BARON Won sTERNBERG
VIII Represent Germany at the Ma
tional Capital During Absence =
of Won HolIenben.

Berlin, Jan. 8.-Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, the German consul general
at Calcutta, has been appointed
charge d'affairs at Washington dur
ing the absence of DR.. Won Hollenben
on sick leave, Chancellor Won BueloW
regarding the business at Washington
as SO important at present as to re-
quire a special substitute for the am
bassador. The inference naturally
shows that Baron Won ~Sternberg will
succeed DR.. Won Hollenben as a1nbas-
vent his return. This inference is
confirmed by the fact that Chancellor
Won Buelow months g was under
stood to have the baron in view as
DR.. Won Hollenben's ultimate success

was reported here two months ago,
had expressed approval OF Baron Won

foreign office that he will sail from
New York on Saturday. His health
was so bad during his recent leave OF
absence that his audience with the
emperor was postponed for six weeks.
1t is understood that the ambassa-
doris present leave of absence is un-
limited and that it will certainly ex-
coed six months. DR.. Won Hollenben
has heretofore found Carlsbad the
most favorable place for regaining his
strength and he will probably go there
upon his arrival in Germany.
Baron Herman Speck Won Sternberg
was formerly secretary of the German
embassy at Washington. He was one
of the German commanders at the Sa
moan conference and was conspicuous
in the negotiations following the out
break of trouble in China, when he
was recalled from Washington to Der
lin for a conference with the author
lilies there. The baron's appointment
as consul general at Calcutta was
recognition of his services. On DE
cember S, 1900, he married in London
Miss Langham, the daughter OF
wealthy mineowner of Idaho, and
, niece of Arthur Langham of Louis
Vile, KY.

Caracas tonight concerning President
Castro's answer to the communities

is reliable. 1t can be said upon good
authority that Mr.. Bowen does not
expect to receive the Venezuelan an.

BOY HANGED FOR MURDER.
Testimony Showed He Poisoned
Younger Lads.

Camden, N. j., Jan. 8.-Paul Wood
ward, aged II, was hanged in the
Camden Jail today. The drop fell at
LOS and Woodward was pronounced
dead 10 minutes later. Woodward
was apparently the most u%nconcern-
ed person in the party at the hanging
and showed remarkable nerve.
The crime for which Woodward
paid the death penalty was the MUIR
der October 1, last, of John Coffin,
aged II years, and Price Jennings,
their homes on October / and their
bodies were found in a wood near
Hadden Heights. six miles from here,
on October 4. Previous to the dis
covery of the bodies, Woodward had
gone to the home of young Coffin and
said he could find the boys if a suit

they had died from arsenical poison
ing. The police officials learned that
woodward had bought arsenic a few
days prior to the boys disappearance.
He was convicted of murder in the
first degree. After being sentenced
by Judge Garrison, an appeal was
made to the p%ardoning board on he
ground of insanity, but the board re-
fused to take action.
Counsel for the prosecution claim
ed that Woodward had poisoned the
boys for the purpose of robbery.
When they left home, the boys had
$40, but when the bodies were found
their pockets did lot contain a penny.

of Railway Trainmen recede from

controversy cannot be reached with
out friction. 1t became public today
for the first time that the demand

absolute rule guaranteeing double
pay for handling freight trains of
more than 80 cars, or trains hauled
by more than one engine"
The railway officials uniformly

GUS"
The Great Northern sent a com
m%unication to its committee asking
if a smaller increase ran 10 a,a cent
would be received I1t consideration.
The reply was that no proposition
for less than the full amount could
be considered under the instructions
of the chiefs of the order. This ex-
plains why no progress has been
made towards a settlement. A meet

Would Settle Out Of Court.

Berlin, Jan. 8.-That portion of the
joint reply of the powers to Venezuela
suggesting a settlement without arbi-
tration only goes so far as to offer to
treat for a settlement out of court
after the payment of cash Or tho t.
ing of a sufficient guarantee for
payment of $685., 900 to each power.
This reservation remains as the fixed
and only condition precedent to arbi-
tration or negotiation direct for a
supplementary agreement. The Ger
man government would much prefer
to close up the matter by negotiations
through Minister Bowen, while the
blockade continues, than withdraw
the blockade and adjust the claims
through The Hague arbitration court

ARbITRATI0
TREATY IS UP
RESULT OF PAN-AMERicAN CON-
FERENCE IN MEXICO.
SIMILAR TO THE HAGUE
Treaty Only Applies to the Republics
of the Western Hem
isphere.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
authorized Senator Lodge to report
favorably the general international
arbitration treaty recommended by
the Pan-American conference held at
the City of Mexico las winter. The
treaty is on the lines Of The Hague
treaty, but applies only to the re-
publics of the western hemisphere.
The opinion was quite general that
favorable action upon the agreement
at this time by the United States will
have a good effect upon the settlement
of the differences between Venezuela
and the European creditors of that
state.
By the treaty the contracting par
ties obligate themselves to submit to
the decision of a%rbitrators all contro-
yersies that may exist among them,
and which diplomacy cannot settle,
provided that in the exclusive Judg-
ment of any of the interested nations
the controversies do not affect b ma
| tional honor. The treaty provides
that when both parties to a contro-
yersy can agree to refer the question
in dispute to The Hague tribunal, it
shall be referred, but that otherwise
! it shall be referred to a special court.
In case a special tribunal is created,
it i sto consist of three members.
There also is a provision to resort
to mediation in case OF a conflict
which promises to lead to war, and
in this connection and the right to Of
fer mediation is specifically set forth.
The proyision on this point is as fol
lows:
The right to offer good offices or
mediation belongs to powers who are
strangers to the conflict even during
the course of hostilities. The exercise
of these rights shall never be regard
ed by either of the contending par
ties as an u%nfriendly act.
"InG DdTL Ol CAS A1OuAoIoA
in reconciling the opposing claims and
appeasing the feelings of resentment
which may have arisen between the
states at variance.
sThe functions of the mediator are
at an end when once it is declared
either by one of the parties to the
dispute or by the mediator himself
that the methods of Cancellation pro
posed by him are not accepted"
A commission of inquiry is author
lied in disagreements arising on ques
tions of act.
An interesting feature in connection
with the proposition of the treaty is
that the Venezuelan representative II
conference refused, on the instructor
of his government, to participate II
the formulation Of the document.

Young Corbett Has Some Weight to

San Francisco, March 29--Eddie
Graney OF San Francisco was chosen

was also agreed that if either contest
ant should claim a foul during the con-
test the referee should withhold his de-
cision until two or more reputa BILE

fight now centers on the question Of
whether Corbett can make the required
weight of 127 pounds. McGovern has
practically completed his training and
is pronounced in fine mettie, being just
a shade below weight.
Corbett has been leading a strenuous
existence the past few days. to bring
himself down to weight. One OF the
recent adjuncts 10 his gymnasium is
winter stove TO assist in the promotion
OF perspiration. The club manager and
Corbett's trainers insist that he will
make the mark all right, ~ pounds. at

DEAD STONE CUTTER
TO LIVE IN GRANITE
Wish of Bachelor, Who Left $4,000
Estate for Monument.

Reading, Pa, March 29.-EXecutors
Of the estate of Thomas Smith, the &C.
centric bachelor, who on his deathbed
directed that his c:tire estate of $S,G00
be devoted to the erection of a granite
monument over his grave, representing
him as a stone mason, are at present
seeking for the design left by Smith.
Smith, being a skilled stone cutter,
had sketched the plan after frequent
visits to Reading cemeteries, where he
sought new ideas. He said he left the
drawing in his home, and the executors
are searching Smiths household to find
it and carry out the dead mans wishes.
The odd will was Witre essed by two
nurses who recently attended Smith at
his 1iEal illness. The clause reads: i
direct that Il model or a statue of a
man five feet high shall be erected and
put on top of my monument, and said
statue to stand upon a huge rock, and
the reason 1 want the said. monument
is because l worked al the stone mason
trade all of my life
