TRUST BOOSTED PRICE
OF ICE 100 PER CENT.
Testimony to That Effect Before New
York District Attorney.

New York. July 16.-Mayor Gaynor's S
crusade against the so-called ice trust
assumed dramatic features today when
independent ice dealers swarmed to i
public meeting to recite their alleged
grievances. The police department and
the district attorneys office, both of
which have been Investigating. the af-
fairs of the Knickerbocker and Amer
ican Ice companies, were represented,
and a stenographer took down every
pertinent statement.
When the speaking was over the
dealers stepped into an adjoining room
and made oath to the truth of their
statements.
Some of the dealers complained that
the Knickerbocker company had re-
fused to sell to them during the recent
hot spell and at the same time had
retailed ice to their customers. Others
declared that the price had been boost
ed 100 per cent. or more Joseph
Sheridan the chairman. declared that
many so-called Independent wholesale
dealers were not Independent at all.
Still others claimed that while they
had to pay S5 ton for ice to the
wholesaler, the wholesale dealer had
sold their customers direct at 81 a
ton.
At the close of the meeting Assistant
District Attorney DeFord announced
that the state would enforce the Con-
nelly anti trust law if sufficient evi
dence of the existence of a monopoly
were obtained. The dealers dispositions
were given to detectives who are con-
tinuing the police investigation.

Washington July 16.-Expressing
the belief that persistent efforts to

connection with the department per-

Mr. Cox said he wanted to find out
what interests were after DR.. Wiley.
His resolution, he said, was in no way
antagonistic to the work of the ex-

Miners Killed
By Explosion
TWENTY-oNE PERISH IN A NINE
AT sYkEsvILLE. PA.
AFTERDAMP CAUSED DEATHS
Explosion Was Slight and Did Little
Damage to Mine-some of the Vic
Tins Locked in Each Others Arms.

Dubois, Pa, July 16.-Twenty-o
miners were killed in an explosion in
the shaft of the Cascade Coal and
Coke company's mine at Sykesville,
nine miles from here, last night. The
explosion occurred at $50 p. M, but it
was after midnight before the extent Of
the disaster wa6 known.
Afterdamp Causes Fatalities.
All but three of the victims are for
efgners. The explosion was slight, as
evidenced by the small damage done in
the mine. The deadly afterdamp was
responsible for most of the loss of life.
Locked in Each Others Arms.
Three sets of brothers and a father
and son are numbered among the dead.
George Abod. John Heck and Nick
Pavelick and his 10 year old son were
found locked in each others arms, as
though they embraced each other in
their dying moments. None of the
bodies were mutilated and but few
showed any burns.
Eleven Had Their Dinner Pals.
Eleven of the men in one portion {
the mine had apparently made ready
to escape, for they grasped their dir
ner pals in their lifeless hands and
they fell, apparently, while running
for the opening.

on the fan blew open and the machin-
cry began to run wild. It was sur
missed there was trouble below, but it
was almost midnight when rescuers
could enter the mine. 1t took some
time to get to the scene of the acci-
dent, mile and half from the open
ing, because the rescuers were oblige1 i
to carry oxygen with them.
Four Bodies Were Buried by Cave in
All but four of the bodies were
brought to the foot of the shaft early
today; the others were buried beneath
a cave-in in heading and were no.
recovered until late this afternoon. The
state constabulary from Punxsutawa-
ney were called to police the vicinity
of the shaft, and when the bodies were
brought out there was little distress or
excitement
Cause of Explosion Not Known.
Neither mine officials nor mine in
spectors are able to assign a cause for
the explosion, and as there are no sur
v1yors the cause may never be known
1t is a general belief that some of the
men drilled into a pocket of gas,
though the shaft is known as a nom
gaseous one, and Fire Boss John Brown
reports he was through the heading
where the explosion occurred but an
hour before and found no trace of gas.
Rescue Car Not Needed.
When the rescue car of the bureau
of mines arrived here the services were
not needed, as all the men were dead
and the air in the mine had been
cleared

CONGRESS TO ADJOURN
SOON AFTER AUGUST
Arizona New Mexico Statehood Vote
Will Finish ItsN4Nork.

Washington, July 16.-All legisla-
tive paths now lead to adjournment
of congress quickly after the vote on
the Arizona New Mexico statehood bill
is taken in the senate on the legisla-
tive day of August 7. The senate will
be ready then, in all probability, de-
spite the general tariff revision threat
of Senator CummiIls of Iowa and other
insurgents, and the house will not in
terpose any fresh legislation to dis
turb the senate's programme for wind
ing up the extra session.
Only six days remain before the final
vote is reached upon the Canadian
reciprocity bill in the senate. Its pas
sage by a two-thirds vote of the SEN
ate is confidently predicted by senate
leaders who have seen many import
ant amendments voted down in the
last few days by majcrities larger than
they had ventured to nope for.
A number of important speeches in
support of the bill are expected, with
a view to making clear the position Of
the democrats and republicans who
have refused to entertain any amend
ment to the bill and who have sup
ported President Taft's desire for early
ratification of the agreement as Il
stands. Senators Stone of Missouri,
Shively of Indiana and other demo-
Gratis will advocate the bill this week.
while Senators Bailey of Texas and
LaFollette of Wisconsin will oppose il.

ABROAD FROM THREE CITIES
Postal Savings Banks May Keep Much
of That Money at Home.

Washington. July 16. = Postmaster
General Hitchcock today designated
the main postoffices in the city of New
York. Chicago, Boston and ST. Louis
as postal savings repositories. They
will begin to receive deposits on Aug. 1.
Having installed successfully more
than thousand postal savings banks
lin second class postof1ces, Mr.. Hitch
cock decided to extend it to some Of
the first class offices Immediately. The
four cities were named because of their
great population and commercial prom
inence and because in each one is 10
Gated a United States sub-treasury,
which will facilitate the heavy bank
ing business that is likely to result
from the postal savings transactions.
AS in the smaller cities, the system
probably will be particularly popular
with the foreign-born residents, many
of whom now send their surplus saw
ings to their home countries. From
New York city alone last year the
money orders sent abroad by foreign
born residents aggregated ss.e00.000.
The foreign-born population of New
York is in excess Of 100000, in Chit
cago 100000. Boston 100000, and in ST
Louis 10000. Money orders were sent
abroad last year to the amount of S.
100000 from Chicago. $2.300,000 from
Boston, and $1.O00.000 from st. Louis.

A BaIIoonist
Lands in Sea
LIFE SAVED BY PLANK ON
WHICH HE FLoATED.
SWIMMING EXHAUSTED HIM
FIoated Ashore in an Unconscious
condition-startedf from New York,
to Make Trip to Philadelphia.

Asbury Park. n. J.. July 16.-Within
ten feet of highwater mark on the
beach near Deal, A. J. Roberts, an
aeronaut, who started in his dirigible
balloon from New York yesterday for
Philadelphia, was found in an uncon-
scious condition early today.
Dropped Into Ocean.
Roberts had been forced to pull the
rip cord of his gas bag when the gas
oline gave out and he found that he
was being carried out to sea during
the night. He dropped into the ocean
half a mile from shore and swan to
the beach, ne said The dirigible was
swept offshore by the wind.
Intended Trial Trip Only.
Roberts was carried to Allenhursp
and given stimulants and finally be-
came able to tell his story. He said
that when he ascended he intended
making only a trial trip, but finding
the wind favorable he decided to try
to reach Philadelphia. Before he had
gone very far, however. ne encoun-
tered contrary winds and made a land
ing about IL or Is miles from New
York, he thought
SquaII Carried Him to Sea.
Adjusting his engine, he made an
other ascension. and after long inter-
walls saw lights along shore and heard
the sound of the surf. He tried sto
make a landing but the dirigible was
hit by squall from the northwest
and he was driven out over the sea.
To add to his troubles, a fog came up
and soon caused the gas in the big bag
to cool.
Got Within 300 Yards of Shore.
The airship dropped gradually until
the car trailed in the water, but Rob-
erts threw out Ballast and the dirigi-
BILE ascended again. Roberts said that
he worked his way in until he was
about 300 yards from the shore, but
then discovered that his gasoline was
given out.
Forced to Pull Rip Cord.
Fearing that he would be driven out
to sea in helpless condition, he pulled
the rip cord. He climbed to the out
side of the basket. hung on until the
difigible was about 80 feet from the
water and then dropped into the sea.
Found a Plank.
Roberts thought he was then about
half a mile from shore. While swim
ming around, trying to get his bearings
he found a plank. But he gradually
became exhausted. The aeronaut de-
cIared that he had but the slightest
recollection of striking the beach and
it is supposed he was unconscious
when he floated ashore. He was well
enough this afternoon to return to
