THE VENEZUELAN DIFFICULTY
Ignore the Position of the
United states.
ispecial 10 rhe post.l

Washington, January i2.-The asphalt
controversy ia Venezuela bids fair to
become at least a very troublesome at-
fair.
Adyices from Minister LOOMS at Car
aess indicate an intention on the part Of
the Venezuelan government to ignore
the position taken by the United States
In the asphalt lake controversy ana
proceed TO disp0ssess by force the New
York and Bermudez company from its
concession In the department OF Sucre.
On the basis Of the advices from Cir.
LOOMS the government mas entered o
vigorous remonsrahce against action by
the executive authority OF Venezuela un-
III the courts OF that country nave rem
dered decision in the case. Should
venezuela send troops 10 evict the New
YORK and Bermudez company conflict
Is almost certain TO occur as the com
Pany has large number OF employees
on the ground who are said TO be armed
and are willing to fight for the rights of
their principals
The hrst attempt of the government
Of Venezuela to dispossess the New York
and Bermudez company was made
through the abrogation Of the company's
concession. The company appealsc to
the Venezuelan courts. which rendered
decision that the action OF the govern
ment was illeRal as the concession could
he abrogated only through judicial pro-
ceedings and not by the executive. Later
the executive government attempted to
dispossess the company under the con
tention that the asphalt lakes, which the
company were working were not within
the limits OF the concession as defined
by Venezuela.
The Venezuelana authorities thereupon
gave new concession covering the as
pha1t lake known as La Fellcidad TO some
OF Its citizens who transferred the
rights to Warner & Quinn OF Syracuse,
n. Y.
The Venezuelan government now seeks
to evict the New York and Bfrnudez
company on the contention that Il occu-
pies property that is not within the limits
OF its concession.
The United States government IA, in
sisted that the matter be referred TO the
Venezuelan courts for settlement and
Vene2uela's refusal t. abide by this
mode OF adjustment msy result seriously

months. occurred at Pawnee at an early
hour Tuesday mornong. tree prisoners
escaping by climbing through hole in
the ceiling and descending by means of
knotted blankets to the ground. The
delivery occurred in almost identically
the same manner as that which preceded
it on Friday night, April 18th. At that
time the prisoners cut hole in the cell
ing of the mems department and three
Of them got away. Twenty-one other
prisoners were in the jail but the dis
covery of the delivery prevented their
escape.
Those who made their departure Tues
day morning were Walter Brown, Ben
Newman and Bill Campbell. The latter
is a negro
The escape of the three prisoners was
discovered about daylight in the morn
ing when their blanket rope was seen
hanging on the north side of the jail. A
sban posse was Immediately deputized
and started under command of Sheriff
Crismon to search for the culprits Tele-
gram and telephone messages were also
sent to officers in surrounding towns.
Sheriff Crismon and Under Sheriff Hen

ARE CATCHING SUCKERS.
Bogus TcwnsItes In the Hands of
Clever Grafters.

Clever Grafters.
Granite, Q. T., July 27.-1he Enterprise,
in kicking or bogus townsites, says that
reports from everywhere are to the ef-
feet that companies have been organized
in the different border towns Of the new
county, claiming they have 4 right to sell
lots in towpsites other than the three
county seats selected by the government
A representative Of one of these compan-
les was in this city a few days since.
selling lots in g. townsite on the Rock
Island railroad south of Mountain View
for $ q. lot, and as q rich fake reward
sold property to some four or five of our
citizens.
Now everybody ought to know that this
IS pure and simple bogus proposition,
and the man who contributed to the fund
Of these fake schemers will realize in the
near future that the amount contributed
by him had JUS as well been dropped in
The mouth of Mt. Vesuvius.
AS proof of our warning we clip be-
low what Secretary Hitchcock has 10 say
in reard to these townsite falCirs, and
we hope no more Of our citizens will be
caught in their embrace:
The secretary also said that reports
are coming into the department of
schemes for the disposing of numerous
townsites, the promoters Offering chances
to the public. THE only townsites which
have been authorized the secretary said.
are those Of the three county seats.
No others have been sanctioned and no
one knows where they viii be, hence all
except those three are bogus and re-
ports of their establishment should be
denounced as intended TO deceive the
public"

LOW FOR SENATOR.
Topeka Man said To Have Consented
At Last


At Last.
Topeka, Kans., July I'm. A Low will
be a candidate for United States senator
in 1905 That IS the word being passed
around at any rate by friends Of Senator
J. r. Burton. They claim that Mr. Low
has at last decided TO allow his name
to be used in that capacity and that when
the proper time comes he wiz begin an
| active canvass.
Numbers of Senator Burton's friends
have long been anxious for Mr.. Low to
make the race. They realize how much
Mr.. Low contributed to Mr.. Burton's cleo
ton last winter and they think he would
have great strength in all parts of the
state. Ever since the close Of the recent
session fthe legislature, they have been
endeavaring TO induce Mr.. Low to be-
come a candidate, but it is understood
had met with little success up to the
present time
Mr. Low has been very 10th to enter
the field. He encouraged, it is said. Con-
gressman Curtis to become a candidate
and assured him their relations would be
most friendly. Mr. Curtis and Mr.. Low
have always been good personal as well
q POAAAlNaA 4IlCLN5s dAAA A4lC ACbOAN NAieN|
the latter VIII be a candidate has occa-
stoned considerable surprise. Mr.. Low
left.for Colorado Thursday and the story
that he had decided to become candi-
date could not be confirmed.
The opinion is expressed by some Of Mr..
Lows friends that if Mr.. Low becomes an
active candidate Mr.. Curtis will retire in
his favor. Friends Of Mr.. Curtis, how
ever, assert that this is not the case.
They say he Will be a candidate for Uni
ted States senator in any event and pre-
dict that he viii be the strongest man in
the race from the fact that the First and
Fourth districts will probably line up
solidly for him.
Should both Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Low be
candidates it would probably improve the
chances of Governor Stanley. The latter
has been making an active fight for the
place, and in a three-cornered struggle
would have to be counted upon. Senator
Fred Dumont Smith of Kinsley, Senator
J. K. Cubbison Of Kansas City. Congress-
man J. D. BoweTsock of Lawrence, and
Congressman w. A. Calderhead of Marys-
vile are mentioned as candidates, but it
is considered doubtful if they will enter
the race. They are, however, standing in
the background and if an opening pre-
sented itself undoubtedly would get into
the fight.
