JUDSON CREDITORS LOSE
Referee Files Report in Action
to Recover 100000.

Former Justice John j. Freedman. as
official referee. filed his report IN the
Supreme Court yesterday in the action
brought by the creditors OF cyrus Field

H. Hoadley Judson managed the pool
in the stock OF the international Power
concern. which collapsed I'm 1902, FOR Hoad-
Icy and Joseph Il. Letter
The report Of Judge Freedman said the
allegation Of Judsons creditors that
Hoadley had been holding more than
81 .5co.O)0 worth Of property under an
agreement by which part Of the fund
was TO be applied to tho payment of Jud-
sons debts to Hoadley and that Hoad-
ley still holds part Of the assets to
which he is not entitled was unfounded.
The referee decided that after all the
Judson property had been applied on the
payment Of Hoadley's claims. Judson still
owed Hoadley 1929, AS. This amount has
never been paid
Judson tried 10 make good to Hoadley
for conversions by turning over his assets
to Hoadley. who realized 1850 256, but the
total amount Of the conversions lacked
the s729.475 which the referee said Judson
still owed Hoadey. The report showed
also that the collapse Of the International
Power pool was due 10 the misuse Of the
securities by Judson.

ICE Jumps" IN NEWARK
Householders Must Pay 10
Cents More on the Hundred.

As was expected. the iceman made his
rounds I'm Newark yesterday morning
with his increased price list. but the big
jump in price was a surprise to every
one. The iceman broke the news gently
to the householders, telling them the
scarcity OF the commodity this season
would send the cost still higher before
much OF the warm weather is gone
The trouble started with the wholesale
figures. and precedent was established
when a jump OF from 50 TO s. ton was
announced Most OF the wholesalers
about April ! raised the price from s. and
g. % ton to s..
An advance was anticipated by the re-
tailer1 but many Of them declared that
not in the history Of the business in New
ark did they recall such a big increase at
the outset Of the season. Householders
who were paying from 40 cents to % cents
hundred are now obliged to pay 60
cents. The grocers. butchers and saloon
keepers have been jumped from 20 cents
10 10 cents a hundred.
