Doesn't .See "Way Roosevelt Harps on the Ice Trust. NEW YORK, Sept. 30. The World will gey tomorrow! Mayor Van Wyck's answer to the charges of violating the law by investing In the securities of; the American Ice Company will be in the hands of Attorney-General Davies at Albany today Attorney-General Davies will not take any action on the Mayor's answer until Gov ernor Roosevelt returns. Richard Croker today devoted some time to reading the telegraphic accounts of the speech Governor Roosevelt made last night at Kansas City, in which the Governor attacked the New York ice trust and mentioned Mr. Croker and other New York City citizens by name as in terested in it. After reading the speech, Mr. Croker said: "They must be very hard-pressed, in deed, for something to talk about, when jthey attempt to make me or my connec tion with the ice trust an issue. I bought stock in the American Ice Company for the same reason that I have bought other stocks because I thought it a good in vestment. I have been buying and selling stocks for years, and expect to continue doing so, and why does Governor Roose velt make me and others who are inter ested in the trust the target? Why don't he attack th$ Republicans who are in terested In the trust? The officers of the trust and many of the stockholders are Republicans and personal friends of Roosevelt. In fact, they are the very men who were responsible for the nomination and election of Roosevelt as Governor and his nomination as Vice-President. Why don't he attack his friends, who created and maintain the ice trust, and who alone are responsible for the ad vance in the price? Why does ho harp on the ice trust, anyhow? As Mr. Bryan says, the ice trust is purely a local af fair, and is not a National issue at all. The Democrats are engaged in a bitter and relentless -warfare against all trusts, but It seems that Roosevelt can see no harm in any save the Ice trust." HAKKA OK BRYAN.

AN EASY "tfEEK BERLIN J , "' - v SMOOTHEST i MOKTHLY SETTLE- .,,;, "ab-NTS JFOJa years,' Trading: In Stocks, However, Was in r , Favor of the Bears Rise in. Industrials. BERLIN, Sept. 30. The most striking feature of the Bourse last week was the smoothness of the monthly -settlement Not for years -had Berlin seen such an easy September settlement. Yesterday private,-discount fell , which la very un usual at the end of September. The mar ket' expects the Belchsbank to be able to meet, all money demands for the next 20 days without raising the rate, which also Is something of a. phenomenon, not having- occurred before for five years. The Bourse 'was somewhat more agi tated 'than usual during- the- week. A sharp rise In Industrials occurred Wed nesday owing to the scarcity of shares for the carry over. This was not main tained, however, -and the week-closed with this department 'of the market showing .a deallne. - - - ... Generally speaking, the trading was de cidedly in favor of the. bears. Imperral and Prussian funds suffered severely through the announcement that Hamburg had decided 'to raise a loan of 40,000,000 marks, choosing the 4 per cent type. A similar depressing Influence was exerted by the Intimation that the Saxon Gov ernment contemplates a new loan at a higher Interest than the old' 3 per cent The week's decline In Imperial 3s was 90 pfennigs, and in Prussian 3s 100. ' The first quotation oh the Berlin Bourse of the New York German loan was 100. - There were heavy -private arid public sales of iron and coal shares during the week, owing to unfavorable reports' from the Iron centers. Bank notes suffered se verely from a bear attack, the bears argu ing that the banks are overloaded with Industrials now heavily depreciated and unsalable. It Is -also pointed out that the refusal of the" provlncha.l"bankers to "use the Bourse register, which occufred fro. quently during the week, ihust reduce the business of the great banks. The decline In Canadian Pacific and Northern Pacific was followed at the end of the week by a strong recovery, the market being reassured by the ready ab sorption at New York, of the German offerings. ' The .Dortmund Union Iron Works have reconsidered .the recent de cision to Issue new shares to the amount of 10,000,000 marks.. Debentures to the amount of 6,000,000 marks will be issued Instead and the financial press expects the1 5 per cent type.

The .congress served for an excuse for tho Introduction of all sorts of ideas preven tive of ill-health, and culminated into threats and' abuses. This morning It was evident that the delegates had slept hut little over night. They were nervous and , aggressive, and the gathering soon became a pandemon ium, in the course of which the rival camps hurled, insults at each other. M. Ragnol was accused by M. Andrleux of having sold himself to. the other party. He dashed through the ranks of his sup porters and struck hia accuser on the head. When they had .been separated It 'was found that M. Andrieux had been scratched on the hand, whereupon the Guestlsts shouted "Assassin," bounded to their feet and left the Salle Wagram in a body, M. Guerde shouting: "We have no longer anything In common' with mur derers"." The secessionists representing more than 1000 groups and syndicates, met this afternodn In ''the Salle Van tier, formed a congress "of their own and adopted reso lutions condemning the Wagram Social ists and favorable to the Ministerialists.
