ICE TRUST CHECKS.

So far as the New York's public ex-
perience goes, District Attorney Jerome
has been unable 10 detect any signs OF
a breach OF the law by the ice trust in
restricting the output I'm restraint OF
trade. Everybody knows, according TO
the district attorneys office. that the
high price OF ice was forced bJ nature,
which is beyond his control. 1t was the
mild winter which caused short crop.
And. OF course when we have short
crop. and an extremely warm summer
following, the mild winter, not the trust.
put up the price OF fee.
But the bureau of Industrial statistics
of Rhode Island has discovered some
facts which do not appear to bear out
the supposed theories of Mr.. Jerome The
Rhode Island officials find that there has
been a short crop, no matter what the
weather, ever since there was an fee
trust. The average Maine cut used TO
be (before 1900 more than 100000 tons.
But since the trust got control Of The
industry IL has held down the cuts to
an average Of less than 10000 tons. IL
shortens the crop SO ds 10 lengther the
price.
The Rhode Island report says that had
all the ice houses in Maine been filed,
and they might have been, more than
100000 tons OF ice could have been
housed I'm that state. The Ice trust con-
trolls these houses. II there were a mild
winter. causing shortage I'm other
states. the ice lrust could not help know
Ing how this could be used &C. lift the
market. But IL did not cut what ice
could have been gathered I'm Maine
where there was plenty to fill the houses
II did not cut. within hundreds of
thousands OF tons. what was available.
Il did not do this because this would
have given fun supply. There Is more

CAP OR HELMET?

a helmet does"
Such is a portion OF former ''Best Chez
Devery's argument against Acting Com
missioner Waldo's proposed winter change
in headgear for New York's police. The
rank and file OF the force look at the mat
ter with Mr.. Devery's eyes.
II is pleaded for the helmet that

Deputy waldo's idea of the cap has
developed since his return from his for-|
eign visit. Presumably he was impressed
by tho op- pieces OF the Continental
police. Those natty gentlemen. he might
remember. derive their uniforms from
their semi military connection. while the
men who patrol New York are I'm mol

PULLS AND THE POLICE.

Citizens OF Providence, particularly those OF
the Third ward, are gratifed to learn that Chair
man Luther of the Police Commission is engaged
in investigating the transfer OF Patrolman Gen
from the Second to the Fifth police district There
is general belief that politics and the personal
prejudice of politician responsible for the
patromans transfer, and it is the feeling that if
Commissioner Luther finds such TO be the case he
will not be slow in furnishing those officers in the
police department who permitted political pull 20
induce them TO recommend the transfer of a sub
ordinate from one district to another
The report in the newspapers stated that
Patrolman Gillen had been sent from the Second
to the Fifth at hs own request" On its face there
was nothing in such report to arouse suspicion
that the transfer had not been made regularly and
in accordance with the wishes of the patrolman
concerned
When, however the officer declared he had not
requested transfer to the Fifth district: that he
protested against being moved from the Second
district and charged that politics were responsible
for the change, it became evident there was some
thing wrong somewhere and created the suspicion
that some one officers in the police depart
ment had lent themselves to a contemplate
scheme of some politician with a pull to obtain
revenge for fancied grievances
That sort of thing should not be permitted to
pass without the most thorough and searching in
vestigaon. If public suspicion is not we'll founded
that fact should be established beyond question
SO that officers of the police department may not
rest longer under an unjust imputaton.
On the other hand, should it be found that
there is valid ground for this suspicion, the mem
bers OF the department who are shown to have con-
nived at the transfer of subordinate should be
given severe and salutary punishment and the poll
tician, whoever he may be, who made use of pull |
with officers OF the police department to punish
patrolman in that department for political or per-
sona hostility ought to be exposed, so that the
decent citizenship may deal with him as he ought
to be dealt with, should he seek their support for
public Office.
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-08-25

Nothing can so quickly and so thoroughly de-
moralize the police department and render it inef-
cient and ineffective than the exercise OF political
influence over it, If ward politicians or their heel
ers make allies Of some members of the depart
ment and use them to browbeat and buldoze Or
punish other members OF it, discipline will take
flight and efficiency will be utterly lost
No doubt Chairman Luther realizes this as
fully as does any citizen of Providence He has
shown commendable desire to place the depart
ment beyond the reach of political influences. to
safeguard it against political pulls, and the public
generally endorses him for his efforts in that direc
ton.
1t is with confidence, then, the public looks
to him to discover whether it is possible for anv
political fuger, angry over the course of a memI
Der OF the police department, to boast that he will
have that megber sent to "wade waist deep in
snow in the gas house district next winter" and
then to have that boast made good.

DEATH OF MRS. n. c. ROBINSON.
She Was Beloved % Wife and Mother.
Neighber and Friend.

The people Of this city were sur
prised and grieved beyond measure
yesterdaymorning by the announce
ment OF the death of Mrs. Amelia
b. Robinson, wife of Mr.. II. c.
Robinson, at the family home al
7:Is O'Clock. While Mrs. Robin
son had been in failing health for
the past two years, and i'll for the
past two weeks, she was sufficient
ly improved to be out Saturday,
and although she again took a
change for the worse on Sunday,
the gravity of her condition was
not realized by the family and
friends until shortly before her
death. II was then with that
deepest and most poignant sorrow,
untempered by premonitions, that
the blow fell upon devoted hearts,
and the announcement passed from
lip to lip in the sorrowing com.
munity.
Mrs. Robinson was formerly Miss
Amelia b. Oswald, was born i'll
Waller county and came with her
fathers family to Bryan in early
childhood. She was reared in Bryan
and has continuously made her home
here, and among her most devoted
friends were those of a life time.
Her age was 4s years, I months
and 4 days. She was married to
Mr.. II. {. Robinson in this city
May 4, 1881, and her husband and
three children, all grown, survive
her, II. c. Robinson, Jr., Mrs.
Fred Simonds OF Austin and Miss
Alma Robinson.
Mrs. Robinson was a member OF
the Presbyterian church and a de.
vout christian. She was devoted
to her home and family and found
within,its charmed circles her great
est happiness. In return for her
devotion to loved ones she was
held by them in tenderest affection.
She was also honored and beloved
by her neighbors whose words OF
praise, coming sincerely from the
heart after long association, are
among the sweetest tributes to her
memory. The sympathy of the
community goes out to the sorrow
ing family in this dark hour.
The funeral service will be held
at the family residence this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.
