TIE entire plant of the Stratton Ice

upon which it is located has been pur-
chased by the Moore Ice Company.
the deal being contaminated last
night Capt T. n. Moore, president
of the Moore Ice Works, and I. Fl.
Moore. secretary and treasurer, have
been in Pensacola for several days
bringing the deal to close.
1t Is the intention OF the new owners
under the direction of s. T. McAdam.
manager Of the Moore Ice Company
plants in Pensacola, to overhaul the
machinery and improve and develop
the plant so as to increase its capacity
to seventy-f1ve tons a day.
The Moore Ice Company's plant on
Garden street has been increased to a
capacity Of one hundred and forty
tons per day which, with the new
plant overhauled will give total out
put Of two hundred and fifteen tons a
day.
Messrs. Moore and associates, in in-
vestinS their money in this plant and
the improvements TO be made have
given evidence of their belief in the
future prosperity Of Pensacola.
Capt Moore and his son are well
known throughout the South as "ioe
kings" having extensive interests in
ice plants In numerous southern cities.
Since they became interested In PEN
sacola their business here has con-
stantlv Increased and the acquisition
of the Stratton plant is merely in
keeping with their policy OF always
being prepared to meet emergencies
and the demands of n constantly grow
ing city.
w. S. Ware, president OF the STRAIT
ton Ice Works, and ]. r. Kellar, the
manager, have been in Pensacola for
many years and the success of the
enterprise is the result OF their sound
Judgment and careful business meth
DDS It is not known whether Mr.
Ware and his associates viii engage
in the ice business in Pensacola or
whether he will enter another line Of
business, but he is an enthusiastic be-
lever in the Deep Water City and his
interests will probably remain here.
The Moore people assume control OF
the Stratton plant this morning.

washington, July S1-Reahirmation
of the Monroe doctrine designed TO
indicate to the powers OF the world
that the United States decidedly dis
approves any foreign M .tary or naval
bases, or any acquisition Of territory
which might be used Tor such pur-
poses on the western sphere, was

is expected tie se1sate will endorse
the con1mitteesa report which, though
directed at the reoas Hfagdalena Bay
incident, proeiaims principles which
are to indicate the position Of this
government
TIE Lodge resolution, which proba-
bly, win be adopted declares that the
United States cannot see without
grave concern any harbor or ad-
vantageous spot IN the Western
hemisphere taken over by a foreign
government or by a foreign corpora
tion bearing close relation to the gov
ernmenI II such occupany would
threaten the commerce or the safety
of the United States.
JAPAN NOT IN EVIDENCE.
A special committee reported today
that 1t had found no evidence that
Japan or any other foreign nation was
behind the movement to acquire the
land about Magdalena Bay, which the
United States considers the most ad-
vantageously located naval base on
the Pacific coast, because of Its reSa-
ton to the western terminus OF the
PananA canal
It was said that the corporation
Offering the lands for sale had ad
vanced the argument that their pos
session would be OF peculiar benefit to
foreign nation. Because of that at
| titude on the part of the persons con-
| cerned in the handling of the Mexican
property, the foreign relations com
mittee decided today to make clear
the position which the United States
takes on what 1t regards as the en-
| croachment of foreign powers upon
the Western continent.
Senator Lodges resolution was as
follows:
Resolved, That when any harbor
or place in the American continents
so situated that the occupation there
on for naval or military purposes
might threaten the communications or
the safety OF the United States, the
government Of the United States could
not see without grave concern the
possession Of such harbor or other
place by any corporation or associa-
ton which has such a relation to an
other government, not American, "a
to give that government practical
power Of control for national pur-
poses"
Senator Lodge said the committee
believed it a propitious time to state
| this governments attitude. No evil
dence had been found, said the report
that japan or any other country was
behind the Magdalena Bay incident
| but il added:
1T appears, however, from the evil
dence that the corporations or per-
sons who have, or claim to have, title
/ to the lands surrounding Magdalena
Bay, have made efforts to form g

TWO LETTERS IN ENVELOPE.


There were two letters addressed to
velope which was addressed in
Graces handwriting. witnesses iden-
titled the handwriting yesterday.
Gene" is the name attached to
both letters. One was entirely type
written, the other written in pencil in
unidentified handwriting.
There was no date on the type
written letter. The other, dated Tues
day night, started off as follows:
My Own Darling Wife: After I
put you on the train today" etc. The
envelope bore the postmark March 8,
4:SO p. m. It was received in Newman
at 2:30 o'clock the same afternoon,
after Mrs. Grace had returned to At
lanta to see her wounded husband,
the same Tuesday night apparently.
Counsel for the defense vigorously
objected to the introduction of the
letters as private communications be
tween husband and wife. When the
court suggested that 1t had not been
established that the letters were writ
ten by Grace, Attorney Rosser de-
clared that the burden of proof was on
the prosecution to show that Grace
did not write them. He was citing
authorities in support Of this conten-
tion when recess was taken.
Solicitor Dorsey endeavored to get
before the jury another letter written
by Grace to Paul Clements, whose
house he formerly leased on Decem Der
2, 1911. Two typewriter experts ex-
pressed their opinions on the witness
stand that this letter and one of the
alibi letters were written on the same
machine. 1t Is contended that this
typewriter was in the Clements house
which the Graces gave up in January.
II expect to show exclaimed ths
solicitor, that this woman premedi-
tated this crime to secure the insur-
ance on her husbands life as far back
as last January" He intimated that
| the typewriter "alibi' letter was writ
ten IN January before the Graces
moved to Eleventh street.
The fun text of the letter written
in pencil, which was very similar to
the other, was as follows:
Tuesday night

you on the train I got to talking 70
an old boyhood friend of mine and
| got left. which will make a day late

Atlanta, Ca, July S1.-The prosecu-
tion rested its case late today IN the
trial of Mrs. Daisy E. Grace for the
alleged shooting and wounding of her
husband. Eugene H. Grace. Mrs. Grace
is expected to go on the stand in her
own defense at the opening of court
tomorrow.
The state played its big card today
when it succeeded in getting before
the jury two letters which 1t is claim
ed Mrs. Grace wrote to herself over
her husbands nickname, Gene" and
mailed as she was leaving for New
nan, to establish an alibi The greet
ing Of the woman to her husband
when they met in the hospital, in
which she asked him what he had
been telling people, and. that they said
he had accused her of shooting him,
was also admitted as evidence. The
state asserts Mrs. Grace did not then
know her husband accused her.
The mysterious letters mentioned so
frequently yesterday were again un
der discussion when court convened
today. L. H. Hill, Grace's step uncle,
was shown by counsel for the defense
a letter written in pencil and asked
If it was Grace's handwriting. Wit
ness said he did not know.
Didn't you identify Grace's hand
writing on an envelope yester-
day?"
Yes"
The witness said he was not sure
the letter in question was written by
Grace because it was signed Gene"
He said every letter he ever saw writ
ten by Grace was signed Eugene H
Grace"
Counsel then endeavored 70 show
the witness another letter signed

could identify. Solicitor Dorsey OBJ
