Ice Trust Grips Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, May 2.--Despite the
record-breaking freeze On the lakes
last winter, the price of ice in Min
neapolis yesterday jumped to the
highest figures asked last summer.
The high summer schedule became
effective two full months earlier than
last year, when July 1 was the. date.
With the two principal ice companies
merged, it was declared there was no
chance of a sensational price-cutting
war similar to that of early last sum-
mer. The Minnesota Ice company
was recently acquired by the Ceda:
Lake Ice company, and has moved IT'S
belongings to the Office of the latter
concern in the Plymouth building.
''The Cedar Lake and Minnesota
companies are being operated as one
concern and to all intents and pur-
poses the merger of the two is COM
plete," said J. r. Chute Of the Cedar
Lake company.

Governor of New Jersey Believes
in Honest Leadership of Big
Political Parties.
FIGHTS ONLY THE BOSSES"
He Says the Whole Country 10 Now
Turning to the Democracy and
Looks to It for Future
Success.

There has been much talk by the op-
ponents of Gov. Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey to the effect that he ia
opposed to all political organization.
Whether the governor took cogniz-
ance Of these statements or not, in
his speech at Woodbury., N. J, he de-
clared himself In upmistakable terms.
After announcing his opposition to the
control of organizations by small
groups of men, he said "Organiza-
ton Is necessary to victory. Men
must understand each other and get
used to each other, and therefore they
must organize. One man cannot plan
for party, or carry out party's
plans alone; he must be helped by the
suggestions of others. But an organ
ization must be formed for the serv-
Ice of the state and not to help ind
viduals.
"All over the United States the peo-
pie are organizing and reorganixing.
They are tired of having meddling
middle men interfere between them
and their affairs, and are determined
to take the business of government in
their own hands. But they want union
and leadership They wish to replace
the boss of the past with a leader, a
progressive patriot who will lead them
to prosperity and happiness and good
government.
You can see the treno of the times
In the organization Of clubs to carry
out their ideas. These clubs are due
to the spontaneous desire of men to
get together in the interests of good
government. There are and have been
political clubs formed for the pur-
pose Of keeping certain men in power
who use that power for their own ends
and purposes; but the clubs of which
| speak are not of that kind
The whole country Is turning to the
Democratic party. and looks to 1t for
future success. | am heart and soul
with the organization OF the Demo
cratic party In the campaign we are
about to enter upon. such an organiza.
ton will be needed, and we will carry
the old party to higher levels and
achieve great victory"

At VeIardena They Had TO Fight
Off Bandit Marauders.
SUPPLIES FOR SOLDIERS LACK
Federal Troops in Force on Way to
Engage General Orozco and Allied
Rebels in Lagguna District,
Chihuahua.

WASHINGTON, March 12-The large
number of Amciic and other for.
eigners employed in the mining camps
in the district Of Velardena, Durango
Mexico, have at last been reached by
relief.
They have all been found safe, al.
though they have been compelled to
fight off a number of attacks from
bandits. The American consul at Du-
range City, in telegram to the state
department, announced that tele-
graphic communication between that
city and Velardena has been re-estab-
lished and that he has received a
message from the Americans there to
the effect that they are safe and no
one was killed or wounded during at
tacks. One American, however, acct
dentally shot and killed himself. The
federal troops, which have been long
delayed, arrived at Velardena Feb. 20
and at once took charge of the situa-
ton. There are now 1874 federals in
that district and there is no further
cause for alarm in the American
colony
The consul states that the only feel
ing of apprehension on the part Of
Americans Is the lack of supplies for
the soldiers. He says that they are
being given money and provisions by
the merchants of Torreon and may be
recalled at any time, in which case
the Americans would again be COM
marauding bands.
The first big engagement Of the rev.
olution appears to be scheduled for
the Lagguna district in Chihuahua
Consular reports from that state in
dictate that between 1000 and 5000
federal troops have passed. through
Saltillo on their way to engage Gen.
eral Orozco and the allied rebel bands
that for several days have had prac-
tically absolute control Of the entire
state OF Chihuahua.
