TAFT SENDS IN
 SHARP MESSAGE;
 COMPTROLLER BAY

Washington. July 21-In terms of the most bitter denunciation for those who fin the intensity of their desire to besmirch all who invest' in Alas ka operate upon the minds of weak human interests and prompt fabri- cations of false testimony President Taft, yesterday. told the Senate his yer sion of the circumstances leading up t. the entry of harbor rights on Con- .reller Bay Alaska, by Richard s. Ryan and in virulent investive repu- Giated the famous Dick to Dick" let tsrs.
 The message was almost Roosevelt ian in its banding of the shorter and su2lier' word .
 The acrimony of spirit and the, in tense malice that have been .engen- 6ered in respect to the administration Of the government in Alaska and in the consideration of the measures pro- posed for her relief and the wanton : recklessness and eagerness with which attempts have been made to besmirch {, the characters of the high officials having to do with the Alaskan gov ornment. and event of persons not in public life present a condition that calls for condemnation and requires that the public be warned of the de- moralization that has been produced by the hysterical suspicious of good people and unscrupuious.Rnd5 corrupt misrepresentations of the wicked. The helpless state to which the credulity of some and the malevolent scandal mongering of others have brought the people of Alaska in. their desire for it's deTeiopment ought to give the pub lie pause.
 The message denied any secrecy to the executive order opening up the Controller Bay lands to entry; declar- ed that the public interests were pro- tected by the limitations of the pres- ent law and asserted that it was be- yond range of possibility that the Norgan-Guggenheim should desire to control Controller Bay when they al- ready had expended vast sums for a
 The ''Dick to Dick" letter declared by Miss F. M. Abbott to have been in the government files. alleged by her to be a message from Dick Ryan to Dick Ballinger, former secretary of the interior, mentioned Charley Taft brother of the Pres iient as being involved. The Pres ident says it has never been found in the files of the department.
 President Taft brands the letter as ''viciously false statement and "a wicked fabrication,'' and defends his brother.

Face Serious
 Ice Shortage
 In New Haven
Dealers Relying on Shipments for Most of Supply, with Houses Nearly Bare, Owing to Hot Spell Demand

\ New Haven, July 27-According to dealers New Haven is now facing a serious ice shortage, with the possi- bility of famine if the weather is very warm during the months of August and September. For the past month practically every dealer in the city has been importing ice and now they are having difficulty in getting it in this way as a result of the great demand from all over this section of the country. The bringing into the city of ice by freight is usually very small during July, so that this years showing is exceptional.
 Whether or not this shortage will mean a raise in the price, the local dealers would not say, but this would seem to be a natural consequence of the situation.
 If the weather remains fairly cool the dealers think they will be able to cope with the shortage by getting ice from out of town, but if another hot spell like that recently passed should hit the city they are afraid the time would soon arrive when they would be unable to meet the demand.
 Henry l.. Harrison of the Hygienic Ice O., said that the ice shortage was general all over InlS part Ol luo country. He stated that the three big ice concerns in the city have been inn porting ice for over month. He said he expected no famine unless the weather became exceedingly warm in the next two months. He said that the loss of the 5000 tons of ice in the big fire in their houses in Westville would naturally tend to make the sit uation more serious.
 B. F. Milner, of the Elm City Ice company, said that his company was importing from two to four carloads of ice day and has been for several weeks. This is the earliest they have ever had to start importing ice on such a scale, he said, and attributed the shortage to the recent hot spell. During the hot spell the demand was almost double the usual demand and while it lasted as much ice was used as would have been in six weeks in the fall.
 Frederick L. Mead of the Crystal Ice company, agreed with the others that the ice shortage is serious, and said that his company was bringing in two to three carloads a day.
 It is stated that the ice crop last winter was as good as usual as re- gards quantity, but fell below the usual quality The dealers estimate that about 800 tons of ice are con- stunned in the city daily and during very hot weather nearly 1000 tons, and at this rate it would take just about three weeks to clean out every bit of ice in the city if no more could be secured from outside. The dealers are holding back a small supply in the event of an emergency such as failure to secure outside ice for any reason for a day or two, but no such outlook of nearly empty ice houses has been seen here at the end of July for years past.

 "A Sacred Farce" is pointed Out by our State street contemporary to- day, which mentions Connecticut base bail games and band concerts on Sun days and then quotes the following section of the statutes:
 Sec 1870. Every person who shall be present at any concert of music. dancing or other public diversion on Sunday, or on the evening thereof. shall be fined not more than four 6oI- lars.
 Perhaps this law was enacted in 1s57 to regulate the Indians and the next year made to apply to the Purftsns. as was mentioned by our corTespoH- dent yesterday.

KIDNAPPING Is
DENIED BY JUDGE
Proceedings OF Mcnamara
Hearing We're Legal.

Indianapolis, April 27.-It seems hard
for the leaders of organized labor to
realize that J. J. McNamara, secretary
treasurer of the International Associa-
tion of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, has passed beyond the point
where it is possible to reach him through
legal process and force his return to In
diana.
Judge Collins. of the Police Court, who
turned J. ]. Mcnamara over to the, de-
tectives after his Identification as the
man named in the warrant, made his
first statement in the case to-day.
There is no way>i in the world in which
anybody can sustain a charge of kidnap-
ping in this matter, he said. Every
move made in which I had part was IN
strict conformity with the law. The gov
ern3r had honored the requisition of the
governor of California for Mcnamara and
had issued the warrant. Mcnamara had
been arrested and had been brought be-
fore me for the sole purpose OF identii-i
cation. McNsmara himself admitted his
identity and said he Was the man named
IN the warrant When this was done.
