Y.PairoImen Willing TO
Load Ice in Hot Spell.
Departments Answer TO DECLARE
Ition Of Ice Co. President.
Results Of lnysstlgailon 10 Be Made
Public at Hearing Next Week.

New York, July 1.-THE New York
City police department is willing to
all the Knickerbocker Ice Co. with all
the men it needs to load ice barges in
hot weather, and they will work at the
Ice Cos. scale Of wages.
This was the answer tonight by Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo TO the con-
tention by President Oler of the COM
pany. that ne could not get enough
men to load ice during an abnormally
hot spell. Commissioner Waldo also an
nounced that he sent detectives up the
Hudson river to the Knfckerboeker
Cos various ice stations, to see If
there was scarcity of labor at any or
all of them
The investigation conducted by the
district attorney of methods pursued
by the so-ealled ice Trust" will be
thrown open to the public next week
when a magistrate will sit all the week
to take testimony, and when series
of public hearings will be held.
Twelve big ice barges discharged
their cargoes herr Friday and thanks
partly to the cooler weather. relieved
the ice famine that caused suffering In
the tenement districts during the re-
cent hot spell. and stimulated the pres
ent investigation of the Knfckerboeker
Ice Co.
Mr.. Olen Thursday paid a visit to May
or Gaynor. He said afterward that he
found the mayor courteous and reason
able, and he personally would welcome
the supervisionso of the police or any other
competent authority over the business as
conducted by his company. He gave an
extended explanation of conditions and
a defence of his own company in long
letter to Commissioner Waldo, in re-
Spouse 10 the questions put to him by a
representative from Waldos office. The
letter said, in part:
In the first place, conditions in New
York are like those I'm every other large
city IN the United States. AS far as |
can learn, a shortage Of ice is being felt
in all the large cities, and all due 10 the
same cause.-the unprecedented heat and
its long continuance. | do not know of
such a spell of weather in all my expert
ence in the ice business. We are deal
ing IT a commodity that is extremely per
ishable. and 1t is not possible TO carry a
large stock of such an article beyond what
is ordinarily necessary to supply the de-
mands such as are customary at the season
of the year. Normally. the manufacturing
plants of New York supply fully so per
cent of the ice OF this city during seven
months OF the year. The small demand
for natural ice during these months does
not give employment to the number of
men in the natural ice business required
when hot weather comes on. so it makes 1t
extremely difficult to secure men enough
tn load the natural ice necessary under
the unprecedented conditions we have had
In July. We always expect hot spell
in July. but never OF this Duration We

FISHING IN CHINA.

During the recent Christmas holidays Il
happened that we passed through the town
let OF Hukou. on the Nadoo Creek A
crowd was on the bank watching the man
oeuyers OF two fishermen who were reap-
Ing harvest of mussels and wrinkles. Many
have read how the natives collect wild
fowl by going into the water after them
and dragging the birds under by their legs,
but possibly no one has witnessed the oper-
alton. These fishermen were dressed in
fowiing costume; cowskn coat and stock
inss, all in one piece with the hair turned
inside. Inc only apertures in the garment,
into which the wearers worked their way
feet foremost were at the neck and cuffs,
which were securely lied before entering
the water into which tn men waded I'D to
their necks. AS soon as their feet came in
contact with any of tho shellfish. which
seemed TO lie in beds the fishermen loosened
eminently successful during the short time
we stopped to watch them. and piled up a
big catch" on the foreshore.
Another sight which Interested us was
novel way of fishing Two small boats
were moving parallel with one another
about thirty feet apart. Behind each OF
them we saw line about sixty feet long.
TO which small, Undated hooks were at
taehed about four inches apart. The lines
were fastened to sticks held respectively by
man IN each boat. As the boats moved
slowly along first one man and then the
other would give his stick Jerk.
When the hooks struck anything the line
was gradually hauled in and invariably
with success. We saw fish struck four out
OF five times many of them cumming an
parently from half pound to two or more
pounds II may be that China is the only
place in the world where fish are caught
with Undated hooks.--North China Daily

refugees of the fire-swept district, terror

ADDING TO DEATH LIST.
impossible Yet to Estimate Terrible
Losses in Fire at Porcupine.

Toronto, July 14-Nothing like an
accurate estimate of the victims of
northern fires is at all possible as yet,
but already the list of those named as
dead is approaching 100. Two names
were added this morning, when Mrs.
Meek, mother of the Dome Mine man
ager and John Below. an employee.
died IN the hospital at New Liskard.
A rumor from Golden City says that
the greatest loss of life, may have,
after all, occurred in the towns and
not in the great expanse of bush II
is said that 40 bodies have been re-
covered from Porcupine lake.
The Porcupine relief committee is
sending searching parties through the
burned area. many men being report
ed as missing.
The telegraph wires from the Far
North are clogged with the mass of
matter filed for transmission.
A dispatch from Haileybury says
that Matheson, a town of 5000, is cir.
cled by fire. which may prove disas-
trous should gale spring up. Earl,
ton, 100 miles north of North Bay,
has had several houses burned, while
at Englehart, residents are working
hard. piling up and burning scattered
brush wood. There was a slight show
er here yesterday. Fires are raging on
the Quebec side of Lake Temiskaming
and a large number of settlers in the
country around Sudbury have been
burned out and have had to flee for
their lives.
Relief trains with provisions, tents
and blankets are being rushed in over
the government railway and the food
supply at Porcupine is now adequate
and there viii be no hunger
Hon. Frank Cochrane. member Of
the Ontario government. whose de-
partment of lands and mines is partial
~ responsible for the settlements in
Ontario says:
''While we do not wish to minimize
this terrible affair. there is every
justification for feeling that the news
paper reports up to date have been
exaggerated We are not blaming the
newspapers They get the best infor-
nation they can. but from the infor-
nation made by offifficials. we can say
with certainty that there has been too
much exaggeration and people are be-
ing alarmed unnecessarily.
..Mr Clements. chief engineer of the
T. & n. o. Railway says that only %
people have been accounted for as
dead. We have it directly from the
r,ome people themselves that their
death list is nine only. In a number or
instances where bodies have been re-
ported as lying on the ground, inves=
tigation by Mr.. Clements has failed 10
find anybody who had seen any. Wild
rumors are caught up and they are
spread to an incredible extent.
1.-THE fire area has been unnecessarily
magnified There is fire at the pris-
oners' camp and this is only about
three miles from Porcupine."

all tell narrowing stories of terrific
fights for life. MANY bodies are re-
ported strewn along the trail.
At the Big Dome mine, splendid
fire lighting apparatus was available
with powerful pumps ana plenty OF
hose. but nothing could Withstand the
flames. Two hundred and sixty men
We're working at this mine and 1t is

Those who went down the shaft were
suffoeated as the shaft house and even
the timbering of the shaft walls were
burned. Six bodies have been recover
ed from the Big Dome shaft and 26
bodies at West Dome.

people stood for four hours in the wa

was close to the waters surface be-
tween the waves which dashed spray
over their heads. Many sank beneath
the waters and the first search brought
out nine bodies from Porcupine lake
Estimates of the number drowned
range from 20 upwards. Seven bodies
were found on the trail between Hol-
finger and Mcintyre mines. half mile
apart and seven bodies have been
found on the Vipond property. Relief
trains with provisions and supplies are
being rushed in over the government

CONGRESS-


psign publicity bill Senator Penrose.
Republican leader, announced that it had
been found impossible to include in the
definite agreement any more subjects
than those named. senator Martin. Dem
ocratie leader assured Kenyon. Republi-
can Insurgent. that the Democrats would
make every effort 10 obtain vote on the
publicity measure which would require
publicity of campaign funds before cleo
lion. Borah is determined to press the
joint resolution providing for the election
of senators by direct vote, and will lose
no chance to bring about an agreement
between the conferees on that measure.
He has so notified them and they have
agreed to have their first meeting within
the next day or two He protested in the
Senate today that Congress must appar-
emily settle a momentous question before
ii could reach an agreement, namely,
whether the Senate conferees should APP
pear at the door of the House or the
House conferees at the door of the Senate
and ask for the final conference. Reed
Mo, explained that delay was due to the
absence of Chairman Rucker of the
House conferees from the city.
The Bristow amendment to the cana
dian reciprocity bill proposing redue-
ton of the sugar tariff and the abolition
of the dutch standard basis OF as
sessing the tariff on imported sugar was
defeated today IS to s after Bristow had
made an exhaustive speech on the sub
ject Bourne Bristow, Brown. Cummins,
Clamp, Dixon Gronna and Nelson voted
in support of it.
Cummins introduced additional amend
ments to the bill. one providing for a re-
duction of the duty on steel beams, girders
and like products. and the other for a re-
duction of the duty ON oil cloth and line
oieum.
with the fate of reciprocity pre-deter-
mined in favor of that measure, senators
already are specializing on the possible re-
suit of the promised votes on the two tar
III bilis--those on wool and the free list
included in todays agreement No one
would undertake to predict the outcome
but all agreed that the success or failure /
of the measures depends entirely upon
whether the Democrat and Insurgent Re-
puhlieans can unite on any line of action.
The Insurgents have no idea of accepting
the House bills, and some of the Demo-
Gratis are disinclined TO permit them to |
dictate the terms of legislation. There have
been no formal conferences. and already |
it is apparent that much effort will he nee |
essary TO bring about an understanding.
Ii has been intimated that If Congress |
should pass and the President should veto |
the wooden and free list bills the Demo- |
Gratis would insist upon the continuation |
of the session for further. tariff legislation. |
The Republican leaders fear no such re-
suit however, because they say the DEM |
ocratie senators are quite as anxious to |
end the session as the Republican senators |
are.
