CASTRO STILL
STANDS FIRM
Says Settlement Depends
More on Allied Powers
Than on Venezuela
NOTHING DEFINITE GIVEN OUT TODAY
They Propose That Control OF Gus
tom Houses Be Given As Guarantee
for the Loan--caslro's Acceptance
Sent to Allies


Sent to Allies
Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. o. Nothing
definite is given out here ahou, The
progress OF the negotiations for arbi-
tration. The public expects that there
will be some delay in reachingana agree
ment.
President Castro said today: If a
settlement is not reached. it will not
be because a settlement forms no part
of the plan of the allies; IN this case,
the prclongation of the present situa-
ton would be disastrous for all con-
cerned. The solution of the present
difficulty depends more on the allied
powers than on Venezuela.
Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. "A New
York syndicate, headed by Severe
Mallet-Prevost, OF that city, is said to
have offered to advance money to the
Venezuelan government to meet press
ing obligations. including the legiti-
mate claims OF foreign governments.
The syndicate proposes that control
of the custom houses shall be given to
it as the guarantee for the loan.
Speyer Brothers. of New York,
through their New York branch, also
offer to finance this country, it is said,
promising to furnish all the funds that
will be needed to settle the foreign
claims and convert the Venezuelan
debt Active correspondence on the
subject is now being exchanged be-
tween President Castro's government
and the finaneiers.
The arbitration propositions of the
foreign powers and the counter-propo-
sitions Of Venezuela, exchanged
through Minister Bowen, are said by
a high Venezuelan authority to be cas-
lily reconcilable.
A cable dispatch from Rome says
that the blockade of the Venezuelan
coast by the allies will continue
throughout the entire session Of The
Hague tribunal sitting to adjudicate
the claims of foreigners.
Intense excitement was caused here
by the news. There is only flour
enough to last 40 days and coal to last
three months. Meat and other foods
are abundant The only persons who
are trying to raise prices are the spec
ulators.

The Washington End

The charge is made in Delaware that
members of the Administration have
been assisting Addicks The Presi-
ents announcement that ne would not
recognize the Addicks Faction is ac-
cepted in absolute good faith by the
lanti-Addicks men. but the assertion is
made that Postmaster-Ge General Payne
and other men in Washington. who are
Hooked upon as practical politicians, in
cluding some members of the Senate
are using their efforts In Addicks' be-
half
With a view to disclosing the Presi-
dents aversion to such methods as Adj
dicks has adopted, a strong effOrt is
being made to prevent the confirmation
| by the Senate of the nomination OF
Byrne to be United States District At
torney. It IS believed the President
can be persuaded to withdrawn Byunes
nomination when put in possession OF
all information regarding Addicks
methods and Byrne's connection with
him. The matter is in charge of promi-
nent lawyers Of the State. who have al
ready made charges against Byrne
with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
which they believe will prevent a fa-
vo5able report upon his nomination.
When that has been accomplished it is
believed the President viii withdraw
Nyrue name. ii he does not take the
Initiative in the matter
III the present state of feeling in Del
aware men are regarded as being either
for or against Addicks. There is no
middle ground, and the attitude of the
Administration is causing no little anx-
liety. 1t is mot conceivable to the mind
sof 8 Delaware man that even Mr.
Roosevelt cam occupy an entirely neu-
trail position and if he does not endorse

Political Situation

election the voters assistant became a
prominent figure. Addicl1s has wasted
lot of money placing it in the hands
OF men posing as leaders and had
grown weary. He knew the money was
not reaching the voters and was not
producing results. In many of the dis
'tricts he did not have a man he could
trust to handle his cash. Then he
adopted new and ingenluus check
system, which has worked beautifully
Democrats Threaten
The Democrats are using threats TO

who contemplated voting for Addicks
had better make arrangements for the
distribution of the money he received.
inasmuch as he would not live to enjoy
it. Men OF great prominence in Dela-
ware who do not desire their names
mentioned for obvious reasons declared
that they would advocate the killing
of any Democrat who yields to the
temptations held out by Addicks. The
Regular Republicans do not go so far.

Of their men will withstand temptation

feel that ? crisis has been reached and
that everything possible mast be done
to prevent Addicks' triumph.
Acting on Defensive
The majority of the people of Dela-
ware are acting upon the defensive.
and this is the striking phase of the
situation. The Addicks men are re-
naming quiet, waiting for Addicl1s
money to produce its effect. They real
ize that no persuasion or argument can
be used to help their cause along. Bri-
berry and bribery alone will do it, and
the brilbes offered are big.
The other Addicks leader is J. Frank
Alice. Mr.. Alice is not a Chinaman,
as ignorant persons might suppose
from his name, but is a jeweler in Do
YER and very prosperous one. 1t is
declared in Dover to be wonderful how
the jewelry business has been looking
up since Mr. Addicks arrived in the
State, for while Mr.. Alice is now said
to be worth more than S1OO. 900. ii is

LOUBETS VISIT WILL
AFFRONT THE POPE
First Visit to Rome Of Ruler Of Catho-
lie Country in Many Years.

ROME, June THE official an
nouncement of King Victor Emmanu-
els visit to Paris and President Lou
bets return visit, although foreseen.
has produced considerable impression
at the Vatican and President Loubet
will be the first ruler Of a Catholic
country to visit Rome officially since
the fall of the temporal power. By
the exercise of all kinds Of pressure
the holy see has prevented Catholic
rulers from visiting the quirinal.
President Loubet will be the first to
break this rule, and the question OF
how the Vatican will treat him, espA-
cially in view,of the present situation
in France regarding the religious or
ders, is keenly discussed. The visit
of the King of-Italy to Paris Is consid-
cred as great success for the French
ambassador at Rome, to whose dipIo-
matte ability it is principally due.

OZONE IN WATER
KILLS THE GERMS
Chemist Makes Important
Demonstration - Prop
critics of Polonium.

BERLIN, June 7.-At today's session
of the chemical congress Prof. w.
MarkWald, of Berlin, showed to the
electro chemical and physical section
a smudge of dark powder on piece Of
paper which was the first time that
any of those eminent scientists hao
seen the metal polonium, discovered
by Prof. and Madame Currie, of Paris.
The latter doubted whether polonium
was a primary element, or related to
bismuth, but Prof.a Markwald demon
strated that it was. indeed a primary
element. He exhibited a bit of metal
weighing 15-100 "a grain, which was
produced from two tons of uranium at
a cost of SIS. 1t is mere sparsely dis
tributed in uranium than Xenon, the
most rarified gas, is in the atmosphere.
Prof MarkWald proceeded to give a
marvellous exhibition of the powers OF
his speck of polonium. 1t intercepted
a strong current Of electricity passing
through the air from the generator to
the receiver, the air ceasing to be a
conductor for the flashes. The room
was then darkened and pieces of bar
ium, platinum and zinczlende placed
near the polonium, glowed with
bright greenish light. The assem-
blage of chemists were thrilled with
astonishment. 1t appeared to be mir
acle.
In the section Of organic prepara-
tions, Prof. Proskauor, of Berlin, read
paper on the sterilization of drinking
water with ozone and on ozone watere
works, the German electricians having
succeeded in producing at small cost
concentrated solution of ozone. The
speaker with Prof. -AOhlmueller and
Prof. Prall, of the imperial health Of
hce, made exhaustive experiments with
the deadliest disease germs, like. ty-
phus, cholera eand dysentery. Such
water was pumped through the So
called ozonizing tower, and then rigidly
analyzed. All the germs were found to
be killed, whereas the Ordinary method
of sand filters left the germs living
Moreover, the water was greatly i'm
proved in quality through the increase
of oxygen from the ozone.
Prof. Proskauor said the ozonizine
plant was cheaper than the sand filter
ing system, usually used in city water
works. hence the time had come for
the general introduction of ozont
plants. The town of Weisbaden, added
the professor, already has one Of these
plants, which sterilizes $50 cubic feet
of water hourly

TWO ARE LEFT IN
VANISHED CITY
Former Mining King and
Daughter Sole Residents
of Montanayiile.

Special to The Globe.
HELENA, Mont, June Z. - Forty
miles from this city is a town-brick
houses, handsome store buildings and
all, with several of the streets paved
that has but two residents.
Montanaville was the name of the
city, and at one time it was the city
Of Montana. How it's greatness has
vanished.
One of the residents of this deserted
city is an aged man, John Stevens.
With him dwells his daughter, Marie.
thirty-seven years of age, who has
given her life's best endeavors for
her father. These two have forgotten
the world, and are by the world for
got Once the father was a mining
KING, whose simple word was law in
the camp. Today he is but an atom,
with possibly fewer than ten persons
in the universe knowing or caring of
his existence. Marie Stevens, once a
handsome girl, is worn and gray, and
her face is tanned the color of leath-
er. Her muscles are like those of a
man, for during the last TWENTY-FIVE
years she has done a mans work. as
we'll as care for her father, who needs
constant attention
In the early days Of Montana Mon
tanav1lle was the headquarters for the
entire territory. Here were the great
mines, the big stores, the banks and
the residences of the gold and the sill
yer kings. John Stevens was the
founder of the city and the owner of
the bulk Of the residence and the busi-
ness property. When Helena, Butte
and other town began to forge to the
front there came decline in the pros
per1ty of Montanaville. Mine after
mine was shut down; workmen anE
capitalists began to depart, and in a
few years the last vestige Of a real
city had fed.
Stevens mind weakened under the
blow; his wife died, leaving him with
young daughter and a vast amount
OF money. Since then the man has
steadfastly refused to leave the ghost
ly city. He fondly imagines it is still
busy place with a great business be-
Ing carried on. Stevens and his
daughter live in nicely furnished
house at the upper end of what was
once the main business street of the
place. Supplies are procured by the
woman from Helena every month. That
is the only time she is ever seen by
the outside world.

ADMITS KILLING
OF MCLAUGHLIN
Murderer Surrenders in Des-
perately Wounded
Condition.
Special to The Globe.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 7.-Samuel
Berg Iaborer who confessed that he
killed Marshall M. ]. Mclaughlin at
Mountain Iron, surrendered to the au-
thorities of that village at 5 O'clock
this morning. He is desperately
wounded. He is now confined in
hospital in this city under guard. II
Is thought that he will die.
Berg says his companions name was
Frank Emerson, and that they did
railroad construction work. Marshal
McLauglin was arresting the men for
the alleged hold-up of an Italian who
claimed he had been robbed of 500.
Berg says the marshal was searching
him when Emerson began to run. The
marshal ordered Emerson to halt. but
he refused, and the officer began shoot
Ing. Berg became alarmed that the
officer would shoot him, and also fired
at Mclaughlin, hitting him in the
breast. The latter then fired one shot
at Berg, the bullet passing through
the left lung. Berg fired at the officer
again, hitting him in the head and
killing him instantly. The authorities
have questioned the Italian as to the
alleged hold-up, and believe that he
was not held up at all. He exonerated
Berg, saying he was not concerned I'm
the hold-up. 1t appears that the whole
bloody tragedy was occasioned by
probable falsehood by the Italian.

TEXTILE WORKERS
STRIKE FOR LIFE
Issue Statement Declaring
Conditions Under Which
They Work Are Deadly.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June THE
working committee of the Central Tex
tile union, composed of one delegate
from each union on strike, met at at
strike headquarters today and consid-
cred the situation. After a five-hours
session the committee in conjunction
with the executive board of the textile
workers issued a long statement to the
pubic, giving reasons for the strike of
over $4,000 men, women and children
The statement says that the strike
was ordered for sanitary reasons, that
1t was necessary because the health Of
the men, women and children was at
stake.
The statement called attention to
the fact that children were compelled
to work ten and quarters hours
day in the mills from Monday to
Friday and six and one-quarter hours
on Saturdays. The statement also de-
clares that the textile industry, as
shown by statistics produced before
the anthracite coal strike commission,
is deadlier than the mining industry.
that the workers in the mills, where
there always is dust, are subject to
pulmonary diseases.
The statement also asks for the sup
port Of the public and reiterates the
Willingness of the workers to meet
their employers for a conference.
There were no developments in the
strike today. 1t was an extremely
quiet day in all the textile centers of
the city.
Mayor Weaver tomorrow will send
a communication to the Joint COM
mittee of textile manufacturers. ask
ing them to have their representatives
meet him to-arrange a conference be-
tween the employers and employees.
The mayor stated today that he real
ized that he had no power to bring
about a conference, but would endeav-
or to bring the strike to an early end.

CHICAGO WATERS
TALK ARBITRATION
Prospect That Strike Will Be Raised
Temporarily Today.

CHICAGO, June Z. Temporary
peace may come out Of the restaurant
war tomorrow. A committee of res
taurant keepers met with representa-
tives of the employees unions tonight
and the latter have agreed to give an
answer tomorrow morning to a propo-
sition offered by the proprietors.
After the meeting 1t was said that
there was strong possibility that the
strikes will be called off in the half
dozen large restaurants in the down
town district which have been tied up
for several days pending a settlement
of the tlpuble by arbitration. Much
of the misunderstanding that exists
between the two opposing bodies seems
to have disappeared, and unless some
unlocked for obstacle arises an amI-
cable settlement will undoubtedly be
reached tomorrow.

MARSEILLES, June IA terrible
shipping disaster occurred a little dis
tance from this port at noon today,
when two passenger steamers, the IN
sulaire and the Liban, both belonging
to the Fraissenet Steamship company
of Marseilles, came into collision. The
L1ban sank and over 100 of the passen-
gers and crew perished.
The steamer Libon left Marseilles
this morning on her regular passenger
trip to Bastia, Corsica, and was run
down and sunk by the Insulaire off
the Marie islands. The collision was
witnessed from the pilot boat BE
champ, which Immediately repaired to
the spot to render assistance. The
force Of the collision had cut a great
hole in the Liban's side and she al
ready was taking water rapidly. Her
captain saw the only chance was I'd
run the steamer aground and the Liban
was headed full speed for the shore; but
within seventeen minutes of the COLI
lision and while still in deep water the
fore part of the steamer plunged be-
neath the waves and a few minutes
later had entirely disappeared.
At the Work of Rescue.
In the meantime the BIechamp, the
steamer Balkan and other vessels had
drawn near the sinking ship and were
making desperate efforts to rescue
those on board. The Blechamp picked
up forty persons, many Of whom were
on the point of exhaustion. The Bal
kan rescued thirty seven passengers.
and up to the present it is known that
IN addition to the passengers seven
teen Of the crew were also rescued.
Officers of the steamer Balkan de-
scribe the scene just before the I.iban
disappeared as a terrible one. AS the
vessel was sinking she was inclined
to such an angle that her masts struck
the water, causing an eddy which made
the work Of rescue most difficult,
mass of human beings were clinging
TO the laundering vessel and uttered
despa1ring cries as she went down. At
the same time the boilers exploded
