For starter l would suggest an

plan of the one from Rock Island to
Milan-say extend the Milan line.
The city could fix those bridges at
Milan so that electric ears could
cross and by so doing would save
building new bridges across Rock
river. also numerous other bridges,
should they conclude to follow along
the river which was talked of a few
years ago. The route from Milan to
Andalusia is much better than along
the river. There would he less
bridging and very little grading TO
be done as against the river route.

Columbus, O.. Dec. 1G.-Because OF
charges of a serious nature State In
surance Commissioner Voris, through
Attorney General Sheets, began pro-
ceedings today in the Hamilton coun~
ty circuit court to oust from its char

This is one of the newer fraternal Or

The action is brought, the petition

with Intentionally falsifying the an

liabilities to be $3,750 when they
were $6,0e6.S0.

that the officers were in the habit of
insuring members for $500, settling

The pool of oil which was struck
on the j. w. Reinohl farm near Sippo
last week was shot late Tuesday af-

charge of William Reynold an expert
from West Virginia.
Many persons from Massillon besides

RAILROADS
RESPONSIBLE
Minister Loomis Thinks Foreign En-
terpTise Caused the Vene-
zueIan War.
COUNTRY COULD NOT MEET DEBTS.

Springfield, o., Dec. II. - The for.
eign railroad systems in Venezuela arc
largely responsible for the present trou
BILE in that country. An inability on
the Iart of the Venezuelan government
to meet her obligations to German and
English capitalists who had invested
many millions of dollars in railroads
and the work of the reyolutionists who
damaged these lines, added crisis tc
crisis until the present trouble camt
as a natural climax"
This statement was made yesterday
by ex-United States Minister TO Vcn-
ezuela Frank B. Loomis, who with his
wife was the guest of G.. II. Frey. Mr.
Loomis, who is at present United
one of the best informed men in the
United States on Venezuelan matters
"a few years ago" said Mr.. Loomi5
"a party of German capitalists, backed
by their government, invested the
sum of $12 100000 in the construction
OF a railroad between Laguira AMI
Caracas Between the two cities is a
lofty spur of the Andes, forming for
midable barrier to travel. The labor
expended on the road was enormous
and when finally the last rail was laid
at Caracas, one of the most difficult
feats of engineering in the history of
South America, had been accomplished.
The Venezuelan government had made
an agreement with Germany that the
bonds of the company should bear al
least per cent. interest, but after
TWO years, seeing that this undertaltin J
was more than it could carry out. the
government entered into another con-
tract which reduced the per cen.
interest to 3.
At this period revolutions were mere
than usually frequent in Venezuela
The insurgents had no respect for the
rev road nor consideration for ita
builders Rail after rail was torn up
trans wrecked, and traffic in frequent
cases delayed FOR weeks. In some in
passengers on the road were endangered
The Venezuelan government was un-
able to pay the 5 per cent. interest on
the railroad bonds agreed upon.
England also had eyes on the com
try and backed an expensive road
from Puerto Cabello into the eastern
section of the country. Much the same
proposition was made in this case as
with Germany and the result was tha'
when half a dozen revolutions had
passed over that section, the govern =
ment realized that il had 4 debt
amounting to many millions on its
shoulders. In the condition of the
country it was impossible to liquidato
this.
