FREE ICE FUND
|S|NDORSEDBY
CHARITY HEAD
Sec. McDougaII Also Suggests
Delivery of Ice to Deserv-
ing Poor Families.

Contributions to the Evening Stars
free ice fund will be timely from now
on and will help greatly in allievia-
ting suffering and discomfort among
those who. by press of circumstances,
are forced to exist in hot, crowded
quarters. To these the benefits of
free ice will come as a blessing in
deed
The Evening Stars free Ice fund
has always proven to be very popu-
lar movement In Newark. Not only
has our best citizens and business
houses given 1t generous support, but
the large number of comparatively
small contributions proves it to be a
movement with which the public, gen.
orally, Is in sympathy.
The free ice distribution method has
proven successful. Tickets are dis
tributed through various charitable
associations. district physicians and
hospitals These tickets are good at
any ice depot and the dealer, In turn,
presents the tickets at the Evening
Star Office and their value Is paid him
out of the free ice fund.
Urges People to Respond.
Arthur w. McDougall, secretary of
the Bureau of Associated Charities,
put his stamp of approval on the
good work the Evening Star has
done in distributing free ice. IT'S
the only fund of it's kind in Newark
and l hope the people will respond to
the good work the Evening Star is
doing" he said today. He added:
There is a great deal of suffering
among the poor worthy children of
Newark tor lack of money to buy
ice for their milk by their parents.
| suggest that you go further and
in as many cases as possible to have
the ice delivered py the ice dealers.
You see, many mothers have no ade-
quate way of getting the ice home,
especially where there are no older
children in the family, and by the
time the mother can leave to go to an
ice station the milk may be soured
or the food unfit to eat
The Evening Star thinks Mr. Nc
DougalPs suggestion an excellent one
and will endeavor to put this plan
in operation.
An Absolute Necessity.
1t cannot be denied that ice during
the heated period is an absolute ne
cessity, in hundreds of cases, to keep
the food of babies, children and in
valids In a fit condition, and that lack
of 1t maused much suffering, illness
and death.
Contributions, no matter how small,
are solicited, for the total. number
proves the popularity of a move
ment
The ice fund starts this year with
an unexpended balance from last
years fund of s29s.Ss.
All communications and contribu-
tions should be sent to Free Ice FUND,

SEE WAY CLEAR
FOR AGREEMENT
ON FRYE AFT AIR
Lansing's Note Settles Repara-
tion Question, Washing
ton Officials Hold.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-With the
publication today of the American
note to Germany concerning the de-
struction of the American ship Will
lam p. Frye and her cargo of wheat
by the German commerce destroyer
Prinz Eitel Frederick, interest here
centred in the character of the reply
the German government would make.
The communication asks that Ger
many reconsider her refusal to settle
by direct diplomatic negotiations In
stead of by prize court proceedings
the claim presented in behalf of the
captain and owners of the Frye, and
points out that such proceedings are
unnecessary and not binding upon
the United States, in view of Ger.
many's admission of liability for the
sinking of the ship under the treaty
of 1928.
The note further declared:
The government of the United
States is not concerned with any
proceedings which the imperial Ger
man government may wish to take
on other claims of neutral and enemy
interested parties"
This went far towards clearing the
ground for an agreement between the
two governments.
So far as the Frye note was con-
eerned, officials believed the question
at issue, now limited to reparation,
will be settled promptly.
In Secretary Lansing's absence
from the city there will be no further
action on the protest against British
interference with American sea trade
before the last of this week.

HARRY K. THAW
NEVER INSANE, "
EXPERT SWEARS

NEW YORK, June 29.-Dr Charles
p. Bancroft, head of the New Hamp-
shire State hospital for the insane
and a member of the Federal COM
mission which examined Harry X.
Thaw during his sojourn in New
Hampshire, swore on the witness
stand today that in his opinion Thaw
not only was sane but had always
been sane. DR.. Bancroft testified as
an expert elienist in the jury pro-
ceedings to determine Thaw's mental
condition. Thaws act in killing
Stanford White, DR. Bancroft said,
was not the product of systema
tized delusion such as characterizes
the true paranoiac.
THE killing of Stanford White" he
said, appeared to us a passionate,
impulsive act, growing out of a con-
dition Of mind due chiefly to anger
and jealousy, which was the final cul-
mination of a series of circumstances
that had been bearing down on him a
long time. 1t did not seem a type of
paranoia, but was due to jealousy of
Mr.. White, not to a diseased condi-
tion of mind.
"Thaw knew that White had been
antagonistic to him in an unpleas-
ant way. He wanted to get even with
White. His act was the product of
a sane mind. which, after he had in
dulged in champagne, suddenly lost
control of itself"
"Then you believe Thaw never was
insane7" asked Deputy Attorney
General Becker.
81 do,'' was the reply. Another
reason for my belief is that Thaw ex-
pressed regret for his deed. A para
noiac never expresses regret. He con-
tinual1y tries to Justify the deed and
no amount of persuasion, can con-
vince him that he has done wrong"

ing to estimate.
There was meeting of the board
of directors of the Jitney Service AS
was decided to eliminate the speak
Ing altogether in connection with
the parade. The reason for this was
that after Chief Long had advised
against speeches from the City Hall
steps, because of the possible con-
gestion of traffic there, and although
a change was made to Military Park,
il was not sure that the park could
be secured.
The route of the parade was also
mapped out. The cars will assemble
at Washington Park and thence pro-
ceed north to the Laclawanna depot.
There they will counter march and
proceed south on Broad street past
the -Four Corners and the City
Hall to Lincoln Park They will
then circle Lincoln Park and move
north on Broad street again to Mill
tary Park, where they will dIsband.
The parade will start at 1880 o'clock.
1t was declared by Mr.. Morgan that
this parade will not only voice a pro-
test against the proposed city ordi-
nance for high license from the jit.

CITY PLANNERS
SORRY TO HEAR
OF THEIR END

The action of the finance commit
tee of Common Council yesterday in
failing to provide an appropriation for
the City Plan Commission, and thus
bringing the three-year life of that
body to an abrupt end, came as a
startling surprise to the members of
the commission.
II don't know what we're going to
do about it," said President Austen II.
McGregor today. Alderman Thomas
j. Lee, jr., said at the finance commit
tee meeting that the commission was
a useless body and that the city's
engineering department could attend
to the work.
Mr.. McGregor said about the body's
usefulness: 1--WE thought we were
doing a lot of work and were getting
good results. We have sent out re-
ports that have been favorably COM
mented upon all over the country.
Especially are our tenement house re-
ports and playground recommended
tions looked up to. the latter being
regarded in many instances as a
standard
I'VE don't know what we're going
to do about the finance committee S
action, but of course. IL the Mayor
and Common Council and The finance
committee don't want the City Plan
Commission, why, all right
The regular monthly meeting of the
commission was held last week. Asked
whether the chair would call a
special meeting as a result of the
finance committees action, Mr.. Nc
Gregor said he had not given the
matter sufficient thought to answer.
The commission was established in
1912. and had an annual appropria-
ton of $4,000 a year. which amount
Mr.. McGregor said today was barely
enough
