"WASHINGTON. April l.-Senor Velos
"Oottlcca, charge d'affaires of Veneauela,
called today on Acting Secretary Adee and
handed to him, as a mere matter of refer
ence, a translation of the decision of the
federal district superior court rejecting the
motion to dismiss made by the New York
and Bermudes company in the action
against said company by tha nation to
compel it to pay damages to Venesuela
for Its participation In the revolution cabled
"llbertodora." The text contains some
rather startling statements, the faota set
out being In aubatance as follows:

ground for action, because under article La
or thj penal cod In esse of crimes against
J Me national powers any and all proceed

thj suit.
Finding; of the Court.
1'pon motion of the attorney general, the
court of first Instance rejected the motion
to dismiss and the case came before the
superior court of the federal district on
appeal. In passing upon this motion that
court remarked In substance that "Upon
the definite conclusion of the alliance be
tween the New York and Bermudes com
pany and the chief of the liberating revolu
tion (General Matos). when the latter was
In New York In June, 1901, the company
began to supply him with the necessary
funds to carry on the revolution. Presi
dent Francis C. Greene of the asphalt
company went to meet General Matos in
Paris In July to contract for the purchase
or a steamer and other necessary elements
of war. Greene went to London and Glas
gow to examine several steamers on sale,
and returning to Paris he drew through
tho Credit Lyonnais, on the Seaboard Na
tional bank of New York, of which bank
Oreene was a director and where the trust
to which the New York and Bermudes
company belonged, kept US account. Said
draft, amounting to the sum of 100,ooo,
was ordered to be paid by Mr. Hewall,
secretary of the trust, who directed his
cashier te charge that amount to an ac
count under the name of 'government's
relations,' which contained without details
all the money expended on Venezuela. A
few days later a draft for $30,000 was drawn,
paid and entered in the same manner. A
few months later, as the results of
Qreene's work In Europe, the fatally cele
brated steamer. Ban Rlgh. whose history
of piratic depredations is known to all,
' rame to the coast of Venezuela, carrying
ton Immense amount of munitions of war,
and having on board the chief of the revolu
tion. "The, wonderful campaign, during which
the present chief executive routed and put
to flight the armies of the revolution, was
not sufficient to oonvinee the company in
reference of the total failure of Its plana
nor to make It abandon Its purpose, be
cause after the celebrated battle of La
Victoria the company continued to aid
Matos, thus prolonging an Iniquitous war
tinder any circumstances which Increased
the sufferings of the nation and delivered
It almost and defenseless to foreign op
pression." Motion to Dismiss Overruled.
Without attempting to pass upon the sub
ject matter of these charges the appellate
court, confining Itself to the motion to dis
miss, niea dv tne company, Held that the
right of civil action exists Independently
of the penal action and the cessation of
the revolutionary armed movement did not
necessarily Imply or embody the actual
fact that the disturbing force had been
destroyed or that such force might exist
in a latqnt condition while the constituted
state preserves lis sacred and paramount
duty of watching for its security. The
civil action did not mean the abrogation
of the amnesty granted by the state In
criminal cases, so the motion to dismiss
the artlon la denied with costs against the
comrany. .
HIGH FINANCE IN GASMERGER
Secretary Obliterates Discrepancy of
Three and a Half Millions by
Charging; It to Construction.
NEW YORK, April 1. Officers of the
Consolidated Gas company, the controlling
organization of tha local gas and electric
lighting concerns, appeared again today as
witnesses before the legislative committee
which Is Inquiring Into the alleged mo
nopoly In lighting New York City. There
were Interesting developments during the
day. Including the admission by B. A.
Whiteley, assistant secretary of the Con
solidated company, that In order to show
a balance In a statement submitted by him
to the committee he had obliterated a dis
crepancy of $3,500,000 by charging that
amount to "construction," when as a mat
ter of fact such a sum had not been spent.
R. A. Carter, secretary of the Consoli
dated Gas company, explained the apparent
discrepancy of more than $12,000,000 In a
statement of the company's Investments
submitted to the committee by declaring
the larger amount represented the ctual
amount Invested, the smaller the present
values of the property.
Counsel for the committee endeavored to
show that the earnings of the company on
the value of Its plant In 1904 was 17 per
cent, but counsel for the company pointed
out that thla did not Include any earnings
upon the value of Its franchises. It looked
now as though the company would have
to pay Its franchise tax, he said.
Mr. Whiteley promised to produce figures
showing the amount of gas furnished, the
rate charged to the city of New York and
the cost of gas production. The committee
then adjourned until Monday.

BERLIN EXPLAINS POSITION
Bpeech of Emperor at Tangier Based on
Present Treaty with Morocco.
HAS AS MUCH INTEREST AS FRANCE
Gcrmas Government Declines to Ad
mit that There Is Any Formal
Xotlce of Dissatisfac
tion at Paris.
BERLIN. April l.-The Berlin side of tho
Moroccan controversy is founded on a
treaty of which article 1 reads:
Continuing and unchanging friendship
shall exist between hl majesty, the Herman
emperor, and his majesty, the sultan of
Morocco, also between their empires and
their subjects. Between both empires shall
the present freedom of trade continue and
for this purpose each of the high contract
ing parties binds Itself to give and to sicure
to the subjects of the others rights, advan
tages and privileges now or in the future
held by the most favored nation.
This la the treaty of 1891, which under Its
terms might have been revised In ISM. but
was not revised and runs without limitation
and without any provision for Its denuncia
tion. Such a contract with Morocco cannot
of right be dissolved or Impaired, It Is as
serted. by the German government by the
agreement between France and Great
Britain, to which Germany Is not a signa
tory. Germany declines altogether to recog
nise France as having any more dominant
position In Morocco than Germany.
As to whether France informed Germany
of the agreement with Great Britain has
been fully discussed In the French and
British press.
No Official Notice.
The German Foreign office regarded For
eign Minister Delcasse's conversation with
Prince von Radolln, the German ambassa
dor, as being no more than "tea table
talk," very Interesting, but aa not supply
ing the place of an official communication
which would have called for an official
reply. Prince von Radolln'a passive and
receptive attitude toward M. Delcasse-can-not.
It Is said at the Foreign office here,
be accepted as the German government's
assent to the Franco-German agreement.
Germany does not trust to France to
protect German trade. It prefers rather
to deal with the sultan.
The German ambassador to the United
States, Baron von Speck Sternburg, under
Instructions from the Foreign office, has
explained to the State department at Wash
ington that Germany stands for the open
door In Morocco. Germany has not aiikod
the United States to do anything, nor have
negotiations of any sort been begun or
proposed. Germany does not expect the
Lnlted States to do anything, but It de
sires that It should be known In Wash
ington that the basis of Ita action In
Morocco Is the open door to trade. This
phrase "open door" has become a part
of German speech. It Is used In the
Reichstag with the definition Secretary
Hay gave It.
Protector of Morocco.
The Lokal Anzeiger, in a dispatch from
Tangier, says that In replying to the
members of the German colony. Emperor
William said he wns glad to make the
acquaintance of the pioneers of Germany
In Morocco and to tell them that they had
done their duty. They must remain united
and continue to fulfill their duty under
the emperor's protection. Germany had
great commercial interests in Morocco and
its trade was advancing gratlfylngly. He,
the emperor, would make It his business
to promote this trade, which was only
possible on the assumption of the equality
of all the powers and the sovereignty of
the sultan and the independence of the
land. His visit was a recognition of this
Indoendence. v
The speech, the Lokal Anzeiger adds,
created an Immense Impression In the for
eign colony at Tangier and especially
among tho natives, who now refer to the
emperor as tho protector of the Independ
ence of Morocco.
Great political significance, It Is further
nsserted. Is attached to the fact that the
German charge d' affaires accompanied the
German emperor to Gibraltar.
Interest at Washington.
WASHINGTON. April l.-It Is declared
at the State department that there have
been no exchange whatever between Ger
many and America respecting the main
tenance of the open door In Morocco. When
the department was endeavoring to secure
the release of Perdlcarls It availed Itself
with gratitude of the good offices of the
French representatives and this fact was
construed by some of the French news
papers Into a quasl-recognltion byAmerica
of the predominance of French Influence
In Morocco, though really the government
never has eommltted itself In that matter
and there has been no occasion for a
declaration.
Would Check France.
Behind this legal attitude, as it may be
called, of the German government are dip
lomatic motives which are not easy to
measure. Germany Is disinclined to see
We Offer $5,000
As a. Guarantee on Liquozone. The First Bottle is Free.
A great deal la raid In these days
about Llqaozooe.
Millions are telling- of the good It hat
done; for one home In five wherever
you go has tone one whom Liquozone
has cured.
This remarkable product has become
the talk of the world. In the past two
years, the slrk of nine nations have
come to employ It
But so gTeat a good could not be done
to humanity without harming the Inter
ests of a few.
The consumption of medicine has Im
mensely decreased. The popularity of
the few physic-Inn who cling solely to
drugs has diminished. And In number
toss homes where Llcivrozone Is In dally
use, sickness has iWn almost bnnlshed.
These fnct hsre In'nred some Inter
ests. And a few of the Injured to
serve a selfish Interest seek to dispar
age that which has done the good.
The iisunl method is to Insinuate that
Liquozone Itself la a medicine; that,
despite our claims, it la a compound of
adds and drugs.
Such ttatementa are oft repeated; and
we rennet doubt that some are led to
believe them.
Our answer to all Is this:
The virtues of IJquor.one are derived
solely from gas, by a process requiring
Immense apparatus and from 8 to 14
days' time. The gns la made. In large
part, from the best oxygen producers.
Nothing whatever enters Into the
product, gave the gas and the liquid
used to absorb It. plus a touch of color.
And, to emphasise thla answer, we
offer M.000 to any one who can dis
prove It.
In this business, methods which are
subject to criticism are most carefully
avoided. We permit no misrepresenta
tion; no claims which have not been ful
filled. Our product la too vital to hu
manity to be laid open to prejudice.
What we nay about LJquosone is e.
What we claim it can do has, again ..nd
again, been done. And In any disease
which we claim that Llquotone will help,
we assume the whole risk on a two
months' test with every patient who
asks It.
Before we bought the rights to Wquo
sone. It hnd been tested for years In
thousands of the most difficult easea ob
tainable. We found that diseases which
bad resisted medicine for years yielded
at once to It. Sickness which had been
pronounced Incurable was cured.
The value of the product waa placed
beyond possible question, before we
staked our fortunes and reputations on
tt It was amply proved that, in germ
troubles, Llquoeone did what medicine
could not da
Then we gave the product away
gave millions of bottles, one to each of
millions of sick ones.
We have published no testimonials:
no evidence of cures. We have never
asked a soul to buy It.
Our method has been to buy the first
bottle ourselves; to let the sick try It
without the cost of a. penny; to let the
product itself prove Irs power.
Most of you know the result There
Is no neighborhood no hamlet so remote
but knows some wonders which Llquo
eone has wrought
And Liquozone is probably doing
more to cure sickness, and to prevent It
than all druga, all medlclnea combined.
How petty is that self-interest which
wouVd have you go back to the old meth
od! to the days before Liquozone! Back
to the time when the very cause of dis
ease was unknown, or when no one
knew how to meet it!
What Liquozone Is.
The gr?atest value of Liquozone lies
in ita germlcldnl powers. It is a germi
cide so certain that we publish on every
bottle an ofTer of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cannot kill.
Tet It la absolutely harmless to the
human body. Not only harmless, but
helpful in the extreme. Even a well
person feels Ita instant benefit.
Llquotone Is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without killing the
tissues to. Any drug that kills germs
Is a poison, and it cannot be given in
ternally. Medicine Is almost helpless In
dealing with Inside germs.
But grout are vegetables; and Uquo
tone the very life of an animal la dead
ly to vegetal matter. Thla fact above
all others gives Llquotone Its value.
There Is no other way to directly end
the cause of any germ disease.
Germ Diseases.
These are the known germ diseases.
Nearly all forma of all these diseases
have been traced to germ 8. or to the
poisons which germs create.
These are the diseases to which medl-

France spread further In northern Africa
and would check and delay indefinitely, if
possible, that policy of "peaceful penetra
tion" which would add strength to France.
Probably also Germany Is willing to em
barrass France and gain a diplomatic vic
tory while France'a enemy is en-'
gaged elsewhere. These motives are,
however, obscure. One obvious thing Is
that Germany does not consent to have
its old relations with Morocco modified by
an agreement to which It la not a party,
and after remaining passive for a year
chooses this moment to object by diplo
matic activity at Fes.
Privy Counsellor Rosen, special envoy at
the court of King Menelik of Abyssinia,
will. It la unofficially reported, be German
minister to Morocco In succession to the
deceased Baron von Mentzingen. Herr
Rosen began as a dragoman to the German
consul general at Smyrna, oerved at The
heran and was consul at Jerusalem. When
Emperor William vlelled that city Baron
Rosen was transferred to the foreign office,

oriental languages, Including Arabic.
FLAVOR 0F.THE BIG SALMON
Royal Chinook Is Hot Appreciated In
Missouri Valley aa on
the Coast,
Frank H. Sanborn, representing the San-born-Cutting
company of Astoria, Ore., sal
mon packers, Is at the Her Grand. He says
that the outlook for the salmon industry
on the Columbia river the coming season,
which opens April 15, is considered excel
lent. In speaking of the salmon trade, he
said It Is a fact peculiar to the trade, that
there is not much demand In this middle
country along the Missouri river and
further south, for those brands of salmon
which contain, the genuine royal clilnook
fish and which have the peculiar flavor
that so many desire and which has made
that kind of salmon - so famous. Other
kinds of salmon cost about the same price,
but the flesh is of ax different color, being
red, while that of the royal Chinook Is of a
pink color.
"Those who are familiar with the different
qualities of the salmon," said Mr. Sanborn,
'can distinguish the difference in a moment
and on the cost where, of course, very little
canned flsh Is sold to the local trade, as
the consumer wajits the fresh fish, they In
sist on the royal Chinook; and these same
people when they are In the eastern coun
try and are served with salmon other than
their favorite, note the difference.
"The leading event on the northwest
coast," continued Mr. Sanborn, "Is the ex
position to be held at Portland. A beauti
ful site has been selected and the buildings
are nearlng completion. It will be a much
more pretentious exhibition than many may
think, and will not be a mere imitation of
the great expositions held elsewhere, but
will have many unique and exceedingly at
tractive features."
GOOD FOR TRADING STAMPS
Bill Passed by Legislature Pleases
the Firms Interested In the
I.I I lie Stickers.
In connection with the passage of a bill
by the legislature regulating the giving of
trading stamps, B. H. Kemper, representa
tive of the Sperry & Hutchinson company
says the law IS entirely In harmony with
the desires of his company and simply
amountB to a recognition of trading stamps
by the state of Nebraska In such manner
as to forever dispose of any attempts to
Interfere with It by city ordinances or by
schemes and conspiracies and boycotting,
as have bce:i attempted In Omaha within
the last year. When asked If his company
would print the value on tho face of each
stamp, Mr. Kemper declared that the
Sperry & Hutchinson company had for sev
eral months anticipated this requirement
and was already complying with It on all
stamps Issued. Asked as to whether his
company opposed or favored the present
law, Mr. Kemper replied that they had op
posed a certain paragraph of tho bill as
originally Introduced, but after explaining
their views to the legislative committee
this clause was stricken out, and the bill
In Its present form is perfectly satisfac
tory. By this law the state of Nebraska
has virtually sanctioned the giving of
trading stamps.
J. E. Baum of the Bennett store says his
company had long ago taken legal advice
and had been Informed by undoubted au
thority that any law which undertook to
hamper the conduct of his business would
be unconstitutional and Invalid, therefore
the boasts of the opponents of trading
stamps were never seriously considered.
The Bennett company from the first an
nounced that It would keep faith with Its
customers and stamp collectors and has for
many months refused to recognize or pay
any attention to false resorts by com
petitors, and has felt that the public In
general has refused to give credit to the
many rumors of the discontinuing of trad
ing stamps that have been circulated.
"However," said Mr. Baum, hereafter even
the most thoughtless person will not give
heed to any reports about the Bennett
company discontinuing the giving of
stamps, as they are a fixed element In our
business. They have been given the ap
proval of the state of Nebraska and we
have told our customers that they would
continue to receive trading stamps from us,
and our word is good."
KENWORTHY TOJGIVE UP COW
Bovine Shorty llensel Went' to Get
Will Be Handed Over by
Other Constable.
A black and white cow kept a bunch of
people Jumping about town all of Thurs
day and Frldaj and Saturday morning.
The animal originally was owned by a
Mrs. Nelson, but was seized on an execu
tion against her husband by Constable
Kenworthy. Then Mrs. Nelson got out a
writ of replevin in Justice Hunt's court,
and Constable Hensel went out looking for
the cow. He didn't get it, but Insists that
Instead he was given a steer by Konworthy
not a four-footed steer even, but one
of those slungy ones which takes a man
out of his way in a most unsatisfactory
manner.
He went to the farm of Charles Fuerst
at Grand and Fortieth with Mr. Nelson.
They failed to find the missing cow, but
Kenworthy, when approached, said he
would produce her. He did not, and so
Constable Hensel secured a citation from
Judge Vinsonhaler directing Kenworthy to
come Into court with the cow or i-how
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt.
Answering this Kenworthy appeared in
person and by going on the witness stand
purged himself of contempt. Ho promised
to deliver the troublesome animal to his
brother constable at 1 o'clock Saturday,
and the hearing on the rase was set for
Wednesday morning next. In the mean
time the cow Is chewing the cud of con
troversy somewhere, while her hunters are
chewing) all kinds of inelegant language;
and she Is also advertised for sale under
the execution on April 7.
- Manager (or Relief Store.
George Salmon, who for the past three
years has been connected with the Salva
tion Army relief store on North Eleventh
street, has Just been appointed manager.
Mr. Salmon has been a resident of this
city for many years.
Now that the time for house moving and
spring cleaning Is at hnnd, it would be
well to remember that the Salvation Army
can use furniture of every description, also
shoes and clothing, which will be used In
their relief among the poor. A postcard
addressed to Brigadier Cousins, 403 Bee
building, or 'phone 4135. will bring the Sol

lief store Is used exclusively for the dis
tribution of articles that tlio worthy poor
need and the store Is open every day of
the year except Sundays.
NEW WAGON TO COLLECT MAIL
Postmaster Palmer Installs Vehicle
to Gather Third and Fourth
V Class Matter.
For the convenience of collecting third
and fourth-class mall in the city the Post
office department has finally been author
ised to use a speclnl horse and wagon for
collecting this mall from business houses
and business men. Complaints have been
made hitherto that the facilities for gath
ering third and fourth-class mall were In
