asking that his name be chan ged to
Folmer. The petitioner says he de-

Would Harness Events to the Car of
Victory in the Rebels Camp.

The text of a ringing proclamation issued
July 5, the Independence day of Venezuela,
by President Castro, has just been received
in Washington. The proclamation was pub
liished on the eve Of the presidents depar-
ture from the yellow House at Caracas
to lead his army in the field and it is
stirring appeal to his countrymen to support
him in his purpose to crush the anti-Castro
force, which had grown so formidable.
Some portions of the document are worthy
of note, particularly those in which the
Venezuelan executive describes in the flow
cry metaphor peculiar to the Latin races
his own personality and intentions.
He says: Anarchy has struck deep it's
claws into the bowels of our country, but
will strangle that anarchy in the coils of
my energy" He declares his purpose to
revolutionize the methods of government in
Venezuela in these words: From this mo-
design all the energies Of my soul, the re-
sources of the government, the humble
prestige of my sword my unconquerabe

Threaten Others

that in addition to killing a Mexican sheen
herder named Sam GalaXee and slaughter
ing several thousand sheep, a band of 80
masked men has surrounded all the sheep
camps and forced the sheep men to aban-
don their flocks. After killing one herd of
1000 sheep, twenty-five other herds
amounting to about 65 900 sheep were
driven into the mountains and :. to shift
for themselves. The sheepmen have been
threatened with instant death IL they 20
after their focks. The sheep are now the

A NIGHT FORCE.
To Rush the Work on the White
House


To rush the work of refinishing the in
terror of the White House a night force of
carpenters will be put to work in the his
toric building tonight For the first time
in the history of the old building workmen
will drive nails and manipulate saws and
other tools by electric light. The night
force will be put TO work in the ancient
attic. Up to the time President Roosevelt
came in the attic was used for storage pur-
poses only, being large, roomy and well
adapted to that purpose. The crowding of
the White House on the arrival of the
Roosevelt family necessitated the placing
of quarters for some of the servants in the
attic. The plans for the remodeling of the
building call for the making of four bed
rooms in the attic, presuma bly, for the use
of servants There have never been any
windows in the attic, and the bed rooms are
to be made light and airy by the putting IN
of number of dormer windows. The roof
will not be raised except around the dor
mer windows. The night force will be
small at first, but will be gradually in
creased the necessity is apparent.
The beautiful bed of roses that for years
adorned the east side of the White House
grounds has been removed and the earth
is being eXcavated there to permit the
building of driveways from Executive ave-
nue. between the White House and Treas
ury Department. There will be two en-
frances to the driveway and they will cut
through the embankments running up from
the sidewalks of Executive avenue.

They Have Been Approved and Bids
Will Be Asked For

The plans for the battle ships Connecti-

retary of the Navy. The plans of the two
ships are identical. The former will be
built at the government yard al New York.
The Louisiana will be built by private con-
tract The circular calling for bids for
their construction will be issued in few

upon identical plans the relative cost Of
