DIPLOMACY BETTER
THAN LEADEh BULLETS

Caracas, Feb. 1S.-The supreme court
today rendered its decision in the suit
brought by the heirs of Henry Rud-
loff, an American citizen. against the
Venezuelan government for damages
for the annulment of a concession Civ
en- in 1892 to build a market in Caracas.
Judgment was given in favor of Rud-
lofts heirs. The claim for the large
amount Of 100000, to be paid by the
Venezuelan government was admitted.
The United States legation watched the
case very closely. Today's decision is
interesting, inasmuch as the German
and British legations have maintained
that justice for foreigners does not ex-
list in Venezuela.

EXTRA SESSION TALK
Big Fight on in Wyoming Over
the Taxation Of
Mines.
(special to The HeraldAI

cheyenne, Wyo.. Feb 1S.-A split in
the state legislature is threatened and
an extra session probable through the
failure Of the senate to pass the Max
well mine tax bill, passed by the lower
mouse two days ago The constitution
provides that the output of the mines
of the state shall be taxed, but for
twenty years the state has been I'M
able to do so. A powerful lobby sent
by the Union Pacific, Burlington, Colo
RADIO & Southern, Fremont, Elkhorn &,
Missouri Valley and other railroads is
now on the ground, using every effort
to defeat the Maxwell bill. This after
noon the senate recommitted the bill
to the committee, practically killing the
measure. The house, which was work
ing on the general appropriation bill at
the time, promptly adjourned, and
members made the threat that no more
appropriations would be considered un-
til the senate passed the mine tax
measure. The governor is alleged to
have said that he will veto every ap-
preparation bill and call an extra SEES
sion, if necessary. to pass the tax BILL
1t Is fight of the people against the
corporations, with the governor lead
ing the movement
