SHORT WEIGHT ICE
COMPLAINTS REACH
DISTRICT BUILDING
Buyers Can Avoid Decep-
ton If They Use Care in
Making Purchases.

A number Of complaints of short
weight ice have been received recently
at the District Building, and there is
increased activity on the part OF w. c.
Haskelrs inspectors.
While conditions are not as bad as
In former years. Superintendent Haskell
has caused thirty prosecutions 10 be in
stituted in the Police Court since May
|. In every instance the prosecution
was directed against the driver or The
man in charge of the wagon.
THE fault lies with the drivers, and
not with the ice companies" said an
official today" Strict instructions are
given the drivers to give full weight,
and on hot days in loading the wagons
an allowance of from Is to 20 per cent
is made for drainage.
The driver is called upon to account
for the number of pounds sold and de-
livered, and there is an opportunity
for the dishonest man to sell short
weight and put the difference between
the price paid by the consumer and
the money that belongs to the company
in his own pocket.
Complaints of short weight ice in
many cases are due to the fault Of the
consumer. II buyers will remember
not to ask for a scent cake or a 10
cent cake, but for ten pounds or
twenty-five pounds. they get their
moneys worth"
dressed to the superintendent Of weights
and measures are carefully Investigated.
and prosecutions will follow in every
instance.

MAINE EXPLOSION
STILL A MYSTERY,
B|XbY DECLARES
Cause of Blast on Battleship
Never Will Be Known,
Says General.

The cause OF the explosion Of the
magazines Of the United States battle
ship Maine while in Havana harbor in
1898, will always remain secret, ac-
cording to the declarations here today
of Brigadier General Bixby. chief of
engineers. u. s. A.. who has just re-
turned from inspecting the work of
raising the wreck.
General Bixby, after examination of
the torn and twisted hull, does not diff
fer with the naval court Of inquiry,
which held that the Maine was de-
stroyed by an interior explosion in the
forward magazines. This explosion,
said the court, was believed due to the
explosion of a torpedo or submarine
mine outside the vessel.
General Bixby said the condition of
the wreck will prevent the discovery of
the primary cause of the explosion.
IF It was caused by a to<pedo, or
mine from without, the fact will never
be established" he asserted.

Ice Supply Curtailed
In Suburbs While
Weather Is Hottest

The people Of Hyattsville, Riverdale.
and College Park and towns in that
vicinity are feeling the effects Of hot
weather by their ice supply being cur
tailed. Their ice dealers notified them
this morning that the demand on the
manufacturers had been so great that
they were unable to get their usual
quantity, and would have to serve their
customers with less than the usual
amounts so the supply would go around.

MYSTERY IN HECK CASE
SUICIDE THEORY NOT ACCEPT
ED BY BELMONT CORONER.
Absence Of Powder Burns on Head
Is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
To Be Continued.

Mystery surrounds the supposed
suicide Of Casimire Heck, young Bel
gian supposed to have shot himself
in his room at Wheeling Creek Mon
day evening. II was alleged that
Heck seated himself in a chair and
placed the muzZle OF a 32-calibre re-
volver against his temple and pulled
the trigger but there is not a sign of
powder marks about his temple or
forehead. and the belief is that had
he held the gun so close TO his head
that powder marks would be visible.
Coroner DIT. c. b. Messerly, of Mar
tins Ferry. is not satisfied with the
suicide theory, and stated last night
that he would investigate the case.
He examined the body and found the
'.ball entered the right temple and
came out Just back OF the left ear,
the ball being embedded just under
, the skin. He carefully examined the
right temple. but there was no signs
OF burns from the powder, or any
marks. Dr. Messerly Is OF the opinion
that TO hold a revolver against ones
temple would leave powder marks,
and today he will experiment with
the gun Heck is supposed TO have
used. a theory. OF foul play is enter
tanned by some.
According TO a story given out at the
boarding house. Heck was despond-
ent over the condition OF his health.
and purchased the gun and a box of
cartridges Monday afternoon. When
found IT was said he was sitting in
chair. and In his right hand lying
across his lap was the revolver. He
is supposed 10 have fred the revol-
yer with his right hand and then in
place OF the hand falling at his side
fell across his lap.
