CASTRO TURNS DOWN PROPOSAL
RELATIVE TO DIFFERENCES
WITH UNITED STATES.

Washington. March 25.-Minister
Bowen cables the state department
from Caracas that President Castro
has fatty refused to arbitrate the
pending issues between Venezuela
and the United States.
The administration will take no ac-
ton in regard to the reply which
President Castro Of Venezuela made
to Minister Bowen The matter was
fully discussed at the cabinet meet
Ing during the day and it was deter
mined to allow the matter to await
developments. The situation is con-
sidered such, as not to necessarily In
terfere with the departure of the pres
fdent on his Southwestern trip.
After other members of the cabinet
had left the White House Secretary
Taft and Postmaster General Cortel-
you continued with the president the
discussion Of the Venezuelan ques-
ton. 1t can be said positively that no
determination was reached which
would involve drastic action on the
part Of the American government. 1t
is regarded as possible that further
|deyelopme in the Venezuelan stu
alton may be forthcoming III few
days, but 1T is not believed here they
will add to Its seriousness.

BARON HAYAsHI,s OPINION.
Peace Negotiations Will Be Between
Japan and Russia Direct.

Peace Negotiations Will Be Between
Japan and Russia Direct.
London, March 29.-"When peace
negotiations commence it will be be-
tween Russia and Japan direct and
not through an Intermediary" was
Minister Hayashi's comment when
shown the dispatch from a Northern
European capital stating that M. Del
casse, the French foreign minister,
had been asked to act as an inter-
mediary to open peace negotiations.
Minister Hayashi said he attached no
Importance to the statement but be-
ieved that France was trying to in
Auence Russia to open negotiations
for peace.
$50 far as / know he added, mo
negotiations have been begun; but
when Russia is ready to make terms
Japan will be happy to consider
them.''
Minister Hayashi repeated his prev
ious statements that Japan is not no
ticing peace rumors but steadily pre-
pairing to prosecute the war to the
bitter end.
At Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's
residence it was stated that it would
be useless to ask Lord Lansdowne for
an expression of opinion at the pres
ent juncture, as he must decline to
give out any statement on the subject
of peace.

TEN YEARS IN PRISON
SENTENCE IMPOSED ON MRs. Gas
SIZE L. CHADWICK BY JUDGE
ROBERT w. TAYLER.

Cleveland, March 28.-Judge Tayler
Of the United States district court
has denied the motion of Mrs. Chad
wick's attorneys for a new trial and
sentenced the woman to ten years in
the state prison.
An appeal will be taken to the
United States circuit court of appeals.
Mrs Chadwick sHas convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon six.
For four of these counts sentence
of two years each was imposed. Upon
two counts a sentence of one year
each was pronounced. Attorney J. p.
Dawley, Of counsel for Mrs. Chad
wick, took exception TO the sentences
upon each count, except the first
count. The defense intends to make
the claim that the court cannot inn
pose a separate sentence for each
count and that the law applied to the
general charge instead of each Incl
dent of a general charge. The vari-
GUS counts of the indictment are con-
sidered by the defense to refer to de-
tails of the general offense. This and
other points of the Chadwick trial
will be contested.
The first step taken by the defense
will be to ask for a stay Of sentence
until the appeal is carried out. If the
present conviction and sentence is
sustained by the last court the other
six indictments will be dropped,
otherwise they will be used against
the woman.

OF 16 the voters have declared for
licensed saloons. For some time the
town has been afflicted with blind

change in policy was due to the fact
that several attempts to convict the

with success. The Illegal "joints"
were SO successful in eluding the law
and operated SO boldly that many who
have in the past voted for no license
