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 Hygeia
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 $4,000
fine. The case was appealed and
few days ago the supreme court
handed down a decision declaring the
convicted men could be sent TO jail,
but not to the workhouse. They were
remanded to the common pleas court
for resertence and while tlie flre was
not assessed the workhouse 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 attor-
neys for the defendants made no eff
fort to delay sentence by imposing
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
convicted men ever went to prison.

TARIFF REVISION
/ IN SHORT SESSION
PRESENT CONGRESS WILL NOT
APPOINT COMMISSION.
SO SAYS CHAIRMAN PAYNE
He and Speaker Cannon Reply to Ad-
dresses by James w. Van cleave
and Other Men Of
Ii Business.

Washington, Feb 5.-The present
congress will not appoint tariff com
mission. Revision of the tariff will
be undertaken next winter in the
short term.
These announcements, in substance,
were made Tuesday by Chairman
Payne of the house committee on
ways and means in the presence and
with the tacit approval of Speaker
Cannon, the occasion being a call
upon those leaders by tariff revision
delegation from various parts of the
country, comprising representatives
of many of the biggest manufacturing
and industrial concerns in the United
States and headed by James w. Van
i Cleaye of st. Louis, president Of the
National Association of Manufacturers;
former Gov. N. j. Bachelor Of New
Hampshire, and H. E. Miles of Ra-
cine, Wis, chairman of the tariff com.
mittee of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
The delegates called at the White
House and paid their respects to the
president. Later they went to the
capitol and were received in the ways
and means room by Speaker Cannon
and Chairman Payne. There they
spent more than an hour, presenting
their case and listening to replies by
the two foremost Republican leaders
in the house, which, while they were
cordially couched. were practically
refusal of all that the delegation had
journeyed to Washington to plead for.
Van cleave Addresses Committee.
In introducing the subject of the
appointment of a tariff commission, in
line with the Beveridge bill recently
offered in the late, Mr. Van Cleave
said the delegation was unanimous in
the belief that "the matter of the
tariff can be best handled by the APP
plication Of q hard.headed business
bill" which would so amend the tariff
schedules as to encourage the develop
ment of foreign commerce by the pro
ducers of the United States without
at the same time exposing their goods
to the reactionary effects of free trade.
He said it was the firm belief of the
vast interests represented by the
members OF the delegation that a
wholesome revision of the tariff could
be best got at by a commission, APP
pointed to ascertain the costs of do
nestle production, the relative profits
deriyable from home and foreign
sales, and all the multitudinous facts
appertaining to so complex and i'm.
po'tant subject. E#
Just What Cannon Believes In.
Speaker Cannon, interrupting one of
the delegation, asked do | under
stand that you favor on the part Of
the United States an even tariff with
every other country in the world, ex-
cept that we shall enforce our maxi
mum tariff against such countries as
discriminate against our exports? That
you favor minimum and maximum
tariff with that application"
The answer was strongly af1rma-
tive.
Then" said the speaker, 81 am
glad to hear your medicine, for that is
precisely the kind of tariff believe

Good Thing.

A good paper is one thing necos-
saly to a good town, and the
good people mustsupport it-must
own it and CT ntrol it.
The Enterprise has pulled Tor
Fitzgerald since the very first days
of the colony. 1t was the first
paper issued here, and since it has
been under the present manage
ment has done more for the town,
so good people say, than anything
or any body.
The present company was not
organized to make money but to
make Fitzgerald grow, but it has
done both and paid back to stock
holders their money in dividends.
1t has prospered every year.
There is one objection, it has
been too much of a one man paper.
We want to change that, enlarge
the paper and put it in it's own
home. We want you in the new
company.
