CLAIMS $4,000 DAMAGES.
American Charges False Imprisonment
Against Venezuela

Have1straw, N. Y, May 7,-Harry B.
Bulls, of this place has made a formal
claim for $4,000 against the govern
ment of Venezuela for false imprison-
ment and detention at Maracaibo.
Mr.. Bulls was in charge of the cleo
tric light station at Maracaibo in May,
1900. There was an active revolu-
tion on foot and persons associated
with the electric light company had
stored ammunition and explosives in
the station. He says he wished to
turn over the stuff to the government
but he was afraid to have it known
that he had given the information He
accordingly suggested to the president
of the state that the ammunition
should be seized, and that, as blind
he should be arrested and then
promptly released. His plans were
carried out, with the exception of his
release.
He says he communicated with the
United States consul, J. H. Plumach-
er, who was living outside of the city
Mr.. Plumacher pleaded illness, and dis.
inclination to come to town for cou-
pie Of weeks. Mr.. Bulls said he was
bundled off to the penitentiary where
everything was taken from his pock-
cts except tiny silk American flag.
He was then thrust into a badly ven
tilated room and after months in
carceIatiOn was informed that a law
yer had been appointed by the gov
ernment to defend him. This man
called on him and promised to call
again. He never re-appeared. When
the hearings finally occurred Mr.. Bull
is pleaded not guilty, but gave no
testimony and heard none. He was
informed afterward that he had been
convicted AS a result of an appeal
to the minister, this telegram was sent
to the president of Maracaibo by the
president Of the republic:
Having adjusted the political mat
ters of the North American, H. c.
Bulls, proceed to place him at liberty
as conveniently as possible. (Signed)
Opriano Castro
Upon being released Mr.. Bulls said
a native tried to kill him, and when
he complained to the local authorities
he was himself placed under bonds to
keep the peace. All his papers and
money had been stolen in his absence

Atlanta May THE thirtieth an
nual meeting of the National Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections has
commenced in this city
The opening session, upon which
much was believed to depend, began
In the First Baptist church with an
earnestness that has seldom been wit
messed even in this city Of conventions
and those Atlantans who attended, de-
spite the inclement weather, realized
more fully than ever that the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions is an organization of prominent
ladies and gentlemen, who are banded
together in what is probably the most
influential body of its kind in the
world
The delegates to the convention are
persons Of means, most of them of
more than ordinary means, who are
giving their time and thought and en-
ergy to the uplifting of humanity, to
the alleyiating of distress, to giving
the first offenders another chance, to
keeping children out of prisons and
penitentiaries, to caring for the sick
and needy and infrm and aged-in
brief, they are their brothers keepers,
and are trying to do those things
which they advise others to do
Some of the delegates are eX-gover-
nors of their states, other are ex-
members Of The supreme court, some
are in charge of the very institutions
whose work will be discussed during
the days of the convention, all are
men and women of prominence-so-
cially, politically and commercially.
