NEW ICE CONTRACTS.
Rhoades Not to Be Allowed to Supply
 Public Drinking Fountains. st

The committee supplies and printing of the common council in tends to issue call soon for new bids on furnishing ice to public drinking fountains. Mayor Quigley disap- proves of the awarding of the contract to Edgar Rhoades, whose contract for the purchase of the municipal ice crop has been abrogated owing to his financial difficulties. Rhoades has been given the contract to supply the fountains but as he owes the city money Mayor Quigley does not be- lieve it would be consistent to allow him to keep it.
 There is no end of criticism of the decision to sell Rhoades the municipal ice crop, as it is said that if those who had the authority to sell the ice had investigated they would have seen quickly that Rhoades would be un- able to make money on the proposi- ton Tn that event, public opinion says, it would have been an injustice to allow him to close the deal Criti- cism is also heard because those in authority did not publicly call for bids and give others an opportunity to buy the ice. Had this been done, it is believed that matters would have gone more smoothly.

The Failure of the War zone.' (World's Work for June.

E < st~A.3g g < 4N < ! s#N
 The German decree became effec- tive on Febriary Ia. The Lusitania was sunk on May 7th. Tn those 78, days, German mines destroyed shtns in that zone, German mines or tor pedoes destroyed 3 ships, ship Was burned, and torpedoes from German submarines destroyed S1 ships-or 90, ships in all. Of these vessels, 63 were British, 5 were French 3 were
 Russian The rest sailed under neu- tral American Norwegiani Dutch, Swedish, Greek and Danish.
 If this record was Germany's best
 answer to England's policy of star
 walton, it was failure. Ninety ships destroyed in 7S days is at the
 rate of 1 1-6 ship day. Tn 1912, Great Britain had 3,386 sailing ves- sells and 9,672 steam vessels engaged in coastwise and foreign trade, or 13,- 05S vessels Tn all. To destroy these ships at the rate of 1 1-6 ships a day would reuire 11,257 days, or 30 years. 10 months and ' days. (No. allow ance is made for new ships which Britain would build in that time.) In foreign trade alone Great Britain had l242 sailing vessels and 4,12s steam vessels (4,s70 Tn alb. and to destroy these all the same rate would require Is10 years, 3 months and 27 days

APPEAL. FOR GLASSES.

 London, May 31.-While hundreds of appeals for field glasses appear in the personal columns of the London papers in behalf of young officers. at the front, the, followers of the races still have plenty of binoculars with which to view the horses A picture of the grounds at Newmarket, showing the crowd with glasses to eyes fol- lowing the race, appears in one of the London newspapers, while below ap- pears the appeal for these instruments made by Lady Roberts. Commissioned officers must largely furnish their own kit in the British army, and their pay is only nominal. Glasses are nat urally out of the reach of the non- commissioned officers One of the last acts of Lord Roberts was an appeal to sportsmen for glasses for the front and before leaving on his trip to France he wrote a second appeal, which was found after his death.

NEW RUSSIAN LAWS AGAINST ENEMIES
 ! lsEa.salfA.st
Council of Ministers Authorized t. Close Stock Companies Operated
 Within tho Empire.

{ $ '
 Correspondence of the Associated Press ,s.
 Petrograd, May S1. The new Rus sian laws, directed against enemy corporations" operating in Russia, are thus officially summarized:
 The measures authorize the coun- ell of ministers to close stock compan- ies operating under statutes sanctioned within the empire, with the appoint ment of a special board for the liquid- ation of the business in those casts where the actual management is in the hands of subjects, companes or appear to be harmful or dangerous to the state. It is provided, however, that the rights of creditors are not to be infringed,. and that the interests of stock holders tare to be observed as far as possible.
 'sAs an alternative. the council may appoint a special board of manage ment for the business of such a lien companies, without closing them CT taking them over.
 The same regulations are to be ap- piled also to partnerships if any of the full partners are subjects of enemy countries, if it found that the work of these partnerships is harmful or dangerous to the intertsts of the state"
 The codifying of these special meas ures against "enemy" companies and partnerships is presumably done in an effort to restrict illicit trade with Germany and Austria, which has been going on to certain extent through Scandinavia since the beginning of the war.

MINISTRY OF COMMERCE.
Advocated by Association of Trade
 Protection Societies in London.

8 s5-f sisy5 ss London, May s1.-At the annual meeting of the Association of Trade Protection societies a resolution was passed urging the esta blishment of ministry of commerce and expressing the belief that such a ministry would have prevented many of the difficult ties which have arisen during the re- cent months.
 The matter has been taken up by several newspapers and although the question of cost is considera ble it is argued that the work now being done partly by the foreign office. the board of trade and the Colonial office would, if co-ordinated and consolidated in single branch, greatly assist in the extension of British trade and at the same time smooth the contraband diff fculties which traders in almost every branch of commerce are suffering from at the present time.

entry of the place, would throw the
crime upon mysterious tramps or bur
Elars. AS darkness fell he prowled
isrth. assured himself that Harding
had gone. then, prying open the win
'saow, entered and sat waiting b. the
low burning lamp until the sound Of
distant wheels reached his ears. He
had not loaded his weapon yet. having
reasoned that should he be caught be-
fore the act with an unloaded gun he
would be deemed guilty of far less
offense than should 1t be loaded. But
now the time had come.
From his pocket he drew some pow
der and poured II into the yawning
muzzle, laying the bullet upon the Ia
BILE. Next. he must have some paper
wadding for both powder and ball. and
O book lay close at hand. Without
looking at its cover he tore forth q
handful Of leaves and, selecting one,
laid the others aside as he raised the
first piece preparatory to crumplIng II
up and ramming 1t home upon the
powder. AS he did so the words upon
the leaf caught his eye, and slowly he
read:
Thou shalt not kill"
His hand trembled and his face
grew gray. Then in the night without
he heard the beat OF hoofs before the
barn, coupled with the loud command
to whoa" and with a gasp he clutched
another sheet. Before his eyes swan
the words:
Likewise | say unto you, there Is
Joy In the presence OF the angels OF
God over one sinner that repenteth."
Slowly the gun slipped from his
hand, his form relaxed and he sank
into a chair. his head falling upon the
table.
Five minutes later John Harding.
fresh from embarrassing his team,
throwing open the door, started back
In fear and amazement. Then softly
he approached the man who was now
shuddering as he had beneath the
whip. laid the gun aside and gazed at
the mutilated Bible. Upon the floor
he saw the dropped pages. gathered
them up. read them. then slowly un-
derstood.
For the second time that day Hard
ing's hand fell upon the shoulder OF
the other, but this time It was with a
parents gentleness.
Brother sinner" he whispered husk-
lily.

III 9iD had small belief in
1NA signs, presentiments or
S==--@ lunches, but just now
all this was different For he had
seen certain signs that one OF his
shoats had been stolen; had a pre-
sentiment that a certain unworthy
known as "Shiftless Joe" had done the
foul deed, and possessed a hunch that
he was about to horsewhip Joe until
he outsquealed any pig critter that
was ever lifted over q fence on q
moonless night. So. being man Of
deeds as well as thoughts, he took
down his trusty bull whip and started
swampward towards the abode Of his
victim to be.
Now Shiftless Joe was not reckoned
among the 400 of John Harding's COM
munity, and when one 10 told that
there were but 4e0 people in that dis
trict he viii understand that the state
ment has a well-define6 meaning. He
lived alone at the edge Of the big
swamp, fishing in summer when it
was not too hot; trapping In winter
when IL was not too cold; sleeping and
loafing the year around. he was avoid

praying settlement.
II was long tramp from the home

wrath against the slothful sinful be-

raised his fist and smote upon the
wretched door such a blow as Moses
of old might have struck when he split
the rock and bade the waters gush
forth. From within a sQueaky, rat
IKE voice bade him enter, and through
the narrow doorway he crowded.
He glanced around the cluttered
place. From one corner thin, weasel
like figure arose and stood cringing
before the mighty one, fear thickly
spreading his face as he noted the
formidable whip tightly clutched in
the equally formidable hand. Good
morning. Mr.. Harding. Happy New
Year" he said. fawningly.
1T IL bad morning for you, and II

gesture as quick denial leaped to his

roar.
