Negotiations in the Venezuelan
Controversy Wait Upon
CastrO's Decision
HE MAY REJECT RESERVATIONS
Minister Bowen, Acting as Represent
ative of Venezuela, Will Prepare a
Protocol to Precede the Work of The
Hague Tribunal, If the Parties to the
Controversy Agree.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The Venezue-
Ian negotiations now wait upon Cas-
tre. Minister Bowen has been fully ad-
vised by the state department of the
result of It's exchanges with the foreign
offices at London, Berlin and Rome, and
he has been charged to take the case in
hands himself and arrange the details
of a protocol which will precede sub
mission of foreign claims to arbitration
of the Hague tribunal. In SO doing
Bowen is acting, not as United States
minister, but as Venezuela's represan-
tative Officials here wish 1t distinctly
understood their functions ceased so
far as the Venezuelan difficulty is con-
cerned when they brought the parties
to the controversy together.
Berlin, Dec. 29.-Foreign Secretary
Won Rfchthofen is awaiting the receipt
of Castro's answer to the proposal to
submit the Venezuela dispute to arbi-
Itration of The Hague tribunal, with
certain reservations, before corre-
spending with Great Britain over the
personal tribunal or date for raising
the blockade. Assuming that Castro
declines to accept the reservations, will
arbitration fall thru ?" asked the Asso-
ciated Press of a foreign Office official,
who replied. "a settlement will be
reached by arbitration in any event"

Wanstead at GAS o'clock, but declares
positively that a few minutes later Dis
patcher j. G. Kerr. at London, called
him and ordered him to bust" or can
eel the order. Carson added:
About 1854, after calling Wyoming
and aseertaining that the freight was
there, the dispatcher called me rapidly
a half dozen times. When 1 answered
on the wire he told me to bust this
order | wrote bust it across the order
Just as No. was coming in. Conductor
McAuliffe came in and asked me what
the order board was out against him
for. j told MIN that we had an order
for him but the dispatcher had busted
IL. He asked me to hurry and write
him a clearance order, which | did.
After the train had started and was out
OF my reach the dispatcher learned that
the freight had left Wyoming. 1 told
him / could not stop No. 5, as it had
left. He Immediately began calling
Kings Court Junction, the station be-
tween Watford and Wanstead. on the
railroad wire, and tried to raise them
on a commercial wire. We both failed
TO do this, however, until after the ex-
press had passed the junction.
Carson admitted that he knew 1t was
against the rules of the company to
cancel train order without sending a
substitute for it, but said that the dis
patcher was his superior officer, and he
disliked to question his order or dis
pute his authority to take this action.
Dispatcher Kerr's order book in the
local Grand Trunk office does not show
that the order was busted or cancel
led, as Carson claims. According to
the book it was still in force and should
have been delivered te, the conductor of
the express. Kerr has not made any
statement even to the railroad officials,
and will not until he takes the stand
at the inquest.
Division Superintendent George @.
Jones, of Toronto. says that the rule
against cancelling or busting train
orders is the strictest in the company's
code.
II do not believe" he said tonight.
"that it has been violated since the
standard dispatching rules went into
effect. Dispatcher Kerr Is one of the
best and most efficient dispatchers in
cur service. have every confidence in
him."
