ICE COMMISSION
 MIXES DATES AND
 BIDS ARE DELAYED
Ice Plant Project is Delayed Through Misund derstand-
 ing of Commissioners.

Bids were to have been opened by the Municipal ice plant commission at noon today for machinery for the proposed plant, but through some misund none of the mem bers of the commission appeared and the bids are still in the hands of George M. Baldwin, clerk of the board of contract and supply. Five firms bid for the contract to furnish ma chinery for the plant and representa- the bids opened. Clerk Baldwin with and then went out to lunch
 He tried to get various members of the commission on the telephone, sout without success The bids were ad- vertised to be opened at noon and whether or not they can now be legal ly accepted is questioned by some of the bidders. The latter were very much put out at the failure of mem bers of the commission to appear. They said the bids offered are on prices for material now existing. but that these prices are liable to be much higher within a, short time due to the skyrocketing of prices on all metals because of war conditions.
 The members of the Municipal ice plant commission are: Alderman Win cent s. whitney, chairman; Timothy 5C. Cumming, Frederick w. Hall and Attorney Israel J. Cohn.i Members of the commission today blamed Alder man whitney for his failure to notify them that there was to be a meeting to oDen bids

COURT REBUKES
 MOLL CHILDREN
 FOR DISSENSION
Judge Miller Refuses to Al low Removal of Gustave
 As Conservator.

In a decision handed down today Judge Paul L. Miller denies the peti- tioh of Theresa A. oberly and Lilly Thorpe for the removal of their brother, Gostave Mon, as conserva- tor of their mother, Theresa Mon. The petition was brought to the court on July 20, 1915. Since that time more than a--score of hearings have bitterly contested.
 The animosity displayed between the brother and sisters has led Judge Miller in his finding to remark that such conduct is unscem1y and inn proper in view of the fact that the life of the mother is fast approaching it's close.
 Judge Miller finds that the contro- versy between the brother and sisters has no place in the passing of judg- n1ent on the petition. He finds that their insane mother under the care of her son is having proper care in her old age.
 Attorneys Delaney and Nobbs ap- peared for Gustave Mol1 and Attor- neys DeForest & Klein for the sisters. In part the judges finding is as fol- lows:
 'tThe incompetent, Theresa Mo11, is an old women 90 years of age ana of marked peculiarities. She has for a number of years suffered from a mild form of insanity which causes her to be antagonistic to strangers, to forget her relationship, to her own children, and to busy herself in home1y tasks without reason in what is defined by pr. A. R. Diefendorf, ex- pert witness for the respondent, as 'occupationa1 deliriun.' She lives in the Moll homestead, in the northern outskirts of the city, the only home, practically, she has ever known. Gus tave Mol, the conservator, lives in the same house with his wife and family. The incompetent has her own room in an addition or ell of the main the main portion of the homestead. She has been accustomed all her days to plain living and a hard, rigorous, outdoor life. She has been kept by the conservator in surroundings to which she has always been accustom- ed, and has had plenty of food and such simple comforts as she would undoubtedly Grave, were she able to choose for herself.
 s'There is no substantial evidence before the court-of abuse by the con servator of his ward. On the other hand the evidence of credible wit nesses, such as Dr. Diefendorf, Rev. Clemens, Dr. Ryan, Mrs Burgess, De- tective Doo1ey and of numerous neigh bors all tend to show a contrary state of affairs and in fact a comnendable solicitude for the wards welfare by her son and conservator.
 Mrs. MoIl has been failing since February Prior to that time she was physi sically active. She now has a trained nurse in addition to constant medical supervision.

Peasant Life Tn Palestine.


 The actual peasant life of Palestine has not greatly changed since Bible times, and every village today boasts of it's upper room, or guest chamber, where the men meet and chat about the local news. These guest chambers have been in vogue since the days of the patriarchs. Farming, of course, is the principal occupation. The Pales- tine farmer soTs first and blows after ward, las a rule. He scatters the seed over the ground by hand and then blows it in. The blows are very primi- tive and are driven, ns rule, by oxen. A farmers field is not marked off by fence as we understand the term. In the mounta inous country lands are inclosed by loose stone walls, still call ed by the ancient Hebrew name Jedar, and on the plains by thorn hedges. When the open fields are owned in dividuaIly the boundary lines are in dicated by deep furrows, in which at intervals stones are laid as landmarks. It is therefore readily seen how easily these boundaries could be changed by an avaricious neighbor, lundeterred by the Mosaic warning. ''Cursed be he that rempveth his neighbor's land. marks
