Banquet to Judge Harlan.
Washington, Dec. 10.-The dinner by
the bar of the supreme court of the
United States at the new Willard hotel
during the evening to Mr.. Justice John
Marshall Harlan, in recognition of the
completion of twenty-five years of
service on the bench of the supreme
court was brilliant function. The
banquet hall was handsomely illum-
mated and the tables deliberately dec
Grated with palms. American beauty
roses and laurel.
In the absence of Attorney General
Knox, Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh presided.
Justice Harlan was in his happiest
mood, and gave every evidence of his
appreciation of the honor bestowed
on him.
Interest in the banquet outside of
Justice Harlan centered in President
Roosevelt. His arrival shortly after
$3.50 o'clock was the signal for a great
Outburst of applause. The president
warmly congratulated Justice Harlan,
grasping him by both hands before
taking his seat. Those at the banquet
included members of the cabinet, sew
eral senators and representatives,
members Of the supreme court of the
United States, of the court of claims,
and of the local courts, and quite a
number of eminent lawyers from out

Venezuelan Trouble.

Venezuelan Trouble.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-The arrests
OF German and British subjects in Car
acas are believed here to be in the
nature of retaliation on the part of
President Castro for the ultimatum
which has been sent to Venezuela for
settlement of the long-standing
claims of Germany and England
against her. Incidentally, such &C.
ton by Venezuela will, it is believed,
involve this government, as the Ger
man and British representatives in
Venezuela, before leaving Caracas, re-
quested United States Minister Bowen
to take charge of the interests of
their countries in Venezuela It was
said at the state department during
the day that this request would be
granted and the probability is that
Mr.. Bowen already has taken steps
toward that end. Considerable sur
prise is expressed here over the ar
rests, as the result will be to add to
the serious complications already ex-
listing. Owing to the late hour at
which the Caracas bulletin was re-
ceived it was impossible to ascertain
whether any information had been re-
celved by the state department from
Mr.. Bowen regarding the arrests. Sc
nor Pulido, the Venezuelan charge d.
affairs, was also inaccessible

Washington, Dec. 10.-After debat-
Ing the London dock charge bill for al
most four hours the house chopped it's
head off by striking out the enacting

all day the members were flooded with

withdrawal of the support of the lum-
Der and meat packing interests, which
originally had Joined with the flour
milling interests in pressing the meas

Judge Taft Mentioned to Succeed JUS

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The pros
pective retirement of Justice Shiras
from the supreme court, which was an.
nounced by his son some time ago
would take place at no very distant
date, it is believed here may result in
the promotion to the supreme bench
of William H. Taft, the chairman of
the Philippine commission.
Governor Taft's elevation to that
court would be the fulfllment of the
general understanding that he would
be appointed to that court at the time
he resigned from the federal court
bench in Ohio and took up his present
duties at the request of President Nc
Kinley. It also would be in the nature
of a reward for his long and arduous
work at the head of the Philippine

German and British subjects in Cara

There are comparatively few white
British subjects in Caracas, probably
less than fifty. The Caracas-LaGuai-

its general manager and other high
officials are Englishmen. There are
some English engineers on the line.
Other Englishmen in Caracas are en-

number of these latter in Caracas.
The islanders are negroes with few
exceptions.
The Germans in Caracas are much
more numerous. They are found at
the head of important commercial
houses and banking institutions. The
German custom of bringing out clerks
from the fatherland accounts for the
presence of many young Germans in
the Venezuelan capital. The railroad
from Caracas to Valencia is German
concern. It is probably Offered by

German merchants and German clerks

Not So Bad As Reported

Not long ago the Daily Light con
tanned a short paragraph which
stated that a citizen of Waxahachie
had been to Hillsboro and reported
that he saw at least 100 vacant resi-
dences there; that he bad sold for
1919 a piece of property that would
readily have sold in WaXahachie for
1920. The Hillsboro Mirror repro
duced the Lights article with the
following comment:
THE above item viii be news to
the citizens Of HiAsboTo, and espe-
cially so to those who are trying to
rent residences and can not get
them. There is a general cry
amongst those who rent that rental
rates are higher than they ought to
be. Bu siness houses on the square
REM from $50 to H12J a month. The
Mirror is anxious to know who that
prominent citizen of Waxahachie is,
as a prominent business man of
Waxahaehie recently told a citizen
of Hillsboro that Waxahachie had
more fine residences, and
better business houses and more
money than Hillsboro. but that
there wasn't as much business done
there as in Hillsboro. OF course,
the merchant said, Il am not saying
anything about that publicly, but ii
