After KreaeV IareB lHed States latereeted in Similar C'aaea. ABHlNGTON Jan. 12.-rAlthou(h the present breach in the diplomatic relations between .' France and Venesuela Is tech nically chargeable against the personality vt M. Taiany, the J;ench charge at Caracas, the real laaun, as It Is understood here, is tbs attack by President Castro upon the properties and franchise of the French Cable company. The president asaerted that the cable company had lent active assistance to the Matos rebellion. Therefore, he bevan proceedings In the Venesuelean courta against the company on that score and also complained that the company had violated the terms of Its concesdlon In not laying certain coast lines of cable and especially In crossing the Island of Santo Domingo with land wires subject to frequent Interruption In times of rebellion on that Island. The courts sus tained the president's view, and In fact practically took possession of the company's offices at certain points when the French government Intervened. In the absence of the regular minister. M. Talgny presented a written protest to the Venesuelan gov ernment, president Castro regarded this ?nte Insulting t his government and re fused to have anything more to do with M. Talgny. But the French government refused to allow the dispute to be made a personal one and declared that M. Talgny in Ma presentment had followed precisely tba instructions of his Foreign office. Cstlre Tosjokra Preach Pride. At this point, Mr. Russell, the American minister at Caracas, intervened In the In terest of peace, and after many patient eschangea It waa believed that he had finally aucoeeded. But while he Induced President Castro to withdraw a note refus ing to do business with M. Talgny, which tGjasgow runs its own trol leys, earns i, 000,000 a year, carries 57,000,000 people a year at a one-cent fare, with . better public service than we . Americans get for five cents.

El,,,,, , m eraea asea lim Me as sieiwe, the French government regarded as offen sive, be could not prevail on President Castro to resume his official relations with the French charge. The climax cams on New Tear'a day when the French govern ment, supposing that a satisfactory settle ment had been reached, received .with the usual honors at the New Year's reception, the Venesuelan minister at Paris, only to learn that President Castro had refused to do likewise for M. Talgny at Caracas. Thla occasion touched the pride of the French government, which felt It had been made the victim of double dealing and deceit, which fact the French ambassador in Washington was not slow to communicate to the State department. Mr. Russell re ported his failure to effect a settlement, thereby making himself unpopular in Caracaa and then came notice from the French government that diplomatic rela tions with Venesuela were completely severed. There Is a hint of punitive meas ures on the part of Franca and the situation is regarded officially as very unpleasant with possibilities of serious consequences. Crltchgeld Claim Good. It is now admitted that the relations be tween President Castro and Minister Rus sell are not all that could be desired. The negotiations regarding the New York and Bermudes Asphalt company's claim buve failed, but Secretary Root la determined to exhaust every method of diplomatic pro cedura and has directed Minister Russell to take up the Critchfleld claim, which Is without complications and Involves no charge on the part of President Castro that the company engaged in abetting a revolution. This company invested about ItiOO.OOO In a railroad and an asphalt plant under agreement that they were to be ex empt from all except a few specified taxes. It Is charged that about a year ago Presi dent Castro Imposed a prohibitive tax on Die company, in vlolaliuu of1 the agree ment. The Critchfleld claim Is regarded by the Washington government as a fair claim and Mr. Russell will devote his best endeavors to have it satisfactorily settled. The State department has been advised that cable communication with Venesuela haa been interrupted. I Itlmatam Illanlr Probable. PARIS. Jan. It The Venesuelan ques tion, although subordinated In publio opin ion to the Moroccan conference, is occupy ing the serious attention of the Foreign office, but the strictest discretion is ob served In this connection. A highly placed diplomat, however, de clared today, that It might be considered certain that the moment waa rapidly ap proaching when a crisis would occur in Venesuela,' Ha waa unable to atata the ex act character i which events would assume, "GRAFT" HEARING AT ST. LOUIS Pollrrmaa Who Resigas Rather Than Testify Is Tried lor Vlo , latin Oath. BT. IX)UIS, Jan. 12. The Board of Police Commissioners at the weekly meeting today took up. the Investigation of alleged graft In police circles. Ten officers were given trials on different charges.

C. Colestock. who. committed suicide last Tuesday night because he had been accused of having accepted tribute from resort keepers for Immunity from sr rest.

The two governments were in absolute accord on the question at lasue, France's Una of conduct being based on that of tha United Slates. France waa merely desirous of securing perfect respect for Its rights. Though M. Maubourguet, the Venesuelan ehargfe-d'aftairea. has not received his pass ports, diplomatic) relations between France and Venesuela are considered to have been broken off. . There Is . no question for the present of a naval demonstration, but there is no doubt that tba French govemement tntenda to ha re the fullest recognition of and respects lor Its rights.

Rogers of the Standard OH company were auccessful In securing a further postponement until to morrow morning of tha rule against Mr. Rogers to show cause why ha should not be compelled to answer certain questions aaked by Attorney General Herbert S. Had ley of Missouri In the hearing In this city to determine the relationship, If any, be tween tha Standard Oil company, the Waters-Pierce Company and the Republic ' OH company. Mr. Hadley through counsel strongly opposed the postponement on the ' plea that It was necessary for Mr. Hadley to cloaa the hearing tomorrow in order that he might meet court engagementa In tha west on Monday. The delay was secured through a plea that one of Mr. Rogers' counsel had a case on bearing In another court. 1 Attorney General Hadley resumed the hearing before Commissioner Sanborn this afternoon and A. V. Jockel, formerly of the Standard Oil company and later with the Waters-Pierce Company In Oklahoma City, was again called as a witness. He waa cross-questioned by the attorneys for the oil interests, but reaffirmed much of his testimony given on direct examination. Tha witness refused to answer a question asked by one of the oil company's attor neys. He said he did so on advice of coun sel and added: "I've got the habit, too." . After the hearing In court tomorrow morning In the Rogers matter the hearing before the commissioner will be resumed and concluded during tha afternoon or evening. "'" Mr. Rogers In his answer set forth four reasons why ha ahould not be compelled ! to answer thesa questions aa follows: I The first claim was niade that tha ques tions were Immaterial; second that a con test regarding the admissibility of tha sajna questions Is pending before the courts In Missouri: third, that the attorney general of Missouri haa no legal right to take depo sitlona In New York and that the ques tions are under consideration in the courts of another state; fourth, that the attorney general of Missouri Is not asking the ques tions at issue for purposes of public policy, but is bringing the proceedings in order to gain advertising and personal notoriety as a foe of tha Standard Oil company. To support this last named claim, the answer set forth that the newspapers have been fed with sensational atortea by Mr. . Hadley and his aaaoclatca, holding up Mr. 1 Rogers to contempt and ridicule. It waa I further contended that newspaper photog , raphers and artists have ben given a free hand at tha hearing before Commissioner Sanborn, causing Mt. Rogers great annoy ance.
