NO DANGER OF FAMINE.
Sufficient Supply of Ice Promised for
Summer

The representatives of the big ice compa-
MES along the wharf front section of the
city do not anticipate any great shortage
Of ice in the local supply, in spite of the
fact that the crops on the Hudson and on
the Maine rivers were practically failure.
They believe that the local ice-making
plants. working full time. can make nearly
enough ice to meet the demand
There viii, however. 1t Is stated be but
few vessels coming to this port this sea-
son with ice aboard, although one cargo
has already arrived here, and the schooner
William p. Hood is under charter to load
a cargo on the Maine coast for this city as
soon as she can reach there.
Should the ice supply In this city become
short il is not thought that there will be
much trouble in obtaining supply to make
good the shortage, as there was an abundant
supply obtained In New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. and there is no tariT on ice
to prevent its importation, and the differ
ence in freight charges between shipments
from Maine and Nova Scotia would be
small. On pinch IL is said that ice could
even be brought from Labrador should ii
be necessary to seek new fields OF supply.

Elderly Man Alleged to Have Vio-
lated Bond.

With two Of his companions under SEN
tence of five years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary at Joliet, III, Robert Smith,
sixty-five years of age, left Chicago about
a month ago and came to this city. He
then proceeded to Alexandria and there Sc
cured employment as marble cutter. He
sent a letter to his daughter in Chicago
telling her of his whereabouts, and saying
he did not know why he had left home;
that his head hurt him and he did not know
of his trip uptil he reached here Smith
was under bond in the sum of 81 800, and
when his bondsman, Henry Mcdonald, re-
ceived the letter that had been sent to the
daughter he came here with Detective
Sergeant Dennis 1ferney to search for the
fugitive. Detectives Flather and Horne
were detailed on the case. and they found
Smith yesterday morning when he came
over from Alexandria to get his mail
Il don't know what made me come
away" the prisoner said, land l was go
ing to return as soon as | had earned a

Smith and two other men were indicted
In Chicago for alleged feloniouS assaults
One of them was tried. convicted and SEN
fenced to five years. The second one en-
tered a plea with the understanding that
he would get more than the one who
was convicted. He received a similar SEN
tence. Smith was to have been tried about
a month ago but he failed to apear in
court to answer the indictment containing
five counts and his bond was forfeited. The
detective and bondsman reached here about
a week ago but 1t was not until yesterday
that Smith was seen.
The prisoner was taken to police head
quarters where he was interviewed by
Capt. Boardman and the two men from
Chicago. He expressed willingness TO re-
turn without the formality of a requisition.

York promoters. No wrestler who ever ap-
peared on canvas in America has ever ac
conlplished anything approaching the Won
derful campaign Of Gotch the mat this
winter. Since November he has wrestled
over fifty matches, all through the middle
west. the east and south and Canada, and
has not lost a bout.
Il am now trying to drag Tom Jenkins
onto the mat with me in some neutral
city," said Gotch after meeting O'Brien
and I think we will find out where the
American title rightfully belongs In that
match, If made. But, in any event. I will
devote no little attention to boxing in my
training work Of the immediate future, and
I think can hold OBrien, even realizing
his wonderful speed in a six-round bout
My one desire is to work up to point
where I challenge Jeffries. with the
public convinced of my sincerity In be-
lievfng l can win from the big fellow. II
I can hold both the wrestling and boxing
championships Of the country I will have
done something beyond the dreams Of ath-
letes Of other days. I think I've got the
chance to do it,
While it is considered likely that O'Brien
and Gotch will meet in Philadelphia, al
ready substantial offers have come for the
bout from Canada and the south.

HEMERY UNDER

Will the French Automobile Club

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 16.-Auguste Hemery.
the French automobile driver who was
placed under suspension for one year for
INSTRUMENTATION at the Ormond-Daytona
Beach speed carnival in January, has been
selected by the Darracq Company as one
Of it's three drivers in the French Grand
Prix race to take place on June % and Y.
Hemery's term of suspension will not ex-
pire until the end OF January next and
there is considerable anxiety In American
Automobile Association circles as to
whether or not the Automobile Club or
France will permit the recalcitrant driver
to take part in the big contest. Should 1t
do SO there will probably be a severance
of relations between the two bodies Either
that or the a. A. A. must face Internal
dissensIon, because the managers of the
Florida East Coast Association one of its
most important affiliations have declared
uuequivocally that Hemery's punishment
must go to the limit set Hemerys offense,
they declare, was aggravated. the more so
because it was totally uncalled for. The
Florida association conducts the Ormond
speed carnival under sanction from the A
A. A, and representatives of the parent
body have supervised the racing during the
past two years.

First Case Of the Kind.

There has been no opportunity to judge
Of the probable attitude of the French rae
ing authorities IN such case as this, for
the reason that Hemery Is the first driver
to place himself under the ban of the
A. A a. The A. a. A. was prepared to up
hold the suspension visited on Hemery for
unbecoming conduct and language In the
last Florida cup event In Italy. Had he
failed of restoration to good standing he
would not have been allowed to compete in
the Vanderbilt cup event. 1t would appear
only consistent, therefore, that the Euro
pean governing bodies should respect the
rulings made on this side.
The rules for the Grand Prix have been
finally made up and all that remains Is to
get governmental permission to use the
Sartho circuit on June % and 81. This
would probably have been arranged but
for the collapse of the Rouvier cabinet
which necessitated taking up negotiations
with the new Sarrien ministry The pre-
vious minister of the interior was in favor
of the race and 1t is expected that no OBJ
stacles will be placed in the way.
