CITY WAS NEAR
ICE FAMINE
Cool Weather Relieved Situa-
ton, Which Was Becoming
Serious in This City

The cooler weather of the past
few nights and days has proved a
blessing for this city, for up until
the change in temperature the city
was confronted with an ice short
age which the various dealers fear
ed could not be relieved. Accord
ing to the dealers today the cool
weather has reduced the demand
for ice and this has enabled them to
find enough ice to supply the trade.
The shortage is brought about by
the open winter of last year which
made it impossible for the large
wholesale ice concerns to obtain
their usual supply. Much of the ice
coming to this city is from Bear
Creek, Pennsylvania and the supply
there, it is said, is far below nor
NAL.
During the summer the e. j.. Dor
sey and Sons Company has been
bringing ice to this city from its
plant in Tottenville, but this supply
was not sufficient to meet the de-
mand. The plant is capable of pro-
ducing thirty tons a day.
So serious was the shortage, the
management of Castles Ice Cream
Company's plant here was doubtful
if the plant could continue In opera
ton. This concern although having
a private ice plant. finds it impossible
to manufacture enough ice for its
use and purchases an additional sup
ply from local dealers.

THIS MAN WON
HIS OWN CASE
Jury Disagrees in Case Be-
tween Garage Men--De-
fendant is Own Lawyer

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. Is
No agreement could be reached by
the jury trying George w. Ainscow,
Lincoln highway garage man, in the
county court yesterday on an as
sault and battery charge preferred
by John c.. Bowers, a Metuchen gar
age owner. This decision of the jul
rors was counted as a victory by the
defendant who represented himself
in this action.
Like a real lawyer he paced the
court in front of the jury box
in summing up his case. His re-
marks were deliberate. In referring
to Assistant Prosecutor John E.
ToClan, he said, that Irishman, Mr..
Toolan, is one of the ablest and
brightest attorneys practicing in
Middlesex county," This statement
brought applause from those in the
court room and Judge Cleary was
forced to tap the gavel for order.
The defendant told the court that
he could have pleaded guilty to the
charge and be fined SIS or $50 and
thus save counsel fee, but hat a re-
gard for the law and his one hun
dred per cent Am%ericanism prevent
ed his taking this action. He said
he would not make a liar out of
himself. The defendant also stated
that the prosecutors Office should
have seen that he was not indicted
as he was carrying out their orders
at the time of the trouble.
Ainscow was charged with strik-
ing Bowers following an automobile
accident near the formers place of
business. II is said the wne of
one of the automobiles in the acct
dent went to the Bowers garage to
have his car towed in and that
while away Ai7scow received orders
from the Prosecutors Office to tow
the car. The arrival of Bowers at
the scene while Ainscow was at
work was followed by a heated ar
gument during which. it is said, n
blow was struck.
