Two Big Leaders.
A peculiar situation has existed In
the electrical refrigeration field. The
leading interest, taking full advantage
Of Its start In advance Of competitors.
has galloped of with between 80 and
80 per cent Of the entire business Of
the country. The demand for electri-
cal refrigeration units has been re-
markable, but when the 40 per cent
or less which remained for competi-
tors Of the leading interest was split
up among them. only those most
economically run, efficiently managed
and adequately financed could see
their way to a profit.
This situation, of course, Is gradually
adjusting itself. It seems Inevitable
that some Of the weaker factors in the
industry must go, for 1t Is assured that
the two most powerful factors In the
industry between them now are making

Ice Producers.
BY J. G. ROYLE.
Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK. February 21.-The nat
uraI ice harvest of the country today Is
in full swing, with indications OF q
short crop and extraordinary demand.
T,cvelopments in the refrigeration m
dustrv have proved beyond question that
competition Is the life of trade.
The popularity OF electrical ana gas
refrigeration plants. instead OF curtall,
ing the sales and profits OF the natuIai
and artificial ice companies, mas M
creased them. This Is due TO the 1act
that American citizens have been ecu
Gated by the electrical refrigeration SAFES
promotion campaigns on the necessss
for year-round refrigeration IN homes
and in industrial plants "nere pei'on-
ables are handled.
After being handicapped by one OF
the worst Summer seasons In the MS
torv of the industry, ice sales In the
Fall and Winter have established new
high record. Last years business ap-
proximated $3.50, 100000, according 10
Dempster McMurphy. chairman OF the
national committee of the National AS
sociation of Ice Industries.
Seen in Statements.
This trend is easily discernible In the
financial statements of the Leading m
tcrests in the industry, which handles
both artificial and natural ice over a
wide territory. Net earnings OF tnls
company we're approximately ,0OO.-
600 larger in 1927 than In 1926, and the
January sales were substantially higher
than in January, 1927. The company
not only increased its regular dividends.
but declared an extra dividend, which
was paid January IS.
Bankers closely affiliated with the
natural and artificial ice industry de-
clare that the organization OF manu-
featuring and distributing properties in
the centrally controlled groups has had
a highly important influence on the
prospects of the ice companies. There
now are over 5000 artificial ice plants
in the United States, many of whic!
represent small companies supplying To-
cal markets. These offer great posi-
bilities for economical mergers. several
of which now are in process OF devel-
opmcnt.
Consumption Is Increasing.
Per capita consumption of ice Is
showing continuous upward trend. and
1t is estimated by refrigeration engi-
neers that consumption will reach 1000
pounds of ice per capita per year with
In tte next seven years. The average
consumption today Is around 400 pounds
per capita. Engineers believe that only
40 per cent of the potential markc,
has been developed.

EFFORT TO CUT OUT FROM CELL
 IS FRUSTRATED
Al Larson and Jack Nit chell Implicated in Ef-

An attempt to cut their way out of jail by Al Larson and Jack Mitchell yesterday after two bars of the small. inner tank had been sawed through and a start made on the third il was made known today by Chief |. s. Deputy Mar shal J. r. Slater. l. was ap- parent that the two men planned to bluff their way past the guards by an imitation revolver found in the tank.
 The sound of a saw rasping on the cell bars gave the operations away. Deputy Marshal Phil O. Herriman heard the saw and a search revealed the damage to the bars, and uncovered a small saw about four inches long wired to a makeshift wooden handle, a bogus automatic revolver made from a small tin can once contain ing a popular brand of smoking to- bacco, a skeleton key, a nut-pick and two small pieces of iron or steel hammered and shaped into the form of chisels.
 The tobacco can had been elev- erly fashioned into the shape of an automatic revolver, the bottom being used for the butt. and the lcng portion of the can, cut and rolled into a barrel shape. IL was then covered over with black insu- lating tape, the gleam of tin from the muzzle lending a realistic touch to the gun" The nut-pick had been used by Mitchell to re- move a leg iron from one of his legs.
 Larson, who was being held in jail awaiting sentence by Judge E Coke Hill for assault with a dan- gerous weapon, will have about five years in the Federal peniten- tiary at McNeil's Island, for which he leaves tonight, to mediate or his part in the affair.
