changed his plans when the summons
was served, and said tonight that he did

When asked If he or Mrs, Eames
cared to say anything about the suit for

make any statement at this time
There is a good deal Of suppressed ex-
citement among the ladies at the army

suit has been brought. There will be at
least dozen OF them summoned to tes-
tify to the language of Mrs Eames
when she charged Lieut.. Reed with hav-
ing gotten the money which the investi-
eating committee traced to Hull, and
they are loath to become parties to the
affair, even in this way. 1t is said at the
post that there are ten or a dozen men
who are familiar with the circumstances
Of the investigation and It's results, and
that no blame could possibly be attached
to Lieut.. Reed. The latter has said to
friends that he would not have brought

ICE DEALERS FEAR
TO OFFEND TRUST
Stay Away from the Meeting
Where Criticism Is Made.

New York, July 16-Ice retailers held
an experience meeting this afternoon in
Concordia Hall, East Forty-f1rst street,
and supplied Assistant District Attorney
De Ford and Deputy Attorney General
McQuaid with tales of the policy Of the
Knickerbocker Ice Company. the sue
cessor OF the American Ice Company.
The meeting was poorly attended. At
least 200 small dealers were expected,
but only fifteen showed-up. Some of
these said there would have been a
bigger turnout If many retailers had not
been afraid Of getting on the bad books
OF Knickerbocker and the other COM
panies that distribute ice here.
The substance Of the talks made by
the dealers was that the Knickerbocker
worked a double-edged system in in
creasing business. In the first place, said
the dealers, the Knickerbocker has been
sending out wagons which supplied ice
to consumers at a price much less than
small retailers had been able to make.
Secondly, the Knickerbocker has been
refusing to sell ice to small retailers
affiliated with Independent distributors,
no matter how much the hard-pressed
retailers offered. The result Of this
policy was that the small retailers have
not been able to- hold customers. They
could not compete with the Knicker-
bocker's house-to-house prices, and they
lost business because they could not get
at the Knfckerbocker's docks enough ice
to meet the demands of their trade.
District Attorney Whitman Is going
ahead in the investigation on the theory
that the American Ice Company, which
was convicted in 1909 Of restraint Of
trade, has reproduced its methods in the
Knickerbocker, its successor.

NOW BEGINS WEEK
OF TARIFF DEBATE
Both Democrats and Insur-
gents Seeking Credit.

The Senate will enter upon q week of
tariff debate to-day. Canadian reciprocity
will be voted on next Saturday under
the terms Of the unanimous consent
agreement. The debate in the meantime,
while generally addressed to the tariff.
will take wide range. It is not to be
confined to the question Of Canadian
reciprocity alone. With a definite date
fixed fora vote on the wool bill and the
free-list bill sent over by the House, the
whole tariff question is before the Senate.
Senator La Follette's second and sue--
cessive installments of his tariff speech
are yet to come. Some of them will be
delivered in the Senate this week
The Senator from Wisconsin is likely
to play an important part in the consid-
GRAFTON OF the tariff legislation from now
on because Of the prospective coalition
he has formed with certain Democrats
by which he expects to put up to Presi-
dent Taft a bill revising the woolen
schedule. The Senator from Wisconsin
declares that the criticism uttered
against his measure by Representative
Underwood, CHAIRMAN OF the Ways and
Means Committes, is not well founded.
The Senator says that his bill does not
give duty Of over 60 per cent on raw
wool, but is slightly over 40 per cent.
The situation is very much involved.
Plainly the Democrats are willing to be
made a tail to the Presidential kite Of
the Senator from Wisconsin. They are
doing a little business in the Presidential

the Democrats would Hike to have the
privilege Of making the issue.
The Democrats In the House are grad
ually coming around to the view that
they should pass a few bills lowering
duties on articles in common use before
they adjourn. or the insurgents will go
before the country with the claim that
the Democrats were given an oppor-
tunity to join with them in relieving
the burdens from the recessaries Of life"
and refused to do so. 1t was to
meet this possible issue that the Demo-
Gratis in the House got busy and ar
ranged to vote on the cotton bill before
the date set by the Senate for the vote
on the free list bill
One Of the doubtful questions raised
by the tariff uncertainty Is the matter
of the adjournment OF Congress When
the Senate agreed to take its last vote
on August on the pending measures in
that body, It was the expectation that
Congress could adjourn by August 10.
But the predictions as to an adjourn
ment now range from August Is to Sep

Of the matters leading UP to the bring
ing Of a slander suit by Lieut. Walter
Reed. Of the army post, against the wife
of Capt. Eames came to light to-day,
and with the story Of the irregulari-

of the purchase OF many kinds of sup
plies. and the cost of which is about $780,
900 a year.
Lieut. Reed discovered that something
was wrong, and the resulting investiga-
ton showed that Hull had appropriated
about $500. He was charged with taking
the money and steps were taken to pros
ecute him, but 1t was finally concluded
that the entire sum would be lost II Hull
was prosecuted, and when be repaid the
$500 the matter was dropped.
Hull was discharged, and his present
whereabouts is unknown.
Capt. Eames and his wife were Just on
the point of leaving the city when sum

With twenty-four separate investiga-
tions now under way before special and
standing committees of the House Of
Representatives and the nine members Of
President Taft's Cabinet in demand as
witnesses in connection with Democratic
attacks on the Republican administration,
official Washington is in the throes Of a
party probe such as has not been seen
here in nearly forty years.
At that time, when the first Demo-
cratic Congress since the civil war was
enjoying power, the Democrats turned
loose with inquisitorial powers, Just as
they have done during the present spe-
ciaI session. A reign of terror was
created in the National Capital, and as
a result of the Investigations Secretary
of War Belknap was impeached, jobs
were abolished, salaries reduced, and a
terrific cut made in the annual expendi-
lures.
To listen to some of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the House just now would be to
believe that the big storm Of nearly
forty years ago was merely a zephyr TO
the cyclone that is now gathering as q
result of the labors of the Democratic
fnquisitors.
Probers Were Discouraged.
AS matter of fact, however, the
Democrats were exceedingly discouraged,
up to a few days ago, at the lack of
success that had attended their labors in
the probing line. Most Of them were
confident that after sixteen years OF Re

But as a meier of fact the steel and
sugar special committees and the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the State De-
partment were the only three that up
to last week managed to stir up suff-
cient interest to secure any considerable
amount Of publicity, and IN this connec>
ton 1t must not be forgotten that the

New York, July 16.-Every one at all
familiar with the stock market or f1nan-
cial affairs is aware that there are al
ways two factors influencing the effect
Of news developments in a security mar
ket at any particular time One OF these
is the character of the news, the other
financial conditions at the time the de-
velopment occurs. and neither one Of
these matters is secondary in Importance
to the other.
There are times when the most favor
able news. and possibly receiving in
creased force from the fact that 1t is
unexpected, fails to bring about any ad-
vance in security prices and is even
followed by recession, because. as the
event proves, speculative commitments
for the rise in the market are already
fully extended and the buying power
underneath values is exhausted.
&. So, too, adverse events, or what seem
to be such, Of new and surprising sort,
often fail to depress values at all be-
cause they come into a market where
speculation for the rise is at a minimum
and where actual holders of stocks are
In mood to hold onto their securities
no matter what happens. Whatever diff
ference of opinion may exist among peo-
pie as to the future course of the stock
market, or whether the business of the
country is to have a bad time or a good
time during the remainder Of the year,
there is one fact probably upon which
most sensible business men IN the
United States are now substantially
agreed.
Resist Adverse Influences.
This is that prices and the business
situation are in shape to stoutly resist
Influences making for depression. The
stock market may not advance violently
in the near future, but it shows the
beneficial results of thorough liquidation
