Mrs. Rose Adams Dead.

Mrs. Rose Adams. of Sun city, wife
of Green Adams, died on Monday, Jan.
uary IL. 1903 at 1905 p. m., of typhoid
fever. The entire family is or has
been ill with the same dreaded malady
and Mr.. Adams at this time is very
low. The children are recovering.
Funeral services were held at Lake
City yesterday conducted by Rev. Sloan
of the Baptist church. The deceased was
so years of age. She leaves a husband
and large family of children, most of
whom are grown.
The Index IS indeed very sorry to
hear of this great affection visited upon
this good family. Mrs. Adams was a
noble woman attentive to those she
loved, devoted to her children, and her
sickness was largely aggravated on
account of her care or the family while
undergoing the fever siege. At last
she was attacked herself and taken
from among those it was her delight
to sOOthe and comfort.
We sincerely sympathize with the
afflicted family and hope that the hus-
band and father may recover.

had been murdered, but5at o'clock this
morning Detective Griin made thor
pngh investigations and Coroner Lewis
decided that death was undoubtedly ao-
cidental. Tonight Mr.. Johnson, spn-in-

left after the United States government
imposed tax of $25 upon soda foun-
tains where 1t was sold will disappear
like a flash with the action of the city
of Richmond, which, through the Com
missioner OF Revenue, has just made it
known that the Federal tax will be fol.
lowed UP by a municipal tax consiCera-

1t appears that the confectioner who
sells claret soda will be placed on foot
Ing with the retail whiskey dealer, and
will be compelled to pay regular IL
cense tax. The United States and the
city of Richmond have taken hand and
the State Of Virginia will probably fo!-
low in due time. When the Federal tax
was imposed about SIX dealers In Rich
mond paid up and continued to sell. But
the latest adVices concerning the matter
finish even these six up. 1t appears that
they Will have to pay something like

do not hope to make a profit under such
circumstances.

MAY BE SUBMITTED
TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL
The Allied Powers Proposed That They
be Given Two Thirds of the Duty
Levied on Venezuela for Payment
ofHer Debts and That Other
Powers Decide the
Other Third
tBy Associated press.)

WASHINGTON. D. c., February a.
Herbert W. Bowen. representative
of Venezuela In the negotiations
at Washington for settlement Of
the claims against this coln-
bassador here what amounts practically
to an ultimat,m to the allied powers
of Great Britain, Germany and Italy
regarding their insistence for preferen-
tial treatment in the settlement OF their
claims against Venezuela. This note.
which the British AmbassaAor received
shortly before O'clock Tonight, was
cabled at once to London copies OF it
being transmitted to the Italian and Ger
man Embassies for transmission to Rome
and Berlin. It is in reply to the propo-.
sltion submitted at q joint conference
OF the negotiators this afternoon by
the British Ambassador that the allied
powers be allowed two thirds of thirty
per cent. of the Gus toms receipts of the
ports of Laguayra and Porto Cabella,
and that the United States and the other
claimant nations. France, Belgium. Hol-
land. Denmark, Spain and Norway and
Sweden content themselves with the re-
naming third Of this percentage. that Is
ten per cent, OF the receipts of these
two ports.
REFUSES POINT BLANK
In the note Received by the British
Ambassador from Mr.. Bowen tonight
the latter refuses point blank to accept
the proposition for a twe.hyl and ten per
cent division on the ground that to
recognize the principle 1t emhodles would
be absolutely offensive to modern civiiz-
alton.
In view of the fact that the ncgotlators
are agreed on all save the question of
preferential treatment, the Ambassador
is informed that Venezuela has decided
to submit that question to The Hague
Arbitration Tribunal. This proposition,
Venezuela contends. carries with 1t a
1nllsing of the blackade with the gen
eral understanding that the blockade
would end when the negotiators AT Wash
ington had reached an agreement.
It Is understood that In refusing the last
proposition submitted by the British am
bassador on behalf of the allies Mr.. Bow
en- takes the position that he cannot ac-
ccpt In principle the contention that
blockades and bombardment and conse-
dnent killing of helpless men, women
and children entities any power, or alli-
ance of powers. to preferential treatment
at the hands OF civilized nation 1t Is
claimed that should the peace powers and
the blockading powers agree to such a
principle they would incorporate In the
law Of nations doctrine In conflict with
all modern ethics Moreover. Venezuela,
it is stated. regards tho preferential de-
lnand Of the Powers as objectionable. as
1t would enable tho continuance OF the
triple alliance of Great Britain, Germany
and Italy for a period Of six years or
longer. and Venezuela would be encourag-
Ing and nbetting the maintenance OF a
hostnile alliance against herself.
WANT PEACE.
The British ambassador Is informed in
