ICE PLANT AMAZED MosLEMs.
Why should Dog of an InfideI Usurp
the Functions of Allah?

That even in this day of general en-
lightenment there are some corners of
the supposedly civilized world where
the wonders of modern invention still
are looked upon with SuperStiuouS rear
has been demonstrated to David M
his birthplace in Mesopotamia from TINS
country, taking with him modern
plant for the manufacture of ice
Mr.. Saaty, whose American home is
in Providence, R. L, has just returned
from Mosul. a Turkish provincial town
ing Story regarding the reception &C
corded him and his plant by the
Moslems.
The new constitutional government
in Turkey assured Mr.. Saaty OF It's
backing. On a site given him on the
west bank of the river, just across from
the ancient ruins of Nineveh, he erect
ed a shed and began operations
His troubles began at the start. HIS
discovered that the operations were be-
ing conducted on unwisely chosen
ground. Beside his building stood the
mosque of the Prophet Elijah, and
across the river was that of Jonas the
Prophet. To the MoEammedans this
was sacrilegN. and Mr.. Saaty was not
long in waiting for enlightenment
When 1t became noised about that MS
purpose was to make" ice, ignoring
Mother Nature, he was informed by the
MOslems of Mosul that he was flying
in the face of Providence. God made
ice, he was told, and an infidel dog who
presumed to do it himself was a med
dler and would be punished as such;
that, in fact, the prophets between
whose sacred mosques he had dared to
intrude his sacrilegious performances
would attend to his chastisement-
When his engine finally was set up
the natives came for a hundred miles
n RI Vic frf I.ol I'd n nd
his machinery. Keeping a respectful
distance, they squatted on the ground,
tier eyes fairly -'ued on the ice works,
continually chanting La ilaha lila
Allah. Allah coll shat kadeer" good
is Godl Almighty God, what a wonder
full thing this isr')
Then when ice had been made and
the attempt was begun to market it the
local W Sc men (aolamas) began a cru
SADIE of opposition The people were
told that the smoke from the infideps
chimney was causing sickness, and a
number of suits resulted. Not until the
government officials took a hand and
Strengthened matters out was the arti-
fcial ice esta blished a commodity
and its manufacture looked upon in the
light of reason.
Then Mr. Saaty could not make ice
fast enough to supply the suddenly
created and widespread dena nd The
native dealers literally fought mong
themselves to get it, Not until the gov
eminent officers had put down the riot
by beating the comhatants was any
thing like order restored.
The natives stsadfastly maintained
that Saaty's machinery had been found
in the ruins of Nineveh. Because OF
tt assurances of the Mohamme dar
priests that every secret and invention
was known to the ancients the natives
believe that all modern innovations

COURT OF HONOR.
Tribunal Without Judge. Jury or Law
yer Is Revived in New York.

New York, Feb. 19-The business
mems court of honor, a court without
judge, lawyer and jury yet recognized
by the laws of the state, has been re
vived in New York after II years.
1t is conducted by tn Chamber of
Commerce to settle disputes between
merchants and so far as known here
there is no other court like it in the
world. The business mems court was
esta blished in 176S and for more than
a century merchants adjusted their
disputes there. In 1874 the legislature
voted salary of $4,000 a year to the
official arbitrator of the court and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the court passed out of 0~istence.
Several months ago a movement was
begun looking to its establishment
with the result that several cases have
Just been heard before it.
To try the average case before this
court requires an expenditure of only
$50 CT $50 as compared with the heavy
expense of trials in the regular consti-
tuted courts. There are no appeals.
The court has no means of enforcing
it's DEGREES, relying on the fact that
merchants will not injure their reputa-
lions by Tepudiating their written agree
ment to accept the rulings.

IOUT UlT|MATUM
NE OR | WILL FIGHT
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
THREATENS TO BOLT"

New York, March 27-A dispatch
to the Times from Chicago says:
Col. Theodore Roosevelt delivered
an ultmatum to the voters of Illinois
and the republicans throughout the
length and breadth OF the United
States in two speeches delivered in
this city tonight. Its purport was;
Nominate me or I will go out al
fight the republican party"
The Colonel did not commit him
self on the methods he would use &c
fight the republican party If it did
not nominate him, but he made the
inference plain that IL 1t did not, h
would start third party, with him
self as leader and "the new National
ism" as the battle cry
Col. Roosevelt gave the first intim-
alton of his decision In a chat with
a number of Illinois partisans at the
Congress hotel shortly after his ar
rival in Chicago. Later he repeated
II in tNo.mnute address to C)-K
county precinct leaders.
1--WE want to exercise our own judg-
ment." he said, while urging the pre-
ferential primary law. Il we have
the urinary and the people decide
against us, | will have nothing to say.
If, however, the bosses dominate the
party and decide against us, thea I
will have a good deal to say. 1t is
for you men who are the real polit-
ical power in your state to get the pri-
mary. If you do not get it, then we
must win, anyhow"
The former president was In a fight
ing mood from the moment his train
drew into the union station until he
aboard it again at midnight
and started for St Louis. He had
gone over the returns in the New
York primary before his train reached
Chicago. When he arrived he was
handed a bundle OF kilograms from
his home state, which did not cheer
him bit.
Instead of the comparatively mild
talk on government control OF big
business" which he had prepared, he
devoted most of his time at the au-
ditorum Wicker Park Hall and
Northwest Hall to a bitter attack on
his enemies and particularly those
hostile to him in New York.
He raised the cry of fraud over the
returns from New York, which show.
ed the decisive victory for Taft
He called the methods OF his party
in Indiana brutal and indecent. He
talked in a similar vein about the Col
orado results and denounced the fight
