NO FEAR Of ICE FAMINE
IN THE CAPITAL CITY
Washington Dealers, Noting
Heavy Demand, Say Sup
ply Will Be Ample.

The unusually warm summer, which
since the middle Of May, combined with
the high temperature OF the past two
weeks, has upset the calculations Of some
of the ice men here as to the ability OF
the ice-making plants to take care Of
the local demand without bringing any
natural ice from Maine to help out.
When the season opened there was in
storage a large supply of ice, but big
hole has been made in it the last month,
and should the remainder of the summer
continue to be hot it is regarded as more
than probable that vessel or two laden
with ice will have to be brought here to
meet the local demand.
Will Prevent Shortage.
There is on hand a supply large enough
to take care of heavy demand for about
three weeks, and the managers of the
local ice company will have ice vessels
here in time to prevent any shortage
should the necessity arise. There Is said
to be plentiful supply Of ice in the big
storage houses in Maine, and 1t II only
a question of chartering vessels to bring
it here.
Samuel A. Kimberly, manager of the
American Ice Company, today declared
that there is no danger of an ice fam
inc here. He said the eight manufac-
turing plants In this city are daily pro-
ducin, SEQ tons OF the cooling material
and that his company alone has re-
serve supply of 1000 tons in storage.
Irregular Deliveries.
The only difficulty experienced is in
deliveries, and this cannot be helped. be-
cause of the heat, which makes 1t hard
on the horses.
A. B. Willis Of the Home Ice Com
pany also said the ice companies in this
city do not anticipate a famine. He es-
timated that the demand for the last few
weeks has been four times greater than
when normal weather conditions exist,
and for that reason deliveries have been
irregular.

NEWS Of ROCKVILLE
AND THE COUNTY
CoIored Prisoner Swallows
GIass-Physician Applies
Remedy and Saves Life.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

L
ROCKVILLE, Md, July II. 1911
William Porter. a young negro. who has
been in Jail here several weeks awaiting
trial on a charge Of stealing horse from
Clarence Moore, a olubman, who owns a
farm near Forest Glen. this county, is
recovering from an overdose Of glass. He
was taken sick about a week ago with
symptoms that led DR.. O. NJ Linthicum,
physician to the Jail. to believe he was
suffering from Intestinal trouble common
at this season of the year, but as his
condition continued to grow worse In
spite Of the usual remedies the physician
began to suspect that the mans illness
was due to something he had taken.
Porter protested. however, that he lad
swallowed nothing other than provided
by the regular Jail bill OF fare. His con-
dition became SO serious a day or two
ago that DR.. Linthcum decided that there
was something inside the man that was
responsible for his illness and that I'M
less it was removed and very quickly the
Jail would soon have a dead prisoner on
its hands. So the usual methods to clear
the stomach were used.
Treatment Effective.
As a result Of the treatment, there was
removed from the negros stomach more
than teaspoonfull Of glass. most Of 1t In
very small pieces, but some Of the pieces
as large as a grain OF corn. Remedies I'd
heal the mans lacerated intestine were
used and his condition has since shown
steady Improvement. DR.. Linthicum be-
lieves he will recover.
It was found that Porter had crushed
q glass bottle that had been left In his
cell and had swallowed most Of it.
DIR. Iinthicum fnclines to the belief that
the negro swallowed the glass in the hope
that his illness would mean his removal
from the Jail to a hospital. Had the dis
covery Of what caused his illness been
delayed day or two longer he would,
according to DR.. Linthicum, have been
removed from the Jail all right. but to
some convenient graveyard.
