Unknown Woman Recently Sent to the Insane Asylum From 0g

Had Been Terribly Misused

mad been misused by hoboes, who were
lnfesting the neighborhood, although
Jnere was not evidence sufficient to
cause the arrest of any of them The
woman remained at the police station
about a week. When the city authori-
Ties got tired of caring for her. they
sent her to the county. telling The
county authorities she was insane. DIR.
Dickson, city physician. and DR.. Fern
lund signed the report pronOuncing her
insane, and on their report Judge Ro-
lapp committed her to the asylum. The
condition of the woman was such that
Sheriff Layne would not take her to the
asylum, fearing that she would die on
the train, and she remained at the
county jail until last Friday. When
left alone one night the woman in her
helpless condition rolled off her cot
against the steam radiator and was
badly burned Outside parties became
interested and called in another ply
stefan, and then Sheriff Layne took the
woman to the asylum.
Nothing was learned of the woman's
relatives or history, further than that
her name was Mary. Once she spoke of
a husband in Salt Lake, but at another
time she said her home was Butte

night, stated that he was not surprised.

cerebral hemOrrhage- He thought,
rather, that the woman's condition was
due to excessive drinking, but had
never considered her insane in the or
binary acceptance of that term.

NO TIME TO PALAvER.
Venezuela Had Twenty-four Hours to
Make Up Her Mind.


Berlin, Dec 9-While the limit of
time given to Venezuela in which to
make an answer to the ultimatums of
Germany and Great Britain is not dis
closed, the correspondent of the AssO-
ciated Press was officially informed
that it is very brief. The German for
eign Office still hopes that President
Castro will recognize the gravity of
the situation and yield at the last mo-
ment
Telegraphic communication from La
Guayra is slow. Events happening to-
day are not likely to be translated from
the cipher until tomorrow
The morning papers here make alb
soiutely no comment on the Venezuela
situation with the exception of the
Vorwaerts, which says that although
lngness to satisfy the German and
British demands, military action
against him has begun, and the Lokay
Anzeiger, which says that President
Castro's effort to drive a wedge be-
tween Germany and Great Britain have
failed"
1t was learned this evening that the
ultimatums did not fix time limit for
an answer, but that the officials of the
German and British legations were in
structed to leave Caracas at the end of
twenty-four hours after their delivery
If there was no prospect of a favorable
reply. The fact that they left is taken
to mean that President Castro does not
show signs Of giving in.

LAND LAWS GOOD ENOUGH.
Colorado Congressman Will Oppose
Their Repeal.
Especial to The HeraId.)


Washington, d. c., Dec Both
Colorado congressman are opposed TO
pending bills repeating the timber and
stone and desert land laws and the
communication clause of the homestead
act
Representative Bell takes the position
that while fraud may be perpetrated
under those laws, due diligence on the
part of the land officers would do much
TO eliminate such violations.
If further legislation is necessary, he
says. land Office fees should be dis
penSed with.
Both the Communication and desert
land laws are very beneficial in Colo
RADIO and like states, where they enable
settlers to acquire lands that could
never be settled under the regular
homestead laws.
Mr.. Shafroth agrees in these opinions
and insists that the timber law should
not be disturbed, but that settlers con-
tinue to get government timber at $3.50
an acre.

DROVO, Dec. "A strange woman,

morning at that institution, after lin
gering in a comatose state for four
days DR.. Hardy. the superintendent,
is of the opinion that her death was due
to cerebral hemorrhage, which is or

CARACAS. Venezuela, Dec. 9.-Presi-
dent Castro received the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press
at Mira Flores palace today. In reply
TO questions, the president Of Yene-
zuela said:
The Venezuelan government has not
received any. ultimatum, properly
speaking, but rather simultaneous re-
quests from Great Britain and Germa-
ny. The claims Great Britain asks
this government to settle are small, and
up to the present time we have not
been aware Of them. Never having
been presented. Venezuela has conse-
quently never refused to settle them.
Great Britains action, therefore is
without justification.
The Venezuelan government cannot
decide on foreign claims before the re-
volution has been entirely crushed. At
present the only aim of the govern
ment is the re-establishment of public
order, and other questions must neces-
sarily be subseryient to this object.
No Claims Presented
Nevertheless. TO prove Venezuelan's
desire to settle all pending claims in
confirmable manner the government is
sued a decree during the last session
of congress, dated Nc''. IS. creating a
committee TO which all pending claims
should be referred. No claims have
been presented to this committee and
no claims have been rejected. There
has been no denial of justice; why,
then. should foreign chancellOries inter-
vene, thereby ignoring our laws and
endeavoring to violate our national Sow
ereignty? We cannot understand this
action"
What do you intend to do in view
Of the present attitude of the powers?''
was asked.
Enforce our rights" replied Presi-
dent Castro, and explain to the world
that Venezuela has laws and prove that
we have never denied our engage
ments."
Castro Astonished.
The president was asked what reply
the Venezuelan government would
make to the requests handed it by
Germany and Great Britain.
He replied, after rejecting:
The Venezuelan government is as
tonished that after the notes which
were transmitted to it by the diplo-
matte representatives of Germany and
Great Britain these ENJOYS should leave
Caracas without waiting the reply of
the Venezuelan government
Questioned as TO what course he in
tended to pursue should the powers de
clare a blockade, the president excused
himself from answering.
No ultimatum had been delivered to
the Venezuelan government up TO ,
o'clock this afternoon. Should Vene-
zuela refuse or fail to reply to the
notes of Great Britain and Germany it
IS believed that an ultimatum viii then
be delivered. This ultimatum would be
transmitted by Admiral Glass, com
handing the combined British and
German fleets. or by the captain of the
British cruiser RetributiOn.
