NO ICE INDICTMENTS.
august Grand jury Fails to Make
EUen q Presentment.

After an investigation into the ice situation. oc-
cupying nearly three weeks. the August grand jury
finished its work yesterday and was discharGed,
without bringing in either indictment or present.
rnent against the ice companies investigated
Judge Rosalsky. who sat in Part /, General Ses-
sions who had early in the month addressed the
jurymen as to their rights and duty, was obviously
disappointed at the failure of the Jury 70 take
action against the companies suspected of a con-
spiracy to raise the price of ice. 1t was under
stood that Judge Rosalsky favored the bringing of
indictments and instructed the grand fury that it
could indict on circumstantial or inferental
evidence. The jury reported yesterday. however.
that It could not find evidence 70 warrant action.
There was present in court. when the grand jury
appeared an unusually large number of persons,
anticipating, probably. sensational ending Of
the jury's ice investigation. Judge Rosalsky ad-
dressed Bernard Karsch. foreman OF the jury. as
follows:
Mr.. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury
You were Instructed at the opening Of the term by
me on the law OF conspiracy as IL affected certain
in raising the price of a commodity. which. under
certain conditions in this city IS necessity OF nr @
powers in the premises. Now has the grand jury
taken any action relative TO this matterF
In reply Mr. Karsch said that he had report
which he would read of the investigation and work
of the grand jury. He then read the following:

The fury does not find in this testimony evidence
Iuarrantlng any further action on its part.
Judge Rosalsky then asked
"Was there sufficient evidence submitted to
the grand Jury TO warrant the finding OF an in
dictment?"
The foreman replied IN the negative
Thereupon the Judge discharged the August
grand fury with the brief words

CURED more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fingers
would then be called into use Where
as it the person drinking holds the
glass between the thumb and the first
two fingers he not only relieves the
tension on the muscles of the two
other fingers, but also in a way he
pivots the glass and makes it easier
to tip on that account Thus the sep
aration of the, two fingers from the
glass is a perfectly natural act.
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
of curves of greater grace and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails.
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas
ure, but his point is that in it's original
inception and in the practice by the
many the elevation of these two fin
gers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic.

MANNER OF HOLDING CLASS

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded as
an effectation of gentility, as found in
the manner of holding drinking glass
when drinking from it, is not an af-
fectation at all, but really an uncon-
sclous, automatic act.
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fingers
OF the hand clear Of the glass when it
is lifted and tipped forward with it's
brim to the lips and while the glass
is held there in the act of drinking.
No doubt it would commonly be con-
sldered that people do this for the
sake of greater elegance, or at least
from an instructive desire to give to
the hand such an appearance which it
would not possess if they closed the
entire hand around the glass-if they
clutched it, so to speak, manner of
holding that would seem to SAVIOR of
rudeness.
But this observer says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. If,
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
'ly around it he would find that the
act Of tipping the glass SO held re-

walked out, dazed and perspiring. A

The boy took the witness stand, and
testified that on the day OF the theft
he and some other boys went to Cape
Elizabeth about o'clock and did not
return until about 8 o'clock that night.
His testimony was corroborated by
the other boys and by his father.
Mr.. Reed said he had made many
arguments in court, but believed he
had never beaten the one he made
then, for he believed in the innocence
of the boy, and put his whole soul into
it. The prosecuting officer made no
argument, and the judge discharged
the boy, who at once left the room

OLD EGyPTS GOLD MINES

Prof. r. D. George of the University
of Colorado suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part of their
gold from the old workings near Cop
tos, latitude 26 degrees north, and
from the mountains some distance to
the south. The mountains to the south
of Coptos are probably the mines for
which the kings of the twelfth dynasty
sacrificed the lives OF many thousand
men; for the rule of Egyptian kings
who wanted gold was to invade Nubia
and take possession of the mines, just
as when they wanted copper they
drove back the nomadic tribes of ST.
mai and built fortresses to protect their
miners. The Nubian gold workings of
which Prof. George speaks are placed
in an almost inaccessible mountain
group surrounded on all sides by
waterless desert. Here may be seen
tunnels and shafts penetrating the
mountains to almost unknown depths.

AND THEN scRIvNER TH0ucHT

Scrlvner is a man of great energy
and dispatch, whose hours are so filled
with activities that he has formed a
habit OF quick and sometimes inju-
dicious speed. Not for many years
has he had time to think twice before
speaking, and however generous his
impulses and correct his life, he does
now and then fume and splurge into
vexatious predicaments. 1t was Just
in this fashion and meaning no harm
at all that he encountered a situation
last week that we'll nigh undid him for
a time.
Scrivner rushed into a telephone
booth at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and
gave the number of friends tele-
phone up town. 1t was a matter of
business as well as friendship, and
Scrivner had only ten minues before
ne must rush away to an appointment
In, Fortyasecond street. The conversa-
ton at his end of the wire went like
this:
Hello, Bill. That your he said in
his loud and tumbling speech. "That's
good. You see, told you-Hello! Hell

IN on us. l was saying that-Hello!
What the -? Who's this, anyhow =?
No, I'm not Robert, and don't want
you. Get off the wire, will you? Say,
operator!"
Scrivner opened the door of the
booth, leaned out and called to the
girl to take that fellow off his wire.
Then he went at it again, but found

A number of years ago the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed told one of his early
law cases.
A neighbours boy was arrested for
stealing a tray of gold watches, and in
court pleaded not guilty. The only
witness for the prosecution was the
jeweler who lost the watches. His
story was that on the afternoon on
which the watches were stolen he was
fixing up his show window and had
removed from it the goods, the tray
Of watches among them, to the coun-
ter near the door. While doing this
and busting out the window, he testi-
fled, the boy stood on the sidewalk
watching him through the window. AS
it was dusk, he went into rear room
for match, and when he came back
the boy and about dozen gold
watches were gone. He jumped
through the open door, but could see
no one on the street.

She Had Dressed in Haste.

A smartly-frocked young woman
created a small-sized sensation among
diners at a Broadway table d'hote
speciality house the other night be-
cause of her bewitching beauty. Her
visibly proud. but homely escort had
assisted the fair one to divest her fur
coat, and both Immediately engaged in
engrossing conversation 1t was OBJ
served that folks seated at adjoining
tables in the rear focused their gaze
on mi1ady's back.
The X-ray silk waist, which was one
of the extreme peek-a-boo brand, was
intended to be buttoned at the back.
AS result of the evident haste in
dressing, the garment was only fast
ened at the collar and waist line, re-
vealing a broad expanse of flesh tint.
