GATES CHANGES THAT THI TWO COMPANIES AND THEIlt AGENTS HAVE HAISED PRICES AND CAUSED MANY DEATHS. New York, July 14. Believing that many deaths and much unneces sary suffering during the recent hot wave were caused by a criminal con spiracy to control the New York Ice market, District Attorney Whitman has arranged for a Judicial inquiry next Tuesday before Magistrate Ap- pleton, using this method in prefer ence to the grand jury. Whitman believes that while one body of men control the supply of natural Ice and another the artificial commodity, a third group markets both products and creates a famine In order to force prices upward. The Ice trust, learning of Whit man's action, has become panic stricken, and is rushing ice Into the market as rapidly as poss'ble.

The suspect was seen at Puyallup on Wednesday, and, as he answered the description of Peterson, the sher iff was notified. The man said he was going to Sumner to work. His Act Suspicious. Olympla, Wash., July 14. A new suspect in the Coble murdw cape, be lieved to be Swan Peterson, a man who worked a day and a half oa the section at Rainier, and disappeared the morning after the killing, wlth- Ing. His brothers established a com plete alibi. With the dicovery that lira. Coble had been mistreated after she and her husband had been beaten to death with an axe Monday night, the hunt took a new turn. The startling developments today were the discovery that Peterson had not slept with the other section men, but had occupied a room at the Wad dle hotel; that the bed clothes In the room he occupied were blood stained, and that the man taken at Yelm this morning washed out his clothe Tuesday morning as soon as he got to town. As the Coble murder was nlmilar la practically every detail to the un solved murder of the family of Wil liam Hill,-near Portland, on June 9, the authorities believe both crimes were committed by a degenerate, and probably by the Bame man. o Stock Market Steady.
