Kansas City Hanging.
National Associated Press to the Star.

ASSOCIRItU W DIHE
ST. LOUIS, March THE execution Of
Richard Green occurred this morning in
Kansas City at 1910 o'clock. The hanging
was witnessed by an immense crowd. He
walked firmly from the cell to the scaffold
and when his arms were pinioned said
II have no fear Of death, and die trust
ing in the Lord"
On the gallows he bore himself with cour-
age. He placed the moose around his neck
with his own hands. He said to the crowd 4:
II die in the faith Of the Lord and trusting
in Jesus"
The cope worked smoothly. His death
was painless, and there was no drawing up
of the limbs.
The crime for which he suffered death
was the shooting Of Marshal Henry Hughes
while the latter w. trying to arrest him.

The Venezuela Awards.

Nattora al Associated Press TO the Star.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs yesterday COM
menced to hear arguments growing out of
the investigation into the alleged frauds in
the settlement of the Venezuelan award
Mr.. VIM. A. Pyle, attorney for the Venezu-
elan Government opened the argument by
first alluding to the magnitude of the ques-
ton and the effect the action of the Com
mittee would have upon the settlement of
international questions. He said the rep
resentatives of other nations here We're
watching with avidity the official develop
ments of this investigation, and were anx-
ious to see what would be the result, as the
principles in this case involved internation-
al treaties. He charged the United States
Minister at Caracas and David N. Talmadge,
the American Minister, and Others with a
conspiracy to defraud the Venezuelan Gov
e1nment, and finally the Government of
the United States. The proceedings of the
Commissioner were irregular, and now to
sustain such Commission and its awards
was disgrace to the United States and a
violation of the great principles of interna-
tional arbitration.
He desired that the President of the
United States be authorized to set aside the
awards of this Commission and appoint a
new one, who should act as if no Commits
sion had ever been appointed; and if the
United States Government would agree to
this the Venezuelan Government would
even go so far as to allow the new Commits
sion to not only have jurisdiction over all
classes heretofore passed upon, but over all
international claims arising since the ad-
journment of the original Commission. He
then went on to develop the bargain entered
into between United States Commissioner
Talmadge, Villabane, the Venezuelan Com
missioner, Machado Umpire, Stillwell, the
American Minister at Caracas and William
H. Murray, charging these persons with
making a contract TO divide the spoils OBJ
tanned by the Commissioners.

New YORK, March 1.-Whitlock & Ander-
son, jobbers in woolen goods, Grand street,
failed yesterday. Liabilities 100000; as
sets about 100000. During the month of
February there were sixty-seven failures in
the city of New York, with liabilities of

The Com merce of New York.
A few weeks ago the Chamber of Com
merce appointed Committee on Railroad
Transportation, whose special purpose was
to inquire into the question of freight dis
ordinations and effect upon this city. The
Chamber received report of the Commit
tee yesterday.
The report says the Committee are of the
opinion that bad city government, enor-
nous taxation, miserably paved and dirty
streets, insufficient and expensive ter
minal facilities, and more recently oppres-
sive railroad determinations, all combined
have made this city the most expensive in
the world in which to do business. The
combination of railroads known as the pool
combination, between foreign lines and
steamships and our trunk lines of railroads,
the system known as ''underweights," and
the matter of classification have driven from
New York nearly all the jobbing trade and
generally affected the commerce of the city
to an almost ruinous extent. The Commit
tee had interviews with the leading railroad
men of the country, but beyond promise
from one of them to consider the classifca-
ton abuse and to remedy the tariff, the con-
ferences were without result. The Com
mittee considers that wise legislation is nee
essary to put a stop to the abuses com
planned of, and suggests that the Chamber
request the State Legislature to enact such
laws.
