Ice Trust Case
to Jury Today
Attorney for State Says Combine Has
Sixty Million in Paper and Twenty
Thousand Cash Capital.
NEW TORR, Deo. 10. A Jury will decide
'omorrow whether the American Ice com
pany shall be dissolved for conspiracy In
restraint of trade or shall continue Its
tervlcea to 1,000.000 consumers. John B.
3tanchfleld summed up for the defense
today ar.d Jamea W. Osborne for the
state, began his closing argument late
today. . i
Mr. Stanchf leld laid stress today on the
site of the company, which, he aald, made
It a quasi public Institution, Inasmuch as
Ice Is virtually a necessity of life.
"Tha trial bristle with evidence," he
continued, "that there la no monopoly of
the supply and, In view of Increasing ar
tificial production, can never be."
Mr. Osborne arjrued .that no company
should serve 8,000,000 customers with a
neceeslty of life.' A' thousand dealers In
competition were not too many, ha thought,
for eo huge a market. . "
."Thla corporation," he aald, "had $00,
000.000 of -paper and K cash capital of only
IJ0.000. Then they go ahead and offer
J40.0CO.00O of paper to secure $40,000,000 of
competition and ask the public to pay
dividends on tha wind and water. And
what la their - defense? That It waa a
foolish thing to try. to create a monopoly
in ice, because it could not be done."

WASHINGTON, Dec .-In a decision to
day, the Interstate Commerce commission
uggesta that when railroads make ape
lal. excureJon rate to state or county fairs
or to large state meetlnga the rate be
symmetrical with other rates of a similar
kind. '
The matter arose In the case of the
Weber club .and Iotermountaln Fair as
sociation of Og den, Utah, against tha Ore
ton Short Lin railway and other common
carriers. It la allegd the defendants dis
criminated against' Ogden and in favor of
Hhlt Lake City, because they charged more
for excursion tickets to Ogden than ttiey
charged to Salt Lake City for Ilka ex
cursions. " .
After consideration of aLl the facta, the
commission held that bo Undue preference
had been shown Bait Lake City, but It sug
Ktstad that the carriers Establish a uniform
passenger rate of H cent per mile each way
to atata and county fair a, Under tha law,
however, the eommiaslon could make no
absolute requirement that Its auggestion be
followed. - .
