Declare Scheme for a Dis
trict Plant Is Not
Feasible.

The BosTd of Awards CT the District
government has recommended that The
contrac! 1or ice for the fiscal year end
ed June 80. 1910. be let at 40 cents per
hundred pounds. the price bid by the
American Ice Company.
This action followed a board meeting
of the Commissioner. when the ques-
ton of che ice supply was taken up.
With such facts and figures as he has
at his command at the present time.
Commissioner Henry L. West does not
believe he would be justified in recon-
mending to his associ .tes the establish
ment of an ice plan for the District.
Mr.. West asked for a summary Of the
expenditure for ice and the manner of
supply Immediately on his arrival at
the District building this morning.
This involved considerable work in all
of the departments. especially in the
schools and police departments. Il
was found that the amount involved
was about $500 ann iialIy, which pur-
chased about $4,000 podnds OF ice. This
ice is furnished in very small qu5nti-
ties to the schools, station houses, and
fire engine houses throughout the Dis
trict.
Il do not believe the District could
make its ice and deliver it at the price
Neing paid now" said Mr.. West after
viewing the figures. The cost OF es-
tablishing plant would be enormous
and there would be the added cost of
delivery, which would be almost as
much as the ice is costing US now, to
say nothing of the expense of main
tanning the plant ann sying the wages
of the men attached tnAreto.''
i hardly think / \. 0u1d favor the
establishment of a Dist let ice plant. .
aid Commissioners Macf1ri9Od when
asked what he thought of the propo-
sition. Il belieVe I would favor the
purchase of ice for The use of the Dis
tTict government deOartments from q.
Federal ice plant, however. That Is
"A question with which we have moth
ing to do, just at present.
The divergence in the Frjae looks great
on the face of things. out it is hardly
fair to compare the price I. id by US.
under these circumstances, with that
paid by ore of the Government depart
ments, where al the ice used is de-
livered at one time to one building

alone. except for the assistance % a
small boy. In 1850 he became editor Of
the Chambersburg Repository. widely
known anti-sIavery journal of that time.
Colonel Mcclure wss a member of the
convention which organized the Repub-
liCan party in 1855, and in the follow
ing year ne was a member of the ma
tional convention that nominated Ere
mont EoF tLS EFSsIositsS ne etS q
member of the convention in 1850, and
through his efforts the PenpSylVanta
delegates voted for Lincoln, although

clare are the real reasons for his ie-
tirement. one Of these friends, Walter

be made In due time would show Mr.
Crane to have been the victim OF a
political intrigue.

Crane did not mention the reason for
his recall. Hs could not. as he did not
know that the offending newspaper ar
ticle had been published and did not

article may be judged from the fact
that II was not suspected of being the
cause until the tip was given In WASH
ington. II was not until after its con-
nection with Mr.. Cranes recall leaked
out in Washington that the Japanese
embassy sent to the newspaper ONCE
for cony of the article"
Mr.. Fisher said 1t was due to Mr.
Crane also to note that in carrying
out the Presidents wishes that lie
should do some vigorous public speak,
ing and IN the absence OF instructions
from the State Department, Mr.. Crane
carefully confined himself to the lines
laid down by Mr.. Taft himself in the
famous Shanghai speech. ringing with
VIGOROUS Anfericarism and SO definitely
friendly to the Chinese that II ended
all talk Of the dismemberment of
China.
When he 'sfet them have II hot" Mr.
Crane talked only on the common in

received no criticism from the Depart
