THE PROTOCOLS IN SHAPE.
and the Representatives Of the
Allied Powers,

Washington, Feb. 13.-The proba-
bility is that the protocols for the
raising of the blockade which has
been maintained by England, Ger
many and Italy against Venezuela for
more than a month will be signed by
Minister Bowen and the Representa-
tives of the allied government here.
Every indication points to that end.
Minister Bowen had a busy day
comforting with the English and Ital-
ian ambassadors and the German
minister regarding various features
of the protocols, with the result that
they are practically in final shape.
The signing of the protocols will. it
is expected, be done at the British
embassy, as it is regarded rather inn
prudent for Sir Michael Herbert to
venture out on account of his illness.
The protocols will provide for the
raising of the blockade at once, for a
cash payment of 95,500 to each of
the three allied governments, and for
the payment to Germany of 1,700, 009
bolivars in five installments, less the
$500 paid in cash. The first INSTALL
ments, less the 100000 bolivars, or
f~340,000 is to be paid on March Is.
The protocols also will provide for
the reference of the question of pref
erential treatment to The Hague, al
though it is understood this feature
will be so worded as to leave a loop
hole in the event it is desired to set
tie the question without such refer
ence.
For the payment of claims of the
allies, Mr.. Bowen has arranged to be-
gin Immediately the setting aside of
80 per cent. of the receipts of the two
ports of Porto Cabello and La Guayra
as originally proposed. The first re-
ceipts set aside will be those for the
month of March. The funds will be
retained in the custody of Venezuela
and will be paid out according to ar
engagements that may be hereafter
made.

THE WHEELS Of JUSTICE.
They Are Being Started to Revolve
in an Effort to Grind the "Get-
Rich-Quick' Promoters.
SEVERAL CHICAGO CONCERNS RAIDED.
Circuit Attorney Folk of st. Louis
Had Started an Invest CATION and
Would Have Been Ready to Spring
His Trap In a Day or Two After
the Arnold Failure.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Three turf invest
ment companies offices were raided
here, Friday evening, by detectives,
and a number of attaches were ar
rested. The head of a fourth con-
Germ, warned of the proposed move
ment, made his escape before the de-
tectiyes arrived. The firms visited by
the police were the II. Brolaski Co.,
Benedict & Co., the Nid-ContinentI In
vestment Co. and A. j. Demorest d
Co. When the detectives reached the
Demorest place, the president of the
company, A. j. Demorest, could not
be found. A number of patrons were
in front of the locked doors, clamor-
ing for payment.
The raids followed a general police
order to close all fraudulent turf ex-
changes in Chicago. Three squads of
detectives started out simultaneously
to round up the alleged offenders.
The first place visited was the offices
of Brolaski & Co., where Brolaski and
five other persons were taken in
charge. Brolaski declared that he had
been doing nothing wrong and that
he we carrying on a business for the
benefit of his investors. In the Office
at the time were two women, how
ever, who said they had made invest
ments, but had been unable to. get
their money back when they called
for it. George II. Vincent, of Daven-
port, Ia, also appeared at Brolaski's
office while the raid was in progress,
and declared that he had lost SLIGO.
He said that he had invested his mon
ey on the promise of big gains, but
that he had not received a cent in div
idends. During the raid at Benedict
d Co.'S offices a number of men called
to ask that the money they had in
trusted with the company be re-
turned to them. One man said that
he had $1,000 invested with the COM
pany. but was unable to get it out.
The heads of the Benedict and Bro
laski concerns were booked at the po-
lice station on state charges of con-
Quoting a bookmaking business, and
on city charges of running gambling
enterprises. Harry Brolaski and Hen
ry Thompson, of the Brolaski COM
pany, and NJ. j.. Beck, w. j. Mason
and Matty Woodson, the latter a
woman, were released on bonds o.
$500 in each case.
The circulars seized in the offices
raided reveal. it is said. several in
genious new schemes. Letters from
men, women and boys in nearly every
town throughout the middle west
We're found, with hundreds of COM
munications from C~hicagoans.
Although no definite estimate of
the amount lost to investors can be
made at present, it is said the total
will run into hundreds of thousands.

merciaI Paper Lost from a Postal.
Pouch ON a Mail Car.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. IA pack
age of letters containing upwards of
$4,000 in commercial paper was lost
by the postal authorities from a
pouch on the Pennsylvania train leav-

apolis. A thorough investigation by
the postal authorities has failed to
produce the missing package. The

plants coming to the indianapolis
post office from towns along the lire.
The theory put forward at the post
Office is that the package was left N
a pouch through the carelessness of
an employe, after it was thought TIC
have been emptied. No suspicion
rests on anyone of wrongdoing and
no attempt has been made to cash
any of the missing checks.
