MAYOR DOREMUS IS
THANKED BY CITIZENS.

NEWARK, May 5.AMore than ff-
ty persons, business men and heads
of families, visited the City Hall in
Newark yesterday to personally
thank Mayor Henry M. Doremus foi
the stand he is taking against the
increase of one hundred per cent in
are price of ice for family use and
sc 2-3 per cent in the case of restau.
rants, saloons, hotels, ice ear max
ers, milkmen, fish dealers and Other
large users. Some of them had some
information to give, too, in regard tc
the combination of icemen which has
resulted in the unprecedented
boosting of prices to a point which
will work hardship to thousands.
Those visitors were turned over to
City Attorney Malcolm MacLear, who
spent the greater part of the day in
listening to stories, reading law and
gathering facts, in accordance with
the request of Mayor Doremus that
he finds some way to legally attack
the schemen which has resulted in
present conditions.
OF all the things listened to by Mr..
MacLear, the most interesting was a
story that a bonded combination ac-
tually exists between the Independent
Ice Dealers Association, composed of
retailers, and the Union Ice Com
pany, which has practically a monop-
oily of the wholesale business in New
ark. The latter concern has bought
up during the few years several large
wholesale ice companies, some of
which handled the natural product,
and others that manufacture ice.
While this consolidation of iterests
was going on the retailers concluded
that they should also get together.
They cried III that they were being
browbeaten and ruined by the "Ice
Trust" and declared that they must
organize for self-protection and for
the protection of the public against
a possible imposition of exorbitant
prices. They formed the independent
association and started with brass
bands and a parade of ice wagons
through the streets, exhibiting scores
of placards on which the printed SEN
timents were: Down with the trust;
support the independent ice men,"
Public support was accorded the
movement and it was believed that
the independents were really what
their name implied. Now, according
to the story which was told yesterday
10 City Attorney MacLear, the indie
pendents have entered into an agree
ment with the Union Ice Company.
~ to prices to be established and
maintained this year.

Report OF q Fight.

Reports of a fight between two
Hungarians near the famous brick
tenement in Herbert street, near

car barns and by Sergeant Mulligan
at police headquarters, both about
10:45 o'clock last night. Patrolman

signs of a conflict. People at the
brick house denied knowledge OF a
fracas, but loud arguing was heard
from within. Persons in the neigh
borhood told the officer that the con-
testants had run into the house when
they had spied the officer approach
ing on the car.

HIGH PRICED ICE TO
INCREASE MEAT COST.

PATERSON, May 5-That the leg
islature would be doing a public SER
vice if it passed a law under which
the ice trust could be prosecuted
criminally for extortion was the senti-
ment expressed yesterday by a citi-
zen of Paterson in discussing the ac-
ton of the dealers of hat city in
increasing the price of ice from thirty
cents a hundred pounds to 81 a hun
bred pounds for ordinary domestic
custom, and doubling the price for
the small cakes of ice delivered daily
to humble homes.
While no action has been taken by
any public body in Paterson it is en-
tirely probable that the move of the
ice dealers will be a subject for Off
cial censure when the board of alder
men meets Monday night. No real
hardship has been felt as yet, but the
public knows that the advance in the
price of ice will soon cause much
hardship especially among the poor
people.
Butchers and other merchants who
must use ice in large quantities in
the summer season freely admit that
the action of the ice dealers will COM
pei them to advance the price of food
stuffs, and 1t is predicted that the ad-
vance will make meat and provisions
more expensive than they have ever
been.
Mark my word" said a dealer,
confidently. that meat this summer
will become a luxury. Everyone who
buys will be compelled to contribute
to the plethoric wallets of the ice
man."

Value Of the Scheme
Inestima BILE.
BY MRS. DoRE A. LYON.

The value of the offer made by the
Sunday World is inestimable.
To provide not only thousands, but
hundreds of thousands, of people with
literature Of the highest class, which they
could not otherwise afford, is the first
and most important value of the stories
to be given by the Sunday World.
Another and almost as important a SER
vice that results from the generosity of
the Sunday World is the stimulation OF
literature by inducing the production OF
twelve new books of merit.
The praise of every one, to which ]
most heartily add my own, should be
given to the Sunday World.

The Growing Value
of the Press.
BY REV. DR.. JOSEPH SILvERMAN,
Rabbi of Temple Emanuel.

To put in the hands Of people who could
not otherwise afford it the best of litera-
ture is q godsend. 1t is an enterprise
worthy Of unqualified approval.
The plan of the Sunday World to secure
stories from twelve writer's of such recog-
nized merit as the twelve who will write
for. The World is only another proof OF
the evergrowing value of the press. With
out reading a single line of any one OF
the books, the names Of the authors and
the knowledge that they win be within
the reach of every n is sufficient to Sc
cure my heartiest commentator.

II What REPRESENTATIVE Men and Women Say About the Sunday World NOVELS. ~
Praise from a Great
Magazine Editor.
BY S. S. MCCLURE,
Editor Of McCIure,s magazine.

Editor OF McCIureS Magazine.
= In literature you may repro
duce an infinite number OF copies, each
as good as the first. This Is where lit
erature differs from painting and sculp-
ture. To-day's tendency in literature Is
to get the real thing to the reader with
the least possible expense.
The Sunday World is now giving, prac-
tically for nothing, twelve times a year,
a new work by an author of established
fame and reputation.
1t is the ultimate representation of the
~cheapening process OF the present day.
The reader of the Sunday World gets just
as good a thing to read as IL he paid the
standard price Of a novel-$1.50-or
bought an Illuminated copy on vellum for
500. 1t is a wonderful expression of the
modern way of doing things.

Will Benefit Every
body.
BY ERMAN j. RIDGWAY,

Publisher of Everybody's Magazine.
The more the public is educated toward
a taste for good literature the better we
publishers will like it. The cheaper you
can make fiction Of a high class the more
people will want to read it and the more
of 1t will be sold.
Considered strictly as q business propo-
sition, this new step in journalism on the
part of the Sunday World will benefit
everybody-authors publishers and the
great public-because it will stimulate
the demand more and more for just such
good literature as is now to be provided
practically for nothing. This in turn will
surely create a greater demand for the
magazines and for fiction in general.
