JUDGE INSTRUCTS
JURY TO PROBE
INTO ICE TRUST
Reference to Conspiracy
Among New York
Dealers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Judge Otto
Rosalsky in the court of general ses-
sions. today instructed the August grand
jury 10 investigate the alleged ice trust,
and 90 return indictments IN case there
is evidence OF conspiracy on the part
OF the ice barOns, 10 explain the In
crease In the price of ice.
The Instructions were offered at q
time when New York IS suffering from
.he worst hot spell OF the season and
when the greatest suffering has resulted
among the poorer classes because the
high price OF ice makes IL an almost
prohibitive luxury among the tenement
dwellers.
Il deem ii my duty 10 call your at
teution 10 a subject which is now in
the public mind. and which has been
discussed by the board Of aldermen in
a resolution demanding an Investigation
10 determine whether q criminal con-
spiracy exists among those supplying
commodity which. particularly at this
heated time, is a prime necessity and
Indispensable TO health and comfort of
the people conspiracy may exist TO
increase the price or n commodity, limit
the supply or commit an act injurious
10 health. trade OF commerce.
Fits Poor the Hardest.
In this case, If the conspiracy exists
1t strikes most forcibly at the weak,
ailing. sick, and very young. and moct
deeply affects that portion OF the popu-
latiOn which has the smallest income
and therefore requires prompt and Wig
Or0Us attention
If YOU find on such investigation that
the acts complained of have been COM
United, then il is your duty TO find in
dictments against those responsible for
such actions. Our law provides that IL
two or more persons conspire to COM
nit any act injurious 20 public health
or to trade each of such persons Is
guilty Of misdemeanOr. While ii is
true that any person. CO-partnership, or
corporation is entitled 10 all the ad-
Vantages which can be secured from
fair competition, nevertheless any per
son, officer, or agent may become Grim
inaIly responsible If he cOnspires to do
any act in restraint of trade or COM
merCe.
"C0nspII acies, from their very nature.
as has been said, are usually secret
and, therefore, difficult 10 prove by di-
rect testimony which render IT neces-
sary and proper TO permit them to be
inferred from circumstances"

DalrympIe on Street Railways.

In America they have the univer.
sal scent fare, with transfers, and
think that is as low as they can
go. 1t is about " d in English
money. They could not work at a
lower fare than that. l consider that
scent fare with transfers carry
ing passengers the long distances
they travel in America has very much
the same result to the company as a
graded fare without transfers here.
OF course we do not want transfers
here, and l do not believe there is q
street railway man in America who
would not do away with transfers II
he could, and lower the grade of his
fares. The objection to this public
course is that American citizens are
accustomed to pay the nickle and
nothing else, travelling any distance
they like; so that ! do not think 1t
would be popular to attempt to intro
duse the graded-fare system. OF
course, there are many advantages in
the low fares for long distances.
The working cost of American
systems is pretty high, considerably
over 90 per cent of the revenue.
This is accounted for by the higher
wages that are paid. although in my
opinion they are not higher than
they ought to be, considering all the
circumstances. Wages are about
right there. AS to cost of constuc-
tion, / got some figures in New York,
where they are extending their con-
dult system. This system costs $9O.-
600 per single mile OF track, as
against $4,000 for the overhead.
That is the sort of proportion be-
tween the two system, say $4,000
against $1,000. The relative cost of
working with the conduit is greater
than with the overhead and there Is
no doubt 1t is much more expensive
In the winter time because II is then
much more troublesome.-James
Dalrymple In Third Rail.

MUTUAL
CANNERY
EXPANDS
Two Additional Wings Being
Erected to the Fruit
+. Packing Plant

When the season for canning
pears began, a week ago, business at
the Salem Mutual Cannery assumed
such immense proportions that it
was at once necessary to enlarge the
plant. A few days ago workmen
were hurriedly got together and a
shed for storing fruit 40 by 80 feet
was erected. This proved made
quate, and 20 men are working to-
day on another shed so by IS feet
in size. In the meantime pears are
packed all over the place, and the
management is working as many
people as can find room to move
about in the cannery.
Pears are coming in rapidly, the
warm weather causing them to ripen
very fast, and after as many are
canned here as the capacity of the
plant will admit, the remainder are
shipped to the Portland factory.

Don't Monkey with the Flag.

Celebrating the admission OF his
territory into the Union as a state,
Governor William NJ. Jennings, OF

improving on the appearance OF the
American flag. He wants to bunch
all the states in the shape OF a big
star.
Don't monkey with the flag" an
swered Governor Chamberlain, when
the Oklahoma man wrote to him
for advice on the subject.
The governor was not repeating a
line from Barbara Freichie," but
was handing out HIS own opinion
that the flag is good enough.

Many of the farmers are selling their
