SHALL AMERICAN ICE co.
 BE DISSOLVED
For Conspiracy in Restraint of Trade
 Jury Will Decide Today.

New York. Dec. 9.-A jury will de- eide tomorrow whether the American Ice company shall be dissolved for conspiracy in restraint of trade or shall continue its services to 5000, 900 consumers. John B. Stanchfield sum- med up for the defense today and James w. Osborne for the state be- gan his closing arguments late to- day. He will conclude tomorrow.
 MT. Stanchfield laid stress today on the size of the company, which, he said, made it a quasi-puHblic institu- ton, inasmuch as fee is virtually a necessity of life. 'sThe trial bristles with evidence" he continued, "that there is no monopoly of the supply, and, in view of increasing artificial production, can never be. When we sold ice at a low price we were ao- cused of attempting to create a mo- nopoly, and when we sold high. of having already created a monopoly" 1"
 Mir. Osborne in rebuttal argued that no company should serve 5000, 900 customers with a necessity of life, A thousand dealers in competition were not too many. he thought, for so huge market. He attacked the methods of the company with small dealers and went into long analysis of it's fi- nances.
 This corporation" he said, had $60,o00,000 of paper and a cash capi- tai of only $20,000. Then they 20 ahead and offer $40,000,00 of paper to secure $40,000,000 of competition and ask the public to pay dividends on the wind and water. And what Is their defense? That it was a foolish thing to try and create a monopoly in ice, because it could not be done.''

 TON A, FREE. MAN.
CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY sIIs
For a Special Car to Transport Him to New Yors-Not Permitted to Travel in Public Car.

Washington, Dec 9-Obstacles seem to pile up ahead of John R. Early, the leper," as fast as his counsel can break them down. Early expected to leave Washington today a free man to go to the Rockefeller institute for medical research in New York for examina- ton.
 Must Travel in Special Car.
 This arrangement was made by his counsel with the health authorities yesterday and Surgeon General Wy man of the public health and marine hospital service issued a permit for Early's transportation to New York. But a new objection bobbed up in the rates for Early's transportation. The Pennsylvania railroad decided to fur nish a baggage car to Early for S113. This, the railroad claims, is the regu- lar rate for a special car, and the law prohibits Early's transportation in any other.
 Remains in Quarantine.
 Today Early drew all his back pen sion, s196S0, which is all the money he has in the world, he says, and he does not want to pay nearly all of 1t to get to New York Early's counsel is now negotiating with the Baltimore and Ohio. Meanwhile Early is still quarantined.

 YEARS IN PRISON.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL
Set for Hearing in United States Cir cult court-Prisoner Talks About Misconduct of the Jury.

New York, Dec. s.-'Tf tho govern ment has a good case it can prove it again, but if I am denied new trial there is no remedy for me against the wrongs and misconduct of which I think the special officers and jury were guilty"
 Morse Comments on His Case.
 This is what Charles w. Morse, the convicted banker, who faces a fifteen year term in the federal prison in At lanta, says tonight in a lengthy state ment in which he continents on his case, contrary to his usual reticence "A motion for a new trial has been set for a hearing tomorrow in the United States circuit court, which convicted him, but the argument may be post poned because the mandate of tho United States circuit court of appeals granting such argument had not been handed down tonight The statement issued by Morse continues: What tho end will be l am not able to foretell- whether servitude under sentence which is rarely imposed even upon a murderer or a new trial with a chance to submit my case to another jury af- ter the passions of the panic have cooled the cry for a victim has ceased. If it be servitude in distant state and climate, away from my family and friends, l shall meet 1t with the firm consciousness that have not violated the law or done wrong to a single in- dividual
 Jury Misconduct.
 "You ask me what misconduct of the jury l refer to? Well, I refer to the fact that a majority of them, instead of keeping their heads clear and their blood cool, drank enough and often enough to prevent them from receiving and understanding and calmly weigh ing the complicated facts of my case"
 Will Abide by the Result. Morse goes into the charges against jury and special government agents in detail-charges heretofore made by his counsel-and concludes as follows: T leave to any fair minded citizen ! if the verdict against me should stand or whether I should not have another chance before another jury surrounded by different influences. There is not Q | business man in New York who would rely on the result Of any business con- | ference in which the members con- ducted themselves as this jury dfd. There is not judge in the United States who would knowingly permit the paid agents of the prosecution to take charge of the jury and conduct themselves as these men did. shah
 await the result and abide by it."
