DISAPPEARANCE OF
PITCHER A MYSTERY

Pitcher VIM. Thomas of Buffalo,
who mysteriously disappeared in
the night from a boat in Long Is
land sound, was one of the most
promising players in the Eastern
league. No trace of his body has
been found, but there seems little
doubt he met a watery death. The
Buffalo team was en- route home
by boat from Providence and Thorn
as was assigned to stateroom
with one of the other players. Dur
ing the night he disappeared from
his room and his absence was not
discovered until the following
morning. 1t is believed he became
i'll and while leaning over the side
of the vessel lost his balance and
fell into the water. Thomas was
well known on the Pacific coast,

HOW ICE TRUST PLANNED
/. TO BOOST PRICES

can investigation into the opera
ton of the Diamond Ice company,
which controls the output for Spo-
kane and has boosted prices to $40
a ton to the consumer" says a
prominent merchant, shows that
early this spring a deliberate plan
was made to cause a shortage so
as to boost the price.
The Diamond and Cocolalla COM
panies have large ice houses on
Cocolalla lake. During the first cold
snap the Diamond company har-
vested enough snow ice to put in
its storage houses and supply the
large markets. In March, when the
next cold snap occurred, the Coco
lalla company harvested three
quarters of a full crop. while the
Diamond company, with its ice
houses on the same lake only a
short distance away, harvested
none.
A person with half an eye can
see how it was planned to cause a
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-05-14

shortage and thus sell half the ice
at double the price. In the mean
time, the Diamond company had
contracted for the output of the
Empire artificial crop and as this
may be manufactured and delivered
for $1.55 a ton they are making a
profit of $1S.45. The output of the
artificial ice company was contract
ed at SO a ton and it leaves a profit
of SIT to the Diamond company.
In this connection it may be said
that the Inland Brewing company
will soon have it's artificial plant
completed and negotiations are
under way to contract the output
to some firm with an agreement to
sell to the saloons which handle
the Inland beer for a stipulated
price, which Is said to be 35 cents
a hundred. The Diamond Ice COM
pany is now selling to saloons for
60 cents hundred, which Is so
per cent of raise in the price at
which they had been selling here
tofore.

Batting AVERAGES

The Indians certainly got their
batting averages filled full of holes
in the Tacoma series. Big Eddie
Hutchinson still is in the lead, but
he has dropped from .423 to $50. 1t
seems that Eddie's stick had a
curve in it and he couldn't swat
the ball on the trade mark like he
used to. McKune has taken a
small drop, too. Suess didn't help
himself much, but he has moved up
ahead of Swain.
