Ice Could Sell on
 Platform at $2 a Ton
Continued from Page 1.)

Continued from Page 1.) the Berkshire Ice Co. If this was done, the Berkshire Co. agreed to withdraw from the New Haven field. No agreement was reached, how ever.
 Another example of the way in which Harry ". Walker secured con- tro1 of the ice situation in the princi- pal Connecticut cities was heard when Dexter M. Bishop of Meriden took the stand. He was president and general manager of the Beaver Lake Ice Co.,, which was absorbed by the Berkshire Company in 1916.
 The witness said Mrs. Nellie Garlick of Meriden held a second mortgage for $4,50O on the Beaver Lake prop erty. In 1916 she came to Bishop and told him she had assigned the mort gage to a retired minister in Bridge port. Bishop investigated and found that the alleged minister was Charles Beach, a real estate man who was acting for Walker.
 Bishop had several conferences at the Hotel Stratfield in Bridgeport with Beach and the witness claimed Beach had remarked, Walker is pretty well in your property" Beach claimed there was S225 interest due on the mortgage and when Bishop re- fused to pay, foreclosure proceedings were started. As the Meriden man could not redeem the property within the six months allowed by the court, the company's holdings were fore closed. The Beaver Lake plant was worth sS5,000, Bishop said, but Wal ker's agent got it by paying S4,S00 to Mrs. GarIick for her mortgage.
 The hearing was resumed this after noon.

Italian Socialists
Suspect Britisher

ROME, June 12.-Ramsay Mac
Donald. the defeated member of the
British parliament, has been here en-
deavoring to induce the Italian social
lists to combine forces with those of
England and France. His objects are
two-fold:
To insist on the abandonment of
all hostile action against Russia and
Hungary and revision of the peace
treaty as presented to Germany. Jean
Longuct, the French socialist, joined
the deliberations and both he and
Macdonald spoke at the largest meet
ings in Rome and Milan.
The kernel of their speeches was
the same. Longuet said that if the
soviet was defeated reaction woulc
triumph. Macdonald said the inter
national bourgeoisic was ranged
against Russia and "the peace of the
ruling classes does not pledge the
people. We shall prepare the founda
ton of a peace which is not decep
ton"

Hoover Advocates
New Loan Policy

PARIS, June 12.-"This sort of
economic delirium tremens will end
with peace" said Herbert c. Hoover,
chairman of the inter-allied food com
mission, recently, in discussing the
situation in Europe and the need of
financing different nations, Asked
for a statement as to the financial
requirements of Europe from the
United States during the next year,
he said;
81 feel that something like half a
billion dollars assist ,nce from the
American government may be needed
to join with the other Allies in the
reorganization of the currencies of
the new states and to take care of
some particularly acute situations.
"On the other hand, much larger
sums will be required from private
credit for raw material and food, and
in order to secure that private credits
the governments and especially to in
dividuals, should be established, our
government would probably need to
consider some further measures of
encouragement in this direction. The
credit of private individuals and firms
of even the most wrecked states of
Europe is still worth something.
81 do not take it we will finance
any more wars in Europe, directly
or indirectly, nor that we will provide
money to enable the people of Europe
to live without work, or to work part
time, as at present all over Europe
This sort of economic delifium ire
mems will end with peace.
"The surplus of our productivity
could not support Europe of to
DAVIS idleness if every man of Us
worked fifteen hours daily.
"The dominant problem IN the re
habilitation of Europe is one wholly
of credits with which to buy over
, seas. and if such financing can be
= provided, Europe should be on self
supporting basis within another year
"In my view, the largest part o
the credits required from the United
States should be provided by privat
credits and we should, except TO
certain limited purposes, stop th'
I sending of the money of our govern
! ment. Credits next year are requlre'
S for business operations, and whe
governments are engaged in buslnes
/ they always overspend, and hte year
n to come must be years of econom!
e not extravaganza"

Senate Fight On
League Expected
To be Hot Contest

WASHINGTON, June 12.-After
short period of comparative quiet,
the senate fight over the league of
nations appears certain to be resumed
with fury that may eclipse all pre-
vious struggles growing out of the
controversy.
1t is around the resolution OF Sen
ator Knox, republican, of Pennsyi-
vana, proposing to put the senate
definitely on record regarding the re-
used covenant of the league, that the
next chapter of the fight is to be
written, Supporters of the resolu-
ton hope to gather enough strength
to give warning to the Paris confer
ence that the treaty cannot be ratl-
fled here in its present form, an
eventuality which the treaty support
ers expect to fight to finish. Inc
foreign relations committee yester-
day decided to take up the resolu-
ton today, with the prospect that it
will be brought into the senate as
soon as it meets at noon. Although
lit then will go over technically fol
day under the rules, its presenta
ton may be the signal for another
outburst of debate on the subject.

Tell of Americans
Slain by Mexicans

MOUNT CLEMENS, MICH, June
12.-The story of disorders along the
Mexican border, from the first rum
blings of the revolt of Francisco
Madero against President Porfirio
Diaz, in 1909, down to June 29, 1916,
continued today in the hearing OF
Henry Ford's libel suit against the
Chicago Daily Tribune, which on the
latter date published an editorial
headed "Ford Is An Anarchist"
The witnesses were John R. Harold,
immigration inspector at Brownsville,
Texas; E. T. Reynolds, chief inspector
in that district, and Norman Walker,
for twelve years an Ell Paso news
paperman and since 1916 correspond
ent of the Associated Press at Ell
Paso, gateway of most of the news
of northern Mexico.
Harold was the translator of the
"Plan of San Diego" taken from the
person of captured Mexican, Ba-
clio Ramos, in 1915. The document
bore the signature of about twelve
Mexicans, and outlined plan for an
uprising of Mexicans in border states
and negroes in other states, and the
formation of republics.
Mr.. Reynolds told of a railroad
train which was wrecked by Mexican
bandits, who invaded Texas October
Is, 1915. He said all the passengers
were robbed, three killed and five OF
six wounded by Mexican bullets. In
his official capacity, he testified, he
talked to thousands of Mexicans and
learned that sentiment was strongly
anti-American among them. He anC
deputy, he said, had personal en-
counter with. two Mexican editors
whose paper, Gel Democratic" pub
lished in Mantamoras across the Rio
Grande from Brownsville, had pub
lished rabid anti-American articles
and a vicious and unfounded attacl
