DARK DAYS FOR VENEZUELA

FORMER NOW DESIRES ARBITRATION
American Government Will Set Per

WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacoa,
March 21. The Veneiuelan government, it
is announced from Caracas, has received
a note from the American minister, Mr.
Boven, requiring an answer as to whether
Venezuela will arbitrate the questions
pending, and sayln.t that in case of a re
fusal the United 8tates will feel free to
take the steps which may be necessary
to secure justice.
The charge d'affaires of The Nether
lands has advised the Veneiuelan govern
ment that Holland will use coercive meas
ures ' In view of the fuct that It has
been unable to secure the release from
Imprisonment In Venezuela of five Dutch
sailors who have been illegally kept In
prison for seven months.
Position of tnlted States.
WASHINGTON, March 21. Ih calling
upon President Castro for an answer to his
proposition to submit to arbitration the Is
sues between the United States and Vene
iuela, Minister Bowen Is acting In ac
coi dance with specific Instructions from the
State department which have recently been
placed in his hands.
Mr. Bowen made a proposition of this
kind to the Venezuelan Foreign office sev
eral months ago and there was an ex
change of notes on the subject. Its fur
ther consideration was cut eft by the ab
rupt departure from the capital of Presl
denf Castro at a moment when his own de
cision was required. The Venezuelan gov
ernment at that stage had made a counter
proposition , to Mr. Bowen looking to the
arbitration of the dispute by The Hague
tribunal, but with the important qualifica
tion that the tribunal should arbitrate as
a preliminary the question as to whether
or not the United States government had
the right under International law to inter
vene at all as between the Venezuelan gov
ernment and American concessionaries for
their protection. This was construed here
as an attempt to bring into play the old
Calvin doctrine, which the United States
has repeatedly refused to accept In Its ne
gotiations with the southern republics. So
Mr. Bowen reported to the State de
partment the fact of President Castro's .de
parture and asked for instructions. These
were prepared with great care and after
Attorney General Moody had, upon call of
the president, as the highest legal au
thority in the executive branch of the
government, furnished tin opinion to the
effect that the proceedings In the Venezu
elan courts, involving the ssphalt com
pany's properties, were so Irregular as to
amount practically to a denial of justice.
Therefore, Mr. Bowen was told to renew
his proposition for a free arbitration of
the Issues between ' Venezuela and the
United States at the first opportune mo
ment, and this it appears he has now
done. Beside the New Tork & Bermu
dese asphalt case, there are three other
matters which are suggested as proper
subjects for arbitration, namely, the
Critchfleld claim (also based on an as
phalt concession; the claim of the Orinoco
8team Navigation company, based on a
violated franchise, and the claim of the
newspaper correspondent, Jaurett, for
damages arising from his summary expul
sion from Venezuela.
If President Castro rejects this last offer
of, Mr. Bowen to arbitrate these cases it Is
expected that he will promptly report that
fact to the State department, and It will be
determined what course to pursue. The
minister's presentment of this matter,
therefore, Is not an actual ultimatum, for
the way is still open for further negotia
tions if the department decides that the

To the People of Nebraska:
There Is an attempt now being made by the combined railroad, line elevators and
line lumber yard interests gathered at Lincoln to cause the enactment of a law known as
HOUSE ROLL NUMBER 255 by which the taxes of the people will rarely be increased,
and the home administration of their county expenditures for bridges will in part be re
moved from the hands of their local authorities. NO SIMILAR LAW HAS EVER YET
BEEN ENACTED BY ANY STATE IN THE UNION.
THIS LAW IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LUMBER AND GRAIN TRUST
NOW OPERATING LINE ELEVATORS AND LUMBER YARDS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE, and to the end that such trusts may inflict upon the tax-paying public of this state
the same heavy exactions they are now inflicting upon the people of this state In their
lumber purchases. Preliminary to accomplishing this purpose they must have some law
through which they can wipe out the business of parties engaged in furnishing material
and constructing bridges in this state. This they have found in House Roll 255. Not
withstanding the large amount of money spent for bridges, none of the men engaged in
such work have ever been able to acquire more than a moderate competency in such busi
ness." This is of itself the best guarantee of the fidelity and care that has been used in
the expenditures for bridges by our county officials now charged witli the care of such
matters.
r , Engaged in an unequal fight at Lincoln with these combined trust forces Is Robert
Z. Drake, owner of the Standard Bridge Company. WE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF
THIS STATE TO HELP HIM BY THEIR ADVICE, SYMPATHY AND ANY OTHER
HONORABLE MEANS TO PREVENT THIS INIQUITOUS MEASURE FROM BECOM
ING A LAW.
We are, in the interest of lionest home administration of home affairs, and always
in the interest of fair play,

time haa not yet arrived to wthdraw its
minister and adopt some coercive meas
ures. Relnrtant to reeree.
There Is a great reluctance on the part
of the officials to the adoption of the latter
course, but the situation Is believed to be
such that unless the department Is willing
to submit to the complete effacement of
the American claims some action must be
taken very soon. The reported arrange
ment whereby ' President Castro, through
his agnt, Senor Velutlna, has agreed to set
apart SO per cent of all Venezuelan customs
receipts outside of the ports of La Ouayra
and Port Cabello. to satisfy British and
German bondholders will. If consummated,
it Is feared make It Impossible to secure
a single cent from Venezuela for the pay
ment of any Just American claims, for
there would be no surplus, the remaining
60 per cent of the revenues being required
for the support of the Venezuelan govern
ment. Mr. Bowen's arbitration proposition Is not.
It is said here, dependent in any way upon
the proceedings In the Venezuelan courts
In the future relatlTvto the asphalt case
and it Is believed that he haa moved
quickly, as reported, and without waiting
for the courts. In order to forestall a rati
fication of the foreign bond agreement and
conserve the rights of the American claim
ants so that they will not suffer therefrom.
Position Taken by Force.
PARIS, March 21. The Foreign office
says the French minister at Cararas has
not presented an ultimatum to Venezuela
and no French warships have been sent
to Venezuela. The statement to that effect
results from the publication In the london
News of the dispatches saying the pre
sentation of an ultimatum had been fol
lowed by the dispatch of two warships.
The officials here are surprised and dis
pleased at the reports, which they con
strue as tending to force the hand of
France Into a more aggressive and bel
ligerent policy than anything France con
templates. Intimations are made that the
United States occupies the best position to
send warships, owing to the length of time
the American controversy with Venezuela
has been pending, whereas the French
controversy has been of recent origin and
has not yet been decided by the courts.
The instructions sent to the French min
ister at Caracas ' directed that diplomatic
representations be made relative to the
holding tip of the vested rights of the
Cable company, but did not contemplate
threats or any ultimatum, as the authori
ties say the affair has no gravity calling
for -steps of such a warlike character.
Up to noon today neither the Foreign
office or the Cable company had received
the expected decision of the Caracas court
upon the French Cable company's con
cession. The council of ministers met this morn
ing and Foreign Minister Delcasse length
ily explained the status of the negotiations
with Morocco, but the authoritative state
ment regarding the proceedings of the
council does not mention Venezuela. This
means that no action will be taken, pend
ing the receipt of Information as to the
Caracas court's decision.

STANTON, Neb., March 21. (Special.)
The little son of Carl Kautzman, a butcher
of this place, has been missing since Mon
day night. The children had been out
watching the militia at practice at the
armory, which Is Just acroos the street
from the Kautzman home. When the older
children were sent to bring them home,
little Carl, a lad of 6 years, could not be
found. A search was organized and con
tinued throughout the night.
For a week a man who gave his name as
John Olsen and claimed to be from Omaha
had been working for Mr. Kautzman, doing
his butchering and other work.. Monday
night he drew his wages and quit. He, too,
was missing. Tuesday morning he was
seen leaving the Kautzman slaughter house,
near the river, and a little, later the boy
was also located there and brought to town
by John Protovinsky, the miller, and re
stored to his parents. The little fellow
showed the effects of a night of discom
fort and grief and was not In condition to
tell anything. An hour later the man was
located and taken charge of by Sheriff
King and locked up. The night of sus
pense was especially hard on the parents,
considering the fact that there l a baby In
the house at. the time only 9 days old, and
the mother was not In condition to with
stand such anxiety. There are some who
entertain the opinion that Olsen Is certainly
Insane, as there could have been no motive
for carrying off such a child unless it had
been to annoy the parents, which seems improbable.

your condition make this unfailing test at home; Just let a tumblerful of morning
urine stand 24 hours, and if it becomes cloudy, or particles float about In it, or If
a reddish brown sediment forms, It la positive proof that your kidneys have been
diseased for mouths, and unless properly treated at once, Brlght's disease, dia
betes, uric acid and blood poisoning with fatal results, will surely follow.

of great weariness and lack of energy. Some days I'd feel fine; others oppressed
snd out of sorts. The doctors admitted that they didn't know what ailed me, but
gave me something and said I'd lie all right in a day or two.
However I got no better and began taking advertised medicines, but without re
sult. Finally I Insisted upon knowing Just exactly what was the matter with me.
and the doctors made a thorough examination and declared I had a deep seated case
of Brlght'a disease. Their treatment had no effect, so 1 determined to place myself
In the hands of the Warner Safe Cure doctors, who analyzed my urine and found
my kidneys In a critical condition. By their ordws I dropped everything el and
began taking Warner a Safe Cine. It did me good from the first. Th pulna stop

by the time I had finished four bottles every trace of kidney disease had dlswppeai ed .
and 1 have not had the least trouble from that day to this. 1 cannot say too much
in praise of your grand medicine."
