STOLEN ICE
IS RESTORED
HonorabIes Apologize Tearfully
and Promise to Sin
Mo More.

The internal revenue department had
ice Yesterday, coolies of ice, more ice
than it knew what to do with. The
water cooler was full of ice; there was
ice on the floor, ice standing in blocks
outside the door; borrowed washtub
was full of ice. And still the ice came.
Every honorable legislator who had a
guilty conscience brought ice; the clerk
of the senate brought ice; the janitor
came down with chunk of ice. Peary
and Cook would have felt entirely at
home in Drake s office.
And with the ice came apologies. The
honorable senators did not know until
they saw the article in The Advertiser
yesterday morning that it was the ice
of the United States government that
had been stolen At least, that's what
they said.
And anyway, they explained they
were not the guilty ones. They had
stolen ice. it is true, but not from the
internal revenue department. The ice
they had stolen belonged to the house
of representatives. 1t was the repre-
sentatives, who, missing their own ice,
had made up the deficit by purloinng
the ice of the revenue department
But just the same, there was a str ng
of senators yesterday morning descend
ing the stairs leading to the lower cor
ridor of the capitol, and every senator
held in his half frozen hands a block
of crystal ice. They were taking no
char ees.
Collector of Internal Revenue Walter
F. Drake was inclined to be mereiful.
The honorable senators and the officers
of the senate had committed a grave
crime, but since they had made retribu-
ton and restitution. he would not go
to extremes He would allow them to
90 without punishment on condition
that they would agree to sin no more.
And so the matter stands. The SEN
ators are out on their good behavior.
But they will have to walk the chalk
line during the remainder of the SEES
sion.
The house, having discovered that the
senate was guilty of stealing its ice,
and being itself guilty of having stolen
the ice of the internal revenue depart
ment, is in a dilemma. It does not
know what to do. 1t would like to
take measures to punish the senate, but
al the same time. the members are
afraid of what the federal government
NAV do to them for their part in the
swiping of the government ice. And
there you are.

GETTING AFTER PURE
FOOD LAW VIOLAT0RS
Two Cinnamon First to Fall Into the
Clutches of the Authorities.

CluLCuES Oh LUe s.
What is liable to resolve itself into
general cleanup of violators against
the pure food and drug laws was mi
tiated yesterday in the arrest of Sing
Kee and T. K. Soong, two Cinnamon
who are accused of selling imitation ap-
pie cider, not so labeled, their arrest
being made at the instigation of R. A.
Duncan. official chemist, who has had
his weather eye on offenders in the
cider line for some time.
This brand of thirst-assuager is sold
to the retailer by the manufacturer
labeled correctly; that is, that it is
limitations, but the retailer has up:-
versal habit of palming it off as the real
goods. Hence the retailers who are do
ing it are going to be gently corrected.
In this case, the cider was purchased,
properly labeled, from the Arctic Soda
Works and sold for pure apple cider.
All adulterators of foodstuffs and
drinks are liable to feel the tightening
of official lines if they persist in the
practice of mislabeling. Another In
vestigation, that might materlalize, as
announced some time ago, will be made
into the ice cream manufacture. There
is more humor than anything else IN
this matter. A former appeal to tell
Duncan what ice cream really was, how
ever. resulted in many people COM
municating with him to that effect. Sew
eral manufacturers approached him Sc
riously, requesting information as to
what they must do to comply with the
law

RUMORS OF DEATH
OF COLONEL ROOSEVELT
(By United Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, November "a
wave Of excitement is sweeping the
states on account Of a rumor. the origin
Of which IS at present impossible
to trace. To the effect that Colonel
Roosevelt has met death in the wilds
IF Africa while hunting; tina, he was
killed IN an encounter with large game.
The ex-Presidenr has been beyond COM
muu.eation for over week, as far as
accredited press reports are concerned,

report Of his death, if indeed he has
been killed. could have reached civil
lzarion without the source Of the infor-
nation being identified.
The rum0r IS not credited.

THE HOUSE.

1t had been anticipated that, although
the resolution introduced by Cohen,
protesting against congressional enact
.ment of prohibition law for Hawaii,
would probably be adopted by the
house, there would be vigorous opposi-
ton to it. But no such opposition
developed. Sheldon did arise and make
the simple statement that he was OPP
posed to the measure, because the house
had refused to allow the people to ap-
pear at a public meeting and express
their sentiments, and therefore he woula
vote against the resolution. But that
was all. Nothing else against it was
said on the floor of the house, and
Sheldon and Nakaleka registered the
only negative votes.
There was no opposition whatever in
the senate, the resolution being sent up
from the house yesterday afternoon and
promptly adopted by a unanimous vote.
Cohen's Speech.
Cohen made the most lengthy and
vigorous speech of the session in sup
port of his measure. He said:
'FMr. Speaker When any man or
set of men or any organization goes to
Washington and attempts to have con-
gress legislate for us upon matter
that should be purely local, and when
they go still further and try by such
, legislation to place every citizen of
Hawaii on the plane of an aobrigine
on an Indian reservation, 1t is time
for the people through its represent
atives here assembled to rise as one
man and resent such action as an in
suit TO the honor, integrity and intel
ljgence of Hawaiian manhood. We
are informed that Mr. Woolley is now
IN Washington or on his way to Wash
ington to attempt the passage by con-
gress of bill creating absolute prohi-
bition for the Territory of Hawaii. 1t
does not seem possible that any but
minority so small as to be infnites-
sinai could advocate a measure of this
kind with a purport so radical. The
people of Hawaii have shown their abll-
ity to govern themselves in the past
and we are constantly endeavorlng to
have our scope in. this respect enlarged
and not curtailed.
ssWe want to advance in self govern
ment not TO retrograde, and any legIs-
Iation in congress that takes away from
us the right of self-gOvernment IN any
particular. is a step backward in the
advancement of our citizenship. When
the legislature of 1907 passed the pres
emf liquor law the people wsre satisfied.
"After two years trial of said law
the great majority were more than
satisfied with its workings and even
the leaders of the local temperance
movement expressed themselves as con
tent with the present law and satisfied
TO let the matter rest as it is-and none
more strongly than Mr., Woolley him
self who stated that it was the best
liquor law he ever saw.
ssWhen an effort was made during
sfhe last term of the legislature TO

they could not recommend the accept
anee of the telephone company's
counter proposal without backing down
from the antagonistic position in which
they have chosen to place themselves.
That the telephone company is tired
of these methods is evidenced in a
letter addressed to the board by them
IN which they give up all their at
tempts to reach a compromise directly
with the board, and offer to abide by
the arbitration of the merchants as
ISOLATION. The letter, which has not
yet received the attention of the com
mittee, is as follows:
Gentlemen:-As you have not ac-
eepted the proposition which the tele~
phone company made to you in it's letter
OF November 4, which was the result
of our conference with committee of
the merchants association, we now do
submit to you the further following
propositions:
That the telephone company and the
board of supervisor s submit the subject
matter of their difference to the COM
mittee of the merchants association for
arbitration and settlement The tele-
phone company on its behalf agrees to
be bound by the result of such arbitra-
ton. Yours truly The Mutual Telephone
Company, by George R. Carter, its
treasurer
Whether Aylett, Cox, Kane, AHA and
Mcclellan, not to mention the mayor,
will accept this fair-minded proposition
is another matter. There is a gentle
touch of hopeless despair in the tone
of the letter, that would seem to in
dictate that the company would not be
surprised if this proposition, like all the
rest, would be antagonized by the Solid
Six.

NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE
This Time it is for Presidents Chair,
With Heydler and Ward
Chief Rivals.

New York, Dec 1O-With the annual
meeting OF the National league only four
days distant, the contest for the election
to the presidency Of that organization has
become the chief topic among sporting
men hers August Hermann, president
Of the Cincinnati baseball club, who ar
rived in New York yesterday, has made
it plain to everybody concerned that he
is out for the reelection of John Heydler,
who has also the support of Barney Drey-
fuss Of Pittsburg.
Charles W. Murphy, president of the
Chicago Nationals, is also in New York,
pushing the candidacy of John NJ Ward.
Neither Herman nor Murphy are IN
clined TO be prophetic, but both express
confidence that the men they favor will
be successful.
There never has been so much inter
est in the game as during the last year, ,,
says Mr.. Hermann, and this was al
because the public knew that the right
man was at the head of things and that
what was going on on the diamond was
on the level"
The American league also holds lis an
nual meeting here next week, but does
not elect a president, as Ban Johnson
continues in office under his ten-year
term.
Mr.. Murphy said tnat he had moth
ing against John HeydIer, the Dresl-
dent, but he considered Ward the right
man for the position. Murphy looks
for the National league magnates,
whose meeting is only four days away,
to wind UP their business quickly. He
thinks that a president will be elected
on the first ballot. He denies that
Chicago capital was behind the recent
sale of the Philadelphia Nationals, and
says, so far as he knows, the new own
ers of the new Philadelphia club have
not pledged themselves to vote for
either of the presidential candidates
Heydler or Ward.
Adrian c. Arson, former manager of
the Chicago Nationals, conferred to
day with Hermann relative to the
chances he had of being selected as a
compromise candidate. Hermann told
him that he would vote for Heydler
even if seven other ballots were cast
for Ward and that the Herrmann-Drey-
fuss faction of the National league
would not consider The question Of a
compromise candidate.

HAD TO SHOOT MORE
THAN ALLOWED TO LIVE

F. ". Chambers, state game and fish
commissioner, is busy with an inVesti-
cation of the duck question brought
out by the OveTstOCked market, as
a glance at the meat market and gro
Gerry store windows show. Reports
have reached him that the law, par
ticularly i'm the Bear River district, has
been violated, market hunters shoot
ing daily far above the legal limit Of
twenty-five.
The commissioner says that he be-
lieves the dealers are responsible for
the OverstOck, as they have been hold
ing the birds at very high prices.
That a market hunter must shoot
more than the legal limit to make
living is seen from the prices OBJ
tanned. AT the Bear River grounds,
where the big supply is had, the mar
ket hunters received all the fall $3.50
per dozen for large ducks. as mallards
canvasback and others, while teal and
the smaller varieties brought but 80
cents per dozen.
