ASKS RETURN OF PROPERTY
MINISTER BOWEN MAKES A DE-
MAND ON VENEZUELA.
Requests Asphalt Lake Be Restored
to American Concern and Re-
ceiver Be DISCHARGED.

Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Aug.
20.-Advices were received Friday from
Caracas, saying that the American
minester, Mr.. Bowen, in the name
Of the United States, has request
ed Venezuela to remove Mr.. Car
mock, the receiver appointed to take
charge of the property of the New York
and Bermudas Asphalt company, and to
return the asphalt lake to the American
company.
Washington, Aug. 20.-It is learned at
the state department that there have
been no recent instructions to Mr.. Bowen
relative to the asphalt question, but sew
eral weeks ago he was told that he
should represent to President Castro that
this government had been Informed that
the seizure of the property of the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company
appeared to be illegal; that it was GER
talnly made without due notice to the
company; that such action was scarcely
Judicial and fair, while the case was still
pending before the Venezuelan courts.
and, therefore, that this government re-
quested President Castro to suspend Re-
celVer Garner from the discharge of his
function and to restore the asphalt prop
erty to the company pending the final ac-
ton OF the Venezuelan court. In other
words, this government desired to secure
return to the status before the seizure
Nothing has since been heard from Mr.
Bowen, save mail report, already
referred to, telling of the events leading
up to the seizure,

KNAPP IS ELECTROCUTED
OHIO WIFE MURDERER PAYS
PENALTY FOR HIS CRIMES.
Meets His Fate with Nerve-Execu-
ton Is Accomplished With
out Hitch.

Columbus, O., Aug 20. - Alfred A.
Knapp, convicted Of the murder of his
wife, Hannah Goddard Knapp, and who
confessed to five murders, was electro
cuted in the annex at the Ohio peniten-
tiary few minutes after midnight.
Knapp, who weakened when he found
his last hope for life had gone and ex-
pressed fear that he would have to be
carried to the death, regained his nerve
and met his fate with little show of fear
or emotion. The electrocution was per-
formed without hitch, the first shock
being applied at 1902, the second min
ute later, and at IL: 90 he was pronounced
dead.
Alfred A. Knapp, although convicted
and electrocuted for the murder of his
third wife, Hannah Goddard Knapp, con-
fessed to having committed five muir
ders, all of his victims being women
Knapp was born at Greensbourg, Ind,
in 1862, and for 20 years lived on farm
His first criminal act was in Chicago,
in 1882, when he committed burglary.
He served a sentence at Joliet for that
offense. Most of his offenses were
against women and children, and he
spent more than half of the past % years
behind prison bars.

RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Mob Of 1000 Hungry Strikers Bat
tie with the Police for
Three Hours.

Chicago, Aug. 20. - The fercest riot
of the stockyards strike occurred Thurs
day evening, when hungry jewellers of
the packing house district sought to
capture and kill eight steers which had
escaped from the yards. The mob num-
bered 1000 persons, and the streets were
cleared only after 120 policemen, in five
squads had charged the rioters for three
hours on four sides. Shots were fired
and scores of rioters were dubbed. A
bullet grazed the cheek of Police Lieut..
George Prim, and police sergeant was
stripped of his star and club by woman
rioter. One man was so severely. bat
tered that he was sent to the Englewood
Union hospital. Few arrests were made,
as the police contented themselves with
dispensing the mob. The temper of the
police was shown, however, when call
for reinforcement was answered by a
number of patrol wagons, followed by
an ambulance. In no previous riot were
clubs used SO freely.

CONDITION OF HOAR.
Massachusetts Senator Suffering from
Congestion Of Lungs and Chances
for Recovery Are Slight.

Worcester, Mass, Aug. Ex-senator
Hoar's condition showed a slight i'm
provement Friday. He passed a COM
Portable night, according to his physi-
clans, and was resting quietly at nine
o'clock Friday morning. At noon Rock
wood Hoar issued the following bull
letin:
''The senator is asleep, and has had
a fairly comfortable day. He is holding
his own"
Senator Hoar is suffering, it is be-
lieved, from a postomatic congestion of
the left lung, due to impaired heart &C
ton, and the belief is general that
chances for his recovery are less than
they were early in the morning. Doc
tors who have had similar cases say that
the general breaking down of the sena-
tor physically with the congestion of
the left lung is bad omen, and they
say that his chances for recovery are
very slight, unless the lung clears i'm
mediately.

KIDNAPPED BOY FOUND.
Mystery Surrounds Return of Brook.
Ign Youth-Father Charged
with Abduction.

New York, Aug. 20.-Police headquar-
tiers reported late Thursday night that
Antonio Mannino, the kidnapped Brook
iyn boy for whom the police have
been searching, had been found by a
cousin in the street three blocks from
his home. The search for Mannino has
occupied ten days or more. He was
supposed to have been kidnapped by the
'eBlack Hand society, an organization
in New York and vicinity.
The circumstances surrounding the
return of M0nino are almost as mystic
rious as was his disappearance. Ac-
cording to Salvatore Mannino, a rela-
tive, the boy was found alone on the
street near his home, after midnight
Friday, but this the police do not
believe, and Salvatore Mannino is
locked up on charge of abduction.
The police do not believe the so-called
BLACK Hand" society had anything to
do with the boys disappearance A
theory advanced by the police is that
Mannino was kidnapped by his own rela-
lives, ana LndL the parents ana the boy
were threatened with death, if the boy
told all he knew. This is thought to
have been the elder Mannino's reason
for silencing the lad while he was being
questioned, and is also thought to &C.
count for the boys state of terror and
apparent dread of impending danger.
It is known that the boys father has
not furnished all the facts possible
to the police and has not given all the
assistance to find the boy that was pos
sible for him to do.
Salvatore Mannino was arraigned on
the charge of kidnapping, and was held
in $1,000 bail. Bail in the cases of the
others who have now been under arrest
several days was placed at $4,000.

The output of the Texas oil fields
increase over that of the preceding
one, Indicating that the apprehension
of decline in productions was ground
less. For the six months ending June
30 the movement of oil was as fol-
lows: Port shipments 5,154,000 bar
rels, railroad shipments 100000 bar
rels, total of 9,154,00 barrels. To
this must be added the field consump-
ton, estimated at 5000 barrels a day,
which would make for the six months
1,456,OOO barrels.

dangerous competitor in oleomarga-

no less formidable in character; this
is an exotic productive butter, in
fact, extracted from the meat of the

ed with cocoa butter, though, sounding
very similar to cocoa butter, is never
theless prepared from an entirely diff
ferent nut and used for quite other
purposes.

The American uses astonishingly
few slang words in speaking of pieces
of money perhaps because he has
greater respect for it. A f1ve-cent
piece is usually referred to as a nickel,
but this is practically the only slang
term applied to any of our money in
general use. A dime is officially a
dime. and so is a quarter. But turn
to the English appellations for their
money, and hardly a bit of it is re-
ferred to under the authorized and off,
