later the district attorneyship of the Northern district came up for settlement, and the President con- tinuing his policy turned down all the republican applicants and appointed Thomas R. Roulhac, democrat, the dis trct attorney. Today, when the question of the reappointment of Roulhac was brought forward the President declined to reappoint Roulhac and named in his place Oscar R. Hundley, a republican.
 Judge Roulhac, who is a democrat, is one of the best lawyers in the state, and, in every respect has proved an efficient district attorney. It was thought there was no question that he would succeed himself. Certainly on his record he de- served to be reappointed. Oscar Hundley has for some time been associated with the Presidents referees and has taken a prominent part in the distribution of post office patronage in the state.
 Partially Due to Referees.
 It is to the referees, as well as his own personal acquaintance with the President that the appointment is due. At the last session of Congress when the bill creating another judiciary district in the state of Alabama was before the House, it was beaten largely for the reason that the claim was made that in case another dis trict judge was appointed 1t would be Hundley. It seems, therefore, that tho Huntsville man, seeing there was no op- portunity to go on the federal bench, has selected the district attorneyship as the next best opening, and accordingly re- ceived the appointment.
 Hundley's appointment was today re- ferred to the Senate judiciary committee and will be considered in about two weeks It is reported here tonight that charges may be preferred against him, but the chances are that he will eventually be confirmed, as it is presumed that the President went carefully over the case before reporting a decision, and his friends will accordingly use every effort to secure Hundley's confirmation.
 Senator Pettus of Alabama is a mem Der of the judiciary committee, and will have the big say on the committees ac- ton.
