Ice company was found guilty today
i'm the supreme court OF restricting

utcs. and when the foreman announc-
ed the verdict, the court Immediately

So. 900 fine under provisions OF the
Donnely anti-monopoly law of this
state.
The conviction is the first under the
new law and will probably be fought
to the highest court In the seate.
The significance Of the verdict lies
not so much in the relatively trivial
amount of the fine imposed as in tho
intimations made by John B. Stanch-
field OF counsel for the defense that 4
finding against the company, which he
said. supplies eight million customers,
would mark the first step IN its ulu-
mate dissolution.
The American Ice company. though

and later taken over by the American
Ice Securities company of the same

B'uefields, Mic, Dec. u
a staff correspondent of the
Associated Press who recent
ly arrived here, has canva ssed
the situation and finds it less
hopeful for the insurgents than
had been believed.
General Estrada is greatly
disturbed and has appealed to
United States Consul Moffatt
for marines from the cruiser
Des Moines to protect Aneri-
cans. 1t is known, however,
that what he really wishes is
intervention by the United
States to save the insurgent
cause.
While General Vasquez, at
the head Of a handful of loyal
troops, was parleying with Es-
trada's ENJOYS before Rama,
it is said the main army Of
Zelaya was marching on Blue-
fields.
A disquieting report comes
from Greytown, which is said
to contain a government force
sufficient to rout the troops un-
der Gen. Chamarro whenever
the word is given.
Itis possible that the insur-
gents are unduly alarmed, just
as they appeared to be over
confident, but the situation is
set forth as it is collected from
the insurgents standpoint.
ESTRADA OUTWITT'ED
There has been a sudden
and unpleasant realization
here Of the Government
strength and insurgent weakness.
President Zelaya has outwitted
General Estrada and the latter's
chief hope is in au American in
tervention. 1T turns out that the
conference sought by General
Vasquez, of the government
troops, near Rama, which the in
surgents had interpreted as sign
of yielding on the part of Zelaya's S
troops, was a blind intended to
secure n delay of the expected
battle until the loyal army had
gained a decided advantage of
position. 1t is also learned that
