Interstate Commerce Committee List
ems to Argument on the Measure.
Washington. Feb. 14.-For an hour
Yesterday afternoon the interstate COM
merce committee of the senate listened
to arguments and evidence offered by
advocates and opponents of the Hep
burn liquor bill.
Attorneys for the brewing and whisky
interests assaulted the bill upon the
grounds Of unconstitutionality. assert
ing the proposed bill to be I'm the inter
est of prohibitory legislation, which In
Iowa and Vermont had proven fail
ure.
The attorney for the temperance
forces denied this allegation, assert
ing that the bill was designed only
to give to the states jurisdiction over
liquor under their police powers. turis-
diction, in fact, which congress in
tended to give and thought it was
giving when the Wilson bill was passed
The only point of difference has been
that the courts held that the words
upon arrival within the state" were
held to mean after delivery to the con
signee. The Hepburn bill subjects
liquor to the jurisdiction of the state
before delivery to the consignee in 4
stead of after. The proposed law would
have no effect whatever upon any
liquor dealer carrying on legitimate
business in Iowa. The committee will
meet again next Friday and determine
whether or not to report the bill. Sen
ator Foraker is reported to have SAID
the bill is unconstitutional
The situation seems TO have suddenly
changed and tonight Colonel Irish stock
lie below par Such pressure has been
brought to bear that it is claimed

der of Her Husband.

District Judge Good yesterday jury
was secured for the trial of Mrs. Lena
M. Lille, charged With the murder of
her husband, Harvey Lille, at this
place last October. The court room
was crowded. County Attorney Evans,
in his opening address, outlined the
case of the state, saying that it would
be proved that the dead man was shot
while sleeping in his bed; that the
motive connecting TIE woman with the
the crime was that her husband carried
$1,000 life insurance, and that the testi-
mony would show that Mrs. Lille had
lost considerable money in bucket shop
deals. Only two witnesses were ex-
amined when court adjourned
The Lille family was among the
most prominent in DaFid City, and the
shooting Of Mr. Lille the greatest sem
sation in the history of tn town. The
preliminary hearing of Mr. Lille oc-
cupied over two weeks, and tae present
trial, 1t is believed. will exceed that.

In consequence of the arrangements

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE Government Is
telegraphing instructions today for
raising the blockade Of the Venezuelan
coast Immediately. These instructions
may not reach all blockading vessels
today, but it is expected the blockade
will be fully raised by tomorrow on
Monday, especially since Commodors
Scheder had been expecting such in
structions and had arranged for their
prompt transmission.
Two memoranda explaining the pro-
tocol were signed by Minister Bowen,
The text of the first follows:
..As the imperial German government
holds that claims originating from the
Venezuelan civil wars OF 1898 to 1900
are no more apt to be submitted to ar
bitration, the government Of Venezuela
has to acknowledge at once these
claims, amounting to $325,000. and eth
er to pay the amount in cash without
any delay. OF, should this be impossible,
, 20 guarantee speedy payment of them
by guarantees which are deemed suffi-
cient by the Imperial German govern
ment."
The second explanatory document
reads:
'.The, conditions of the German gov
ernment having been accepted, Bowen
will now have to provide for payments
Of the $325,000, or give adequate guar
antee for this amount. Should Bowen
choose the latter way the guaranty is
to be specified distinctly. For instance,
In case of the guaranty being based on
customs revenues, as suggested by
Bowen, it would be necessary to state
exactly in which way payment is to
take place out Of this revenue. Guar
anty will have to be given de facto and
without delay"
In the event of five drafts handed to
Baron spec Won Sternberg last night
being defaulted, 1t is stipulated that a

revenues at one Of the Venezuelan ports
