Toledo, O., Aug. 1.—After a month of legal quibbling in the common pleas and circuit courts the cases of the icemen are again in common pleas court before Judge Babcock of Cleve- land. Through the action of the circuit court the convicted icemen, after serv- ing two weeks In jail, were admitted to bond.

The point at issue is whether Judge Kinkade, who gave the icemen the maximum sentence, promised them leniency -if - they. entored: -pleas-of- guilty. It is a questign’ of . veracity | - between the judge and attorneys for the ice trust and the attorneys must now produce evidence to substantiate their charges. If they fail the icemen must go to the workhouse for six months. BEARS NO ILL WILL TO ANY MAN. Rockefeller Says Some Things Said of Him Are Cruel and Unjust. New York, Aug. 1—The World says: John D.

You are just a young man, but you can take my word. I am older than you and have seen the world; you can always believe in real men. “As for Europe—well, it is nice, but Ilove my own country the best. Yes, 2ll the hard things that one'’s country- men say of men can never he cruel enongh to offset love of home and country.” After a moment he added: “Now, remember, young man, I bear no ill will to any man. I am confident that there is more good than bad in the world 2nd I am full of the joy of ltving. I bclieve fn men. Do that and the world is bound to seem a good world to you.

Wellington, Kan, Aug. 1—On Washington avenue, the main thor- oughfare of this city, Graham Gibbs, a young man employed by the Santa Fe railroad, blew himself into eternity with dynamite.

Gibbs bought a quantity of dyna- mite, placed it in a sack, tied it around his neck and set fire to a fuse at- tached. Spectators were horrified by the fm- pending tragedy, but were helpless to prevent it. From a safe distance they watched the fire creep closer and closer to the bag. Then, as the wretched young man, seeming to realize his fate at the last moment, desperately strove to tear the bag oft and throw it from him, there was a muffled roar, a terrific explosion and the unfortunate man was blown Into atoms.

Henry Gabriels, bishop of Ogdensburg, N. Y., and John J. McCrane of Brook- lyn, N. Y. The pontiff recalled that immediately after his election the first pilgrimage he received was American. Bishop Gabriels read an address in which he said Catholicism was mak- ing rapid strides in the United States due to the complete freedom which the church enjoyed and the good will of the American civil authorities. Bishop Gabriels quoted President oosevelt as saying to him on learn- ing that the bishop was to conduct a pllgrimage to Rome: “Tell the pope that I sent him my profound regards. I have tried to treat Protestants and Catholics alike, as my latest appointments show. 1 will try to perpetuate this policy. This republic will stand for many a cen- tury. T expect that there will be Cath- olic presidents as well as Protestant. I trust that they will all treat each other as 1 have tried to do.” The pope thanked the bishop most warmly, expressing his great love for the United States and his very high: est esteem of President Roogevelt.

It was there that he told me that he had decided to live apart.” He said that it was impos- sible for us to live happily together and that I would never see him again.

I have never seen him since.” Corey’s Sister Testifies. Miss Addie Corey, sister of the re- spondent, was an interesting witness. She corroborated Mrs. Corey’s state- ment that Corey had deserted his wife and told how she and her mother had made several ineffectual attempts to effect a reconciliation.

He has no home and his assoclates are not fit companions I do not think any New York man is fit to have charge of a boy of his age.” “Do _you mean all New York men, Miss Corey?” continued the attorney. “I mean New York men.” At the conclusion of the trial Attor- ANXIOUS TO CATCH A TRAIN.
