Says He NH Sentence Them
 for One Year
JOINS IN THE CRUSADE
With Judge Jones and Judge Feaall, After Them the Way of the Pistol Toter Promises to
 Be Hard.

Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States court said in court yesterday that if any one was discovered in his court carrying a concealed weapon that he would be sent to the penitentiary for one year.
 The remark of the judge was occasioned by his seeing the handle of pistol pro- truding from the pocket of a man who was in the elevator when Judge Jones went to the court room yesterday after noon. The judge further stated that no one was allowed to bear weapons in his court except the marshal or his deputies, and if any one else was found with a weapon he would be punished.
 Judge Feagin of the police court has for some time been making war on those who carry concealed weapons, and Judge Jones has, in the statement made yester- day. placed himself in the same position in the fight against the pistol toters."

JURY FINDS NOSE
 WILLIAMS GUILTY
WAS ONE OF A BAND OF coNsPIR- AToRs WHO PASSED COUNTER FEET MONEY AND HAD THE
 ONE RECEIVING IT ARRESTED.

Nose Williams, who was convicted in the United States court yesterday on a charge of counterfeiting, was connect ed with rather remarkable plan for making money.
 It is claimed that Williams made a lot of counterfeit money to be used by a party formed for the purpose of swearing falsely against persons, after being the means of their arrest. and hoping in this way to receive money as witness fees. It is said the agreement among the members of the party was to swear that they received the counterfeit money from persons whom they had had arrested.
 The counterfeit money was distributed among the party. and soon several arr rests followed, when it was discovereu that a conspiracy had been entered into. As result of the investigations and sub sequent trials, John A. Terry, William Pruitt and D. A. Spriggs were sent to the penitentiary.'
 Williams, at the time of the discovery of the conspiracy, escaped, going to North Carolina, where he was arrested.

James-Warde.

The acme of realism is reached in the great storm scene of "The Tempest which comes to the Jefferson theater next Saturday matinee and night, with Louis James and Frederick Warde in the prin- cipal roles. Experts dn stage craft have pronounced the mechanical contrivances which simulate the tempest marvellously ingenious. Other scenes include the En- chanted Isle, which seems to be pervaded with an atmosphere of fairyiand. and the Coral Cave, with it's distinct creation of the scene-painter's art. MT, James will be seen in the character of Caliban, a fayorite of his, which he has long desired to enact, while Mr. Warde will essay the role of Prospero.

nThe Tyranny of Tears."

'erhe Tyranny of Tears" at the Jeffer- son last night was play of English do- nestle life in four acts, and those acts were fuller of talk than of action. But Paul Gilmore as Clement Parbury, the novelist, who has young wife and also a pretty secretary, was so natural and so effective. and even so intense, that the long talks in the play were not dis tasteful. The plot is simple. A young wife much given to tears is separated from her husband by seeing the pretty secretary kiss her husbands photograph. Miss Hanson as the fearful wife is nearly as good in her part as MT. Gilmore is in his. The company Is small but choice, and the play of domestic ups and downs was cleveriy presented. MT. Gilmore and his company In "The Tyranny of Tears deserved a better house than they at- tracted, but this fact does not detract from their merits.

President Castro declared Vene-

debts due time. He has pointed
out that the state now has nc
money, having justfnished revo.
luton and internal wars that left
her impoverished. All he asks is
time for the country to recover Sc
that it may be able to pay, which
is entirely reasonable. He is will
ing to place the terms of settlement
in the hands of United States
which certainly does not indicate 9
desire to repudiate the country't
obligations. It is pointed out that
Venezuela is rich in resources of all
kinds and can liquidate her indebt.
edness in due time if permitted tc
enjoy a brief interlude of peace
and the opportunity to re- establish
the now PROSTATE conditions oil
industry and commerce, The
country needs only tranquility,
order and security to regain all
that she has lost.
1t is significant that France 40,
cepted this arrangement. 1t may
be more fitting to say that it is sig.
nificant that England and Ger
many decline to accept these reas.
enable terms. it would seem tc
indicate that the mere liquidation
of paltry obligations, which all told
do not amount to more than five
millions, is not their main object
in sending their fleets to Venezule
and goading the helpless little
republic into war.
All of which brings US up hard
against the cold fact that England
and Germany can have no Other
object in Venezula that is in con
sonance with the Monroe Doctrine
And the United States now has or
the ground the most powerful
American feet ever gotten together
for the purpose of seeing that tn,
Monroe Doctrine is not violated.
This is the highly interesting
situation up to date. Evidently
the crisis is not far off Wheeling
