Washington, Aug. The navy de-
partment has refused to accede to
Admiral Schley's suggestion that the
language in the fifth specification of
the precept to the court of inquiry
be modified. The admiral in his let
ter challenged that specification,
which states as a fact that he had
disobeyed orders and suggested that
it be modified. The department it is
reported declines to make the sug-
gested modification on the ground
that according to the official records
Admiral Schley himself acknowledged
that he had disobeyed orders. The
disobedience of orders was In estab-
lished fact, whether unwillingly Or
willingly.
Rear Admiral Kimberly will not be
a member of the Schley court of in
quiry. His request to be relieved
from the detail on the ground Of i'll
health has been granted by the navy
department and the department is
now considering the question of his
successor.

Port of Spain, Island Of Trinidad,
Aug. 1.-The Venezuelan minister of
war, Senior Pulido, who is the leader
of an important political party, has
resigned, after a violent scene in the
cabinet during which the minister re-
fused to accede to the orders of Pres
indent Castro to recognize the revo-
lutionists in Colombia, and to deliver
a passport to Senior Rico, the Colon
bia minister.
Senior Pulido denies that the in.
vaders of Venezuela territory are
Colombians as President Castro
claims, but insists that they are revo
lutionists.
The resignation of the war minister

Official confirmation of the status

outlined by the Associated Press last
night was given in the current issue
Of the Amalgamated Journal which
is the organ of the association. The
executive board of the organization
is in fact waiting for a word from
J.. Pierpont Morgan. After the board
has heard from President Shaffer con
corning his trip to New York last
week, it was decided to request a
Morgan and sent a message to MI.

this matter in explanation Of this
matter the Juornal says: "The ex-

On the efforts of the executive

Publication Unauthorized.

Salt Lake City, Aug. When
shown a Washington dispatch stating
that the war department would take
c%ognizance Of the published inter
view regarding the court of inquiry
upon his father, Rear Admiral Schley,
Captain Thomas F. Schley, who is
stationed at Fort Douglas, in this city,
today stated that the interview as
published was wholly unauthorized.
AL l said in the matter" continued
Captain Schley, twas that was
naturally Schley partisan and hoped
that my father would be fully vindi-
Gated. Surely there is nothing in a
son wishing his father success. I
positively declined to enter into a dis
cussion of the merits of the matter.
In the first place, l am not competent
to discuss the case because l know
nothing of it. My father has never
spoken of the matter to me, and has
never mentioned it in his letters. If
my father has anything up his sleeve
he has never notified me of the fact"

CHICAGO BAKER SUICIDES TO
AVOID ARREST.
H0RSEWHIpPED IN SALOON
By Irate Mother Of Four-Y Year Old
Girl Baby Whom He Had
Mistreated.

Chicago, Aug. Following a horse
whipping he had received at the
hands of an irate mother, the body of
3Gottfried Schubert, a baker, living at
14O Clayburn avenue, was found dead
today on the beach at Oak street.
It is supposed that the man, fearing
the disgrace which would follow his
chastisement and possible arrest, de-
cided to end his life. The woman
whose defense OF her child drove the
man to his death is Mrs. Mary Han
sen of 4S Claybourn avenue. She pur-
sued the nan into a saloon, where she
administered to him a sound lashing
with a horse whip. Shortly after that
he disappeared and was not seen again
alive.
A peculiar coincidence is that. last
March, the mans brother, Stephen
Schubert, committed suicide by
drowning himself in the Milwaukee
river. Newspaper clippings telling of
the suicide were found in the dead
mans clothing and, it is thought,
furnished him with the idea of death
by drowning.
The affair which eliminated in the
horse whipping of the dead man oc-

Hansen sat in the front window of
her fiat when her attention was at
tracted by the screams of a child.
Looking out she saw her ~4-year-old
daughter Adele in the hall way of a
building across the street. Schubert,
Mrs. Hansen declares, was ill-treating
her daughter, whose fright had eau
ed her to scream. Picking up a horse
whip which was in the hallway, Mrs.
Hansen ran to the defense of her
child, she says. Schubert saw her
coming, and. releasing the child, ran
toward Cleveland n Mrs. Han.
sen caught up near enough to- lash
him with the whip and Schubert ran
into the saloon of Joseph Kohland
Mrs. Hansen went into the saloon
and learned from Kohland that the
man had sought refuge in a small
room in the rear. She threw open the
door and welded the whip vigorously
Mrs. Hansen then took her daughter
home. She intended to secure the
arrest of Schubert and this fact it is
believed caused the man to disappear

Hansen when informed of Schubert:

Explanation BY Consul.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The men who are
trying to overthrow the Venezuelan
government by exciting revolt in the
western mountains and by trying to
draw Colombia into the trouble are
friends of former President Andade,
says Pedro Alvizus, Venezuelan con-
sui in Chicago. when the ex-presi-
dent vas expelled some Of the noun
tain people were still in sympathy
with him, but they are few in number
and can accomplish little. They are
trying to induce Columbia to take
their side against President Castro
and the government now in control
in Venezuela. I do not think they
can succeed in that. The heads OF
the two governments are on the best
Of terms and there is not the slightest
enmity between the two peoples. DIR,
Garviros, leader of the revolution,
may possibly be able to find a few
recruits among Colombians, but they
will be so very few that they will not
add materially to his forces.
There is another reason why the
Colombian government will not inter
fere with the affairs in Venezuela
Colombia is herself engaged in sup
pressing a revolution at the present
moment"

Bank Robbers Arrested.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. IA spec.
ial to the Sentinel from Goshen, Ind,
says: Private detectives employed
by the Akron, Ohio, Banking institu-
ton, arrested two men in a local
gambling house which resulted in re-
covering about $4,000 in currency
and gold coin. The two men who
were captured had rifed the vault in
the Akron bank ten days ago. They
were traced here and arrested. All
the money was recovered.

Must Not Talk.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The war de-
partment has taken cognizance of the
published interview of Captain
Thomas F. Schley, regarding the
court of inquiry upon his father, Rear
ADMIRAL Schley. 1t is understood that
the department informed the captain
that such interviews are contrary to
army regulations. 1t is not believed
that a general order directing army
officers not to talk for publication
about such matters will be necessary.

bitter end.

Picnic Days.

Under the spreading chestnut tree
The well filled baskets stand.
Containing chicken, pies and things,
The work OF Bridget's hand,
And way off in the distance there's
A blaring country band.
Dick battles with a bumblebee,
And Bob, with youthful zest.
Falls from the lofty chestnut tree,
And papa and the rest
Proceed to eat the lunch upon
A yellow jackets nest!
The gentle rainstorm rolls around,
And when the day is late
They homeward wend their weary ways
And turn inside the gate
And lie in bed and wonder just
Hos many ants they ate.

MORGAN SAYS NO.
Refuses to Open Discussion Of Wage
Schedule.

Pittsburg, Aug. THE Commercial
Gazette tomorrow will say:
The Amalgamated executive board
last evening received by telegraph a
fat refusal from ]. Pierpont Morgan
to reopen the wage schedule discus
sion where it was broken off at Hotel
Lincoln nearly three weeks ago. The
powers that be in the steel combina-
ton, insist in this communication:
that the only terms of settlement of
the strike will be on the terms which
the financial hacker of the combina-
ton, President c. M. Schwab, and
Chairman E. Gary laid down at the
meeting with the A~malgamated ex-
ecutive committee last Saturday.
A member of the executive board
of the association said last night:
"These terms are denominated, by
those who have the best interest of
the steel workers at heart, as the
most unjust and most unfair ever
proposed to any body of workers by
a set of employers or a corporation.
The terms are such that the members
of the executive board of the Anal
gamated association cannot accept
and have already gone on record to
that effect"
Tomorrow the answer of Mr.. Nor
gan is expected by mail. There is
scarcely a fragment of hope that the
Amalgamated association will back
down from it's well known position
Leaders of the organization will, in
reply, outline their plans to the steel
