ICE TRUST AN p
ILLEGAL COMBINE
SHIELDS HOLDS THAT
COMPANY VIOLATES LAW.
Charter Forfeited and stock Ordered
Distributed Among Seven Con-
stituent Companies.
AN APPEAL is PROBABLE

st. LOUIS, Nov. &c. w. White
law, president of the Polar Wave Ice
and Fue. company, which was de-
clared combination I'm restraint of
trade, IN violation of the state anti
trust law, by decision handed down
by Judge George II. Shields in the
lcircuit court, refused to make any
Statement. or say whether the cor
poratlon would appeal the case to the
supreme court. Daniel n. Kirby, one
of the firms attorneys, stated he pre-
sumed an appeal would be taken, but
could not say definitely.
II Judge Shields decision is sus-
tanned by the supreme court, the
Polar Wave company's charter will
be forfeited and It will be ordered to
distribute its stock among the seven
companies, from a merger Of which
IL was created, according 10 the origi-
nal holdings of these companies.
The court found that Immediately
after the consolidation of the COM
Ipeting companies. the price of ice ad-
vanced from 35 to so cents per 100
pounds.
The Polar Wave corporation was
organized February 10, 1908, through
Ia merge: OF the following original
companies: American Ice and Fuel
company, Muckerman Ice and Coal
company, Union Ice company, Creye
Occur Lake Ice and Transportation
company, Huse-Loomis Ice and Trans
portation company. Huse-Goodell Ice
company and Hygeia Ice company. It
has a capital stock of sl.S0O,000 It's
officers are: c. W. Whitelaw, presi-
dent; John c. Muckermann, vice.
presiden'. I. c. Muckermann, treas
urer and general manager, and II. E.
Penniing, secretary.
Referees Finding Overruled.
Judge Shields decision overrules
the finding of Clifford b. Allen, be-
fore whom the case was tried on its
merits, as referee Arthur n. Sager,
former circuit attorney, took exeep-
ton TO the ruling OF the referee, and
asked Judge Shields to review the
testimony. Judge Shields has held
the case under advisement for more
than a year. The case was prosecuted
by LOOMS Johnson, fourth assistant
circuit attorney.
In his opinion Judge Shields crlti-
clses the ruling of the referee, say
ing: The conclusions of the referee
ignore entirely the proposition that
no competition ever existed between
the constituent companies. The lack
OF competition resulted from a COM
munity of interests and parceling out
Of the territory of the city by the re-
tail companies in the ice trade. Then
the fact that there was no competi-
ton could not De used as an excuse
for the continuation OF the Illegal
by the new corporation.
Judge Shields reference to the
Standard OIL decision by the United
States clrcuit judges in his opinion
shows that the effect OF the latter Is
already being felt in the state tribu-
nails.

Extracts From Decision.

Judge Shields decision in part IS:
am OF the opinion that the COM
munity of interests which is shown
by the evidence to exist between the
stockholders of the three wholesale
companies and the family relation
ship between the officers and stock
holders Of the four retail companies
ARE facts to be taken into considera-
ton in determining whether or not
the respondent was organized as a
corporation to perpetuate an illegal
combination existing between some OF
the corporations which were de-
stroyed by the transfer of the assets
to the respondent company.
The whole report of the referee
seems to be based on the idea that
IL was necessary to show an unlawful
combination existing between the
three wholesale and four retail COM
.panies. am not of that opinion. 1t
makes no difference whether an UNI
lawful combination existed at that
time.
| am satisfied there was an unlaw-
full combination between the four re-
tail companies: that the lack of COM
petition between them and the whole
sale companies was the result of a
community of interests and manage
ment, and that the reason there was
no competition was because they had
stifled competition between them by
their understandings and agreements,

LOUISVILLE ALARMED
BY COAL FAMINE AND
OHIO RIVER is FROZEN

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 30.-Fast in the
grasp of the coolest weather In years,
Louisville with several million bushels
of Pittsburg coal almost at its back
door. today faced a threatened coal
shortage
The Ohio river, which has for two
weeks been unnavigable because of
floating ice, was today frozen almost
from shore to shore for the first time
in many years, and this condition,
according to river men, precludes the
possibility OF bringing any coal down
the river for a week at least.
The minimum temperature in Louis
vile during the night was 1 degree
above zero. The cold wave which has
set the south shivering, seems to have
followed almost a straight line from
Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico.
Jacksonville was the coldest place in
Florida today, with a temperature OF
20. Tampa reported 2S, and a killing
frost. New Orleans registered 26, Mo

DIAZ WARNS ZELAYA
TO KEEP AWAY FROM
AMERICAN REPORTERS

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 30.-That Pres
ident Diaz today gave Jose Santos Ze-
laya a little friendly advice in regard
to talking to newspaper representa-
tives and whispered in his ear that it
would be wise to refrain from express
ing his opinions too freely was admitted
by Zelaya's secretary tonight when he
returned a card to a newspaper man
with the remark that the former die
tator of Nicaragua had just adopted
a policy of refusing to be interviewed
and would have nothing more to say
for publication for six days. Why six
days was named he would not explain.
Zelaya called on the chief executive
Of Mexico today. Up to that time he
had received every newspaper man who
had called at the hotel. After the
meeting it was as If wide gulf had
opened between him and the corre-
spondents In refusing to see one re-
porter. Zelaya, through his secretary,
told him that he wished to avoid being
the means of bringing Mexico into the
controversy in any way and that, II
he further discussed matters, his state
ment might be misconstrued with such
q result.
Zelaya's visit to the National Palace
lasted half an hour. He was received
by President Diaz in the green room.
The introduction was made by Lieut..
Col Samuel Garcia Cuellara, an aide
OF President Diaz, and not by the Off
eial introducer Of ambassadors. Hence
the meeting was devoid Of official char
aeter and Zelaya was received as a
private citizen.

COST FOR MAINTAINING
FIRE PROTECTION GREAT
Expense In United States Is $1.o5
Person-ln Berlin, 20
Cents

= WASHINGTON, Dec. 3o.-It costs
each person in the United States only
$1.65 a year to go to bed with a sense
of security born of the knowledge
that If his house starts to burn an
army of firemen will arrive to put out
the fire.
The census bureau announces the
figures as the result of an investiga-
ton of the fire departments and fire
losses of the 1853 largest cities in the
country.
In Berlin it costs only 26 cents
year to sleep easy; in London 19 cents
pays the bill and in Milan II cents.
The United States geological survey
has made some computations to show
this difference is because the building
restrictions in Europe are greater
than in this country; that there are
more fireproof buildings and the cost
of maintaining the fire departments is
not so great.
1t is not because American fire de-
partments are extensively adminis-
tered.
When it comes to conserving the
country's resources, or, better yet, its
assets, the toll of fire tells fearful
lesson. During 1907 the 1853 largest
American cities lost more than $4S,-
900, 900 in their fires, covered by insur-
ance amounting to $42.0O0000.
p 1t costs these cities about $3S, 00O,OO
a year to maintain their paid fire de-
partments.

WHEATLE WINS
BEAUTY PRIZE
JONATHAN CLUB inks END IN
WHIRL
"BABY GRAND" PIANO TROPHY
OF THE WINNER
Annual Season of "Big Doings" in
Local clubdom Is Complete Sue
cess--Circus Makes
Great Hit

With a Whoop and Whirl and del
uge of votes in the beauty contest, the
Jonathan club jinks came to a close
last night. w. j. Wheatley, who Sc
cured 26,400 votes, won first prize a
baby grand" piano about large enough
to fit nicely into dolls house. Others
in order of the number of votes they
received in the contest were: Herman
Hauser, Charles Lehman, Ralph Ham
lin, George Kuhrts and Bernard Potter.
When Ringmaster Cornish announced
the result shortly after II o'clock last
night the audience went wild with en-
thusiasm, cheering till the. Pacific Elec-
trio building fairly rang with the
echoes. Mr.. Wheatley finally took the
stage and made a neat speech, ending
with after this year l am through
with jinks. I'm getting too old and
beautiful"
Scenes in Virgin valley, an alleged
pioneer mining camp of uncertain geog-
raphy, were enacted with all the dash
and go of the wild west as a windup to
the links. At the dinner which pre-
ceded the evenings fun all the ban
queters were dressed in frontier cos
tunes the same as those seen in a
free and easy mining camp.
The circus was one of the big events
of the evening. Under the stage di-
reCtlOn OF FRANK GdSdn TWO SCbIt5
from al Trovatore" were given, as
well as several vaudeville sketches and
musical numbers of the light opera
type. Twelve members of the club
dressed as soubrettes and twelve 9TH
ers dressed as Irregular" actors per-
formed In a highly satisfactory and
professional manner.
From a distance the soubrettes were
so we'll made up that they were easily
mistaken for the real thing. Jimmy"
Clark was voted the most fascinating
bewitching counterfeit of a stage
beauty seen in a long journey. my
Brother Carus," sung by Frank Col
lier, Dana Burks and Richard Phister
in the prison scene from I'll Trova-
tore" and excerpts from "The Love
Tales of Hoffman," by the entire COM
pany, made big hits. The circus was
of the regulation kind, although every
thing was imitation from the fat
woman to the snake charmer.
One of the big events of the even
ing was the auction sale of cartoons
made during the beauty contest.
These pictures sold from 30 cents to
$50, the highest price being paid by
Mr.. Wheatley for cartoon of HIM
self. He said he bought 1t to keep 1t
from falling into the hands of those
who might be jealous.

Eastern Steamship Traffic for 1909
Shows Big influx of Foreigners
to the United States

NEW YORK, Dec. 8O.-Transat-
lantic passenger travel for the year
1909 shows improvement over that
of 1908, but is below that Of 1907
a banner year In steamship business.
A statement issued today shows that
westbound, or incoming, figures have
returned to normal, except in regard
to steerage passengers. In 1908, the
eastbound, or outgoing, passengers
were greatly In excess of the incom-
ing, due to Industrial depressions in
the United States.
