Annapolis Concern.
DEAL CLOSED YESTERDAY.
Negotiations Had Been on Some Time
Legitimate Raise in Prices to
Follow.

Official announcement was made to-
day of the absorption of the Annapolis
Ice Manufacturing Company by the
PRrlett & Parlett Company.
The deal was formally closed yes
terday and the Parlstt & Parlett Com
pany took charge of the Annapolis
Company's property this morning.
MIR. {. h. Farlett. head OF the parlett
& Parlett firm. today admitted the
mer ger of the companies, but the con
sideration Of the transaction is not
stated.
1t was pretty generally known that
the Farlett g. Parlett Company, which
built an ice plant as an adjunct to
its coal, wood and lumber business
three years ago, had for some tins
been negotiating for the purchase of
the Annapolis Ice Manufacturing
Company In fact, it was reportet
several weeks ago that the deal had
been formally closed. This, however,
proved untrue, as all negotiati ms
We're off until about a week ago, when
the question was re-opeued by repre-
sentatives of both companies.
In the last week there have been
several conferences between Mr.. c.
X. Parlett and Mr.. George E. Schlei-
gelnich, Philade lphia lawyer, who
is secretary of the Annapo-
lis Company, and who, it is under
stood, holds the controlling interest
in that concern, with the result that
the deal was finally closed yesterday
Speaking of the deal today, Mr.
Parlett stated. that as many citizens
of Annapolis well know, the situa-
ton in the local ice business has been
for the last three years, a war Of on
company TO eXterminate the other
from the field II is a bit early, Mr.
Parlett said TO speak of future
plans. bat he admitted that there
would be an increase in the price Of
ice, not however, above a legitimate
busine SO figure, but simply as pre-
walls in any field OF open competition
According to the present plans,
the purchasing company will continue
the operation Of both ice plants, in
order to meet every demand of the
city and surroundings, and it is un-
derstood that the employees Of the
absorbed company will be taken care
of as far as possible.

Will the Court put an end to war!
Certainly not imm sdiately, for thers
have been at least three wars since
its inception. But certainly by point
ing 70 an easy. inexpensive and salts
factory solution Of dispute, the Court
tends to make wars less frequent.
Each case decided is so much more
evidence against war and in favor of
arbitration.
But afteI ell, isn't the eIimina-
tion Of war Question Of the growth
Of ideals, OF the development Of q
spirit OF altruism Our own national
ideals are not yet sufficiently high to
cause Us TO prefer that to which we
are nnquestionably entitled u what
we might possibly get by shrewd
bargaining, TO prefer the highest
tyne Of national honor 10 clever dodg-:
ing for immediate advantage. to
forego the pitiful money consisera
tion that would come from the pro-
posed Panama Canal toll rebates.
That majority Of Congress viii ap-
prove a plain violation of the spirit
Of treaty, will pref not to arbi-
trate for fear that We viii not win,
IS the surest Indication that the ma
jority Of as are not ready for peace.
But the fact that there IL one
man in public life like that wonderful
senior Senator from New York, that
there is slowly developing a healthy
public opinion, are two facts that sug-
gest to me that some time this ma
tion will do something more substan-
tial for peace and arbitration than
make empty declarations.

One Of the patients, James Kirby,

BASEBALL FANS ARE READY.
Season Opens Tomorrow, Navy Meet
ing Maryland Aggies.

Though prevailing conditions of
weather are anything but proDitious
for baseball, local fans are on edge
for the initial argument of the season
in the great national game.
Tomorrow afternoon the Midship-
mems nine will launch on ths season s
campaign when they will entertain
the ball tossers of the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College. The hour fixed
tor the game is 4 o'clock. Prospects
for turning out a strong aggrega-
tion at the naval institution this year
are considered encouraging, though
not so much is expected of the play
ers in the ope hing contest because of
the scsnt time afforded for outdoor
work.
Candidates for the team have,
however, been at work for weeks
limbering up in the armory cage.

mainstay of the box artists last sea
