DIED. IN PAIRS.
Two Young Couples Commit Sui
eide.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 1.-Two
young women and two young men
were found dead tonight in rooms at
a boarding house on East Russell
street, and evidence points to quad
ripple suicide, deliberately planned.
The dead are: Pearl Warner, aged
%, second cook at Manhattan restau-
rant. Lou Kline, aged 10, third cook
at same restaurant. Sherman 10th
house, cab driver. John Jacobs, chief
cook at Manhattan restaurant.
The two couples went to the board
ing house Sunday and secured adjoin-
ing rooms. Today nothing was seen
of them and though the rooms remain
ed locked and no response could be
secured to repeated calls, suspicion
vas not aroused until tonight. Finally
the doors to the rooms were forced
and the occupants were discovered
lying on the beds dead. The keyholes
and cracks around the doors had been
closed with rags, and the fumes of
chloroform filled the rooms, disclos-
ing the cause of death. 1t was evil
dent that both couples had planned
suicide but the motive is not known.

TROUBLES MULTIPLYING
VENEZUELA THREATENS GER
MANY WITH REPRlSALS.

Willemsted, Island of Curacou, Dec.
18.-La Republica, Venezuelan official
organ at Caracas, published an editor
ial yesterday ending as follows:
eff the German government is in
formed that the presence of a few war
ships will suffice to enforce arrange
ment of her outstanding claims, it has
been deceived. Venezuela is conscious
that she is an independent nation, the
equal of other states, and she is de-
termined to defend that independ-
ence and equality. She is DESTROYS
of peace, but if necessary she can
cause hurt to her enemies, and exer-
else terrible reprisals. General Cas-
tro is determined on this. He will not
suffer Venezuela to be Inundated or
allow her rights to be despised."
Other Venezuelan papers comment
on the situation in a similar strain.
There is excitement at Caracas over
military scandals involving Generals
Davila and Sanchez. After his ap-
pointment as military commandant
at Caracas, Davila insulted the war
minister in the street. He has been
deprived of his command.
Ugly charges from Guajira are made
against General Davila in Mara Caibo.

WILL REPORT FAvoRABLy
SENATE COMMITTEE ON MILL.
TARY SATISFIED.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The senate
committee on military affairs today
agreed to report favorably all army
nominations before it, except those to
staff positions, concerning which ques-
lions have been raised. The excep-
tions which were not passed upon
were the nominations of Captain Will
liam Crozier, to be chief Of the ord
nance bureau, with rank of brigadier
general; Colonel George L. Gillespie,
to be chief of engineers, and General
George B. Davis to be judge advocate
general, and other nominations de-
pendent upon these three.
Owing to the fact that the commit
tee will not meet again before adj
journment for the holidays, action by
the senate on these nominations will
necessarily be postponed until after
the ~re-convening of congress on Jan
uary 6. 1t is specially stated by mem
bers of the committee that the delay
is only for the purpose of investigat-
ing the circumstances attending the
various nominations.
The nominations to be f%avorably
reported include several hundred
names. Among them is that of Gen
eral Funston, to be brigadier general.

1t is understood that the command
ers' desire in naming this committee
was to secure that would consid-
er the interests of the government
equally with those of veterans. Judge
Torrance does not occupy a position
of hostility to the present admins
tration of the pension bureau, but
wishes to see that the old soldier is
protected as the law provides and
that he gets just what a liberal gov
ernmemnt desires he should have.
The whole pension question was re-
ferred by the Cleveland encampment
to the commander-in-chief and the
committee named today.
