gins it becomes apparent that none OF

lurl tendencies. The assault was wit
messed by a crowd standing near at the
time. but no one interfered to prevent
Sitter from being badly beaten. While
Wood had his victim down beating him.
his companion, who is unknown to the
police stood nearby and dared any che
to interfere
Sitter was lying unconscious III the
street when Officer Bryant arrived. The
officer started out to arrest the assailant.
and from descriptions given by bystand-
ers, he located Wood in g saloon on
Broad Just below Seventh street. ard

son finally got Sitter on his feet. He
was bleeding profuseiy from, the terrible
cash under the eye. his lip was split and
he had been severely kicked. DR.. Fleg-
enheimer of the ambulance corps pro-
nounced the wound as having been in

While at the station. the injured man
seemed unwilling to say: who struck him,
but he finally stated that Wood was the
man who attacked him. He assigned
no reason for the assaHlt.-,A large GROVE

with difficulty that Officer Bryant could

WASHINGTON, D. c. December 20
President Roosevelt has proposed to the
allied powers that the Venezuelan dispute
be submitted TO the arbitration OF the
Hague tribunal The powers have replied
with q counter proposition that President
Roosevelt himself arbitrate the issues.
These were the developments overnight
il the Venezuelan matter, and they seem
to Justify tbs prediction made i'll these
dispatches that The critical point has
loeon passed President Roosevelt does
not wish 10 act as arbitrator i'll this dis
pute. Tor as such II is felt here
he would b. at once judge, jury
and constable, and would be under
the moral obligation to execute his
own judgment The President feels that
a reference to the Hague tribunal would
vastly strengthen the cause of arhtra-
ton. Still, rather than see the present
DISPUTE proceed to extremes, it is proha-
bic that the President will reluctantly as
sumo the duties Of arbitrator 1t IS fully
reyalized that any decision rendered by
him III that capacity would be sure to
bring him enmity Of one or the other Of
the parties TO the controversy, and this
fact was pointed out TO the President
carly in the week by a leading Senator
who had been called into consultation.
Nevertheless, 10 prevent bloodshed and
the destruction OF property, and interfer-
ence with great commercial interests,
that would result in loss. it is believed
that the President would assume the
