The two trips which the steamer Susan

Sunday was enjoyed by large crowd of
care-free voyagers. That a boat ride is
cooling, refreshing and invgorsting is
vouched for by all who were on board.
The drawbridge, as usual, excited the
curiosity and attention of the passengers

CROWS MOTION is ON FILE
Convicted Ex-POstmaster Asks for n
New Hearing in Federal
Courf,

Attorneys for Joseph Crow filed a motion
for a new trial in his case in the United
States district court late Monday after
noon. The motion alleges twenty-six allie
cations OF error The chief of these are
that the Judge erred In his instructions to
the Jury, and also in sending the jury back
after 1t had once come into the court room
and stated that it did not think it would
be able to agree. Other averments of
error are the admission of irrelevant testi-
mony and the invasion Of the sacredness OF
the grand jury room and the right OF Jurors
to discuss orally the merits or dement's
of bill. 1t is further alleged that no
evidence was produced to show that the de-
PENDANT. Joseph Crow, had given any of the
jurors passes or that he had in any manner
sought to influence jurors by requesting
transportation favors for them. The date
for the argument on the motion for a new
trial has not yet been fixed.

BOYS THINK THEY FIND BODY
Police, However. Are Inclined TO
Doubt the Correctness of
Their Theory.

That the body Of a man lies at the bottom
OF what Is known as Cat Tail pool" near
Thirteenth and Nicholas streets. was the
startling announcement made to Patrol
man Hudson and Captain Jacks of Engine
company No. 4, 1901 North sixteenth street,
by a number Of boys, who had been bathing
in the little body OF water shortly before
dark Monday evening Badly frightened,
the boys rushed out of the water to give
the alarm after three Of them had dived
into the pool and satisfied themselves the
object on the bottom was the body OF a
man.
A little boy living at SOS North Seven
teenth street was the first to make the
gruesome discovery and Frank Morris, aged
is, and another companion made investiga-
tons, each reaching the same conclusion.
The matter was reported to the police sta
ton, but as 1t was then dark, and no
report of missing persons had been re-
ceived. no action was taken by the au-
thorities. The police are inclined to doubt
the accuracy of, the, boys story.

It was expected he would tell what he

year. although the Talbot Ice company,
which is now merged into the Doe concern,
worked hamoniously with the Lamereaux

Omaha Ice and Coal company. He said
that the Peoples Ice and the Keirle Ice
companies were competitors then. He said
that what knowledge he had OF the condi-
tions this year were that they were virtu-
ally the same as last year. He thought
the increased price was due to the shortage
Of local production last winter, which was
only one-half the usual crop. He declared
the Ice companies lost money last year.

the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage COM
psny, commonly known as the Doe COM
pany, Keirle Ice company, West Omaha
Ice company, East Omaha Ice company,
Prizes Lake Ice company and Ryan Ice
company. He admitted that they all
charged about the same price. He said
he had no agreement with any one about
prices nor had there been any as he know
Of and that the companies had tried to
agree heretofore but could not. st.o-,.
Mr.. Keirle stated that the big companies
started out by fixing the price ana the
others followed accordingly, which was
the course adopted by his company this
year. II developed during his statement
and those of others that the butchers and
the Grocers bargain through their associa-
lions and obtain lower prices than the pub
lie by contract each season with a single
company. Mr.. Keirle said the Doe company
had the butchers contract last year. This
year, he said. ice is sold to butchers at
