pressed themselves today as pro
foundly shocked at the unex-
pected verdict of manslaughter
returned against her and three CO.
defendants in Honolulu yesterday.
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, a cousin
of Mrs. Fortescue, said that she
was too terribly upset" to discuss
the verdict. which was to her a
profound surprise.
She said:
st have not heard from the
island as yet and / am waiting
for news before talking. 1 can
say, however, that never
dreamed the verdict would be
other than not guilty. 1 know
the family will do everything
in their power to obtain the
leniency recommended by the
jury"
Other friends of Mrs. Fortescue
and her daughter, the former
Thalia Fortescue, described the
mother and daughter as martyrs
to the cause of womanhood.

NORFOLK, Va, April 30
QN.S0.-Departure of the yacht

With Curtis, chief of the Nor
folk negotiatorS, aboard the Mar
con are Edwin B. Bruce, retired
Elmira IN. " banker, and Lieut..
George L. Richard, Navy flier

various other missions in connec.
ton with the case.

the fact that two new telephone

The Monticello is owned by Col.

IN AUTO.
YESTERDAY
BY 2 MEN
Neighborhood Laborer, Absent
From Work Today,
Is Sought

Police today are searching
Washington and it's vicinity for
Isabel Wolfe, II, of 1929
Fourth st. N. W., who disap-
peared from her home shortly
after 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
They suspect the child may
be kidnapped.
Detectives are working on a
report that the girl went for an
auto ride with 25-year Id work
man employed on a building
project a block from her home.
Workman Disappears
The suspected man, it is re-
ported, failed to appear for work
today. It is also said that he
changed his residence recently.
Isabel is described as being
exceptionally mature. She is a
brunette, with black hair, and
wore a brown dress when last
seen. She did not take her coat
or hat.
Isabel and a playmate were
seen to get into an automobile
and go for a short ride about
1920 yesterday morning. Both
girls returned before noon.
Joins Man in Car
About 1890 Isabel was seen
getting into the same cat, parked
at the corner of Third and
Emerson Street Northwest. by
Alec Queen, 42O Canal st. S. E.,
and Melvin Wright, 218 Second
st. S. E.
According to Queen, a man
was in the machine, apparently
waiting for the girl. The car dis
appeared out New Hampshire
Avenue toward the northwest.
Police are investigating reports
that two automobiles, one of
them taxicab, had been seen
in the neighborhood of the girls
home last evening. The behavior
of the drivers of both cars
aroused the suspicion of the
neighbors.
The girls mother, Mrs. Severe
Julia, whose husband was killed
in an accident some years ago,
told police she had no relatives
to whom the child might have
gone.

Defeat in House Fight
ISABEL

The fight against proposed
Army and Navy consolidation into
o Department of National De-
fense was opened in the House
today by Representative Charles
H. Martin CD of Oregon, a re-
tired 3rigadier general of the
United States Army, who charged
that the merger would be danger
Gus, extravagant, and would i'm
pair national defense.
Martin quoted Newton D.
Baker, former Secretary of War,
as being bitterly opposed" to
consolidation.
He said the economy COM
mittee report which estimated
that savings by consolidation
would amount to between $780,
100000 and $100,000,000 were
false.
Defeat Predicted
AS Martin began his attack on
consolidation, opponents of the
merger predicted that it would
be defeated by a vote Of to l.
In the opening session, as the
House continued consideration of
the economy bill, it adopted pro-
visions providing for consolida-

Both women were placed
under care of a Navy doctor

ICE TRADE CLOSES
PROFITABLE YEAR
Industry Has, Maintained It.
self by Reducing Costs
of Operation.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 17.-Despite 20
per cent decline in business for its
fiscal year just closed, the billion dollar
ice industry has maintained q pace
paralleling its 1928 volume in a year
endowed with far less favorable eco
nomic circumstances.
Although its volume dropped by one
fifth for the year ending october l, re-
duced operating costs enabled the in
dustry to keep its profits from slipping
to that extent.
Sentiment in the ice business Is
summed up by Leslie C. Smith, secre-
Industries with this statement:
I'VE believe there is no other major
industry which has shown such slight
decline"
The volume Of ice sold dropped from
approximately 100000 tons in the
year ending October /, 1931-the largest
annual sales ever aehieyed by the in
dustry@to about So 600 900 tons in the
fiscal year just closed.
About half the slump in volume this
last year was attributed to loss in car
icing business, resulting from an esti-
mated drop Of 40 per cent in the market
for perishable products. Normally this
market alone accounts for % per cent
of all ice business.
Commercial icing, on the other hand,
has shown almost no decline, but the
private market has dropped most
noticeably in Industrial cities where un-
employment has been great.
Sales for the first four months OF
1882, Mr. Smith said, were ahead Of the
same months in 1881, due principally to
a warm Winter, but fell off appreciably
during Summer months which normally
bring the most business.
Ice prices the association has found,
showed little tendency to drop until
August this year, when rather gen.
eral price decline began.
Sales OF ice refrigerators, Mr.. Smith
said, have shown only a slight decline
this year. About 100000 units have
been sold thus far in 1882. No ice
company which is listed market
organization, he said, has suspended
dividend payments.
The national associations member
ship, considered something of barom-
eter of conditions in the industry,
now totals 1900, compared with the
highest in its history, 1874, in 1928.
