PROTOCOL READY
FOR SIGNATURES
Venezuelan ImbrOglio Near
inc Point of Settlement.
PAPERS ARE ALL III ENGLISH
Only Few Verbal Changes in Document
Drafted by Mr.. Bowen-Minister
Ready to Return to Caracas.

Protocols submitting to The Hague the
question Of preferential treatment for
the three powers which instituted the
blockade of Venezuelan ports. TO COM
pei the payment OF claims against the
South American republic. will be signed
at O'Clock tonight. The British am
bassador, Sir Michael Herbert. and the
German envoy to the United States.
Baron Won Sternburg, this forenoon
called on Minister Herbert W. Bowen,
the Venezuelan plenipotentiary and an
bounced that the representatives OF the
three blockading powers are ready to
sign AS it was necessary for the proto-
coils to be engrossed, the hour of
p. NJ was decided upon as the time of
afhxirg signatures
All Copies in English.
Separate protocols will be signed for
each of the governments. though they
Will all be in the English language. and
the texts will be identical. Mr. Bowen
has contended from the first the protocols
should be in one language to insure
identical terms for ali. While he did not
suggest the English language be adopted,
the selection affords him great satisfac-
ton
1t is said not more than twenty words
have been changed in the protocol as
originally drafted by Mr.. Bowen. The
question of payment of the cost Of the
blockade. which the British ambassador
desired TO have inserted in the matters
TO go to The Hague. was not insisted
upon by the powers. II was this question
which delayed signing for many days.
Last Barrier Removed.
The protocols were to have been sign
ed yesterday, but the representatives OF
the powers were not sure whether they
were authorized 10 sign jointly. or indi-
vidual protocols should be drafted
When it was suggested this morning
that protocols be drawn for each OF the
powers. Italy. Germany. and Great
Britain, bat all in the English language.
Mr. Bowen readily agreed. and this, it is
believed has removed the last barrier
to the speedy adjustment of the entire
Venezuelan question.
Mr.. Bowen visited the State Depart
ment at noon and told Secretary Hay
he hoped to complete his negotiations
with the non -blockading powers within
few days. and he would then go 10
New York. He informed the State De-
partmept also he would be ready %
sail for Caracas a week from Saturday.
and upon his arrival would resume his
duties as the United States minister
10 Venezuela.
After spending a few weeks in Caracas.
he will return to the United States
on leave Of absence for sixty days, af-
ter which he will proceed to The Hague
again as the representative of Venezuela
10 assist in the presentation of the
cases there.

RAILROAD OFFICES
REMOVED TO ELK|NS
Headquarters i'll Mountains
for the Summer.
FOLLOW PRESIDENT DAVIS
Washington Will Lose Clerks of
Charleston, Clendennin and Sut-
ton Line Until Fall.

Few railroads exist in the country
whose general offices are moved about
the country to satisfy the will of the
president of the road.
This. however, is true of the Charles
ton. Clendennin and Sutton Railroad. of
which ex-senator Henry G. Davis OF
West Virginia is the president. 1t has
been his custom for years to spend the
summer at his country home in EIkirs,
w Va.
General Offices Established Here.
A few months ago the general Offices
of the railroad were established in
Washington at 1917 II Street. The road
extends from Charleston, w. Va. to Sut-
ton. w Va. and an extension OF one
hundred and twenty-five miles is being
constructed from Otter, w. Va, to Bel
ington w. Va.
Contracts aggregating several millions
of dollars have been awarded for this
work of construction. and the absence
of President Davis from his office would
naturally delay matters. That this
should not be the case. President Davis
ordered the Offices in Washington closed
and removed to Elkins for the summer
months.
To Continue Improvement.
Vice President Arthur Lee is now in
charge of the general offices. but stated
this morning that they will be closed
next week and the entire clerical force
removed to Elkins, where temporary Of
fees have been obtained.
It is not the purpose of the road man
agement TO retain headquarters there
longer. than October 1. At that time,
they will be moved back to Washing
ton and larger clerical force employed.
While the work of construction is go
ing on. President Davis. Vice President
Arthur Lee. and General Manager Hand
ley will have headquarters in Elkins,
and the working force will make their
homes there until the Offices are moved
back TO Washington.

TINE INOPPORIUNE FOR
NEW CHURCH NAME
DR.. McKim Makes Report to
Diocesan Convention.
MINORITY SUBMITS REPORT
Substitute Offered by Melville Church
Likely to Be Adopted-Opposed
to Taking Vote.

Today's session of the Episcopal con
vention now in progress at St. Paul's
Church was devoted almost exclusively
tc the consideration of change of title
for the church. Bishop SatterIee, in mis-
address yesterday, declared he was not in
favor of change OF name at the present
time in view of the responsibilities now
resting on the church and the hope of
closer union between the churches of
today. This opinion is shared almost
unanimously by members of the Wash
ington diocese, as shown by the major
ity report. signed by Randolph H. Nc
Kim, Thomas j. Packard. l. Allison
Wilmer. and Fl. E. Pellew, the commit
tee appointed TO report.
In its report, read today by DR.. Nc
Kim, the committee declares it does not
find sufficient reasons for so radical
proposition. The history of the Church
was studiously consulted and the fact
proved that the name Protestant Epis-
copal" was in use as early as the year
1866. After reading the report. DR.. Nc
Kim made an earnest and eloquent az
dress in support of the resolution OF
fered, that the time had come when a
change of name would prove feasible.
A Minority Report
Dr. McKim was followed by the Rev.
Alfred Harding, who submitted the
minority report signed by the Rev. J.
w. Clark and John II. Chew.
Melville Church, delegate from ST.
Thomas Church. Washington declared
that neither report submitted was en-
tirely satisfactory to the majority ot
those in attendance. and inasmuch as the
general convention would have the mat
ter in hand and would be the only body
to act he was opposed TO taking vote
on it. and moved the question be laid
on the table. This elected a storm OF
objections
Failing to find adequate support, Mr..
Church offered a substitute in an amend
ment which read: 1T is the sense OF
this convention that the name of the
Church shall not be changed"
The substitute will probably carry
An important question before the con-
vention was the recognition of the
Church of the Ascension as the cathe-
dral and chief mission house of the do
cese. Bishop Satterlee reminded the
convention that this fact had not been
noted officially. and the Rev. Alfred
Harding offered resolution that a
clause to this effect be inserted in the
records.

BOUND FOR MEXICO
AND NOT FOR TEXAS
Secretary Shaw Goes to In
Spect Mine Properties.
INTERESTED I'M ENTERPRISE
Met President of Company in New Or
leans This Morning-Many Wash
ingtonians Concerned.

Secretary Shaw Is on his way to Mex
leo. He left Washington a few days ago.
stating he desired to attend to official
business in the South, and before his re-
turn would go to Texas. where he has
land near the Beaumont oil fields.
Instead of going to Beaumont how
ever. the Secretary of the Treasury Is
now on his way to Mexico, in company
with c. w. Hays. president ard general
manager of the Hays Consolidated Min
ing, Milling and Lumber Company, of
Washington. in which the Secretary of
the Treasury is said to be largely in
terested financially.
Going to Sonora.
President Hays left Washington Tues
day afternoon for Mexico, and it was his
intention to meet the Secretary of the
Treasury in New Orleans. The two met
there this morning and are scheduled to
leave there this afternoon for the state
of Sonora, where the Hays company has
large mining and timber claims. OFF,
cials of the company decline 10 discuss
the trip of the president and Secretary
of the Treasury, and insist they know
nothing of such plans.
The Hays company is a corporation OF
s.. 900, OO) capital. It's incorporated un-
der the laws of Arizona but all the
stock is held by Washington capitalists.
Some months ago the Secretary of the
Treasury bought a block of the stock,
and since then it has been his desire to
view the property. He chose the pres
ent as the best time TO get away with
ont the knowledge of the presss and take
a look at the possessions of the com
?an-.
Organization of Company.
The officers of the company are c.
NJ Hays. president; James NJ. Bell, first
vice president; H. s. Reeside, second
vice president; J. w Whelpley. treas
urer; A c. Booth. secretary.

Prohibition the Issue.

The Virginia Representatives both re-
port q strong possibility of the prohibi-
tion question becoming the issue of the
next State campaign.
The Democracy of the State is lined
up as Martin and Martin. Thus far
neither side has taken gore than pass
ing notice of the temperance question.
but all eyes are directed at the leaders
in order TO detect the first move that
would show the hand of one or the
other faction in this question.
The Campbell Case
When the State Legislature took cog
nizance Of the Campbell case. and wnen
the Mann bill was enacted as a law, it
was known that temperance as an issue
could not be kept out of the campaign.
Judge Campbell OF the district court of
Amherst county. was charged by the Pro-
bibition leaders with using whisky in his
political campaign. He reualiated by
horsewhipping one of the temperance
leaders who happened 10 be a preacher
Judge Campbell was cleared of the
charge of assault but the case was aired
to some extent in the State legislature.
and il is said had much influence in
bringing about the passage of the Mann
prohibition law.

A LONG ANSWER
IN AN EQUITY CASE
SUIT BY STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
AMERICAN DRY GOODS AsSOCIA-
TON AGAINST PURCHASERS.

An answer going into the details of
the matter in litigation was filed yes
terday afternoon by the defendants in
the equity proceeding of =. o. Teixeira,
A. j. Lopez, j. G. Perregil, Victorino
Carreira and Manuel Sousa against
the American Dry Goods Association,
it'd, L. B. Kerr and Company Ltd, and
L. B. Kerr. The action claims dam
ages for conspiracy to wreck the Amer
lean Dry Goods Association. Among
other allegations denied is that which
represented the stock of the association
to be of the market value of between
fourteen and fifteen thousand dollars.
1t is denied that most of the complain
ants were unfamiliar with the English
language, also that L. B. Kerr & Co.,
had in its employ "men especially con-
versant with the technicalities and
substance of corporation business or
individual business, though admitting
their superiority in this regard to the
officers and stockholders of the Asso-
citation.
Respondents deny that L. B. Kerr
in his personal capacity had anything
whatsoever to do with the transac-
tions" alleged in the bill or that he
in any way aided or assisted" L. B.
Kerr & Co., in the same. A consider
able portion of the answer is taken
up with showing good faith and open
dealing with the Associations affairs
by the Kerr corporation. 1t is de-
clared that a certain vote of stock
holders of the Association, which was
a subject of complaint, was carried
unanimously when all of the COM
plainants were present.
The ejectment suit of James H.
Cummings, VS.. Lausana Noble came on
day afternoon. Holmes & Stanley for
plaintiff; Strauss and E. Long for de-
PENDANT. The following jury was en-
paneled: E. c. Holstein, James A. Aud
c. B. Dwight Isaac Adams, P. NJ. Luz
cas-, NJ W. Parkhurst, ]. H. Love, F.
B. Angus, f. E. Mossman, John Kua-
ana, G. H. Karratti and B. Guerrero.
After the presentation of some docu-
mentary evidence for plaintiff, the case
was continued until Monday morning
at $3.50. The case involves the home
stead of the late James H. Hunt, who
was chief engineer of the Honolulu
fire department at his death. Plaintiff
bought the property but defendant e.
fused to surrender its possession, set
ting up claim as the widow of Hunt.
According to a remark of Mr.. Strauss
while examining the jury, the property
is worth $4,000.

NEARER HEIRS.

In the action to quiet title of Lucy
K. Peabody VS.. Judd and others,
after eight days had been consumed in
the trial, Judge Robinson granted a
nonsuit on motion of Mr.. McClanahan
for defendants. There were 40 grants
in a tract of 100 acres involved and
it appears the plaintiff failed to locate
the property in question. Surveys were
refused admission as evidence under a
Hawaiian decision. The non-suit was
on the ground that the evidence shows
that there are nearer heirs to Charles
Kamana than the plaintiff and that
these heirs are now living"
