meat shops to be seen there. This at
tractiveness is secured largely by the
use of ornamental tiles for floors,
walls and even ceilings and counters.
The tiles on the walls are similar to
those used in bathrooms in the United
States. They are generally Of light
shades, arranged in patterns of artistic
design. The floors are also laid with
tiles Of different colors. These tiles,
however, are unglazed and are heavier
and of cheaper quality than those on
the walls. In one Of the most attract
i've Of these shops the walls are OF
ivory colored tiles, with panels OF
flowers and other designs. The coun-

room, is Of the same ivory colored ma.

the room is suggestive, above all, Of

EAGLE SCREAMS IN HOUSE
DEAN LIGGETT IN DANGER
Representative J. D. Shearer
Wants the Constitutional
Amendments Headed by
the Stars and Stripes and
Deposited in Red, White
and Blue Ballot Boxes.

The eagle screamed in the house yes
terday morning when Representative
Haugland's bill providing a new form
of ballots for the constitutional amend
ments was reached on general orders
with the house sitting as a committee
of the whole
This bill provides that all such cues
tions submitted to the vote Of the peo-
pie be placed on a separate ballot, yel-
low in color, the belief being that with
the questions thus forced to the atten-
ton of the voters more interest will
be displayed. Under the present sys-
tenn it has been practically impossible
to secure enough votes to pass any
amendment
Representative Shearer, of Hennepin,
shared, this belief, but felt that the plan
should be carried farther along with an
appeal to the patriotism of the voters.
lie wanted the amendments to be print
Ell on separate white ballot with
the stars and stripes in colors printed
at the top of the ticket, and more than
that, to have the ballot boxes paint
ed red, white and blue.
Mr.. Shearer convinced a number
with his enthusiastic argument, but
Mr. Haugland maintained that two
white ballots would confuse and held
to his yellow tickets. Mr.. Gillette, of
Hennepin, wanted each constitutional
dIlIeHuIlIeHt printed on a separate tfcK-
ct, his intention being 10 Drina the
gross earnings tax amendment out
more prominently
At the conclusion Of the argument
the house sent the bill back to the
committee on elections.
In the afternoon the committee took
up the measure and after long de-
bate rejected the Shearer sugges tio1i.
Mr.. Gillette's amendment to place each
anne mendment on, separate ballot was
also rejected, but the committee COM
promised with the member from Hen
nepin by amending the Haugland bill
so that the gross earnings amendment
will be printed at the head of the list
to be submitted to the voters and print
ed in larger type than the other amend
ments. With this change the bill was
recommended to pass and will be SO
reported to the house.

sTERNRERG VS.. HERBERT.
Will the German outpIay the British
Representative?

hGRfGSCfiSdIINGs
Special Cable to The Globe.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-Germans in this
city are watching with lively expect
ancy the resolute efforts of Baron
Speck Won Sternberg to outplay Sir
M. Herbert the British ambassador, in
the game of trying to capture
Americas confidence with relation to
the Venezuelan imbroglio. The British
are watching the same effort with
equal absorption and some anxiety.
AS matter of course" said a
German official today, "our new envoy
wishes to win reputation. He knows
that the kaiser would value above
every other possible achievement his
uproOting the diStrust of Germany
which prevails in the United States.
That is really what Speck Won Stern
berg went to Washington to accom-
plish. Thus far he has handled the
task with delicacy and apparent sue
cess, and is gradually convincing the
American people that Germany is sin
cere in all her representa- tions respect
ing South America. If Herbert should
awake some morning to find the tide
OF American suspicion. turning against
him, nobody could blame the Germans
for viewing the change with satisfac-
ton.
British foreign office officials are ap-
prehensiVe only lest Won Sternberg
should propose a more effective solu-
ton of the Venezuelan problem which
might make it appear to persons out
side the state department that Ger
many had been more anxious for set
tlement than Great Britain They de-
clare that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay are thoroughly aware
of the consistent desire and endeavor
of Great Britain speedily to Withdraw
the controversy from the region Of
danger.

PRESIDENT TO BE AGAIN
ASKED TO ARBITRATE

the adjudication of the claims of each
of the creditor nations is to be taken
up by separate commission, one for
each claimant power. These commits
sions will first insist upon a. repre-
sentative of the creditor nation and a
representative for Venezuela. In case
of disagreement the king of Spain is,
in each instance, to appoint an arbiter.
1t is expected that each claimant will
. appoint its envoy at Caracas to repre-
sent it on it's commission, and Presi-
dent Castro will delegate either the
Venezuelan minister for foreign affairs
or some other official of the foreign
office as Venezuela's representative.
Where the services of an arbiter are
needed the king of Spain will, in all
probability select for this mission the
Spanish minister to Caracas. who is
recognized as an able diplomat.
What Belgium May Do.
After the commission claims have
been adjusted they are to be collected
by the Venezuelan officials of the Gus
toms receipts of the two ports of Porto
Cabello and La Guaira, 80 per cent be-
ing the amount which Mr.. Bowen and
the allies agreed shall be set aside for
this purpose. In the event that the
Caracas government permits thirty
days at any time during the full settle
prompt and full payments to any ma
ton, the plan provides that the Bel
gium government shall then step in
and take charge of the administration
of the customs receipts, to insure fair
treatment for the foreigners.
This idea was suggested to Mr..
Bowen by the fact that the Belgians
are in entire charge of the admins
tration Of the customs receipts of Per-
sia, where Mr.. Bowen was minister
before his appointment to Venezuela.
Venezuela May Protest.
An official ~of the Washington gov
ernment, upon learning tonight of the
intention of the allies to appeal to
President Roosevelt to act as arbiter
made the-point that if the allies appeal
10 the president without consulting
Mr.. Bowen and gaining his consent
Venezuela will feel that her rights are
being trampled on, and unless her
permission is gained, will certainly not
consent to the powers naming the az
bitter of this vital question In the
event that the matter goes to The
Hague, the allies will only be accept
ing the proposition made by Mr..
Bowen in its ultimatum addressed to
the British ambassador last Monday
Baron Sternberg had conference
with Mr.. Bowen late tonight.

Harmless Looking Bill In
troduced in the Senate
Threatens to Remove Head
of Agricultural College
From Board of University
Regents.

A Misunderstanding bill, introduced
IN the senate yesterday morning by
senator Samuel Lord, promises TO drag
the legislature into a factional fight
now Waging in state university cir
cles, for Senator Lords measure,
Chough 1t wears most innocent look,
can apparently be Intended to do moth
ing other than wrest from Dean W. M.
Llggett, of the state agricultural col
lege, his position on the board Of re-
gents of the state university.
Senator Lords bill is intended to
amend the act under which the board
of regents was appointed, and the fol-
lowing Clause makes it plain that it is
directed at Dean Liggett
mo person except the president of
the university shall be eligible to or
hold the office of regent of the state
university who holds any office or
place under or subject to supervision
Of the state board of regents, or whose
salary is fixed or subject to change by
the regents or whose acts or doings it
is the duty of the regents to super
wise, investigate or control"
1t is reported that there has been
considerable friction between Dean
Llggett and Principal Tucker and
other members of the state agricul-
tural college faculty, and in the en-
counters the dean has the better of
the argument. his position both as a
member of the board of regents and a
member of the faculty giving him the
upper hand.
The argument is that if Dean Liggett
can be removed either from the head of
the agricultural college, or from his
seat on the board of regents, his posi-
ton would be weakened, and his in
fiuence and power greatly reduced.
The bill has not yet been explained
by Senator Lord, but as Dean Liggett
has but recently been appointed regent
for six years, the general belief is that
the bill is designed for no other pur-
pose than to remove him from the
board
