TURNED OVER TO CASTRO.
vepesuelan President Must Now Con.
cIude Arbitration Preliminaries.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-The Venezuelan
government is now in possession or the
complete notes of Great Britain and Ger
many containing the various reservations
made by those governments before the de-
cision was reached that the issues between
Venezuela and the European governments
having claims against her should be re-
ferred to The Hague tribunal for arbitra-
ton. The United States having acted as
an Intermediary In the steps leading UP
TO the acceptance of arbitration now turns
over to the Venezuelan government the
formal work Of completing the basis for a
full hearing before The Hague. The notes
were transmitted TO the Venezuelan gov
ernment through United States Minister
Bowen at Caracas
Of1cials here are hopeful that the gov
rrnments interested will work harmonious
ly and conscientiously to reach an early
and final solution OF the trouble. The ad-
mIr,isfratioH Is anxious that there may
be an amelioration of the blockade. Ii
Il certain this government will use every
effort to have the blockade called of pend
tug consideration OF the questions at issue
By The Hague tribunal for the double rea-
ace to peace and order and because of the
harmful effects on American shipping TO
Venezuelan ports Just what the allied
governments have determined on in that I
regard IL is difficult To say, as Secretary
Hay uniformly has refused TO make pub
lie their reservations and demands as a
preliminary to arbitration feeling that such
Information should come from the goy-
ernments themselves

present are shut; shops there are closed
and the population is greatly excited but
there has been no disorder. The European
colony of Fez. numbering about twenty
persons, is taking no steps to leave the

numerous additions since his successes. and
he is already negotiating with the tribes

Have Resumed Hosfilities Against
Castro's Government.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao. Dec. 2S.-The
Venezuelan revolutionists have resumed ac-
tive hostilties against President Castro.
There occurred yesterday morning lively
engagement between 100 revolutionists un-
der General Riera and government forces
at Cuayarao. i'm the vicinity of Coro. De-
tails of the engagement are lacking, but it is
known here that the revolutionists had ar
tillery. The government forces were COM
manded by Gen. Refereno Castillo. General
Riera retained his position. The armistice
between the government and the revolu
tionists has just expired.
Gen. Zoilo Vidal and five other leading
supporters of General Matos, who had
sought refuge here. left the Island of Cura-
Gao early yesterday morning in a saiboat,
which took them in the direction of Cuma-
rebo, near Coro, on the Venezuelan coast.
The departure of these men is taken as
proof that the revolt against President
Castro is again active.
News has reached here from an authori-
tative source in Caracas that Vicente Co
mez, first vice president of the republic, in
tends to carry out a bold strategic stroke
against President Castro.

SOME FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
BILLS THAT BANKERS AND OTHERS
MAY DECIDE To URGE.
Changes in Present Laws That Are
Considered Desirable by Finan-
cial Interests.

Henry w. MARSHALL, of Lafayette, will be
the speaker of the House of Representa-
tives of the Sixty-third General Assembly
of Indiana A combination was effected
late last night whereby Warren G. Sayre,
of Wabash, and Joseph r. Morgan, of In
dianapolis. who have been active candi-
dates for the speakership. withdrew in
Marshalrs favor. and this undoubtedly in
sures the election of the Lafayette repre-
sentative.
a conference at the English Hotel last
night that was prolonged until after mid
night. AT it's close Representative Sayre
said to a Journal reporter:
''You may announce this morr'ng that
Henry Marshall has my permission, to be
the next speaker. am out of the race. 1
retire from the contest at this time be-
cause believe it to be the best thing to
do. 1 have friends who have said they
would stay with me TO the end, but that
would precipitate hard struggle that
might result in bitterness and a division
among the majority members of the
House."
few minutes later Representative Nor
gan authorized the announcement of his
withdrawal. He said: Mr.. Sayre and /
have been together all evening and a
result of our conference we have come to
the conclusion that we do not want to
force a bitter fight for the speakership that
would bring about srepetition of the
strained relations That existed between
some of the members of the majority and
the speaker two years ago. 1 concede Mr..
Marshall's election now, and I am satis-
fled that we shall have a harmonious and
entirely satisfactory session.
1t has been known for some days that
Marshall had a substantial lead in the
speakership race but the situation was
such that if all four of the candidates re-
mained in the contest an extremely bitter
fight might result. Now that Morgan and
Sayre have withdrawn Representative
Kirkman, of Richmond, is the only op-
ponent Mr.. Marshall will have, and while
he has not indicated his intention of do
ing so 1t is probable that he will also re-
tire. With Morgans and Sayre's strength
added to that which he already had, Mar
shall will have enough votes to insure his
election and several to spare.
The announcement of the combination of
the Marshall. Sayre and Morgan forces will
come as surprise to politicians at this
time, as it was not anticipated that such
an effective settlement of the speakership
contest could or would be made ten days
before the caucus.

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.



I'm General Assembly.
Financers expect bills to be introduced
in the Legislature this term that will be
calculated for the benefit of both bankers
and depositors. Two of the measures to be
introduced will be advocated by the Indiana
Bankers Association. Another, while not
indorsed by the association, in fact, not
having been brought before it, will have
the support of the bankers of the State with
few exceptions.
The bill that is not indorsed officially by
the bankers is one to exempt from State.
county and corporate taxation, State, coun-
ty and municipal bonds. 1t is the theory
that If these bonds are exempted 1t will
enable their issuance and sale at much
lower rates on interest. In order to stim-
ulate home investment in home securities
it is proposed to exempt all county bonds
held by residents of the county in which
they are issued. and all municipal bonds
held by residents OF the municipal corpora
tions by which they are issued from State,
county and corporation taxation. This
would make them particularly valuable for
home investment.
The bankers will ask the adoption of the
New York law in reference to the issuance
or checkS against DdnkS Wnen the person
issuing the checks has not funds sufficient
on deposit to pay the checks. Ii has been
found in Indiana that a man with Is cents
on deposit has issued checks TO creditors
for goods obtained to the amount of over
$1,000. Under The Indiana laws he could
not be prosecuted criminally.
AGAINST EXCESS CHECKS.
The bankers will ask that ii be made a
crime for any one to issue checks in excess
of the amount which he may have on de-
posit. This law works in the interest of
the commercial world generally and brings
because some depositors expect a bank to
take care of exces, checks.
The other law which the bankers want
passed Will affect warehouse receipts and
chattel mortgages. At present there is
vagueness attaching to the security OF
warehouse receipts. and they are not de-
sirable as negotiable paper. The desire Is
to remove all uncertainty by fixing the re-
sponsibility largely on the warehouse COM
panies. The most frequent escape from
the effectiveness of warehouse receipts has
been the claims OF other creditors TO SUBJ
sttution. When an attempt Is made TO
collect merchandise on warehouse re-
ceipt deposited collateral other creditors
have alleged substitution and pleaded that
the merchandise which was I'm storage was
not tire particular merchandise against
which the receipt was issued. The intent of
the bill to be introduced will be to make a
receipt good against any merchandise that
may be in storage. This would imply the
Identification OF the merchandise against
which the receipt is fssued.
ThdX Xchattel mortgage law Is largely I'm
the s pe direction. 1t will make II plain
