1t is an admirable principle Of Anglo
Saxon justice which requires that when a
employ counsel to defend him the court
shall appoint competent attorneys for the
purpose. This means that even the vilest
criminal must be tried in accordance with
law and shall have counsel to see that he
gets fair trial The Buffalo bar did itself
credit by selecting and the court did itself
equal credit by appointing two prominent
members OF the local bar to defend Czol-
gocz. This is all the better because the
procedure will pass INTO history and it will
prevent Anarchists from claiming that the
assassin did not have a fair trial.

it, as he said it had not bearing on the

Nj. Swendson tried to talk the third

Mr. Warner again said that he had a
report he would like to read.
Again Mr.. Swendson and Mr.
Roundtree objected, but this time the
mayor said 1t could De read ana SO the
clerk read it. The report stated that
there was an uncertainty in several pre-
cincts and that it was impossible to tell
from the tally sheet what the vote was
but that the summary, which is made on
the last sheet of the tally, was sworn
to by the judges and clerks and these
figures added showed that Mr.. Parker
had ,337 votes and that Mr. Hughes re-
ceived 1926 votes.

sheets is the summary, and that is what
we think we should go by 1t called

Mr. Weber, Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Mer-

David Overmyer got the floor and
challenged the vote of Colonel Hughes.
Mr. Troutman then said that Mr.
Hughes was not here as his own repre-
sentative but as a representative OF the
Sixth ward.
These remarks brought out cheers

Hughes had a right to vote.
The committee then announced the re-

Mr. Parker and his attorneys decline
to state whether they will contest the

want to do it,"
MI. CLANCY suggested to AIrSwendson
mat he take the figures which had been
put down by the committee and sleep
with them If he was afraid some other
member Of the committee would touch
Them.
Another legal question was then
sprung as 10 whether the council had 4
right to take a recess of y hours The
lawyers finally agreed that it could be
done legally, but the attorneys for Mr..
Hughes entered a protest against taking
q recess as they said it was prejudicial
TO their case.
When the question of taking a recess
was put by Mayor Drew. Councilman
Miller demanded a roll-call, and the vote
stood.

Mr. Morgan objected to Mr.. Hughes
voting on the question, but as his vote
made no difference it was counted
There was some dispute over several
tally sheets besides those mentioned In
the second precinct of the Second ward
there were 719 votes cast and 720 count
ed In the fifth of the Second one Par
ker vote and one Hughes vote were in
doubt, an attempt having apparently
been made to erase one vote from each
OF the Fifth ward and in the second
precinct of the Sixth ward the total
number Of votes cast was not certified
to 10y the judges ard clerks.
Mr. Hughes refused to say anything
after the meeting had adjourned, ex-
cept that he wanted fair play and that
he thought all the errors in his favor
We're legal and should be counted He
would not say anything further and re-
feiTed to his lawyers
Mr.. Parker attended the meeting and
when IL was over said that he did not
believe the council would allow all Of
the claims made by the Hushes attOr-
neys. The matter Will proba bly, be
settled this afternoon, and We will know
better then what TO do He said that
all ne wanted was a fair count, and
that he proposed to have it.

ell allows all the claims of the attor-
neys for Mr. Hugnes2' he was asked.

III appears to- be the general opinion
that the matter can not be settled with
out counting the ballots, and the only
way that can be done is to file a con-
test. Although both sides refuse to talk
concerning a contest, it is more than
likely that the matter will wind up that
way.
David Overmyer said that he thought
there would be no need Of a contest, as
he was positive that the matter could
be settled by the council, and that in

Ayala, the minister of industry, sug-
gested that foreign money and immigra-
tion should be encouraged to develop
VehezuelesS resources. I'll annul every
concession held by a foreigner in this
country the dictator is alleged to have
said, and sell the concessions over
again"
Ir December he annulled all the con-
cessions of the various Orinoco conces-
Sicns-the trading company, the coloni-
cation company and the shipping and
transportation company. sll American
concerns, with headquarters IN New
York. The reason he gave for this pro-
cedure was that the companies had not
carried out the conditions named in their
contracts.
Previous to this he had annulled the
concession of the asphalt company in
the state of Bermudez. a concession
which for ten years or more had been
yiellingA the country a large annual rev.
enu5. He then sold the asphalt prop
erty, which had been purchased years
before in fee simple from the govern
ment of Venezuela. The asphalt COM
pany protested and carried its case into
the Venezuelan courts where it was re-
waIded with an adverse decision. Then
the company brought it's case to Wash
ington and placed it before the United
States government. The state depart
mert Immediately sent instructions re-
garding it to Minister Loomis in Car
acas. These Instructions LoOmiS carried
out to the letter.
This precipitated the present trouble
in Venezuela.
Meanwhile it is said by excellent au-
thoTities that each of the entire diplo-
matte corps in Caracas is posting his
government daily regarding the state
of affairs
Senior Augusta Pulido. charge d'affaires
of the Venezuelan legation at Washing
ton, examined the article with consider
able attention last night at the Waldorf
Astoria. He said:
I believe this article to be greatly ex-
aggerated. Cipriano Castro is not
dictator in any sense of the word He
won his Office by force of arms. but he
has obeyed the constitution since his
rise to power. I never heard of the re-
ported amendment to the constitution
whereby the term of Office of president
was extended from four years to six.
Andrade is not the real president~of
Venezuela. Neitheris Castro. The lat
ter is only a provisional president
do not know even if he will be elected
to that Office.

PULLS 1T BACK.
Russia WithdraWs the Treaty
Regarding Manchuria.
She Didn't Care Much About 1t
Anyway.
A WAR WITH JAPAN
Would Almost Certainly Have
Followed ITS Adoption.
viii Continue to Occupy the
Country just the Same.

New York, April GA dispatch to tho
Tribune from Paris says:
According to Information that reached
Paris from a source. regarded as Of un-
questionable authenticity. Russia has
withdrawn the proposed Alanchurian
treaty with China. This step is attrib-
uted to the personal instigation Of Em-
peror Nicholas, and ts accepted
as evidence of his determination TO
avoid at the present juncture any con
fiict with Japan. Coupled with this news
comes the statement that Russia does
not deem it expedient to withdraw any
of her troops now in Manchuria. and in
tends to maintain the status quo there
until Chinese government can be
established at Pekin strong and stable
enough to inspire Russian confidence for
the future
This courteous and unexpected with
drawal Of the proposed Manchurian con
vention, until now 50 aggressively urged
upon China, is regarded as an exceeding
ly clever move on the part Of Russia.
because that treaty. which could only
be wrung from China by renewed dras-
tic pressure would. after all, only secure
an empty international sanction of the
position which Russia already holds in
Manchuria, and the signing of the treaty
might render war with Japan
inevitable. The conviction pre-
walls generally in diplomatic circles
here that the International peace nego-
tiatlons with China win be greatly fa-
cilltated by Russia's withdrawal of the
convention which by postponing the set
tlement Of the Manchuriau difficulty re-
duces it to an affair of local interest
At <he same time. the present Russian
occupation of Manchuria is regarded
here, rightly or wrongly, as a parallel
case to the British occupation of Egypt
-as de facto possession that viii app
proach permanency as each year eIapses.
