REFUSED THE PRESIDENT.
An Invitation 10 Dine Al the white House
That Wasn't Aeeepted.

WARRINGTON, June 2S.-For a good many
years, and particularly since the United
States became a world power, the great
question that agitated Washington no.
ciety Is this: Is an invitation from the
President q commando John Willis Of
GlasgowiMon. decided to-day In his breezy
Western way that 1t wasn't.
Back in the sos. when Theodore Roose-
welt was a ranchman In North Dakota, John
Willis was his ranch foreman. They got
pretty well acquainted and some OF the
things they did have been told In Hunting
Trips Of a Ranohman' and Ranch Life and
Hunting Trail. which Mr.. Roosevelt wrote.
When he called at the Presidents offices to-
day he was accompanied by Senator Carter
and Representative Dixon Of Montana aud
Thomas Everett Of Harlem, In that State.
Willis and Everett came to protest to the
President against what they claimed were
dilatory tactics on the part Of the reclama-
ton engineers who are engaged on the Milk
River project in Montana, Foul years had
been spent in surveying by the engineers,
they told the President, and not a stroke
of practical work had been done.
The President was delighted to see Willis,
and when Willis was through talking bust
ness Mr.. Roosevelt asked him to take din
ner at the White House tonight. Willis
mutmured that he didn't rave a dress
suit and it wouldn't to do dine with the
President of the United States unless you
were logged out proper.
ooh, that needn't worry you at ALL
responded tiro President.
1T makes a heap Of difference" said
witt. aluo, a H. tka x,-lt kh;,-
l know what's proper
you'd be just as welcome to my table
if you came in buokskin trousers" insisted
the President.
Il know that's true" Willis replied 4but
/ guess III have to sidestsp this trip. II
you're taking any horseback rides out on
the trail hereabouts I'm you're man, but
l guess III get my grub at that downtown
hashery where ! g am b%unking.'
And that was the end Of it. No amount
of persuasion could induce John Willis to
sit at the White HOUSE mahogany with his
former employer,

ICE TRUST HEADS ARRESTED.
THIRTEEN PHILADELPHIA BUST-
NESS MEN HELD.

In the Absence OF statute Against Com.
binatiOns to Raise Prices District
Attorney Takes Action Under COmmon
Law-Has Minutes Of Price Committee.
PHILADELPHIA; June 2s.-District At
torney John C. Bell to-day took drastic
measures to break up the Philadelphia
Ice Trust. He issued thirteen warrants
for as many Of the larger Ice dealers.
The biggest dealer, the American Ice
Company, In the person Of It's mana ger,
Is among the thirteen for whom warrants
were issued. The District Attorney has
found that the American owns or controls
the Hancock and the United Ice companies.
It was after Bell had found that the ice
dealers had formed an "1oe Exchange and
that the price committee Of this organiza-
ton WAS responsible for each rise in price
that he decided to act.
The price committee advanced the price
from $3.50 a ton to a, and recently to IS
wholesale, while householders were paying
$40 a ton. The District Attorney has the
minutes of the meeting at which prices were
raised. He has subpenaed the secretary.
He has also gained the confidence Of many

evidence In his hands he hopes TO break
the Ice combine.
After the thirteen warrants had been
issued to-day the trust inserted advertise
ments in the afternoon papers saying h
prices would go no higher. All OF the
accused assumed an apologetio air and
explained that they had joined the ex-
change merely for social reasons. They
declared that they had been compelled to
raise the price OF ice because OF its scarcity.
The American Ice Company purchased
the plants Of most of the independents.
The Mountain Ice Company got control OF
nearly all the natural ice from the noun
tains, and between the two they cornered
the market.
All the defendants entered bail and will
have a hearing on Monday.
There is no statute law in this State upon
which to base a prosecution, blu the Dis
trict Attorney will depend upon the COM
mon law, which forbids the banding to-
gether of any set of'men to raise the price
Of a commodity. The penalty is $500 fine
and Imprisonment not exceeding two years.
ST. LOUIS, June 2s.-Acting under in
.structions from Gov. Folk, Circuit Attorney
Seger has begun investigation Of the ice
trust, which has advanced the price from
rs cents a hundred pounds to 40 cents,
though the cost Of production has not in
creased.
The work Of the Grand Jury will be with
held until indictments are returned, II any
should be found. The penalty provided in

tobe less strenuous than last year, when the
peace negotiations we're on between Russia

Sc great was Harvard's victory that
tonight the town is being kept awake
and alive by a bowling mob of enthusiastic
graduates of all ages joining with UNDER
graduates in one great demonstration
: that hope just long enough deferred
maketh the heart glad. The anticipation
of such o triumph has made every Harvard
man the keener in appetite as the years
followed on, and now that there is some
thing TO celebrate the Crimson is attend
ing to it in every kind Of way.
It Is odd to notice how Harvard flags
have advanced in price since the after
noon, and every lad who tried in vain to
cell the banners Of the Cambridge clan
before now is reaping the harvest.
GREAT CROWD TO SEE THE RACES.
Il was a great crowd that saw the races
the greatest in years. The reports that
Harvard had a wonderful crew drew all
the loyal Sons Of that university here to
back It up. Yale men came to see their
own crew win, or il not to observe that rare
phenomenon, q winning Harvard varsity
eight. There were no less than 10000
persons who saw the varsity race in the
afternoon. Perhaps there were more, but
that ia conservative, at any event.
Two observation trains, jammed full,
q string Of yachts and pleasure craft
lining both sides Of the course for a mile
or more above the bridge and great crowds
Of persons lined up along the banks and
wherever a hill gave vantage point, those
made up the tally Of the great gathering.
There is no prettier scene than the New
London course, with all its imperfections
on Its head. The rows Of vessels, all gayly
decked out with flags, make a feature that
" approached nowhere else in this country.
For the beauty Of the feminine portion
Of the Yale-Harvard crowd it would be
hard indeed to find a match. 1t might be
equalled, but b~eaten-never. The college
man naturally, because Of his training in
the arts, Is q slave to beauty, and Yale and

State Senate Again.
Big Tim Sullivan has sent his formal resig-
nation as a Member of Congress to Gov.
Higgins. The announcement was made
yesterday in Washington by Speaker Can
non and was expected. Since the beginning
Of the year Big Tim has frequently stated
that he would never b. a candidate again
for Congress. Washington was uncongenial
to him, He never felt at home there and
it was too far from New York to suit him.
AT the present sefsion he has been in his
place only a few times and has spent more
time in Albany than in Washington.
He will be sent pack to the State Senate
from the new II venth district, now repre-
sented by Daniel j. Rjordan. II was question
as to whether Senator Riordan or John c.
Fitzgerald of the new Twelfth district would
be displaced by the big fellow, but Dan
volunteered and IL is understood that the
S%ullivans will find some good job for him.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2S-The
fruition of years Of seemingly hopele ss
waiting came to Harvard to-day, and for the
fourth time in twenty-one years the Crimson
triumphed over Tale in the annual varsity
bort race over four miles of the American
Thames.
A grand, superb victory it was, mighty,
thunderous and powerful, so crushing
and grinding that superlatives fall back
to the simple degree and language has to
be made anew to fit the description within
its bounds.
For Harvard and Yale rowed stroke
for stroke for a mile. two miles, three miles,
a quarter, a half, with never a streak Of
daylight between the shells and Yale's
bow always on a line with Morgan, the
No. 3man in the Harvard boat.
Then, with a little more than a quarter
mile to go, the gigantic Flley had his
revenge. The Harvard stroke and captain
sat before in two other varsity Fights that
Yale has beaten and this was his chance.
Up and up he drove the stroke and foot by
foot the Crimson boat came away. AS
it did so utter and complete rout fell upon
Yale. SO often the conqueror.
For a change il was Harvasd that was
the aggressor when the line was nigh and

The space between the shells grew wider
and wider and Harvard swept across the
finish two lengths and a half the victor.
Three strokes before the line Noyes, No. 8

inert and pulseless as the beaten craft
slipped into the long sought water. Weeks

SIOUX CITY, Ia, June 2s.-In a letter

minis to-day he proposed virtually that the

the Republican nominee for Governor Of
Iowa. Perkins has conceded Cummins
1872 uncontested delegates. or within 80
of a majority, and 90 delegates, all from
counties where Cupmins is strong, remain
to he chosen.
In to-day's letter, Perkins asks Cum
minis to join in a request that the chairman
Of the national committee appoint a COM
mission of three of its members to hear
all contests and make up the temporary
roll call of the State convention.
Cummins probably will maintain that he
has already won and that there is nothing
to arbitrate.

CHOTZLANOFF-CALLAGHAN.
Hearing on Latter's Application t
 Take Poor Debtors Oath.

pr P. J. Callaghan was on the grid iron in the district court to-day un- dergoing an examination as to the whereabouts of all the money he was supposed to have earned during the past few years. About a month ago the doctor was arrested and taken to jail, in default of a bond, he being
 unable to satisfy judgment given against him four years ago in favor Iof Julius Chotzianoff. The proceed ings to-day were a review of his financial condition, as he some time ago filed petition to be permitted to take the poor debtors oath. The doctors testimony was of a general character to the effect that whatever money he had earned during the past few years he lost in ventures of vari- ous kinds and he Is without any real estate or funds now.
 Anne McShane of Bridgeport testi- fled she is half-sister of the doctor and twice month for some time she has come to town and given him money for the. support and education of his daughter, who is 10 years old. During the past two years the little girl has received from Mrs McShane and her grandmother about $1,600. Miss McShane said the last donation was $50, and this she gave the doctor about month ago. She works for a living, she said, but she has little money and also some invested, and while she was not able to say what her income was she was able, how ever, to give fairly we'll to the little girl. The $1,600 is in bank in the little girls name. The doctor was brought up from New Haven by Sher- if Durham. He is enjoying the lib- critics of the jail on bail.
 Judge Peasley before whom the inquiry took place decided that the poor debtors oath should be adminis- tered to Doctor Callahan.
