val Affairs. which is investigating the
charge made by Representative Lessler
of New York. that he had been APP
preached for the purpose of influence
ing his action as n member of the COM
mittee upon the proposition for author
izing the construction Of submarine
torpedo boats. will make at least a
partial report to the full committee to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Lessler was again before the
subcommittee to-day. and made an
additional statement. In his state
ment he is said to have used the names
of an ex-representative from New York
and another prominent New York pol
itician.
The proceedings Of the sub-commit-
tee were secret. and all the members
were unusually retcent.
1t was with some reluctance that Mr..
Lessler disclosed names in connection
with the charges he made Of improper
attempts to influence his vote, but
finally on pressure gave two names
One Of the persons named, he said,
threatened him with defeat at the last
election If he did not vote as desired
on certain propositions. The other
name he used in connection with his
charges of an attempt to influence his
vote by pecuniary considerations.
Mr.. Lessler's charges are said to
have lacked definiteness when he was
Intercepted by members of the sub
committee. The substance of his story
was not that he had been actually
offerd a bride of $1,000. but that it had
been intimated to him. that he could
get $4,000 II he would vote right"

VENEZUELA WANTS
BLOCKADE RAISED.
Demands This as Precedent of the
Negotiations.


Negotiations.
Washington, Jan. 21.-Raising of the
blockade is Venezuelas condition pre-
cedent to the formal institution of ne
gotiations with the Powers for the set
tlement of their claims.
Her representative, Minister Bowen,
has presented this proposition to the
representatives of the allies here, and
it has been cabled to the foreign offices
at London, Berlin and Rome. Little
progress can be made pending the re-
ceipt of the answers, which, it is ex-
pected, will be in the nature of joint
reply and may not reach Washington
for several days.
Considerable reticence is being main
tanned by the negotiators as to the
preliminary steps, and they are averse
TO discussing the nature of Venezuela's
initial proposition until a reply to it
has been made. 1t is understood,
however, that in asking that the block
ade he lifted, Minister Bowen let it be
understood that he was in a position
to offer suitable guaranty for the pay
ment of the just claims of the allies.
He did not state, however, what this
surety was, and it is expected the re-
ply Of the Powers will be in the nature
of a counter-proposition that Vene-
2uela agree to a settlement of the
claims arising from injuries done to
foreign citizens in Venezuela.
1t developed to-day that Minister
Bowen's powers include jurisdiction
over the claims of all foreign countries,
Castro having authorized him to ne
gotiate through the representatives at
Washington with all the Powers hav-
Ing claims against his country. No
active steps, however, will be taken
until the preliminary difficulties have
been cleared AWAY.

POPE is NOT DEAD.

affair consists Of a bottle that not only car
ries it's stopper with it, but automatically
closes itself when set down.
The attractiveneSs OF the thing is further
enhanced by the fact that the bottle is a
self-opener. as well as a self-closer. All
that is necessary for the person who desires
TO use some Of the contents of the vessel is
that he should invert the bottle. In so doing
he causes the stopper 10 slide up into a
cylindrical head extending above the bot
ties top. This uncovers the holes through
which the liquid flows. Having drawn suf-
ficient of the latter, the bottle is righted.
and this brings the sliding valve back into
place, covering the holes which form the
mouth of the ingenious contrivance.
The idea is clearly illustrated In the ac-
companying picture. a permanently-ftted
arrangement in the place OF the ordinary
cork or stopper is fitted In the neck of the
bottle and carries the extension head.

however, are the apertures designed for the
egress of the liquid contents. Within the
hollow head is the sliding head, which fits
over the apertures when the bottle sets in
it's normal position. The act of inverting
the bottle causes the valve to slide up into
the extension, and thus uncovers the holes.
which are left free for the passage OF the
contents as long as the receptacle is held
in this position.
