pected
The grand jury convcncs in the City
Hall on Monday. and its principal bust
ness will be to consider the circumstan'
ces surrounding this murder.
Il will consider the case in its every
phase between now and Monday Dis
trict Attorney Coatsworth said, r"and
when Monday arrives | will be prepared
to present the case in the fullest possible
form"
When the witnesses are called before
this somewhat august body two women
will, beyond doubt, be the principals.
They are:
Alice Hull Burdick, widow of the
murdered man.
Mrs. Maria Hull, the mother of Bur
dicks widow.
The question goes further: What will
the women tell, if they tell anything?
They will likely be given warmer ses-
sion than they had on the witnesses stand
in the police court, and there will be no
attorneys to guard them against pertin-

PAYMENT FOR BLOCKADE
Allies Ask This Of Venezuela in an
Amendment.
BOWEN TURNS PROPOSITION DOWN.
The Published Papers Show Tha; the Powers
Have Accepted About Nlne.Tenihs Of the
Protocol and That the Above Mentioned
Amendment Is Now the only Substantial
Point Of Disagreement

Washington. d. c. (Spccial-State
Department officials say they think the
allied powers have again blundered or
shown bad faith in the Venezuelan al
fairs by their amendments proposed to
the protocol sending the question OF
preferential treatment to The Hague
convention.
In their demand that the following
amendment be made to the protocol
submitted by Minister Herbert w.
Bowen the allies have. in the opinion
OF Mr. Bowen, made an attempt to go
back on the agreements reached in the
protocols signed February i3 last:
If preferential or separate treatment
is not given to Great Britain, Germany
and Italy, the tribunal may consider
whether any ard what compensation
should be made by Venezuela out OF
the 80 per cent OF the customs rcve-
nues set aside to those powers for the
expense which they haze incurred in
connection with the blockade
In this contention the allies renew
their demand for payment larger than
that to be accorded other powers or
for preferential treatment OF another
kind. Under no conditions will Min
ister Bowen agree to the amendment
and he has so informed the representa-
tives OF the allies. The other changes
made are not considered essential, and
with but one or two exceptions they
have been agreed to by Mr.. Bowen.
The representatives OF the allies and
Mr.. Bowen met at the British Embas-
sy. A letter from Mr.. Bowen to Sir
Michael Herbert. in which he refuses
to accept the amendment given above,
was read with much interest. Minister
Bowen was informed his attitude as
thus expressed would be cabled by each
to his Government and that by We'd
nesday they would be ready to meet
again
It is believed the decision of The
Hague will be against the allies. and they
appreciate this fact For this reason
they have suggested the amendment Civ
ing them payment for the cost OF their
two months blockade. which would
amount to about 100000. 1t is under
stood that The Hague protocol drawn
ny Mr.. Bowen was referred by the Lon
don Foreign Office to the Law Lords of
Great Britain and that they suggested to
Germany and Italy the insertion of the
Objectionable amendment Again, it is
argued by Mr.. Bowen, England has been
the cause OF the allies taking an unfair
stand and has attempted practically to
rcpudiate her agreement as to the pay
ment OF the debt as expressed in her
protocol signed February last.
