TWO OF THE TRIO PERSONAL

WILL ACCEPT THE DECISION AS
FINAL.

TOLEDO, o., Feb. 4.-(Special) -
Judge X. r. Kincade, In common pleas

Joseph A. Miller. of the Toledo Ice &
Coal Co, the principals in the cele-
brated Toledo lice trust" cases, 10
six months in the county jail each and
to pay the costs OF the case.
Nearly two years ago the icemen
were sentenced by Kincade to six
months in the workhouse and TO pay
fines of $4,000 each. The Ohio su.
preme court last week remanded tho
cases back for resentence. IL was
ruled that the court had no power to
place them in "the works" the infer
ence being that the county jail was
the proper place.
"Ice trust" lawyers made a plea for
the mercy of the court; but Judge Kin
cade said the people had TO be pro-
tected against combines and the men
must serve their sentences.
The icemen will accept the SEN
fences as final and Immediately start
serving them. The convicted men are
among Toledos most prominent bust.
ness men. and the affair has created Il
decided sensation. Two OF the con
victed men were close personal friends
of Judge kincade.

Find Pretty Baby
Boy on Doorsfep
lind vii Keep Him

There Is new baby In the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Sullivan, No. 419
Ashsst., and although the little strang-
CIR was not left by the stork, he Is
none the less welcome, and is already
a member of the family.
Last Thursday night. while the
members OF the family were retiring.
a knock was heard at the front door.
Miss Molly, aged 16, was the only
one OF the family ready TO receive
company, and she opened the door,
but there was no one there. She spied
a large basket on the step, which she
carried into the house. Gingerly she
lifted the corner or the cloth with
which the basket was covered, and
then almost tainted. Lying In the
basket was the cuteSt and chubbiest
little baby boy she had ever seen.
Grace. aged Is, was the first to answer
Mollie's call. and the two girls had
made up their minds 10 keep the baby
almost before their parents had seen
the youngster. In the basket was a
note, written In fem mime hand. ex-
planning that the babe was three
weeks old and his name was Joseph.
The note was unsigned. and there was
nothing to trace the parentage OF the
child. Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan have de-
cided to keep the child, and have re-
named him Vincent.
