Kansas Delegation Nearly Solid for
District Attorneys Reappointment.

Washington. Dec. 11.-Current re-
ports among the members of the Kan

reached an agreement upon the i'm
portant federal appointments that are
due to be made this month and early
in January. 1t is said by a member
of the delegation that the first clash
is to come over the appointment of a
successor to District Attorney Harry

ed that Senator Curtis and six mem
bers Of the delegation from the state,
Messrs. Madison. Scott, Miller, Calder
head, Reeder and Campbell either have
united, or will unite. in recommending
the reappoiatment- of Mr.. Bone, and
that Senator Bristow will recommend
w. L. Huggins..
In discussing this patronage question
the Kansas member of the delegation
asserted that certain changes and ap-
pointments may have the effect of
eliminating some of the candidates on
account of location. 1t was suggested
that possibly the appointment of Judge
SrilweI to be deputy commissioner of
pensions would cut out further con-
sideration of the Third district, and the
possible appointment of Senator Leidy
to be collector might eliminate A. w.

he has been in demand. Mr.. Snyder

or Mr.. Tandy and the odds favor Mr..
Snyder.
Councilman Miller is another favored
man. He has a strong constituency in
the Second ward-the people down there
will swear by their councilman-the
man who has upheld the rights of the
common people and always been a rep
resentative of their interests.
The other candidates for commission
er with very bright prospects are:
Councilman Fink-another alderman
from the First ward who is a strong
favorite with the men of the Santa Fe
shops and the people rf the North side.
F. G. Drenning-Former city attor-
ney. Was one of the first city officials
who commenced the campaign for the
commission form of government.
Councilman Stanley-A council repre-

undoubtedly have the support of the
school teachers and authorities over the
city.

ICE TRUST CONVICTED.
A Fine of $4,000 Is Imposed by the
Court.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE American
Ice company has been found guilty of
violating the anti-monopoiy law of this
state by a jury in the supreme court.
The jury was out l hour and 40 min
utes, and when the foreman announced
the verdict. the court Immediately i'm
posed the maximum sentence of $4,000
fine. The conviction is the first under
the new anti-monopoly law and will
probably be fought to the highest court
in the state. The significance of the
verdict lies not so much in the rela-
lively trivial amount of the fine i'm
posed as in the irtimation made by
John B. Stanchfield of defendants S
counsel, that a finding against the
company, which he said, supplies eight
million customers. would mark the first
step in it's ultimate dissolution.
The American Ice company, though
tried under the laws of New York, was
incorporated under the laws or New
Jersey for 40 million dollars and later
taken over by the American Ice Secur-
tiles 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. Before Wesley N. Oler was
elected president of the company Chas.
w. Morse. the convicted banker, was
active in its affairs.

CHRISTMAS RECESS.
Congress Will Adjourn December 21
for Two Weeks.


Washington, Dec. I1.-Congress will ad-
ourn for the holidays on Tuesday, the
21st instant and the Christmas recess will
continue for two weeks terminating on
Tuesday, January 4. There has been some
pressure for an adjournment on Satur-
day, the 18th, but Chairman Tawney of
the house committee on appropriations,
mas made such a strong plea for an op-
portunity to get the appropriation legisla-
ton started in the house that the ways
and means committee has decided to defer
the adjournment long enough to accom-
modate him in that respect.
Chairman Payne of the ways and means
committee, who is authority for the state
ment as to the beginning of the recess,
said today that it was desirable to get
the appropriation bills under way as soon
as possible and expressed the opinion that
the congressmemn could very well afford
if there was a prospect of having some
|of the supply measures disposed of.
There is no doubt that the senate will
concurd in any action that the house
takes.

effect was produced on the stock mar

placed upon the presidents message by
financial opinion and by the reduction
in the Bank of England discount rate.
The tone of the presidents message
was pronounced moderate and conserv-

The reported disinclination of the
congressional leadership to enter on
radical legislation was a favoring fac
