ICE SITUATION IS
 SAME ASLAST YEAR

The ice situation in this city is nearly the same as it was last year The price Is the same notwtthsta nding the very cold weather of last year and the large crop of ice that was har- vested.
 The only new artificial ice plant in town that is working is that of the Home Products Company, formerly the Home Brewery. This plant is turning out a large amount of ice which 1t is selling at wholesale at $4 a ton or % cents a hundred. They sup ply about 100 people in the neighbor- hood who take the ice home with them at the same price.
 Harry w. Walker could not be To- cated today and the party in charge of his office told the inquirer that he ought to know that no one couud talk about Ice but MT. Walker.
 The Bridgeport Ice Delivery Con- pany is retailing ice at 60 cents a hun- dred. This company has a practical monopoly of the retail ice business of the city.

SEVEN INJURED IN
 AUTOMOBILE SMASH

Seven persons were injured, one seriously, when a jitney bus in which they were riding, turned over in Bar mum avenue near the U. M. c. Co.'S
 plant, shortly after o'clock this morning. The accident occurred when Morris Kramer, of 30 Williston street, driver of the jitney, attempt ed to turn his machine out of the car tracks. A wheel snapped off, and
 the big bus overturned.
 Of the 13 people who were riding in the machine, Lester Stowe of 176 William street was the most seriously injured. He received second degree
 burns on both legs from hot water
 which escaped from the radiator, fracture of the right hand and cuts about the head. Stowe was removed to the Bridgeport hospital for treat ment. Others who were only slightly injured, and who received first aid treatment at the U. M. c. c. hospital were: A. R Keft of 529 Washington avenue; H. E.

.JITNEYMEN WILLING
 TO GIVE SERVICE

The jitney. busses of the city run from 5:45 a. m. to 1:3O a.. n., accord ing to Harry Frank, president of the Park City Bus Association, and he further says: 'It Is the willingness of the bus owners to give the public the service they want and when they want it at a five cent fare that ac- counts for the popularity of that method of conveyance in Bridgeport. ]"
 According to MT. Frank the owners of the busses pay more pro rata than the Connecticut company, in taxes and license fees and do not cucumber the streets with rails and hold up traffic by the intern1inaloie repairing of tracks as the trolley company does.
 ''In war time,'' MT. Frank says, "the people should not forget that the jit- neys carried the great number of workmen to and from the intuition factories at times when the trolley service practically fell down and was unable to meet the situation"
 After the severe snow storm of the past winter, for days at a time, the jitneys were the only method by which the people of the city could get around. The statements of the trolley company that they intend to stop operations in this city Aug. 1 is only bunk and propaganda to get public sentiment against the jitneys SC that laws can be passed at the next session of the legislature which will put the jitneys out of business"

ARE NOT HELD
 FOR ROBBERY

Seven persons were taken to police headquarters this morning and ques. toned at length regarding a robbery in which Frank Coza of 109 Pine street is alleged to have lost $500 yesterday afternoon. No arrests followed the investigation.
 According to the story told the po- lice, Coza drew some money from the bank yesterday afternoon, and pur- chased a restaurant. He had $406 left after completing the deal, and started in to celebrate by absorbing some liquor. A short time later he accepted the invitation of a friend to sleep at his house, and awoke to find that he had been relieved of $500.
 A search of the premises revealed a cigar box containing .s3S9 concealed in the bed on which Coza had been sleeping. The ownership of this money was thrashed out at headquar- ters this morning, and all persons im- plicated in the matter were allowed to depart

Milk dealers in this city started asking an extra cent quart today on all grades of milk and this in crease is due to an increase asked by the farmer, according to A. W. Mitch ell of the Mitchell Dairy Co.,, who says the farmers always raise their price in July.
 He said the reason was that July is fly time when the COWS are both- cred considerably more with flies than any other time of the year and this causes a shrinkage in the milk supply Then another reason is that pastures usually burn up during July and farmers are forced to feed their COWS on grain.
