AMERICAN COMPANY CONVICTED OF RESTRICTING COMPETITION
 AND CREATING A MONOPOLY.
GOT OFF WITH A FINE OF $5,0dG
The Conviction Was the First Undei New State Law in New York; Case to be Carried up to Highest Court for Decision.

New York, Dec. 12.-The American Ice company, one of the great corpora. tions which lives by dealing in tho necessities of life, was found guilty in the state supreme court of restricting competition in and attempting to create monopoly of the sale of ice. The jury was out one hour and 40 min. utes, and when the foreman an. nounced the verdict the court i'm. mediately imposed the maximum sen. tence of s5,o0O fine, under the pro visions of the so called Donnelly anti. monopoly law of this state.
 The conviction is the first under the new law and probably will be fought to the highest court in the state. The significance of the verulct lies not so much in the relatively trivial amount of the fine imposed as in the intima. tion made by John B. Stanchfield, counsel for the defense, that a find, ing against the company, which he said supplies S,O00,00O customers would mark the first step in its ulti mate dissolution.
 The American Ice company, though tried under the laws of New York, was Incorporated under the laws of New Jersey for s40,O0O.0O0 and later taken over by the American Ice Securities company of the same state, after a drastic reorganization.
 The company has plants in New York, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and has absorbed many smaller companies along the Hudson river and in the Maine ice fields. Be fore Wesley N. Oler was elected presi- dent of the company. Charles w. Morse, the convicted banker, was ac- tive in it's affairs.

zELAYA READY ID G0
PRESIDENT OF NICARAGUA PROM IsEs TO MAKE PUBLIC HIS
 RESIGNATION.
REBELLION AT THE CAPITAL
Streets of Nicaragua Filled With Un. restrained Mob of Demonstrators shouting for the United States and Estrada-Governmen PowerIess.

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 15.-Re- bellion has broken out at the capital. The streets are filled with unre- strained demonstrators. Shouts of Long live Liberty, the United States and Estrada" fill the air. The police have made no move to check the mob. It is said that President zelaya has promised to make public the announce ment of his resignation from the presi- dency at once.
 The demonstration began last night and continued for hours. The anti Zelaya feeling was so strong that the government did not dare to attempt it's suppression.
 The climax was reached last night when the government attempted to put through congress a bill conceding to certain exploiters mining rights cov- ering vast undefined areas irrespec- tive of the private ownership of the surface of the property. Congressman Enrique Corda opposed the measure in a speech that aroused the widest en- thusiasm.
 The government precipitately ad- journed the session and when Corda left the building he was given an ova- tion. The crowd followed to his hotel and alternately cheered Corda and cried Long live libertyl" Down with oppression!" Then the crowd moved to the home of Henry Caldera. the United States vice-counsul. Here they cried: Live Estrada" Long live the revolution" Hive the United States" Still the police did not in- terfere, and the tramping and shout ing went on until the manifestants had tired themselves out.
 Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 15.-An official telegram received at the in- surgent headquarters here announces that General Morales, at the head of band of insurgents, has captured Tortuga, Qrisi and Supoa, three small towns on the Costa Rican frontier.
 Morales proclaimed Estrada presi- dent of Nicaragua and continued his march to attack the important town of Rivas. General Estrada and his followers have taken courage at the prospect of assistance from the United States in their efforts to overthrow the government of Nicaragua.

ENGLISH Women Are Taller.

That American women ere consid
erably shorter than their English sis
ters WAS the dictum laid down by a
ladies' tailor in lawsuit in London in
which Sydney Lyons sued a Canadian
dressmaker for gowns he had supplied
The Canadian coptended that the
dresses were not "of American size"
Some exports called to give testimony
declared that models for gowns for
English French and Americ-E women
are the same, but Dressmaker Mckay
Of Toronto averred: The English
stock size would not fit anyone in
America. They might f1t girafIes. but
not the women of Hamilton, Ontario
The length from the neck TO waist of
the American MODEL is 141S inches and
Of the English Il inches. The Ameri
can shoulder seam is six i1ches and
the English ia inches" Unimpressed
by these measurements the court gave
judgment for the English dressmaker.
