THE ICE TRUST
RIB PRICES
-Mayor of St. Loui« Say* He Will
Take Over the Plante,If Th#y
Are Not Good.
ST. IX>UIS„ July 18.—Because.
the hot spell of the past three weeks
the ice trust have been steadily rais
ing the price of ice until today it is
twice what it was at the beginning
of July. The city authorities have
notified the trust that unless the
price is cut in half immediately the
police will take charge of the plants
and manufacture the ice and will al
so distribute the ice brought here
in boats from up river points.
The district attorney has already
started an investigation and may ask
for the indictment of the officials of
the ‘rust for violating the anti-trust
law. The manager issited a state
ment today saying that the raise in
the price of ice was necessary be
cause of the large loss during the
intense hot weather, as fully one
third of the load is lost during dis
tribution and that this heavy loss
accounts for the present high prices.
The people, however, are inclined to
think that the high prices are regu
lated by the necessity of the citizens
for ice.

a large increase in wages, have ap
pealed to the government for aid and
have asked the federal authorities to

granted the increased burden will
force the roads to ask for an increase
in freight and .passenger rates.
The engineers and firemen, how
ever, have refused the offers of me

unless granted the Increase demand
ed all roads west of Chicago will be
closed down. Because of the attitude

Eastern Judy Hold Dr. Carman’s
Wife for the Murder of
Mrs. Bailey.
MINEOLA, N. Y., July 18.—The
state grand jury in session here in
vestigating the murder 6t Mrs. Bai
ley, ofBrooklyn, who was killed in
the office of Dr. Carman, today re
turned an indictment of murder in
the' flrst degree against Mrs. Carman,
the Wife of Df. Carman, in whose
house the murder was committed.
The woman was immediately released
oh bail of $20,000, as the doctors cer
tified that if kept in prison she would
become a physical tvreck in a few
weeks.
Many friends of the woman have
offered her financial aid to fight for
her life and several of the best .
known criminal attorneys have been
retained to make her defense. It
is generally believed here that no
conviction will follow because of the
relations which are now believed to
have existed between the doctor and
his patient, which w'as disclosed to
Mrs; arman when she installed a
dictograph in his office and over
heard 'he conversation between Mrs.
Bailey and her husband.
