France Feels More Hopefnl. ' PARIS, Feb. 8. The advices received here from Ambassador Jusserand sum marizing the status of the Venezuelan negotiations at Washington lead the offi cials to 'express a more confident expecta tion ot an adjuatment of the difficulties than at any time previous. The tendency here appears to be toward allowing the allies a month or other brief period for priority for the collection of customs. As it Is estimated that the amount which would thus be collected will not excetd 120,000, It Is considered that it will not Interfere seriously with ultimate equality in the treatment of all tho claimants. It Is further said here that the negotiations have developed a general disinclination to consider a reference to The Hague court of arbitration as a means of terminating the differences.

THE EDITOR'S BRAIN Dld Not Work Well Vnder Coffee. A brain worker's health Is often injured by coffee, badly selected food and sedentary habits.

That the charge that an attempt was made to corruptly influence a member of the committee on naval affairs respecting proposed legislation pending before the house is not sustained. The minority differs with the majority only In ita first conclusion. In other re spects the conclusions are Identical. The committee, having concluded Ita re port, then resumed consideration of the naval appropriation bill.

The witnesses In every esse were questioned concerning the advantage of such a change In the wage scale and all were unanimous in the opin ion that the method waa th only Just one where the vein were flat. Witnesses were called to testify concern ing the alleged restriction .of production, and much evidence waa Introduced regard ing conditions 1n the coal regions during tho strike. Rev. P. J. McMahon, rector ot the Roman Catholic church at Mlnersvllle, said a com mittee of union mine workers called upon him, about four weeks after the strike be gan and tequeated htm to counsel his par ishioners sgainst acts which might bring the strikers and the union into disrepute. Similar advice. Father McMahon aald, waa offered in other churches, with the result that there was no disorder In that vicinity. Mra. J.

Counsel attempted to show that the wit ness had neglected his duty as an officer pf (he law because of his partiality toward the strikers, but he ssserted that he had not failed In his duty. He told ot having been out an entire night among the strik ers' pickets. His object, he said, wa to advise the striken to remain away from' company property and to create no dis turbance. Judge Gray appeared dlssatlefled with th witness' evidence concerning the assault upon a nonunion man, with which McKelvy had been charged. The Julge waa unable to understand clearly witness' description ot the occurrence and displayed considerable impatience. "I suppose it's my fault that I cannot understand you, 'squire," said he, "but I giv It up." Commissioner Parker asked the witness if he bad advised any of the men not to return to work. McKelvy said he had made several 'addresses during the strike and suggested to the men the advisability of remaining firm; Calls Markle' Prices Hla-h. F. J.

' '., "What was General Gobln's attitude re garding the strikers': witness waa, naked., Judge Gray decided1' against th 'ques tion. He said: "General Gobln' attitude was that of a man sent to the plac for th purpose of maintaining order." C. D. Gallagher of Plymouth, a miner In the employ of th Delaware t Hudson, wa questioned regarding the alleged restriction of output. He knew ot no case where th miners were .responsible, but said produo- tlon was limited by th company' failure to furnish enough cars. In answer to questions by Mr. Wstklns, witness thought payment by tho dsy would be desirable for the miners, but something of a disadvantage to th operators because under that method the men would not work as bard as at preaent.
