The rumor that Peter Sloyinski, the

the saloon drinking beer from a can, the
beer being served by the proprietor of
te place. When the police entered the

picions on the part of his wife. She
called at the City Hospital early Mon
day morning to ascertain her husbands
condition. She insisted on remaining with
her husband all day, but this was against
the rules of the hospital. Then she

lnterparliamentary Union Adopts His
Arbitration Suggestion.
London, July 25.-William j. Bryan's
proposed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at session Of the
international council of the Interparlia-
mentary union, and after being recast
to read as follows was unanimously
adopted:
If disagreement should arise which
is not included in those to be submitted
to arbitration the contracting parties
shall not resort to any act of hostility
before they separately or jointly invite,
as the case may necessitate, the forma-
ton of an international commission Of
inquiry or mediation of one or more
friendly powers, this requisition to take
place if necessary in accordance with
article of The Hague convention pro-
viding for peaceful settlement of in
ternational conflicts
Mr.. Bryan said his amendment was
aimed at widening the scope of arbitra-
ton so as to include questions of ma
tional honor, the chances being hun
dred to one that the proposed investi-
cation of facts would also settle any
question of national honor.
If the hand of war could be stayed
till the conscience awakened wars
would become more remote. The
amendment therefore was long step

by Newspaper Dropped.
New York, July 25.-Attorney Gen
eral Mayer of New York state has
started an investigation to show wheth-
er the American Ice company, known
as the ice trust, is keeping within the
law in selling ice at higher price than
last year. Mr. Mayer had received a
letter at his camp in the Adirondacks
from Wesley NJ Oler, president of the
company, in which he said the company
was 'ready at any time to give you a
full exposition of the condition of the
ice trade as far as the American Ice
company is concerned without the
necessity on your part of beginning le-
gal proceedings to procure such infor-
nation"
In conformance with this offer Mr..
Mayer invited the ice trust president
to his Office. Mr.. Oler was closeted
with the attorney general about TWEEN
ty minutes. With mass of figures he
attempted to convince the attorney gen.
eral that the reason the price of ice
had been raised from 80 to 40 cents
was that the crop was short
He invited Mr.. Mayer to send man
up to the Office of the company to look
into its affairs thoroughly, and Mr..
Mayer said he would
No Criminal Action Intended.
The attorney general seemed anxious
afterward to have it understood that
he had no power or intention to bring
a criminal action against the company
and that the possibility Of a civil pro-
ceeding depended entirely on what
might be discovered by investigation.
The aldermen at a special meeting
discussed the Ice question They form
ally received District Attorney Je-
rome's communication, in which he
crime had been committed and that,
being unable to compel heAeompany to
produce it's books, he had referred the
whole subject to the attorney general
1t was learned that a morning news
paper some time ago began proceedings
against the ice trust, alleging criminal
ity. The hearings were secret and a
magistrate presided. The last testi-
mony was taken last Wednesday.
Nothing was printed about the proceed
ings because, it is said, the ice COM
pany was able to put up such good
defense that no action or allegation of
restraint of trade could lie against it.
