GAYNOR TELLS WALDO
TO PROBE ICE TRUST
Will Lay Information Before the
District Attorney if the Com
plants Are Verified.
WHITMAN IS READY 70 ACT
Independent Dealers Say They
Are Refused Ice-East Side
Poor Riot at Pier and
Women Faint.

Mayor Gaynor instructed Police Com.
missioner Waldo last night to investigate
the complaints Of independent ice deal
ers that the American Ice Company is
refusing TO sell and deliver ice TO them.
In his letter containing the instructions
Mayor Gaynor said it was his intention
to lay the information obtained before
District Attorney Whitman. expressing
his opinion that the case as laid before
him seemed to be ''one Of heartloss greed
and oppression" Incidentally, there was
riotng at the ice piers on the East Side,
in which women tainted and some barely
escaped injury.
The District Attorney said last night
he expected a committee Of the inde-
pendent dealers to call upon him to-day
with information which they believed
would satisfy him that the so-called Ice
Trust was guilty Of violation Of the
penal law.
Il shall be glad to take up the matter
with them" said Mr. Whitman, and if
a crime has been committed To lay the
facts before the grand jury. While 1 do
not know yet that the law has been vio-
lated. IT does seem that the methods en-
ployed by the so-called Ice Trust may bc
illegal"
Asked If the trust would have violated
the law if it had made contracts with
certain independent dealers 10 supply
them with ice at certain prices and later
had refused to live up to the contracts.
but had sold them ice at higher prices,
he replied:
Yes. I think if those facts can be
proven thcy will establish violation Of
the law; but | would prefer not to pass
Judgment on the matter until all the
facts are before me. l am prepared TO
take prompt action just as soon as 1
have the information"
The letter of Mayor Gaynor to Com
missioner Waldo was as follows:

The poor people Of the East Side ten
ements were the greatest sufferers.
Yesterday there was a riotous demon
stration Of this fact at the ice piers
along the East River. At the Foster
Scott Ice Company's pier, at Stanton
street. as early as o'clock a crowd be
gan 10 gather, to wait for their share of
Ice.
The night watchman. who usually
leaves the pier at that time, stayed until
40 o'clock to help keep them back. IL
WAS necessary first to stock the ice
wagons and then the pushcarts before
the smaller dealers could be attended to
At least a thousand people had collected
bv q o'clock. and among these more than
half we're women.
Mrs Hoffman. Of NJ. llo Cannon
street. said. describing her experience:
",tv man was sick, and had to go down
o. tho dock myself. with the baby in my
arms. I waited from o'clock until II.
and then when went mp for my piece Of
too tho man i'm the office threw pail Of
water in my face.
Another woman. she said. was begging
~ the mans feet for ice, and still an
other had tainted.
An extra gang of men was required To
hold hack the crowd. When they were
allowed on the pier many of them in
the tam were nearly pushed into the
,vater. Some of the women forced their
yav up on the platform where the Ice
vas being cut. and narrowly escaped
being chopped or hooked themselves.

Matter for the District Attorney.

This is a matter for the District At
torney Of the county of New York 10 take
cognizance Of. but as he has not yet done
so. please send out some II the most IN
telligent men of the force TO ascertain the
supply of ice which the said company has
here i'm the city from day 10 day and
whether Il is restricting the amount which
Il brings TO the city in order to enhance
prices, and the number of independent
wagons which II is refusing Ia supply.
and this information We can lay before the
District Attorney.
The case as II is laid before me seems TO
be one OF heartless greed and oppression,
and vet I do not wish 10 pre-judge. for
sometimes such things are much eNagScrat-
ed as YOU know. | am certain, however,
that the reports Of distress for lack of Ice
in some quarters are not exaggerated.
Please also see the president Of the com
pany personally and get his version. |
am aware that this Is extra work, the do
ing of which the law may not cast upon
you and your force at all, but ! trust II
will be done well, nevertheless. Very truly
yours. w. j. GAY NOls, Mayor.
Rhinelander Waldo. Esq
Commissioner Of Police.
The independent dealers asserted,
among other things, that the trust had
been circulating information among
their customers that any quantity of ice
could be supplied to persons who would
sign contracts agreeing to buy ice eX-
cluslvely from the trust

The Borough Of Queens.

Gov. Dix's removal from office of Bor-
ough President Gresser Of Queens. N. Y.
revives memories Of the old days in that
part Of the metropolitan district before
the consolidation Of the boroughs, when
that which is now Queens, embracing the
Long Island suburban territory, was the
private preserve of John Y. McKane In
New York politics Queens has always
been regarded as the stamping ground Of
the CRATER. Good government has been
practically unknown there from time i'm
memorial. This has been partly due to
the fact that a large portion of the
borough is comprised Of that part OF the
island lying Immediately east OF the
Coney Island district. The settlements
are comparatively small and somewhat
scattered, and are affected by the free
and easy spirit that prevails I'm q resort

grounds of corruption and incompetence
In the borough. The governor does not
find him guilty Of corruption himself. but
declares him TO have been incompetent

Congressional Fame

The New York Tribune calls attention
to the fact that the antitrust law which
bears the name Of a former great senator
from Ohio was not drafted by him. bu,
grew out of proposition made by hin,
for dealing with the trust evil. What is
attributed TO Mr.. Sherman was the work
of several of the Senate's greatest law
yers, each contributing to the shaping of
the measure
The Tribune likewise points out tina,
the famous purchasing clause of the sill
yer act which bore Mr.. Sherman's name
was not his, but compromise feature OF
legislation to which he was opposed As
a member of conference committee he
accepted the clause reluctantly, and /,
made to carry his name. He was
always against il, and was greater in
fiuence In the repeal of the clause years
after it's enactment than Mr.. Cleveland
himself.

tributed to him the important amendment
to the act relating to Cuba which gave
to this government certain supervisory
powers in the affairs of the new repub-
lic And yet this eulogist added,
there are persons who declare that Mr..
Platt had no grasp of large questions,
but was simply a machine politician"
There were two Platts in the Senate at
that time. One was the adroit politician
from New York. who had great capacity
for organization work and campaign
management, but was thoroughly out Of
place in the Senate where he sat a mute
in times of debate. and worked only as
watchful platter-passer when pork was
being divided.
The other. the author Of the Platt
amendment, was a profound lawyer from
Connecticut. who had the ear and con-
fdence of the Senate in all matters OF
legislation to which he gave attention.
Though no orator. he usually spoke to a
full Senate because Of the light he was
accustomed to shed on all the subjects he
handled He took his duties seriously.
and brought to the discharge Of them
full mind, and marked powers of clear
statement. He ranked with Mr.. Ed
munds and Mr.. Hoar on the republican
side of the chamber as a constitutional
adviser and legal authority.
But in the newspaper reading world
the lesser Platt was rated as the greater.
His name appeared in print oftener.
Great shrewdness and great industry
were attributed to him, and in the popu-
lar fancy he became Senate leader.
The real leader of the name was not an
advertiser. He cared nothing for hula
baloo. Jokes were never tackled to him
with view of drawing attention to him.
A press agent would have been distaste-
full to him. He did his work without
show, was satisfied with his standing In
the Senate and at home, which was of
the highest, and died lamented by both
sides.

Pierpont Morgan's Visit.

j. Pierpont Morgan has paid Washing
ton a short visit and returned home. He
came unannounced. and while in town
carried himself with characteristic re-
serve and composure. He is not noisy
man at any time. although the occasion
of much noise in others.
What brought Mr.. Morgan to the cap
ital? The report is he came to consult
an oculist. Trouble serious? 1t is not
stated He is popularity supposed to be
a far-sighted man. At any rate he has
never been accused Of shortsightedness.
Whatever the trouble, he was wise in
running over here for examination and
advice. We have in this town as good
oculists as can be found in the bust
ness.
1t is also stated that during his stay
Mr.. Morgan had his collection Of eye
glasses readjusted." The collection is
probably large. Mr.. Morgan does moth
ing on a small scale. And then he needs
to have his eyes in his head and in the
best condition at all times. Precious little
goes on in the world of big business" in
which in some way and to some degree
he is not interested. A pair of eyeglasses,
maybe. for every emergency.
Well. that is all right. If at this time
Mr.. Morgan needs an oculist in explain
ing his movements he has a perfect right
to employ one. His movements are of
legitimate interest to the public, and the
public expects an account of them. He
is not an idle man at any time. He does
not run about for mere excitement or
change of scene. He has been every
where, and met everybody worth while.
Washington is an old acquaintance He
has been here many a time, and Is likely
to come "a many q more"
About business Mr.. Morgan Is quoted
as being in easy frame of mind. The
country is all right. as he sees things.
What disouietude exists springs from
talk about the governments attitude to-
ward big business enterprises.
If this is true we should be in sight Of
that the government asks of business is
compliance with the law. The road is
reasonably plain, and 1t should not be
difficult to find the middle of it. Uncle
Sans highway. unlike the Jordan high
way. is an easy one to travel when the
rules are observed. When the rules are
violated, the violators should be made to
watch out.
No lawless trust e'er felt the halter
draw with good opinion Of the law. The
prescriptions of Congress must be car
ried out. Public sentiment is as much
behind them today as when they were
enacted, and will remain behind them un-
til they accomplish the full object of their
enactment. Legitimate business cannot
suffer unless 1t is caught in bad com.
pany.

In the governors language, "a large pro-
portion Of the subordinates of the borough
president were corrupt and inefficient"
This Is a severe Indictment, and in or
binary circumstances 1t would arouse the
people Of the borough to vigorous efforts
to rescue their municipal organization
from the grasp Of the professional office
holders and privilege brokers who have
had possession Of 1t virtually since the
consolidation. But, considering the his
tory Of the borough of Queens, there is
little reason for hope for it's redemption
The chances are that the change in Of
fcials will be merely a shift of personnel
and not of principle.

REYES Follows Diaz.
ON the Boston Transcript.

Gen. Reyes has set out on his travels
again, leaving Mexico. he says. in the in
terest Of peace. Some day. he intimates,
he may return to Mexico and resume the
prominence to which he regards his serv-
ices as emitting him. He has sojourned
much abroad in the last two years, Diaz
having sent him to Europe on military
mission to get him out of the way. Diaz
fell while Reyes was very leisurely study
ing French army organization, in Paris.
Reyes came back to look over his fences,
and now he departs because Madero has
fixed things to the exclusion of Reyes.
The departure of the best known military
man Of Mexico is a hopeful indication
that the power of the army to make and
unmake administrations has fallen into a
desuetude wholly innOcuous.
