AFTER SEATTLE ICE TRUST.
Charged That Companies Have Form
ed "a Combination.

Seattle, July 25.-Basing their au-
thority on the constitution of the
state of Washington and upon decis-
ions Of the supreme court of the state,
a number of citizens OF Seattle have
asked Prosecuting Attorney Mackin-
tosh to proceed against the local ice
companies and have them dis incor-
porated.
The reason for this action is because
as the petitioners allege, the COM
panies have become trusts and have
established trust prices and effected a
combine.
The petition was filed with Mr..
Macintosh Saturday but the fact did
not become known until today.
The parties making the complaint
are the following: l.. II. Wheeler, j.
a. Noble, L. L. Starkey, I. NJ. Rush
ton and Mr.. Rossberg. All are res
idents of Queen Anne hill. save Mr..
Noble.
The companies complained Of are
the Diamond Ice & Cold Storage COM
pany and the, Seattle Ice company. So
far this year the petitioners say that
they have been unable to get any ice.
In previous years ice has been de-
livered to them whenever they desired
it. Under the management of Charles
B. Crane they were able to get what
ever ice they wanted Now the COM
panies refuse to give the mice at any
price.
