THE COST OF ICE.
dubuque Telegraph


The Associated Press reports that
of the Central Ice Company of Kansas
City, testified in the ice trust hearing
in that city that he had started In
business in 1900 with capital of
5000, had cleared $4,000 in the follow :
ing year and that he now owned a
plant valued at 100000.
Lyons said that prices ought to be
even higher than they are. He told
of making two advances this season
in the price of ice sold to the ped
dlers, on April / and May l.
How did you come to raise the
price on the first Of April?" was asked.
Il heard that the Peoples Ice Com
pany was going to raise the price on
that date, SO raised It,"
''Why?'
well, am not in the ice business
as philanthropist. l wanted to get
all could for my ice"
The first advance was from SO cents
to 81 a ton. Later he made an adj
ditional raise when he heard that
the other companies intended doing
so.
ton in the ice business.
But it is not necessary this year,
he added
In reply to further questioning. Mr..
Lyons said:
IF 1 had the making of the price
of ice it would be higher than it is
now The downtown trade ought to
be paying 81 a ton. 1t is due to the
timidity of the icemen that the price
is not higher l say timidity. / won't
say cowardice, but it is business TIM
idity and moral timidity."
Lyons said he thought the cost OF
manufacturing ice was about SITS to
$1.S5.a ton.
Lyons evidently deals in artificial
ice as we'll as natural ice. and 1t must
be borne in mind that the cost of pro-
ducing the former is very considerably
more than the cost of the latter. Yet
Lyons made his fortune in five years
by selling ice for less than one-half
what Dubuque dealers are charging
TODAY. While the householder in Kan
sas City pays less than 81 ton, even
after all the advances, the householder
in Dubuque pays s12 ton.
The county attorney of Kansas City
has Rich Quick Lyons before ths
grand jury. Worse offenders are suf-
fered to escape the law by the county
attorney of Dubuque. Isn't it about
time the machinery of the law was
put in operation to enforce the square
deal to the consumer, MIR. County At
torney? There is isn't any doubt that
the public thinks the hour is growing
late and that you are already overdue.

DEFENSE in TRAIN
ROBBERY CASE
Predicted 1t viii Be Strong--Prose-
cution Even Weaker Than
on Precious Hearing.

Las Vegas, n. NJ, Nov. 23.--Wed.
nesday afternoon the prosecution in
the Black brothers and Murphy train
robbery case rested AMI those who
have heard the presentation of evi.
dence thus far, feel certain that if
anything, the prosecution witnesses
were even weaker than on the pre-
vious trial. 1t is expected that the
defense, which has now begun placing
its witnesses on the stand, will prove
a strong case, and an acquittal may
result.
The prosecution may have addi.
tional witnesses called in rebuttal.
J. j. Thomas of Lafayette, Colorado,
part owner and manager of the Sunny
side Mine, was the first witness for
the defense and he proved strong
one. He presented the records of the
work done by the men at the Sunny
side Mine and swore that the Black
brothers and Murphy were at the
mine and were paid off on the date of
the holdup SO that they could not pos
sibly have participated in it.

BETTER MAIL
SERVICE NEEDED
Postmaster Walter Takes Matter Up
With Department at Washington
Changes Urged.

Postmaster Paul A. +. Walter, has
taken up with the postal authorities
and the Santa Fe Railway Company
the matter of direct connection at
Lamy with train No. from the east,
known as the California Flyer, and
train No. 10, the fast mail train from
the south which arrives at Lamy at
9:l5 a. M, respectively. No. car
ries the heaviest eastern mail OF the
day and Postmaster Walter has asked
that all mail south of Lamy be dis
patched to Santa Fe on train No. 10
instead of train No. 9. This would
bring the heaviest mails Of the day
into Santa Fe before half past ten
in the forenoon, as trains Nos. 3 and
10 are nearly invariably on time AT
present the branch train which leaves
Santa Fe at S:20 a. m, must wait at
I.amy for train No. 2 from California
which is not lue at Lamy until II
O'Clock and during the winter is gen.
orally late. AS a consequence, the
heaviest mails of the day saunter In
to Santa Fe between one and six
o'clock in the afternoon when they
ought. to be here before eleven in
the morning. Since No. 10 has been
running it carries now all of the pas
sengers from Santa Fe bound for the
east and carries only passengers west
of Albuquerque for Santa Fe and those
are not many, so that not much in
jury would be done If connection
were not made with No. 2. until No.
| arrives at Lamy, which is shortly
before 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
However, the branch train returning
to Santa Fe before half past ten in
the morning would have time to make
connection with No. 2 even If the
latter is on time which is seldom. The
proposed change in train service will
also enable passengers and mail to
make connection with the outgoing
Denver & Rio Grande and Santa Fe
Central trains.
Postmaster Walter has also asked
for direct pouch from Albuquerque
on train No. 10 and one from Las We
gas on train No. 3, to give Santa Fe
a forenoon mail from Las Vegas. AT
present 1t receives only evening mails,
and these generally arrive too late
for distribution the same evening, as
the postoffice department refuses to
authorize the employment of night
clerk at the Santa Fe pOstoffice.
