BOWEN OPPOSES
THE ALLIES
Proposed Amendment to
Venezuelan Protocols He
Won't Accept.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April AL
though it is stated officially that the
changes made in the Venezuelan pro-
tocols by the allied powers are not of
character to arouse serious opposition
on Mr.. Bowen's part, at least one is of
importance and may require serious
consideration. The original protocols
provided for the submission to The
Hague tribunal of the simple question
whether powers that employ force to
secure payment Of international debts
are entitled to payment before other
creditor powers which do not employ
force. The decision of this question in
the affirmative would involve the pay
ment by Venezuela of all debts due the
allies before single cent could be
paid out OF the customs revenues to the
powers which were content to arrange
for the payment of their claims by
peaceable process.
Now, the allied powers-England.
Germany and Italy-perhaps, in an
t1cipaion of an unfavorable verdict at
The Hague have proposed this amend
ment: In the event the decision of
the tribunal is against preferential
treatment of the allied powers, the
tribunal then shall take up and con-
slider these questions: First-ShouId
venezuela be required to pay the allies
the expense of the blockade Of Ven
eZueIan ports maintained by them?
Second-lf so, what sum of money
should be paid and under what condi-
tions?''
1t is feared that this proposition will
arouse a storm of opposition in Ven
eZuela, where the congress is already
becoming very FESTIVE and can scarcely
be kept in line by the executive to Sc
cure the execution of the protocols
drawn here by Mr.. Bowen.
After a meeting at the British en-
bassy today between Mr.. Bowen and
the allies representatives it was learn
ed that Mr.. Bowen absolutely declined
to accept the amendments concerning
the adjudication of the cost of the
blockade in the event the decision of
The Hague was adverse to the allies.
The powers have accepted about nine
tenths of the protocols, and the above
mentioned amendment is now the only
substantial point of this agreement
unsettled. The allies representatives
have applied to their home govern
ments for further instructions.

BILLY EDWARDS
WILL TAKE STAND
Informs Officials That He Is
Willing to Do His
Duty.

The recent publication in h e
Clio b e of a statement setting forth
the need the state has of the services
of Billy Edwards in the coming re-
vival of municipal house cleaning, yes
terday bore fruit in the shape of a
communication from Mr.. Edwards, re-
celved by the county officials, to the
erect that he is near at hand and will
readily appear upon the call of the
state.
Edwards writes that he knows
threats are being made against him
and that certain Minneapolis officers
have had word forwarded to him that
II he testifies in any of these cases he
will be arrested for perjury. He says
this does not brighten him in the least,
and remarks that he will be ever ready
to do his duty in the matter.
1t is believed that considerable time
will elapse before a jury is selected
to try A. A. Ames, the former mayor
of Minneapolis. 1t is represented that
1t will be difficult to secure twelve
residents of the city of Minneapolis
who have not formed an opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the former
mayor, and that recourse will have tu
be had to the men from the country
towns Of Hennepin county.
A country jury is not to the liking
of the defense. and the work of secur-
Ing jury will be a long and tedious
one.

Governor of Afflicted Swedish Province

WASHINGTON, D c., April 3-Ac-
acknowledgement of the aid rendered by the
American people to the famine sufferers
of Sweden has been made through United
States Minister Thomas at Stockholm by
Earl j. Bergstrom, governor of the PROV
lnce Of Norrbotten. where the failure Of
the crops was marked. After assuring the
minister of the good accomplished by the
American contribution, the governor
adds:
For Norrbotten it has been a great
comfort to feel the interest which has
been shown this remote part of the world
by the people of America, and its inhuen-
t1al newspapers. two of which have sent
TO Sweden special representatives to in
vestigate the situation. The esteem
which the Swedish people have always
cherished and envinced for the American
people will through the sympathy now
shown, be still more confirmed and united
with grateful feelings. 1t would be ex-
esePti9,nally dear to my heart if the
edge of these feelings Of gratitude. so
ffeebly interpreted by me, which fill the
breasts Of the famine sufferers in the
Province of Norrbotten."

On Wednesday this week Southern
pig iron declined 81 per ton, or from

so high that consumers were slow to
