JOHNSON AFTER
THE CRIMINALS

Judge Johnson, In so far as he has
the power, undoubtedly intends to
check the robberies and burglaries
which have been committed In this city
for several months past. and Ii Is very
likely that few more sentences like
those imposed upon number of GRIM
inals, who have confronted him in the
past two weeks, VIII have n wonderful
effect upon the criminals in this COM
munity. AT any rate he evidently in
tends 10 see that those who have been
convicted and sentenced by him do not
have an opportunity to commit crimes
for some time to come.
This morning Charles Lade, the negro
who robbed Jerry Farrell Of q sum OF
money In the Atlas block several days
ago, and who Is wanted in ogden, Poca-
tello and other places for various
crimes was sentenced 10 serve ten
years In the state prison for the crime
10 which he entered a plea Of guilty
yesterday morning. In passing SEN

RAILWAY 'rlE-UP.
That on New York Elevated Caused
Great Inconvenience.

Manager r. s. Campbell Of the Light
& Power company, who has Just re-
turned from New York. was in Goth
am last Thursday night, at the time
of the big Elevated railway tie-up. he
says probably half a million people
were seriously Inconvenience by the
trouble which was caused by the third

sleet and ice so as to become thorough

done by the railway management was
TO send men along the line with hastily
improvlsed scrapers 20 clear the ran.
and AZ times, sudden contacts were
made by the motors that sent great,
flashing sheets OF lightning flying into
the air. For IS hours the interference
with traffic continued. and as people
came out Of the theaters Thursday
night. the question OF getting home for
those living at any distance was really
serious. However, the management OF
the railways is now In possession OF a
device which promises 10 keep the third
rail clear. no matter what the weather
NAV chance 20 be. Mr.. Campbell says
The weather was vigorously and vigor-
ously unpleasant while he was Ia the

Berlin. Dec, B-Aside from the finan-
clal claims mentioned In her ultimatum
Germany expects some form Of apology
from Venezuela for the diplomatic in
suits which the foreign office says are
more serious and more gross than those
of which Great Britain complains. The
foreign office officials point out that Pre-
mier Balfour's remark yesterday even
ing in the British house OF commons
about Germany having other than
financial claims must be understood as
applying to diplomatic reparatIon for
the insults and not to material indem-
nifty like money or territory
The foreign Office is again calling at
tentlon to the suspicious In the United
States lest Germany effect landing In
Venezuela. 1t says refutation Of such
suspicious ought TO be perceived in the
slender forces at the disposition OF
Germany There are scarcely 800 men
who could be spared from the squadron,
not sufficient number to take La
Gauyra, let alone form an expedition
into the interior.
II is not settled whether the notifi-
cation Of the commencement OF the
blockade will be made public In Berlin
and London simultaneously or take the
form of communication from the two
commanders of the squadrons TO the
Venezuelan authorities. The publica-
ton Will apparently be delayed day or
