BOWEN ASKED TO MEDIATE
Venezuela Evidently Fright
 ened by the Situation.
The State Department Seems of the Opinion That It is Now Too Late to Settle the
 Imbroglio by Means
 of Arbitration.

Washington, Dec. 12.-(Special) )-There is a distinctly nervous feeling In Con- gressional circles late tonight over the Venezuelan developments.
 Cool heads are cautiously non-commit- tai; hot heads are talking unguardedly ugly. Trouble lies in some possible fn- fiammatory resolution offered in the House which might precipitate wild de- bate and insane action. There is an un- reasoning sympathy for Venezuela. a kind of feverishness that may develop to be gravely offensive to Germany and Great Britain. Men who have votes which might make for calamity are suf- fering their passions to rise.
 The situation here is grave enough to cause serious concern to conservative minds.
 Postmaster General Payne's tacit ad- mission that the Washington Star is the administrators organ lends national in- terest to the distinctly bellicose editorial in tonight's Star regarding the Vene- zuelan embroglio in which reference is made to "unwarranted and oppressive ac- tions' on the part of Great Britain and Germany. Certainly it is disquieting that the presence of our great fleet in West Indian waters at this juncture constitutes a temptation for our government to fa- tally make fool of itself.

Will Fuse With Trust ComPahJ'
 Announcement of Consolidation.
 New York, Dec. RIA banking conson- dation was announced today which will hrn~ into harmony the large financial and insurance interests of the Mutual Life Company, the Equitable Life As surAnce Association and the Morton lrust Company.
 This was brought about by the meetings of the directors of the National Bank or the United States, which was acquired some months ago by the interest which control the trust company and of the Western National Bank. The directors or the Bank of the United States voted to amalramate with the Western and raise the capital to d, 900 GOO. The directors of the Western National in which the Equf- able is largely interested voted to fuse with the National Bank of the United States upon a basis mutually agreed upon by the interest in control
 The new bank will continue under the management of V. P. Snyder, the Presi- dent of the Western, and will occ@py for the present the offices of the Western Bank. The new institution will be known as the Western Bank of the United States.
