SERVED EVER? WHERE
iNCUCAH VIMS CI. tV. 10U1S
years ago, when Castro vai dictator of
Vencsuela, Crltchfleld purchased an as
phalt mine In the interior. It was neces
sary In order to market the asphalt that
a tramway ba constructed to the coast.
Crltchfleld secured from Castro formal per
mission for the construction of this tram
way and also the right to export ,the as
phalt free of any export duty. About a
year and a half ago, the company asserts
the Venezuelan? government, in violation of
this contract, began to impose export duties
on the asphalt and Increased the tax to a
point that made It Impossible to operate
the mine profitably. Consequently, after
vainly appealing to President Castro to
adhere to his original agreement, the
United States and Venesuela company,
which operated the mine and the railroad,
went out of business, closed up the works
and appealed to the State department for
redress.
Secretary Root listened with much in
terest to the presentation of - this case,
which he will make the basis of freah and
strong Instructions to Minister Russell.

Three Hundred Eagles at

Initiation of a class of two-score men at
tracted a crowd of about WO members to
the hall of Omaha aerie No. 88, Fraternal
Order of Eagle.1. Thursday evening. Pres
ident Christie and Captain Snoop of the
degree team conducted the ceremonies with
a vim and celerity that was a revelation
to' the Eagles In attendance, many of
whom were from Beatrice, Council Bluffs,
Benson, South Omaha and some even from
South Dakota. One brother, who la an
army officer at Fort Meade, came up to
get pointers on how an Eagle initiation
should be conducted and he eapressed ad
miration to President Christie after the
work was done. "It beats even an Indian
corn dance," said the officer.
After the initiation a aocial session was
indulged In, with a fine program, under
the direction of Captain Henry Dunn.
This was suspended with the program un
finished when announcement was made of
the death of Michael Ford, father of Dr.
M. J. Ford, formerly aerie physician. Be
fore the suspeusloB several numbers had
been put on. Mattern ' and Zimmerman
rendered nuntcal selections on the guitar
and mandolin, and tha drill team of camp
130, Modern Woodmen of America, went
through a series of evolutions that won un
stinted applause. What was to have been
a four-round boxing match between Camp
bell, a white boy, and Cartwrlght, a col
ored tad, ended quickly. The latter get
tired before the end of the first three
minutes. Morgan and Holden. two clever
wrestlers, gave a fine exhibition of the
sport, each man winning a fall. While this
match was In progress the session ad
journed. Fagle politics Is beginning to stir with
considerable force. Tha nomination and
election of officers for the ensuing year la
to occur December T and the contest prom
ises to be In lUe nature of a free-for-all.
President Dave Christie's friends are urg
ing him for re-election because of tha
good work he has done during his term,
and it Is understood there ere several other
aspirants in training. The same la true of
all the other office, except secretary, for
which Dan Cunon will probably have no
opposition. The membership la growing to
such an extent that all tha members feel
deeply Interested in the result of the com
ing contest.

cerned. SEOUL, Corea, Nov. 17.-Harquis Ito, in
a four hours' audience with the emperor
yesterday, submitted the Japanese program
for a protectorate over Corca. It provides
for the political status of Japanese resi
dents of Corea, open ports and the turning
over of the management of Corea's foreign
relatione to Japan.
Today tho emperor laid the Japanese
scheme before the cabinet. It Is stated
that If the Japanese proposal is not ac
cepted complications will follow and that
the Corean government will eventually be
obliged to submit. The emperor and the
court are not yet willing to recognise the
loss of independence.
Local Japanese express surprise that the
Corcans should desire to retain autonomy
when the benefits of Japanese domination
are apparent.

SAND IS DIFFICULT T0 GET
Material Comes Slowly nnd Therefore
Loral Contractors Encounter
Serious Delay.
Contractors are not getting sand as rap
Idly as they desire It and consequently a
complaint has been made to the railroads
for better service. It Is claimed the supply
is so short and the sand is being shipped In
so slowly It Is ossible the building and
street work now going on will be seriously
retarded. It is understood the Missouri
Pacific, which handles most of the sand,
has stopped entirely furnishing cars, but
Instead Is sending all of Its available cars
to the coal mines. The Union Pacific and
Burlington are still hauling some sand, but
a large number of their available supply
of cars Is being used to haul corn and the
sand cars are necessarily short. The com
plaint, it Is said, is general among the
contractors. i
