ICE EXCHAN0E WILL NOT FORM A TRUST ATLANTA, March 13.—The propo sition considered by the Southern ice exchange at its annual convention here today to form a combination for the orneflt of the trade In Southern States was defeated, eni no effort will be made, according to the decision, to raise prices or fix uniform rates. Tho reasons which brought this decision were that legU'atloa and put-ic -en- ttm»nt are t-.. 0 strong against combi nations In the South; that condition* affecting manufacture vary too much in different communities, and whac would be a reasonable price In one place would bo loo low In another, and that maiufaetu.vrs refusing to enter the combination, would make it impossible to maintain prices. The anti-trust leg's'atlon In the Southern States were diicuswed at length and severa y *rit!j*sed, altnougn its effectiveness was tacitly admitted by the action of the exchange today. The convention will cone ude its ses sions tomorrow.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 13.— In an interview here Dr. Nicholas Mur ray BUtler, president of Columbia University, said: “President Roosevelt will not run for President again, no matter what pressure is brought to bear upon him. The principles for which Roosevelt stands are greater than the man. The Republican party must support these principles, no mat ter who its standard-bearer may be, at the next election. With Mr. Root as President, and Mr. Taft chief justice of the Supreme Court, conditions would be pretty nearly- ideal. But I hardly look for such « combination to succeed.” SISTERS OF CHARITY SAP SIXTY INFANTS TO CITY STOCKADE HE WAS ALSO FINED $100 FOR ASSAULT ON EDITOR GRAVES AND BOUND OVER. ATLANTA, March 13.—J.
