British rule, the tariff, the Chinese,
the Negro and the labor problems, the
last two being the most difficult Of all
Mr.. Williams told some stories about
dishonest help and tyrannical bosses,
and said that apparently the Negro
question was the most difficult ques-
ton which had yet confronted the
american nation. for solution. The
main question of the day is, What
shall we do with the Negro?''
His answer was:
Treat him just as you do other citi-
zens. If he is skilled workman,
admit him into your unions, and al
low him the same chance TO earn an
honest living as you do other men
If he is a law-breaker. put him into

DWIGHT M. SABlN DEAD.
Former Minnesota Senator Expires
Suddenly in CHICAGO,

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Former United
States Senator Dwight M. Sabin of
Minnesota died suddenly early Tues
day morning in his apartments at the
Auditorium Annex Mr.. Sabin had
been a guest of the hotel since Nov.
2, being accompanied by his wife and
daughter. He was stricken with heart
failure at II o'clock Monday" night,
and Mrs. Sabin promptly notified the
Office and doctor was summoned.
He found Mr.. Sabin in dying condi-
ton and beyond medical aid. The pa
tient remained conscious for upward
of an hour, and the end was peaceful.
Dwight M. Sabin was born at Man
Illus, ILL.,, April 25, 1916. He was edu.
Gated at Windham, Conn, and came to
Minnesota shortly after. He was a
member of the legislature from 1871
to 1883, and in the latter year was
elected United States senator, after
prolonged deadlock in which William

SUGGESTION OF KAISER.
Proposal to Request the President to
Act as Arbitrator.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The small German
cruiser Sperber, whose reconstruction
has just been finished, has been or
dered to join Commodore Scheder.s
squadron in Venezuelan waters. She
will sail from Wilhelmshaven in two
or three days. The Sperber, besides
her own complement, takes seventy
five men to man the Restaurador, cap
tured by the Germans from Venezuela.
The blockade of the Venezuelan
coast will continue until definite ar
rangement for arbitration has been
reached. Germany will be we'll sat
listed if President Roosevelt under
takes the task. His acceptance would
be considered a sufficient guarantee
that Venezuela would pay if she lost.
Asking President Roosevelt to arbi-
trate was the emperor's suggestion.
An indirect inquiry three or four days
ago not eliciting refusal from the
president request has now been made
in direct form. Although Germany is
ready to submit her case to any impair
tial tribunal she would prefer Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the reason that
President Castro is more likely to &C
cept the decision of the president of
the United States than that OF The
Hague tribunal. If President Castro
evades payment under President
Roosevelt's award the people of the
United States, it is claimed here,
would, with positive pleasure, see the
allies compel him to pay up.
The United States is considered here
as emerging from the affair with all
credit. The Monroe doctrine has been
acknowledged by two of the greatest
powers of Europe, President Roosevelt
has been accepted as arbitrator by all
the parties concerned and the South
American states have been persuaded
by events that the United States is the
only power between them and Europe.
The only annoying thing to the Ger
man government has been the alleged
readiness of Americans to suspect
Germany of secret designs. The re-
ported extraordinary DISTRICT of Ger
many has been a painful surprise to
the emperor and to the cabinet.

American Steamer Caracas Arrives at
La Guayra.
Caracas, Dec. 24.-The Red D liner
Caracas safely entered the harbor of
La Guayra at a. m. The mail, freight
and passengers of the Caracas were
landed at once.
Caracas. Dec 24-The Red D line
steamer Caracas, from New York,
Dec. Is, via San Juan, Porto Rico, and
Willemstad, Curacao, is expected at
La Guayra shortly and will be allowed
free entrance by the blockading YES
sells. This decision, however, was not
arrived at without some difficulty, due,
it is claimed here, to the lack of unity
of action on the part of the allies. The
commander of the British cruiser Trib-
une notified Mr.. Schuck, the consul
of Great Britain, that the Caracas
could enter the port of La Guayra.
The Tribune then sailed from La Quay
"a, leaving the Italian cruiser Giovanni
Bausan in charge of the blockade.
The first act of the commander of the
Bausan was to notify the agents OF the
Red D line that the Caracas would not
mails or freight. The commander of
the United States gunboat Marietta,
Lieutenant Commander Diehl, the
commander of the French cruiser
Troude and the United States consul
were Immediately informed of the
stand taken by the Italian commander,
whose decision was regarded as VIC
lating the terms Of the DEGREES
Establishing the Blockade,
which allowed all steamers coming
from the United States ten days grace
from the date of the establishment of
the blockade, Dec. 20, in which to
reach Venezuelan. ports. Mr.. Boulton,
of Boulton & Co., agents of the line
and all the foreign merchants entered
protests against the Italian command
er's decision and the commander of
the Marietta and the United States
consul cabled to Washington for in
structions. Meanwhile Lieutenant
Commander Diehl, after an hours con-
ference with the Italian commander,
succeeded in convincing him he was
wrong in his Interpretation of the
blockade DEGREES and finally the cap
tain of the Giavonni Bausan assured
Lieutenant Commander Diehl that the
Caracas would be allowed to enter the
port of La Guayra without hindrance.
The German warship which passed
La Guayra Sunday, towing two large
schooners, was the Panther. She cap.
tured the vessels near Maracaibo
The Bausan and the Tribune have
captured the following prizes:

from Carenero; the sloop Cornelia.

SCHOONERS IN COLLISION.
Ten Men Drowned and Several Sur.
vivors Die of Exposure.

Boston, Dec. 23.-The fishing
schooner Manhasset has arrived here
with ten of the survivors of the crews
of the schooners Frank A. Palmer and
Louise E. Crary, which were in col
lision in Massachusetts bay on
Wednesday.
Ten men of both vessels were
drowned in the collision, the balance,
fifteen, took to one boat. One subse-
quently went insane and jumped over
two went insane after getting ashore.
Both captains were saved.
The Louise B. Crary was a five
masted and the Frank A. Palmer a
four-masted schooner. They were
10th coalladen, bound for Boston. At
a. m, Sunday, when the Manahasset
was forty-five miles off Highland
Light, the lookout sighted small boat
with men who were making signals of
distress. The Manahasset changed her
course and bore down on the little
craft which proved to be the boat
which had been launched from the
Crazy. Only ten of the men aboard her
were alive and they were almost help
less as result of their exposure to
the rigorous weather. Saturday night
one man became crazed by his suffer
ings and, shouting at the top of his
voice that the police were after him,
jumped overheard and disappeared.
Four other members of the little boats
company died from exhaustion and the
exposure to which they had been sub
jected.
All the survivors were frost bitten
and some of them will probably have
their hands and feet amputated. The
Manahasset came into harbor showing
signals for assistance and by the time
she arrived at wharf ambulances
were ready to transfer the sailors to
the hospital. Only six of the men
could be removed, however. The
other four were in such a critical con-
dition that it was deemed impossible
that they could survive being taken
from the vessel.
The Frank A. Palmer was the larg-
est four-masted schooner ever con-
structed. She was built at Bath, Me-,
in 1897 and was sold to ]. S. Wnslow
& Co. of Portland, Me. She sailed
from Newport News on Dec. 4 with
400 tons of coal for Boston.

OPPOSE The IDEA
PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON
PRESIDENT TO DECLINE PO.
SlTIoN OF ARBITRATOR
NUMEROUS PROTESTS ARRIVE

Opposition to the Plan Comes From
Newspapers, From Public Men
Throughout the Country and From

net Meeting Devoted to the Subject.
Washington, Dec. 24.-The formal
proposals of Great Britain and Ger
many that President Roosevelt arbi-
trate the Venezuelan dispute did not
arrive here over night, nor were they
at hand when the cabinet met, but it
is expected that they will reach Wash
ington within a day or two.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to decline the
invitations to act as arbitrator. This
pressure comes from the newspapers,
from public men throughout the coun-
try and from senators and representa-
tives in Washington. Senator Cullom
OF the senate committee on foreign re-
lations called at the state department
with a bundle of kilograms, all ener-
getic protests against the embarkation
of the president upon this arbitration
scheme, and all from men prominent
in Illinois.
The cabinet spent the entire time of
the meeting in a discussion of the Ven
ezuelan situation. Views for and
against the presidents acceptance of
the invitation to arbitrate were dis
cussed. Pending the receipt of the in
vitation it is stated that the president
declines to commit himself as to his
curse.
A divergence OF opinion has arisen
in the cabinet as to the desirabillty OF
the presidents acceptance of the post
Of arbitrator, even if it should be in
sisted on by the powers. The fear is
expressed that some embarrassing con-
tingency may arise in the course OF the
arbitration that, in the end, might seri-
ously involve the United States.
The state department has received
cablegram from Minister Bowen, the
first for several days, recording the
establishment of the blockade lines,
according to the proclamations al
ready issued, and stating that the port
of Coro is not yet blockaded.

Official announcement is made here
that Sir Courtenay Knollys, the acting

Of formality, taken with the intention
to legalize the proclamation of the

article, says:
"All commercial intercourse be-
tween the two peoples is interdicted.
When hostile vessels capture a neu-
trail the property on board is not af-
fected. A free ship makes free goods.
They may capture the enemy's ships
and the enemy's property on board but
they must spare neutral vessels and
ELL goods therein, whether belonging
to the enemy or to neutrals, and also
Neutral goods found in the enemy's
vessels"
The declaration will have the effect
of legalizing the seizure of Venezuelan
warships.
