In all probability something definite

Ii is suggested al the state and navy
departments that he is going there so
that he may send dispatches without
fear Of their being tempered with by
the Venezuelan government. II is even
probable that he may have some OF
Minister LOOMS dispatches.
Curacao Is In the Dutch West Indies,
and there are several points In Nene-
2uela where Lieut. Comdr. Sargent
could coal II the situation were not so
strained. Porto CGbel,o, for instance, Is
half way between laguayra and Cura-
Goa. 1t Is a small port town on the
Venezuelan coast where American war
vessels frequently coal. and the Scor-
pion win pass il on her way 20 Curacao.
Naval officers say that II the Scorpion
Is really going so FAR out of her way 10
coal II is because difficulties are placed
In the way Of her getting IL az a Nene-
zuelan port
1t is hardly believed that the Nenezu-
elan government would go so far as 10
refuse point blank 20 let an American
vessel coal al Porto Cabello or any
other Venezuelan port, but there are a
number OF ways in which the same end
could be reached without an absolute
refusal The authorities could, for in
stance. claim that they were out Of
coal. or they could raise the price.
There are still no dispatches from
Minister LOOMS bearing on the situa-
ton. The Venezuelan authorities have
allowed him 10 send one dispatch, but II
does not bear IN any way, II is asserted,
upon the trouble between the two coun-
tries and relates 10 an unimportant
matter Of routine. If he has succeeded
IN getting dispatches into Lieut.. Comdr
Sargents hands. they should be here

Vaccination Still an Open Question
Right to Plant Disease Denied.
To the Edltor

To the Editor;
In your issue Of the 18th inst. I read
with we'll with Disappointment that
portion Of the Governors message
which recommends the Legislature 10
"vindicate' the action of the state
board Of health, and 20 strengthen Its
hands by refusing TO restrict any Of Its
present powers"
Now, II We accept the Interpretation
Of this law as it is given by the board
and a few Of its sympathIzers, then as
Il now stands II Is clearly defective. for
the reason Il enables one irresponsible
man 10 deliberately trample upon the
rights and liberties OF citizens. and by
his excited cry ~ wolf, wolf, TO precip.-
tate a panic, FAR more harmful than
any condition he seeks 90 avert.
This Is not merely surmise Of what
might occur, but a statement Of what
has actually taken place and when
Governor Wells admits, inferentially
there are two sides 20 the veNed ques-
ton Of vaccination. then Il courteous re-
gard for the honest convictions Of those
who have no faith In II. should pruUpt
"a more COndlerate regard for thor
wishes. His eXcellency must certainly
know that a very large proportion Of
the people IN this state are opposed 10
vaccination. and that any attempt 10
make IL compulsory win surely be I'M
dlgnantly resented as an unwarranted
invasion OF their rights
Recognizing the fact that those who
are opposed % any phase of compulsory
vaccination are overwhelmingly In the
majority IN this State the Legislature
