Lord Charles said:
1T will teach Great Britain a lesson
of extreme danger of perhaps interna-

limited trade credit to bankrupt and
INSCRIPTIONS republics like Venezuela,
and hen trying to collect bad debts by
coercion. I, personally, am a strong adj

South American republics, however,
will be a menace to the worlds peace
as long as they persist in their I'M
scrupulous commercial dealings with
foreign countries and it must be left
TO the United States to lift them from
their present corrupt state or annex
them entirely. The Hague court is the
proper place to arbitrate the present
dispute"

PROBING FUEL QUESTION
SOME DAMAGING EVIDENCE IS
PRESENTED.
One Dealer in Chicago Swears There
is a Strong Combine-He Was Boy
cotted Because He Would Not Rob
His Customers-Other News Notes
Touching the Fuel Question.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Proof of how the
large coal dealers sought to compel
small dealers to sell coal at prices
quoted by the alleged combine reached
the special grand jury this afternoon,
when Henry Peterson, one small dealer,
testified. According to Peterson. he Wis
tied a large coal company some time
ago and was given a.price list. He had
been purchasing coal from this COM
pany and was instructed, he declared,
to sell coal at $40 a ton. He had a
number of customers whom he knew
could not afford to pay such prices and
he sold them coal at cost price with
out deducting the cost of hauling. As
a punishment for doing this, Peterson
claimed the company refused to sell
him any more coal, and he had not
been able to buy any since from any
other large dealers because of word sent
out that he would not keep up prices.
