ICE DEALERS SENT TO JAIL
THREE PROMINENT TOLEDO MEN
GIVEN SIX MONTHS.
Were Convicted Of Conspiracy In Re-
straint of Trade-Attorneys Plead
for Leniency.

Toledo, O., Feb. 5.-ROland Beard
and compton Leaman of the Hygetia
Ice Company and Joseph Miller, man
ager of the Toledo Ice and Coal Com
pany, were Tuesday sentenced to six
months in the county Jail and to pay
costs of prosecution by Judge Kinkade
for conspiracy in restraint of trade.
These men were found guilty last
July and at that time Judge Kinkade
sentenced each Of them to six months
in the workhouse and to pay $1,000
fine. The case was appealed and a
few days ago the supreme court
handed down decision declaring the
convicted men could be sent to jail,
but not to the workhouse. They were
remanded to the common pleas court
for resentence and while the fine was
not assessed the werkhouse sentence
was changed to the county Jail
No further effort will be made in be,
half Of the defendants. They at once
began their term Of sentence. All the
men are of prominent Toledo famil.
lies.
AS the three icemen were about to
leave the courtroom to begin their Jail
sentence arrangements were made
whereby they would begin their term
Of imprisonment at four o'clock in the
afternoon. This concession was made
by the court that the convicted men
might arrange business and family at,
fairs while behind bars. The jattor-
neys for the defendants made no eff
fort to delay sentence by impssing
dilatory motions. They simply pleaded
for leniency for their clients and
pointed out that whatever wrong had
been done was in the past, and that
the price of ice had been reduced to
the point where the companies are
losing money. 1t was further argued
that the men had already suffered suf-
ficiently for whatever wrongs they had
committed. The courtroom was
crowded with spectators during the
arguments and the sentence of Judge
Kinkade, but the defendants were pre-
pared to receive the maximum. The
sentence is the minimum that could
be imposed under the law. None Of
the defendants are wealthy. In the
numerous trust prosecutions here in
Ohio 1t is the first instance where
ent to prison. t ii W idecyrmm
convicted men ever went to prison.

SCHOOL NOTES.


We wish to express our thanks for
the liberal response to the request for
old magazines. We have received a
valuable lot of material, and are or
ganizing it for use throughout the
schools. There are still many copies
of different magazines that we need
however, so that contributions will still
be very gladly received.
Word has come that the pictures due
us from the picture exhibit are at last
on the way, and we hope to show
our friends beautiful set of school
room pictures before long. Our share
from the exhibit was enough to secure
thirty-eight pictures, which will be d.
vided as follows: two for each grade
room, seven for the high school,
and the rest for the halls of the cen
Jral building.
The schools have received six fine
views for hall decoration from differ
ent, railroads during the past month.
w. G. Brown kindly sent two splendid
views taken along the line of the New
York Central railway.
The month of January caused poorer
attendance records than for several
months on account of sickness. Miss
Fessenden, Miss Magill and Miss Liv
ingood report perfect records in punct.
uality. Miss Magill's pupils are to be
congratulated on making the best rec.
ord for the month in attendance and
punctuality, although Miss Fessenden'.
pupils were a close second, Miss
Moore's room had the best record in
the First Ward.
The boys basket ball team went to
Decorah last Friday to play the boys
team in the DEBORAH high school. The
boys from DEBORAH got to going first
and the first half ended 18 to II in
their favor. A little heart to heart talk
seemingly made our boys g the error
of their ways for they decidedly out
played their opponents during the sec.
ond half, the score for the half be.
ing II to in their favor. The
game ended with the score apparently
% to 81 in favor of DEBORAH, but the
rules provide plainly that we should
have had at least two points more
counted tieing the score. A close in
depreciation of the rules would give
our boys the victory by score OF "a t.
70. The DEBORAH people gave oul
boys the best of treatment, and We
hope to give them the same when they
play the return game in three weeks.
4 The grades and high school are busy
preparing programs for the Washing
TOMS birthday exercises. Literary
work by the societies also is gein.
along we'll. Next Friday is ORATOR
day for the seniors.
We are pleased to welcome back into
the high school, John Nash, Mary Lee
and Agnes Moen, who have re.entered
school since the holidays.
