factories along the river front were sound
ed in salute.

The steamer Is beautifully decorated

and is equipped with steam steering gear,
and Is modern In all her equipment. She
is absolutely fireproof, for except for doors
to the rooms no wood Is used in her con

a heavy northeast wind blowing she did
not careen more than one decree when put
broadsides to the sea.
On her trip up the new steamer made an
average s;<eed of 19 14-10 mils an hour
INQUIRY NOT CLOSED
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION
OF ALLEGED ICE COMBINE.
Conditions in the City Unchanged?
No Advance in Price Since
Early in June.
The Investigation which the government
recently commenced Into the status of the
ice trade In this city Is still being con
ducted. but as yet without definite result.
At the office of the United States attorney
It was stated this morning that the matter
had not taken form sufficiently to determine
what action would follow. When the ex
amination of dealers and others summoned
Is concluded the result will l>e communi
cated. It Is stated, to the Attorney General,
who will pass upon the question of making
any presentation to the grand Jury on the
developments of the Inquiry.
Since the Investlgatkm was started a
large number of retail dealers and r. few
person* representing wholesale firms have
been examined by Assistant United States
Attorney Jesse Adklns, who is In charge of
the matter. The witnesses were summoned
by subpoena.
Regarding Alleged Ice Trust.
The questions they were asked were di
rected toward bringing out information as
to whether or not an ice trust exists In this
city The Increase in prices as shown by
the examination. Is understood to be one of
the main facts established. Whether this
rosults from a scarcity of ice. or whether It
Is the outgrowth of a combination among
wholesale dealers. It is understood >3 still
to be determined.
No Change in Situation.
There has been no change In the Ice sltr
uatlon In the city during the past four or
five days, and the officials of the local ice
companies are still hopeful for the future.
There has I>een no advanye since the raise
in price early In the moAth, though there
Is a strong opinion among the dealers about
the city that another advance will be made
within the next few weeks, possibly about
July 1. At the office of the American Ice
Company it was stated that the company
is yet able to meet all demands for ice and
all orders are being filled as fast as re
ceived. At the Home Ice Company's head
quarters a Star reporter was told that the
company is able to fill all orders from the
output of Its factory und that it Is not now
drawing on Its reserve supply. When asked
If It is proposed to bring any more vessels
here with Ice cargoes, the official said he
thought not. as $6 per ton was being asked
for Ice a month ago In Maine, when he re
ceived the last advices. The price last sea
son was less than II per ton. The com
paratively cool weather of the past day or
two is keeping the demand down and doing
much toward preventing the exhaustion of
the ice supply in the city.
Funeral of Col. Lester.
The funeral of Rufus El Lester, late
representative In Congress, took place yes
terday afternoon at Savannah, Oa., from
St. John's Episcopal Church, ltev. Charles
H. Strong conducting the service there and
at the grave In Bonaventura cemetery,

man who wai found dead In the grounds
at Garfield Hospital at an early hour yes
terday raornlr.f, as stated In yesterday's
Star, reached here front Atlantic City yes
terday afternoon In response to a tele
phone message. She was completely pros
[ trated. and was taken to her apartment
| at the l?gan. Acting Coroaer Glasebrook
made an Investigation of the circumstances
attending the affair, and gave a certificate
showing that death was due to an accident
Dr. Frank Leech, who had attended Mr. j
York was consulted, and the acting coroner
also questioned others In order to ascer
tain as much as he could about the cir
cumstances which led up to the'Ume when
the sick man left the hospital window.
He was told that Mr- York had suffered !
several attacks of Brlght's disease, and
that he had been delirious each time. The
conclusion was reached that while In the
hospital the patient suffered an attack of
the disease, became unconscious and was
not aware what he was doing when he
went out the window.
It was because of the Information re
ceived by Dr. Ciiaxubrook that he reached
the conclusion stated. None of the friends
of the private secretary to Chief Justice
Fuller had entertained the theory that
the secretary had committed suicide. Most
of them knew of his ailment and they
were of the opinion that he was suffering
from an attack and was rendered irrespon
sible before he was killed-.
A brother of the deceased reached here
last night from New Tork to take charge
of the remains and make the necessary
funeral arrangements.
It was decided that the remains should
be kept In this city until Saturday morn
ing. when they will be taken to Vineland,
N. J., the former home of the deceased,
for Interment. Members of Lafayette
Lodge, F. A. A. M.. of which the deceased I
was a member, will probably have charge J
of th? funeral ceremonies hen.
