UMPIRES INSULTED
Venezuelan Editors Make Things
Unpleasant for Men Who De.
eide Against Venezuela.
sPAN1ARD WHO TAKES oFFENsE
Mexican Is Also Hauled Over the
Goals Because of His Adj
verse Decisions.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct.
15.-Passengers arriving here from Ca
racas, Venezuela, confirm the reports
of attacks made by the government
newspapers on the umpires of the
mixed tribunals who have given de-
cisions adverse to Venezuela. The pas
sengers add that the conduct of Presi-
dent Castro and the official press shows
that Venezuela does not understand
the respect due to the mixed tribunals
umpires, and say that it was mis-
take to select Caracas as the seat of
the tribunal.
Spanish Minister Is Insulted.
When Minister Bowen's Mexican
protocol was signed the king of SPAIN
as requested, appointed Senior Gaytan
de Avala, the Spanish minister to
Venezuela, as Mexican umpire, and
Venezuela was pleased, but the news
papers of Caracas have recently in
suited him, owing to his having rem
dered verdict in favor of Mexico.
Senior Ayala, who is rich and indie
pendent. could not be suspected OF
partiality, but in spite of this the Cara
cas- press, when he rendered his YER
diet. caricatured him, representing the
minister with bags of silver in his
hands, and saying that THE balance
of justice went to the side of Mexico
in consequence of the weight of mon
ey which Mexico gave him."
Mexican Is Also Attacked.
Ell Naccionilsta, the organ of Gen
eral Fernandez, the Venezuelan min
lister at Washington, which has been
the most bitter in its attacks on for
eigners, on one occasion said: 1.-The
award is the outcome of rancor, due
to the conduct of Venezuela towards
the Spanish consul at La Guayra, or of
bad faith or ignorance" Incidentally
it is stated on good authority that
General Iribaren, the Venezuelan COM
missioner, recognized the validity of
the Mexican claim. which was also
approved by the minister of foreign
affairs. President Castro alone OPP
posed it.
Spaniard Becomes Incensed.
Another newspaper. of Caracas said;
ut is strange that Mexico, of the same
race, language, continent, religion, and
historic, should dare to ask money
from her sister republic, Venezuela"
Finally the Spanish minister became
so incenSed that he decided to leave
Caracas. On Oct. 9 he turned over the
Spanish legation to thesecretary, Senior
J. Gil Delgado, and mas made prepare
lions to embark for Spain Oct. Is.
One of the passengers from Caracas
said that as result of President
Castro's policy trade in Venezuela wac
stagnant, the people having no conA-
dence in his administration.

NORTHCOTT QUITS
Surrenders Position as Ritual
Author and Lecturer With
Woodmen.
CRITICISM FROM MEMBERS
CRITICISM FROM
MEMBERS
Takes Presidency of FraternaI
Bankers Association at
Bigger Salary.

The board of directors of the Mod
ern Woodmen, in session at the head
Office, today accepted the resignation
of w. \. Northcott from the duties
of revising the society's ritual and
delivering lectures in the interest of
the order, for which he was engaged
at the last meeting of the head camp
at indianapolis, at which time he was
also elected past head consul. The
latter position he holds permanently.
For the ritual and lecture work he
was to receive a salary of $4,000 per
year. At the time he was employed
by the head camp he had under con-
sideTation an offer of $4,000 per year
to take the presidency of the Frater-
nal Bankers association of Cleveland,
Ohio.
Mr.. Northcott stated that, despite
the difference in salary, he preferred
to remain with the Woodmen society.
But since the head camp there has
been considerable criticism of the
membership of the employment of Mr..
Northcott, the $4,000 per year he was
to receive being looked upon as a
sort of sinecure.
Criticism Too Strong.
At the July session of the board
Mr.. Northcott presented his resigna-
ton, but it was rejected. Today he
went before the board and insisted on
its acceptance, stating that the offer
from the Fraternal Bankers associa-
ton was still open and that he had
decided to take the position. not feel
ing that it was doing justice to him
self to remain with the Woodmen or
der at smaller salary, especially
when he had to face criticism in the
bargain.

WOMAN WHO sPEcULATED.
Evidence in the Case of Mrs. Lille,
Charged With KiIIino Her Husband.

DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. 5.-The
state closed its case unexpectedly this
afternoon in the trial of Mrs. Lille,
who is having a hearing on the charge
of numbering her husband. The prose-
cutfon introduced it's star witnesses
today, former Sheriff Louis C. Ben and
Edward L. Runyan a broker, being
on the stand. At the conclusion of
their testimony the state rested, one
of it's principal witnesses having been

Tense was given until tomorrow morn
ing to decide whether it will offer any
evidence.
Runyan, with whom Mrs. Lille is al
legged to have placcdr speculative deals
stated that since Nov. 1, 1901, Mrs.
Lille had lost in speculation $1,750. He
stated that she placed an order with
him the day before her husband was
shot. He stated Mrs. Lille asked him
how much margin he would require to
which he replied that he wanted $500,
which amount she agreed to hand him
that evening or the following day, at
the same time requesting that Runyan
say nothing about the transaction to
her husband. On cross examination,
Runyan testified that the woman in
fact had lost less than 500, stating
that her earnings had overbalanced
in many cases the losses.

He PASSED FOR
THE GOVERNOR
Good Looking Stranger Posed
as Beckham Of
Kentucky.

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 6.-After masquer-
aiding for a week as Gov. Beckham, OF
Kentucky, and having a delightful
time, a good-looking, we'll and
highly intelligent young stranger is in
Jail here on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
It was on Dec. 20 that the governor"
arrived and registered at the Royal
Palm hotel. He Immediately began to
order bottles of Kentucky whisky, and
Proprietor Muller was so pleased to
have such a distinguished guest that
he put the cafe at his service.
Before very long the town became
aware of the governors" presence
and he had many callers. All of these
he entertained lavishly and some Of
them entertained him in return. Al
most any day he could have been seen
reclining in an armchair, with his feet
on the mantlepiece and bottle of
Bourbon at his elbow. Everybody ik-
ed him.
A Wire From Roosevelt.
One evening, while SO occupied, a
boy brought him telegram. The
governor opened and read it, then
casually tossed it across the table to
his guests. 1t read:
White House. Washington, Dec. %.
Hon. J. c. w. Beckham, Miami, Fla:
viii be pleased to see YOU Saturday next
George B. Cortelyou, Secretary
Somebody else ordered a drink then.
and the governor became more popular
than ever. Next day, while again the
center of a social gathering. he had
sudden inspiration, called for telegraph
blank and sent off the following:
Peck Jackson, Sheriff, Clinton, KY: I
/ commute the sentence of James Kelly to
life. Imprisonment; Official papers in the
mail. j. w. G. Beckham. Governor.
After sending this he ordered carriages
and took the party to Cocoanut Grove,
a few miles south of here, for little din
ner.
Telegram His Undolng.
In their absence a telegram for the
governor arrived at the hotel, and Pro-
prietor Muller opened it. 1t read:
yours to Peck Jackson undelivered.
Party unknown here"
By this time the hotel man had grown
a trifle perplexed. He did not quite like
like the idea of a governor, even a Ken
lucky governor, devoting himself so as
siduously to the bottle. The telegram
aroused his suspicious, and he sent a
policeman to Cocoanut Grove.
The governor was playing whist in
the parlor of the inn and he was much
wounded at the indignity put upon a
high executive. Nevertheless he submit
ted to arrest and yesterday he waived a
preliminary hearing.
Deputy Sheriff Moran and others have
made efforts to get an interview with him
but he will say nothing, except that a
grave wrong has been done him. In the
meantime the Miami citizens who made
his acquaintance are feeling sorry.
