discussed freely at that time, but
il was purely a social meeting.

No Actual Agreement.

But there was no agreement to fix
the price of ice. The independents. good
feeling having been promoted, did cone
to an agreement that they would not
cut IN on one another. That is, If one
of them was selling to a block customer
at 3 cents a hundred, no other dealer
would take the customer away by Of
fering to supply him with ice at 20 or p
cents a hundred.
However. this was merely friendly
agreement. No officers of the meeting
were chosen. and the thing was entirely

OF Mitchell coming upon the market is
one OF the ineXpiicable things that
brokers cannot understand. All the re-
ports have been of the most favorable
character, and yet the stock is fed out
pToTusely with little regard TO price
secured. The sales on the local stock
board TODAY amounted 10 300 shares.
but as the faithful were still buying op-
tOns the amount of real stock coming
out was only about half as much.
Greene Copper made a new low record
at 20A and was In a weak condition even
at that low figure.
One of the most remarkable transac-
tiOns of this year was the sale Of forty
shares of Farmers and Mechanics Bank
stock. which started at 32lle and broke
TO 3lS before the selling ceased. In the
early part of this year the stock sold
as high as $40 and the amount traded
in today was equal TO the combined

Ice Drivers
Insist Upon
Jury Trial

Upon information furnished by Assist
ant Sealer of Weights and Measures.
Albert Mabers, thirty-one years old Of
12S NJ street. southeast, employed by the
American lee Company as a driver, was
arrested this morning by the first
precinct police charged with a siOla-
tion o. the weight and measure law
Mabers, IL is alleged. was caught sell
ing short-weight ice to consumers. Ma
bers was allowed 10 give s. collateral
for his appearance in police court to-
morrow,
Jury trials were demanded by four
American Ice Company drivers who
were in the Police Court today TO an
swer charges Of failing to weigh ice,
using scales that had not been tested,
or giving short weight.
Charges Against Icemen.
The defendants were Frank Weller,
whose scales did not conform to the
standard; Albert Maber. who is said to
have neglected 20 weigh ice served to
his customers; Henry Avery, who. il is
alleged. weighed ice on scales that had
not been tested and sealed. and Robert
Matthews, who, according to the as
sistant sealer of weights and meas
ures. did not go through the formality
Of weighing a piece Of ice before de-
livering it.
These men were represented by At
torney George Hoover, counsel for the
corporation. by whom they are en-
ployed. Yesterday Mr.. Hoover appeared
before Judge Mullowny and stated that
the company was making an investi-
cation of the charges and did not de-
sire 10 go to trial before learning all
the facts in the case. This morning
ne declared that the company thought
IL best TO have the cases heard by a
jury.
Charged With Short Weight Chicken.
Another case of violating the act Of
June -. 1906 governing weights and
measures in the District, was in court
today. The article sold was chicken,
instead of fee. The defendant was Hor-
ace L. Grant, OF 933 Louisiana avenue
northwest. II is alleged that he sold
a chicken weighing six pounds, charging
for eight pounds. He asked for q con-
Uinuance, which was granted. The case
will probably be heard tomorrow, un-
less Mr.. Grant demands n jury trial.
Will Require Larger Collateral.
Believing that the local ice men. in
the light Of the publicity recently given
their affairs, have had ample time to
meet the provisions of the law concern
ing the selling of short weight. District
Sealer of Weights and Measures Haskell
has announced his intention of requir-
ing future onenders TO put up larger col
lateral at the police station al the
time the arrests are made, in order that
their appearance in the police court to
answer the charge may be assured.
Sealer Haskell Is convinced that offences
of this kind committed in the future
will not be on the score of ignorance of
the law, but in the nature of an inter-
ti0n 10 defraud customers. He believes
that if they are required to deposit col
lateral of so or upward they will be
careful TO give only the exact weight
and 10 insure this viii see that their
business.

so forceful were these complaints
against the practice few days ago
that Commissioner West determined up-
on action which would put an immediate

Sylvester the Commissioner instructed
Captain Schneider, Of the Seventh pre-
cinct. To investigate the matter. which
lay within hi- Jurisdiction. and 10 make
arrests whenever nude bathers on the
District side Of the river were found.
Captain Schneider assigned TWO plain
clothes men TO the duty 10 patrol the
river banks from the Aqueduct bridge
20 the Chain bridge. but after several
days the watchers reported that the
bathers congreg8ted almost entirely on
the Virginia shore.

Schneider at once invited Sheriff Palm

troll that side of the river from the
Aqueluct TO the Chain bridge and 10
suppress this form of bathing.
