ICE COST JUMP
IS EXPLAINED BY
ALOCAL DEALER
Increase Necessary, Says John
S. BeII-Denies Any Whole
saIers' Agreement.

Declaring that it had become neces-
sary for his company TO increase the
price of ice TO Independent dealers,
John S. Bell vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Union Ice Com
pany, today took occa sion 10 deny
that there had been agreement of any
kind between the wholesale men. He
added that there is no organization
of wholesalers now existing, nor had
there been since 1906.
"The increase is ma dc for several
reasons said MIR. Bell. ''The first
and most important is that we are
compelled to. pay more. beginning
with tolnorrow's shipment, to the ice
producers. The second is that the in
dependent dealers are not paying
their proportionate share. We must
increase the price to them a dollar a
ton but what we will be compelled
to do with our other customers we do
not know 3
Mr. Bell said that the Union COM
pany operated only four of the vari-
Gus .ioe-distributing stations through
out Newark There are twenty-five
such stations operated by sixteen
companies and individual owners
There is no relation between them.
The reason that the producers have
increased the price of natural ice, it
| is explained, can be found in the mild
weather that prevailed last winter.
Much less ice was formed and many
of the houses are not filled to their
capacity. it is said,
AS told exclusively in the Evening
yesterday the price to independent
dealers hereafter will be- SO a ton
They have been paying 81 per ton.
1t is said the retail price to house
holders will not be affected

The captain. in reply to questions
stated that there is a hole about
twenty feet square in the foreeastle
below the waterline large enough to
admit an American freight car.
We were in the boats about an
hour" he said. "The ship seemed tc
be settling by the head, and we de-
cided to stay close by until help
which we had summoned by wireless
arrived. While none OF us saw a sub
marine, the chief engineer believes he
saw the wake of q torpedo on the
starboard side. The effect of the
shock of the torpedo striking the
ship was to stop her suddenly. There
was a pereeptible interval between
the shock and the explosion.
We started to return to Liverpool
about 10:30 o'clock the came night
travelling eight knots an hour. The
vessel was twelve feet lower down
by the head than normal, owing to
the water in the hold"
The damage to the vessels upper
