CASTRO TEMPTS COERCION
This Time He Incurs Ill Will BY Back
ing Seizure Of Asphalt.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The presi
dent is getting his big stick" ready for
Venezuela and will use it unless Pres
ident Castro changes front entirely to-
ward the asphalt trust. State depart
ment officials hoped that the represen-
tations made to Castro through Min
lister Bowen, in which it was suggest
ed that the asphalt lakes be turned
back to the trust pending the final de-
cision of the supreme court or that the
property be allowed to remain idle to
prevent loss to the trusts. would be
accepted as a hint of the determined
policy the administration has decided
to pursue and result in prompt compli-
ance with its wishes.
The suggestion of executive intel
ligence in NeneZuela's affairs was con-
ditionally received and its effect has
seemed to increase CastrO's hostilities.
1t was reported to the state depart
ment today that the NeneZueld court Oh
first instance has confirmed the seizure
of the asphalt trusts property by
Castro under attachment proceedings.
The case now goes to the supreme
court which is expected to affirm the
decision as the court is dominated by
Castro.
The inquiry which has been made
into the case has convinced Secretary
Hay that the seizure of the property
amounted to confiscation, and that it
is part of a scheme to turn the as
phalt lakes over to new company,
greatly to the financial gain of Castro
There is alleged to be proof of this
claim and it is on that basis that the
drastic action now contemplated will
be taken.

At the regular monthly meeting OF

quarters on California street, an ex-
tremely interesting address was made
by Miss Hyde on Japanese Art.
Miss Hyde. who has recently COM
pleted a tour Japan and who dur-
ing her sojourn IN that country was
greatly taken by the artistic charac-
teristics OF the Japanese people. said
yesterday that Japan is the only coun-
tFy OF the world in which real live art
exists. In part she said:

artistic standpoint.
At the conclusion OF her remarks
Miss Hyde exhibited several paintings
and screens that she had brought

which is delicate and beautiful. A
vote OF thanks was rendered the
speaker tr the knowledge she had
impaired on a subject Of which many
are ignorant
Miss Agnes Murphy, who was the
guest OF honor at the meeting. was in
troduced by Mrs. Long. the president
OF the club. Miss Murphy made a few
remarks on the subject OF art and
stated that with the assistance OF Miss
Moore she had organized the first
sketch club in Australia The club
was organized twelve years ago and
is now OF great importance, having
turned out several OF the most re-
nowned artists OF the modern salon.
Miss Murphy, who was a close friend
OF the late Phil May. told several
amusing little anecdotes OF him that
were received with great laughter.
Phil May ran away from school al
the age Of II. she said He never took
a drawing lesson in his life, but was
acknowledged TO be one OF the great
est artists in his line OF work that ths
world has ever known. He never took
a music lesson in his life. but could
play and sing the most difficult COM
positions He never would study. but
could quote Shakespeare throughout
and was a linguist. being able tn

Charles Augustus Wins From
Joe Podesta After Mixup
That Thrilled the Crowd

The monthly boxing show which the
Lincoln Club promoted at Mechanics
Pavilion annex last night produced a
fair quantity of excitement. for the
bouts in many instances were rough,
uncouth affairs, fun of slugging and
wild, windmill-like punching, that made
the crowd rise at times and emit yells
and shouts OF praise.
Many of the star performers knew
the game only in name and acted like
tramps as soon as they got inside the
arena For instance, George Braun,
who mixed it with Teddy Wolfe in the
main scrap of the night. fought like a
kangaroo in the ring After Wolfe had
put him 10 the floor half a dozen times
in. the second round Referee Milton
Hayes called the go off and gave Wolfe
the decision
Wolfe had his man under his wing
from the tap OF the gong. Braun start
ed the mill with a lunge and q rush.
but Wolfe met him with a few we'll
placed right uDDercuts and put him TO
the carpet in the initial mixup. The rest
of the fight was much the same Braun
would rush in and receive 4 wallOp that
generally staggered him He did not
land once on Wolfe. and after he kept
going TO the mat like a rubber ball in
the second round the referee nercifully
put an end to the farce.
Joe Podesta and Charles Augustus.
two ightweights. furnished the best
bout of the night. They started to as
sail each other in the first round, and
-
and body was kept up till Augustus
was given the decision at the end OF the
fourth. Both men were aggressive
and slugging was in order in every
round Each scored several knock
downs, but they always came back
ready and willing to mix it, Augustus
was the faster and the stronger, but
Podesta was foxy and game 10 the last.
Many thought the decision should have
been his. and the verdict Of the judges
was rewarded with a chorus OF Kisses
Young Mcclure got the decision over
