FALSE, SAYS CREENE|
Head of Asphalt Company
 Denies Helping Matos.
CAS1RO'S CHARGES 1RUMPED UP.
Solicitor of state Department Reports That Accusations Made by vene- suela's President Are Untrue.
 No Assistance Given Rebels.

No Assistance Given Rebels.
 WASHINGTON, April 3.-Solicitor Penfeld of the state department re- ported last night that the charges made in Venezuela against General Francis V. Greene and the asphalt company of which he (Greene) was the head to the effect that he and the asphalt people had aided the Mates revolution were false. Some months ago General Greene submitted to the state department sworn denial of the truth of these reports and had backed his denial by affidavits from responsible officers of the asphalt con- pany, denying that they or the con- pany had aided the Mates revolution lsts in any way.
 General Francis V. Greene has re- iterated his denial of the charge of the attorney general of Venezuela that he had paid the sum of $l3O,GOO to Mates, the revolutionary leader.
 It was charged by President Castro that General Greene. as one of the officers of the asphalt trust paid $780, poo for the support of the Mates revo- lution against President Castro and that the New York and Bermudez con- pany entered into Gn alliance with the revolutionists to defeat the Castro ad- ministration. The charges were pub lished in a decision of the federal dis trict court of Venezuela on March 14. 1905. This decision was in denial of the motion made by the New York and Bermudez company for dismissal of the action of the court to compel the company to pay damages to Venezuela for having aided the revolution. The charges against Greene say: Upon the definite conclusion of the alliance between the New York and Bermudez company and the chief of the liberating revolution when the lat ter was in New York during the month of June. 1901. the company began to supply him with the necessary funds to carry on the campaign. It was thus that when General Mates returned to Europe General Francis Y. Greene, then president of the National Asphalt company and one of the directors of the New York and BermudeZ company, in charge of the direction of all the af- fairs of the company in Venezuela, went to meet him during the month of July in order to contract for the pur" chase Of q steamer and tcr necessary clements of war.
 "A few months later. as the result of General Greene's work in Europe, the fatally celebrated steamship Ban Righ, whose history of piratc deprcdations is known to all. came to the coast of Venezuela. carrying an immense amount of munitions of war and hay. ing on board the chief of the revolu tion."

THE GIRL AND THE MOON.

THE GIRL AND THE MOON.
 Quite the most recent innovation in musical comedies has been produced by Elmer E. Vance, whose first effort In this line of work "'The Girl and the Moon.' will be presented at Polls to- moiTow evening, and serve to intro duce Beatrice Vance, a, singing comedi- enne, as star. The treatment of the book, score. and environment. is d dis tinct novelty; the atmosphere adher- ing strictly to the romantic locale Of the France rural districts and is en- tilety devoid of inconsistent interrup. tiOns for the purpose of introducing specalties. In other words. each of the many features belong to the story which concerns the abduction of A child by gypsies, who dispose of her to small country circus, where she is called La Croissant." Her relatives :'ld attorney discover the young wo. man in a small town where the tircus has pitched its tents, and the climax of the act reveals realistic bareback riding act in small ring. She is. of course installed in her chat , Il. where ! the social duties of one of her station are very irksoma, and the best comedy of the production is provided by Miss Vance in her actions display:ng the ar tificial formalities of society. Through out the piece she has many opportuni- ties to display her versatility as a comedienne and dancer, while her rem dition of the most popular musical numbers will undoubtedly impress theatergoers with the fact that she is probably the first lyric player to com bine terpsichorean and vocal ability without detriment to either. The cast supporting her is said to be a capable rle Prices are $1.0O, 75, 30, 35 and oI cents
