GOVERNMENT MAY
PROSECUTE THE
AMERICAN ICE co.

Washington, ID. c.. July 20.--There is
strong probability that the federal
government will proceed against the
American Ice company under the Sher-
man Antitrust law If an investigation
which Is understood to have been start
ed several days ago results in develop
ing the evidence needed on which 10
base a petition TO the United States
courts for relief.
II is known the government Is look
ing into the numerous complaints
which have been made OF the troltrary
increase in the price OF ice in cozen
different cities. 1t is contended that
the American ice company is as much
trust within the meaning OF the anti
trust law as any OF the combinations
against which the attorney general has
ordered proceedings which nave re-
resulted in victories for the govern
ment
OF Columbia has been investigating
the workings OF the company IN con-
junction with other dealers, all Of
whom are understood to have been in
numerous complaints OF increases In
the price OF ice Thus far the govern
ment has not succeeded In making a
trust in Washington are concerned.
An increase in the price OF Ice to
dealers OF five cents a hundred pounds
was scheduled by the American Ice
! company for yesterday, but the new
scale did not go into effect. IL is soid,
however, the increase will be made
soon.
There is little doubt that II the gov
ernment can obtain the evidence IL
needs proceedings will be taken against
| the trust. The government is slightly
| handicapped by the fact that Just now
! all it's resources are being called into
! play by the crusade against the stand
ard OIL company and various other
! trusts marked for prosecution. THESE
prosecutions have been piling up until
| the department OF justice is swanped
| with business and various officials are
! beginning to doubt whether they will
be able to take their regular GUNNER
vacations.
IL the Ice trust proceeding Is under
| taken all other matter will have To be
| held In allegiance until autumn, bsecuse
that will me matter which VIII not
permit OF delay IL relief is to be given
! to the public under federal law.

lIBELlED FOR DAMAGE
DONE The RHODE ISLAND

Norfolk, Va. July 2o-As the result Of
damages inflicted in her collision with
the battleship Rhode Island of Newport
News in a storm last Tuesday night the
Norwegian steamship Guernsey was yes
terday afternoon libelled by the govern
ment in the United States court at Nor
folk I'm the sum OF S5347. Asst Dist. Atty.
Robert n. Talley boarded the Rhode ISL
and yesterday and obtained from the OFF,
GERS full information concerning the coll
lision and the extent OF the damage sus-
tained by the battleship as a result of IL.
Three-inch guns, one gun mount and
awning stanchions were damaged and the
battleship was badly SCARED. The hull
of the vessel was not injured There were
numerous tugs in the vicinity when the
Guernsey commenced TO drag anchor, and
the assistant district-attorney charges
that any one OF them could have kept
the steamship out OF danger had she
called for assistance. He also charged
that the steamship was anchored too near
the battleship-between 200 and 300 yards
distant.

INSURANCE COS.
SUSPECTED Of
PETTY TRICK

Albany, July 20.-The gigantic task OF
copying the 100000 names and addresses
OF the policyholders OF the New York
Life and Mutual Life Insurance compan-
les by the international pollcyholders'
committee had hardly begun yesterday
morning before those In charge became
convinced that the companies had delib-
erately undertaken 10 prevent the COM
mtttee from communicating with the pol
icyholders.
Shortly after 10 a. m. about 200 men and
women began the work OF copying by
hand the names on the lists filed with
superintendent Kelsey. They had not pro-
ceeded far before there was a general
complaint OF misspelling in the lists fur
nished and the absence OF street addresses
In large cities. Some portions of the lists
were readable only with the aid OF a mag
nifying glass. Those who are acquainted
with the different states said that town
after town was spelled incorrectly. and
the conviction grew that the blunders
were intentional.
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
policyholders' committee, made a protest
against the lists filed, declaring that they
do not comply with the law, and are "a
wilful evasion intended to disfranchise a
large proportion OF the policyholders'
Because OF the abseice OF the street ad-
dresses OF policyholders living in large
cities. Mr.. Untermyer said "our circulars
and the voting ballots required 10 be
mailed TO policyholders will never reach
them. and the entire scheme of the law
will be paralyzed IL this latest and most
dangerous piece OF chicanery can succeed
II is the most serious part of an organ
lied scheme TO hll the operation Of the
law. with which we have been confronted

superintendent Kelsey said he had not
had time TO examine the lists TO see Il
the complaint was justified. He added

wink and nod and claim support from
ecclesiastical authority be silenced or
driven out of politics; that political bat
ties be made on political lines. and
that the men who have revived the
old system of warfare be relegated TO
private life where they belong.
Utah has had enough. more than
enough, of the Indian style of political
campaign. It's people are anxious to
see the end of ambushes and secret
surprises. They want the everlasting
agitation and disturbance ended. just
one way is open to settle the whole
controversy which has resulted from
the domination of the SmoOt machine.
That way is to elect a Democratic
ticket from top to bottom and start
over again with a clean slate Of clean
men pledged to the observance of
clean methods in politics. The fight
has started on that basis and will be
won by the Democracy of Utah.

close to Broadway and in a week when

ROOSEVELT REFORMS SPELLING

President Roosevelt finding time
hanging heavily on his hands. has
issued an order to the effect that
hereafter all official documents from
the White House, including presidential
messages, shall be printed in accord
ance with the Carnegie reform spelling
method. All the Roosevelt sycophants
will, of course. Immediately fall into
line. So the Carnegie method has re-
ceived the greatest lift in all its his
tory. Before long we may expect orders
from the cabinet officers directing
their subordinates to adopt the Carne-
gle method i'm their reports and with
in a year or two we may all be forced
to It.
1t is going to be hard for a lot of
US for a while, too. A man can't write
tho and thoz and biznes and words like
that without studying some. And it is
going TO be just about as hard on the
reader as on the writer But what a
Joy the system will be for the fellows
who never could spell anyway. They
viii now simply write down the word
as it sounds to them and leave il to
the unfortunate reader to puzzle it out.
