JOSEPH HENKIN AND WILLIAM
G. LARSON THE PUR-
CHASERS.

Joseph Henkin and VIM. G.. Lar
son, the latter a we'll known engineer
for the Milwaukee, have very recent
ly associated themselves together in
a business way and launched out in
what is new venture for both of
them. They have taken over the
ice business formerly conducted by
]. e. Haley & Son. The new firm
will be known as the Madison Ice
company and Mr.. Larson will have
personal charge Of all the work con-
nected with the storing, handling and
selling of the commodity so useful to
us in the heated summer periods.
1t is the intention of the newly
organized company to place in their
storehouses a larger tonnage than
has been found there previously in
order that there may be no short
age.
The ice harvest is now on and
Messers Henkin and Larson expect
to put at least fifty men to work on
taking the crop from the lakes.
Mr.. Haley and son, George, the re-
tiring proprietors, have been engaged
in the ice business for several years

MOVE To END
PEACE PACT
SENATE FACTIONS STRIKE
NOTE OF CANCELLATION.

Washington, d. c., Dec lex
pressions that seemed to point tow
ard reopening of the peace treaty
fight within few weeks were voiced
on the senate floor yesterday when
the subject bobbed up in the midst
of consideration of the railroad bill.
The symposium of views what
went into the record during the brief
debate included opinions from virtu-
ally all factions of the divided SEN
ate membership, but they all struck
note of conciliation. Differing
widely in their suggestions for a solu-
ton, they stood together on the gen.
eral proposition that politics ought
to be forgotten and that he senate,
acting independent of executive opin-
ion, ought to do something prompt
ly to end suspense and establish a
state of peace.
The discussion reflected the trend
of negotiations which have, been in
progress privately among senators
for an agreement that would get the
question finally out of the way.
There was increased activity in that
direction during the day and some of
the leaders predicted some formal
action early in the new year.

|. ". ". CASE IN
HANDS Of JURY
THIRTY-TWO DEFENDANTS ARE
ACCUSED OF VIOLATION OF
THE ESPIONAGE ACT.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-The
case Of thirty-two members of the
l. w. w. on trial in federal court in
Kansas City, Kan, charged with vio-
lation Of the espionage act went to
the jury late yesterday. A verdict,
if reached. will be sealed and will
not be announced until 10 O'Clock
this morning
In the closing arguments yester-
day. government attorneys pictured
the defendants as members of a dis
loyal and un-American organization,
doing their part in a great conspir-
acy to cripple the war making pow
ers OF the government in 1917, with
the ultimate purpose of overthrow
ing the existing social order and es-
tablished government. Their alleg-
ed activities in the oil fields of Ok
lahonla and the wheat fields of Kan
sas were described to the jury.
Attorneys for the defense describ-
ed their clients as victims of a tyran-
nical attempt to suppress freedom of
speech and thought, and appealed to
the jurors, as natives of the state
where John Brown fought for free
dom, to uphold the constitutional
rights of the defendants.

after a battle in the air with a huge
vulture which broke propeller of
his machine and fnrre@ o land
on a plateau in the mountains.
Lieut.. Poulet left B.ngnon, Siam,
December 6, two hours after Capt.
Smith. and direct word of his fate
had been lacking until last night
when he landed here in his machine.
In relating his experiences, he sa
he noticed the vulture while flying
at an altitude of 1000 feet above
Siam mountain peaks. The vulture.

aircraft, which was making little
speed because of weather conditions.
then dived straight downward and
shattered the right propeller.
Lieut.. Poulet searched the noun

FOR TILT
SUGAR PRICE DUE
EXPECTED TO SELL FOR 20
CENTS OR BETTER SOON.

Sioux City, Dec. 1S.-Sugar at 20
obtain early in the new year by con-
servative merchants who have been
devoting attention to trade condi-
tions.
Within a few days the wholesale
price of sugar has advanced 20 cents
a hundred pounds. Sioux City re-
taller shave made no advance, but
continued ascension of the jobbing
quotation would compel them to do
so.
Retailers are limited by govern
ment action to profit of 1-2 cents
pound. Should federal supervi-
sion be withdrawn merchants say
sugar would advance to hitherto un-
known heights.
Secretary d. A. McGee has called
meeting for tonight of the Sioux
City Retail Merchants association at
which the sugar problem probably
will receive attention.
The raw cane sugar crop in Louisi-
ana was sold at II to 10 cents a
pound by the producers, said Secre-
tary McGee. Retailers in many parts
of the country feel that they are en-
titled to greater percentage of
profit than they are now receiving.
Sioux City is dependent for supply
upon the beet sugar production of
the west, the crop of which is re-
ported to be somewhat limited. A
shortage in the west would newt
ably work price increase, it is stat
ed. The extraordinary consumption
that marks the holiday season is
quite likely to produce a shortage of
a serious character. Reports of the
crop coming to Sioux City are not as
favorable as they might be.

KILL SHIPPERS ON SIGHT.

klIIlI SNlPEItS ON SIGHT.
The Americans encountered but
little resistance at first, but sniping
against the Americans soon began.
After one American had been killed
orders were given to hunt the Shippers
and kill them on sight. In the mean
while the American field artillery
opened bombardment from the Ell
Paso side against the race track east
of Juarez, where the Villistas were
entrenched. At the last reports the
American advance was going we'll.
AS soon as the safety of Ell Paso
and its citizens are assured the Amer
ican troops will be withdrawn, it was
announced.
The Fifth and Seventh regiments
of United States cavalry drove their
mounts through the shallow waters
of the Rio Grande. Col. Selah Tomp-
kins of the Seventh cavalry COM
manded the cavalry brigade. He di-
rected the enveloping movement
against the race track, following up
the barrage of the American artillery,
which. as intended, cut off the Willis
tas there from escape.
The American crossing was made
with typical Yankee dash. Within
10 minutes after the orders had been
given to advance, the troops were en-
tering Juarez. Preparations were
made with the same thoroughness as
those for night raid ON the western
front in France, but on smaller
scale.
The Americans found Juarez filled
with dead and wounded Mexicans of
both factions, while the non-com-
batants covered in their adobe
homes. Fighting had been raging in
Juarez intermittently since late Sum
day, when the rebel attack opened
against the Carranzista garrison. The
dead were lying in distorted attitudes
over curbings, and dogs were prOwl-
ing among the fallen Mexicans. The
white Cross" hospital in Juarez
was caring for 80 wounded rebel and
federal soldiers.
