ist
Special 10 the Globe.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20.-The steamship
Philadelphia, which arrived here yes
terday, brings the news of the restora-
ton of peace in Venezuela. The trouble
which has existed in that country for
the past sixteen months grew out of the
election of DR.. Rojas Paul to the presi-
dency of Venezuela over Gen. Crespo,
who had served one term in the presi-
Dental office. Gen. CrespO, on learning
of his defeat, collected his most trusCy
followers. manned the schooner Anna
Jacinta, and sailed for Trinidad. Since
that time he has been ranging along the
coast with his schooner. A few out
breaks in the provinces of Barcelona and
CreSpo on the part of CreSpoS adher-
ents were easily and speedily put down
by Gen. PaeZ, who was intrusted with
that mission by President Paul. CreSpo,
however, succeeded in ,eluding all pur-
suers until about month ago the man
of-war La Libertad was sent in quest of
his schooner. The man-of-war, with
select crew and Gen. PaeZ on board,
came up with the Anna Jacinta on Dec.
off Curacao. She was ordered to sur
render, but it seems did not obey the
lowed one of the crew of the Jacinta
was killed, but in a little while the yes
sci Twas made prisoner and her cOui-
mander and crew captured. Among
those taken prisoners was eX-President
Crespo. They were all transferred to
the La Libertad and brought to La
guayra the next day. From there Gen.
Crespo and his followers were taken to
Caracas and are now in prison, and in
due time will be put on trial and
punished for taking arms against the
republic. The news of the capture of
Crespo will have q good effect on the
trade of Venezuela, for while he was at
large shippers were 10th to send
vessels to Venezuelan ports. The
natives of the country are Overjoyed at
the capture of Crespo, and believe that
the country will now have uninter-
rupted peace for years to come. 1t is
not believed that Crespo will be exc
cuted. but will be sent to prison for
couple of years to reflect upon the
dangers of over-reaching ambition. He
is a very wealthy man and member of
one of the Oldest families in Venezuela.

Crosby then quickly spoke and referring
TO the great year 1916, when his parents

wALBRIDGE HOPES TO WIN.
Buckeye State to Recover Large
Tracts of Canal Lands.

TOLEDO, O., Dee. 2O.-Suit will be
entered in the common pleas court of
this county tomorrow to recover from
the state of Ohio large tracts of canal
lands in this city and in Paulding
county. The Miami and Erie canal
once extended through the city of To-
ledo. entering the Maumee river near
the bay. The land was obtained by the
state for canal purposes ana upon this
the suit is based. A number of years
ago the portion of the canal through
the business part of the city was
abandoned, and the legislature
by enactment gave the land to the
city of Toledo. Parts of it were sold,
and private structures erected thereon.
Over a mile of the lower end was given
to the Wheeling 81 Lake Erie railway
as an entrance to the city, and its fine
passenger depot stands on it. The
county house, the memorial building,
a fire-engine house and the new city
library building stand on the portions
yet held by the city. IL. S. Waibridge
has obtained possession of the rever-
sionary interest to this land from the
heirs of the original owners, except
that portion once owned by ,IeSsop w.
Scott, and now brings suit to obtain
possession on the ground that the land
being abandoned by the state for
canal purposes reverted to the
original owners, their heirs or assign
ees, and could not be sold or other
wise disposed of by the state. The
present value of the land involved and
the buildings and improvements is up
ward of S2,000,000 The Paulding county
suit is for the possession of the old
canal reservoir in that county. and is
based on the same ground. This reSer-
voir was built for the benefit of the old
Ohio and Indiana canal, extending to
Evansville, Ind. The Indiana portion
of this canal was abandoned years ago.
and the six miles or more of it in Ohio
to the junction with the Miami canal,
including the reservoir, has been aban-
doned as canal, and the state is pre-
pairing to sell it to the highest bidder.
The reservoir embraces nearly 1900
acres, and is worth over $50 an acre as it

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dee. 2O.-Henry George
was enthusiastically welcomed back to
America tonight by large audience at
the Cooper union, presided over by
Thomas L. johnson, of Cleveland. who
made gallant fight on the single tax
platform for election to congress in the
recent campaign. Some of the vice
presidents of the meeting were from
Kentucky. Tennessee. and other states
beside New York. Mr.. George in his
speech recounted his experiences in his
recent visit to England, where the SIN
gle tax idea was now coming into prac-
ticai politics and making wonderful
progress. He also pointed to the many
signs of a similar kind in this country.
one of the latest being an editorial in
the New York Times a few days ago
recognizing the single tax on land val
ues as the best and most equitable form
OF taxation. A few years ago the Times
was bitterly opposed to Mr.. Georges
ideas. He declared that the recent cleo
toral campaign had been very beneficial
IN educating the people in the funda-
mental truths of political economy. and
that this education would go on until
the injustices of the existing system of
taxation were clearly seen. and it would
then be an easy matter to introduce the
single tax.
George said that President Cleve-
lands last message showed that the
leading men of the country were being
forced to take deep interest in questions
of political economy and social prob
lens. The country was waking up to
the knowledge of the dangers that
threaten us in spite of the apparent per-
lection of our political system. Thomas
G. Sherman, the expert on taxation,
also spoke, defining the eXcellencies OF
single tax. Louis F. Post. and Rev.
Hugh o. Pentecost also delivered adj
dresses. Father J. o. s. Huntington,
who is noted for his constant labor to al
lcviate the condition of the dwellers
in tenement houses, presented Strlk-
ing and picturesque figure as he spoke
of the misery he had been witnessing,
and pleaded for fundamental reform in
the land system as the best remedy for
the evils of overcrowded population.
Not half the land in the city is built
upon yet, thousands of people are dying
for want of air. light, and proper meth
DDS of life in the tenement districts.
Tax the vacant, unused lands so that
the owners will be compelled to build
upon it, and there Will be decent homes

by employers of the curriers', and said:
