O[ER SARCASTIC
IN GIVING FIGURES
OF ICE SUPPLY
Head of Trust Says More Came
Down River This Year
Than Last.

President Wesley NJ. Oler OF the
knickerbocker Ice Company. the le-
gally deodorized successor OF tho Ameri-
can Ice Company, was examined to-day
before Magistrate Appleton at the Dis
trict-Attorney's office by Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney Deming regarding the
shortage OF ice in this city during the
hot weather at the beginning OF July.
The object of the questioning was to
learn whether the Ice mpa deliber-
ately withheld the necessary suppl Of
ice In order to keep up prices and en-
Darrass retail competitors who ordinar-
lily bought from It at wholesale.
Mr.. Oler produced records OF the ice
company showing that betwee June
10 n July II last year IL brought
down to the city SEATS tons of ice and
mat this year in the same period Il
brought down 66,451. Ordinarily the
company kept a reserve of $500 or
5000 tons at the river front. The pro
hts for four years, said Mr.. oier. were
S63S,2oo on n capital of $4,000, 200 ex-
elusive OF water rights.

because l want to show the court
what "A wicked and grasping corpora
ton we are and just how we have
oppressed the people OF the United
states. Up to June | this year we
faced a loss OF $4,000. Since July we
have showed a profit of $1,000. A price
of $50 a ton is necessary in order to
avoid loss.
THE ice business is IA rotten business.
For six months In the year we have a
loss. For two months we can hold our
own, and for the other four we look
for "A profit.
rs 1t true" asked Mr.. Demlng, that
Ice companies take business from each
other in the middle OF the summer?
How is this done?"
1T Is largely "A matter of PERSONAL
Ity." said Mr.. Oler. "a man who can
jolly the cook and the jan.tor is able
to swing the families on his route to
the books of the ice company for which
he works. That's about all there Is
to say about It,"

Mrs. Palmer Was Aboard the
American When It Entered
War Zone.
SON HERE.
Young Simon Arrives With
Black Bag Filled With
Gold Coin.

Mrs. Charles y. Palmer, who vas Miss
Katrina Wright. a daughter OF former
Secretary of War Luke Wright. arrived
here so-day on the Aliemanla after a
narrowing experience In the Bay Of
Port-au-Prince. Eayti. Mrs. Palmer
was aboard the zach; American, which
vas lying within the tangent cut by the
bullets the revolutionis,s were firing on
the night OF July 10 In order to cripple
the Simon government.
Mrs. Palmer and her husband, Can't.
CHARLES ID. Palmer, were quests OF
Evan X. Dick. a Wall street broker,
with Central American interests, who
had been commissioned by The now
oVerthrown Simon government to pur-
chase a yacht Tor the Haytlen navy.
He bought the American. once owned
by the late Archibald Watt, and took
II down :" H"yt!. sailing OF yu!y Q.
"niie they were on the Atlantic the
broke out. and the America,
sailed right into the thick OF II. Bullets
whistled about the ears OF the cruising
party. Mrs. Palmer had to hide behind
q small boat until there was a iull In
the hrins. when she made her escape
below decks. where she stayed until IL
was all ovor.
The most important OF tho refugees
who came on tho Allemania was Antoine
simon jr., a. son of the depossd Pre- a.
dent OF the republic. He was accom-.
panied |, Antoine Pierre Paul. a mem-
ber OF the Chamber Of Deputies. and
they are en- route for Paris with a black
satchel containing SIX. 900. They rushed
aboard tho Allemania about a minute
before sailing time. and In the purser's
office th.y began to disgorge gold COINS
from their pockets. piling 1t all into
the black bag.
Simon was asked whether his father
would Join him In Paris. but n de-
clinsd to answer. Both men are typical
Haytiens with black skins.
Mr.. Dick said that the revolution was
due to woeful mkmanagement and OK
travagance. He was sure that the
Simon Government was not corrupt,
but simply inefficient. and had aroused
the cupldity OF the revolutionary lead
ers. The hardest fighting he saw WAS
that put up by his collie terrier. Sally
May. who has an aversion for black
bare feet, and engaged every Haytien
who came her way.
Another refugee on board was Akses
Rasmussen. engineer Of the cruiser An
ton Simon. which came near to founder
ing In the bay of Port-au-Prince with
the entire Haytien army and navy on
board.
