INJUNCTION OUT TO PREVENT CITY
 USING ICE PLANTS

Cincinnati, July 3-Seven non-union ice plants, seized by order Of Mayor Henry T. Hunt, were being operated, today, by the board Of health in an effort to relieve the suffering caused by the strike of engineers. firenen, drivers and helpers The ice making machinery of the different plants were in charge of, striking engineers and ffremen who were ordered to return to work by union officials under an agreement made with the mayor. It Is not the intention of the city officials to deliver the tce but any one can ob- tain it by applying at the platforms of the ice companies or at the fire houses.
 The first step by the ice nanufac- tl1rers to regain possession of their plants was taken by the Cincinnati Ice company which applied to Judge StpgeI in the common pleas court for an injunction to restrain the city from treepassing further on the prop erty of the company The petition asked that @ temporary injunction be granted and that it be made perma~ nent.
 Mayor Hunt has sent a message to Attorney General McReyno1ds, urging him to order an investigation of the Middle State Ice Produce Exchange, claiming that it is a combination in restraint of trade.

Krasnye SuppIants
 Dr. Davis As Night
 Ambulance Surgeon

With the temporary replacement of substitute night physician George A. Davis, with another doctor following the complaint that unnecessary de lay was occastoned in the visiting of patient in the police cells last Sat- urday night, a situation which is like ly to be placed before the local char ities board has arisen.
 Denial that pr. Davis had been sus- pended was emphatically made by Supt. Fred Johnson, this morning, who said that such was not the case as Davis was not regularly appointed, having merely been substituting for Dr. J. w Parker, the regular night physician.
 That the matter of pr. Parker's ab- sence, however, may come before the board on Monday next was strongly intimated. It was learned that he has now been absent from the city for a period of about four months, and rumors that he intended abandoning practice in this city have not been either confirmed or denied though on at least one occasion he has been com- municated with in an attempt to as- certain definitely his intentions. Un- til the meeting of the board, pr. J. F. Krasnye has been temporarily assign ed to substitute for pr. Parker.
 In speaking of the case this morn ing Supt. Johnson said that numerous COInpfa1nCB, many or Wn1Cn were not 'substantiated had been received rela- tive to the emergency service in gen~ eral and upon specific complaint being received that Henry Jupp, who died of deIirium tremens at Bridgeport hos- pitaI late Tuesday night, had not re- ceived immediate treatment when an attempt to call Dr. Davis had failed until a second summons was sent to his room, he had taken the matter under observation. This resulted In Dr. Davis being temporarily replaced while a further investigation was made. It had not been definitely de- cided that the services of pr. Davis were to be dispensed with.
 On all sides this morning the high est praise for the work done by Dr. Davis was heard. It was the prevail ing belief that exhausted by strenuous work Saturday night, pr. Davis had failed to grasp the seriousness of the case anG had first answered while but half awake. Reference to the emer gency records for June show that of total of 145 calls made in the depart ment Davis responded to 49, there be- ing .25 calls before midnight and A after that hour. On June 1 he was awakened five times between znid- night and o'clock in the morning, four times on the 18th and three times on another occasion
