BRIrA1N's CLAIM SUMMARIZED
Two Kinds of Maps by the Same Man
Talk of Arbitrators.

Great Britain through her charge
d'affaires at Caracas and later through
her minister. advanced the contention
that when she conquered the island of
Trinidad in 1897 sovereignty over Pa
tos also was obtained and so recOg-
nized by the Madrid government; that
Patos has remained in the peaceful
possession of Great Britain for more
than a century, during seventy years
of which time Venezuela advanced no
counter claim. and that the official map
of Codazzi colors the island of Patos
the same as Trinidad, indicating that
both belong to the same country.
To this last contention Venezuela re-
piled by stating that the map of COdaZi
ri was so old as to make it impOS-
sible to distinguish the various col
ors and produced other maps by the
same author, which places Patos as
belonging to Venezuela. Being unable
to agree ON even the miner points of
the controversy the British minister.
near the close of last year, informed
the Venezuelan foreign Office that he
would make no further representations
in the matter, as there was nothing to
be gained in continuing the corre-
spondence.
1t is understood that President Cas-
tro will ask that the question be set
tied by arbitration, a proposition to
which the British government will
hardly accede, in view of it's conten-
ton that the ownership of Patos is
so clearly British as not to furnish a
suitable subject for arbitration.

Man Who Held Up Two Places at MiIwau-

milwaukee,. Dec S.-One of the most
peculiar cases with which the Milwau-
kee police have had to deal took place
Saturday night when an unknown man
held up Il store and saloon, and after
ward jumped into the lake at the foot
of Wisconsin street.
Tire police are at Il loss to know
whether he committed suicide through
fear of detection. or whether he unin-
tentiOnally ran off the breakwater in
his attempt to get away. The hold
ups of the store and the saloon are the
boldest which have occurred in Mil
waukee for several years. The body of
the robher was afterward recovered
and is now ut the mOrgue.

COOPERATION a FAILURE
Laundry .on That System Started the
Sequel of n Strike Goes to
Smash,

Saginaw. Mich, Dec. S.-The only
cooperative laundry in the United
States, established here about six
months ago, closed Saturday ana to-
day the property was auctioned off to
the highest bidder. The laundry was
started as the result of the laundry
workers strike and the necessary
funds were raised with considerably
difficulty and after much canVasSSing
among labor organizations not only in
Saginaw. but all over the state. De
troit alone contributing $1,000. All the
money represented by the investment
was not raised and mortgages amount
ing to $1,000 We're placed on the plant.
The affairs of the concern were man
aged by board of elevenappointed by
the Central Labor union. For weeks
the air has been filed with stories of
disagreements. which went so far in
one case as Il physical encounter be-
tween one of the manage and an en-
ploye. Suits for wages began to trou-
bic the dreams of the responsible par
ties and part of the receipts for Labor
day were garnsheeh. Many of the
girls who went on! strike and were
promised work at the cooperative
laundry have never deceived a position
and those who did iwere poorly paid
on account of the fi1ancial troubles.

FORTY YEARS HE WAS PROMINENT
EpItome of His Career-Retirement in
1899 to Resume the Law.

Epitome of His Career-Retirement in
1899 to Resume the Law.
Thomas b. Reed, the Maine states
man who was given the title of ''czar"
when he was speaker of the national
house of representatives, was born Oct
IS. 1889, in Portland, Me. For almost
forty years he was prominent in the
affairs of his state or the nation. He
began public life as paymaSter in
phe navy during the civil war. Later he
served his state in the legislature and
as attorney general. When he was
slected to congress in 1876 he began
tie first of twelve terms in that body.
He retired from public life in 1899 and
resumed the practice of law in New
York city.
Following is an epitOme of his ca
reer: Graduated from Bowden college,
Maine, 1860; was law student, 1851
1853: acting assistant paymaster. Unit
ed States navy, 1864 1865; admitted to
the bar. 1865: began the practice of law
at Portland. 1860: member of the state
legislature. iStiS-1SG9; member of the
state senate. 1879: attorney general of
MaiRe.- 1ST0-iS7I-1ST2; city solicitor of
Portland. 1ST4-1S15-1SI6-1STT elected
to congress. 1876. and reelected every
two years thereafter until and includ-
ing 1898; first elected speaker of the
house in 1889, and reelected in 1898
and 1897. lie resigned from congress
in 1899. and was a prominent candi-
date for president of the United States
in 1896.
1t was as speaker of the Fifty-first
congress, which body assembled Dec.
>, 1889. that Reed made his greatest
reputation and performed his most i'm
portant work During all the years
that he had Been in congress he had
observed the growing disposition of the
minority TO defeat those constitutional
provisions by which the majority is to
rule i'm the land. He found that habit
had grown up in congress by which
members of The minority party by sit
ting silent in their seats and refusing
to vote could block legislation. He
did not agree with such Il system and
set himself about to change it.
His study of this question led him
tobclievethat on Constitutional grounds
and broad parliamentary law it was
not only the right but the duty of the
speaker to determine whether there
was or there was not really quorum
present in considering a measure, even
though the call of the roll failed to
show a quOrum answering to the de-
mand for votes upon the measure in
question.

Presents a Concrete Example.

My reason for doing so is to show
yOu 10y Il single concrete example that
knowledge gained by animal expert
mentation is an immense boon to hu-
manity and that, therefore such cN
pcrimcnts should he heartily eucCIIr-
aged. The facts of Mr.. Aikcn'S cas-"
are as follows: When first saw hin.
three days after the accident. found
that he had been unconscious for Il
half hour after the accident. and ever
since then had complained bitterly of
headache, which he located always in
the forehead. Soon after the accident
he began To develop commissions. In
six hours AMI half after ! saw him
he had twenty-four of these attacks,
all limited TO the right arm.

SYMPTOM WOULD HAVE MIsLED
All Pointed to the Forehead as the Place
for Operation.

There was no fracture of the skull.
The only physical evidence of any in
jury was very slight bruise at the
outer end Of the left eyebrow. Had 1
seen this case before 1855 l would have
been unable TO explain why the spasmS
We're chiefly manifested in the right
arm. l would have been justified in
inferring that probably the front part
of his brain WAS injured ut the site of
the bruiSe. Had 1 opened his skull
at that point | would have found per-
fectly normal brain and have missed
the clot. The young man. therefore
would have died whether his skull had
been Opend or not.
In 1902 observe the difference. AS
Il result of knowledge derived from eX-
perimentS upon animals, which have
located precisely the center for motion
of the right arm. L reached the cOnclu-
sion that there had been rupture of Il
blood vessel within the headand that the
situation of the cIOt should correspond
to the arm center Its position was
fixed absolutely as n result of expert
ments upon animals
"AS soon as the skull was opened
at this point the clot was found. its
thickest point being exactly over the
arm center. and the blood was re
moved with the result that the pa
tients life was saved. This is only one
of hundreds of cases in which n sim
liar exact lOcalization has been made
by many surgeons both in Europe and
America.
