Venezuelan Talk TO Continue.


Mr.. Bowen hopes to begin work during the
present week With the diplomatic repre-
sentatives OF the Venezuelan blockading
powers on the protocol for sending to The
Hague tribunal the question of preferential
treatment in the payment Of claims.
Mr.. Bowen heretofore has submitted to
the British ambassador the draft OF the
protocol, a notable feature OF which is that
the car shall name the members Of the
court. 1t is known that the allies intend to
offer some amendments, but their nature
has not been made known, although one OF
them is believed to be regarding the prop
osition relatives 10 the czar, as there is
thought to be some objection on their part
to that monarch naming the members Of the
court. Mr.. Bowen is anxious to have the
work completed as soon as possible and will
urge this on the allies representatives.
According to the terms in the protocol OF
February 13, the first payment Of the 30 per
cent of the customs receipts Of La Guayra
and Puerto Cabello for the month of March
is to be made to the representative OF the
Bank of England at Caracas on April 1.
This will form the nucleus of the fund with
which the claims Of the various nations
that are adjudicated by the mixed commits
sions which are to sit at Caracas are to be
paid.
Presidents Family Will Cruise.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her children will take

backed with SUFFICIENT evidence TO
lead the President to reques, Secrc
,ary Cortelyon to institute a careful
investigation which is now ia pro.
gress. Within the last week. more
over, the Indian Rights Association
of Philadelphia has made public
report of one of It's special agents in
which are shown 10 exist the most
glaring frauds in Indian rerritor,
and which give promise of showing
that the Dawes Commission is rot
ten from top to bottom Nothing
can be learned at the Interior De
partment except that the agent re.
ferred to IS persona non CRATE, that
the Indian Rights Association is ga
nuisance" and that it is presumed
an investigation will have to be
made. AS a matter of fact, Score
tary Hitchcock instituted an
investigation last May and even
went to the scene himself but on his
arrival there he discovered condi
tons which led him to report hat
there was nothing which called for
an investigation" except some mi
nor defects which he had rcmedied.
Fortunately, President Roosevelt
was not altogether satisfied with Mr..
Hitchcock's report and he sent a
personal representative, Mr.. Francis
E. Luepp, to the scene and his re-
port would doubtless make interest
ing reading although it is unlikely
that twill ever reach the public.
It's evident that the pecualtions
nd corruption practiced by govern
ment officials in Indian Territory
nave been on a scale which will
make the little Postofice thievery.
which aggregates but few hundred
thousand dollars, look Insignificant
The whole attitude of the Interior
Department aud Secretary Hitch.
cock however, is that as only the
rights of the Indians are involved
1t is nobody's business but his own
and the Presidents.
