COLONEL BEURy
Who Fought Molly Maguires Left
Large Estate.

Huntington, w. Va, March 24.-The
estate of the late Colonel John l.,
Buery the largest coal operator of the
new river field, is being settled and
today the court confirmed two sales of
coal lands, the first $500 acre tract
in Fayette county, which brought
$450,O00 and tie second, 1000 acres in
the. same county, which brought $780,
900. Both were cash sales and were
confirmed b. the court today. This
was the highest price per acre ever
paid in this state for undeveloped coal
land, and the largest cash sales in its
history. Both tracts were purchased
by the Berwins, capitalists of Phila'
delphia.
Col Beury came to the new river
field over 20 years ago, from Pennsyl-
vania. He was as fearless as lion,
and during he Molly Mcguire trou-
bles here, he was shot several times.
At one time, while he was asleep, he
was attacked by three members of the
sopiety, which had condemned him to
death, and in the fight that followed
he lost an eye.

VENEZUELAN PROBLEM SERIOUS
President Castf0's Refusal to Submit American
Claims to Arbitration Causes Some Anxiety.
Subject Considered at Cabinet Meeting
NOT THOUGHT WORTH WHILE TO MAKE WAR

or seizure of ports in Venezuela This
is by the award of The Hague tribu-
nal. The award gave the customs re-
ceipts of La Guira and Porto CabellO
to the settlement of the claims of for
eign powers. Moreover, the state de-
partment has never authentically es-
tablished the fact that the claims of
the New York and Bermudez asphalt
company against Venezuela has COM
plete justice on its side. The govern
ment asked only for a fair considera-
tion of the matter. But should the
United States send warships to awe
Castro this would mean that the ma
ton absolutely and unqualifiedly in
dorse the claim of private corpora
ton, holding concessions in Venezuela.
the equity in which has never been
definitely settled.
According TO Venezuelan sources,
President Castros position is proper,
and will be so shown before long. The
point he makes, it is said, is that SO
long as court proceeding is progress
ing, he cannot terminate such action
arbitrarily and send the case to arbi-
tration.
The matter must continue to its
proper legal conclusion, says Castro,
and then review by the United
States will meet with no objection.
According TO the same unofficial in
formation, the asphalt trust obtained
concessions from Venezuela and oper-
ated only such grants as brought it the
largest returns. Provisions relating
to river improvements and the ex-
plotting of other concessions were dis
regarded and Castro found his only re-
course was the step he has taken to
annul the concession. The contract
has run 20 years and has three more
to go. He realizes that If the trust
were permitted to continue uninter-
rupted it would squeeze out all 1t could
and then "yamoose" without any loss.
This he is determined to prevent, if
possible, and to this end has instituted
the suit in the high federal court for
annulment of the contract.
Further than this breach of con-
tract Castro has instituted suit in the
court of first instance, claiming dam
ages Of $11,000,000 from the trust "for
instigating, organizing and maintain
ing the revolution of Mansuea Ma
toz." The Venezuelan government
claims it has strong evidence that tho
trust was back of that revolution In
an endeavor to break its existing con-
tract. 2aA ---=

Washington, D. c.. March 24.-The
refusal OF President Castro, of Ven
ezuela to grant the demands of the
United States government that he sub
NIT to arbitration the American claims
that have been pending against the
country for several years has present.
ed a serious problem to the president.
The cabinet considered it with all
seriousness today. Secretary of War
Taft, who to all intents and purposes,
is acting secretary of state, remained
long after the other members Of the
official family had departed.
He admitted that the subject was a
grave one but said he had nothing to
make public at this time. . .,..
One subject discussed by the cabinet
was whether or not this government
should make naval demonstration off
the Venezuelan coast.
Another perpleXing problem is
whether =. can lawfully sieze or block
ade customs ports in Venezuela which,
under the arbitral award of The Hague
tribunal, have been declared to be In
ternational property for the settle
ment of foreign claims.
A big demonstration can be made If
it is deemed advisable.
Despite the strained situation there
was a distinct feeling among high gov
ernment officials, just after the cabinet
meeting that we will not make war on
Venezuela as a result of Castros de-
fiance.
The reason generally given is that
the government does not regard it as
worth while" and further that it
would be exceedingly difficult to ac-
complish any more toward the settle
ment of the existing disputes by the
use of force than has been accomplish
ed by diplomacy.
Castro has been giving so much
trouble for so long a time that the
administration has become used to
these 'crises." 1t is admitted, though,
that the breaking point has never been
reached more closely than now. If
President Castro gives Minister Bowen
his passports he would be calling on
this government to declare war. But
the procedure would not be extraor-
binary for him. Once before he broke
off negotiations just as Minister Bow
en- was in the midst of deliberations
with him on this same matter. AT
that time he left Caracas.
In one way the hands of this gov
ernment are tied against the blockade

Cured at the brewery Thursday eve
ming, the matter was kept quiet until
this, Friday, evening and as yet the
police have not been notified, although
there is danger that Kuefer may die.
AS far as can be learned, just when
Kuefer was leaving the brewery he
went into the engine room and found
Snyder apparently in an intoxicated
condition. He ordered him out, when
Snyder made an attack upon him,
knocking him down and jumping upon
him with great fury. He was rendered
unconscious.
Frank Kuefer came to his fathers
assistance and was also foored by a
blow from Snyder, who seemed to be

MYSTERIOUS ATTACK ON
MASSILLON BREWMASTER
Frederick Kuefer Assaulted For Some Unknown
Reason by Engineer Snyder-His Son Also
Wounded While Defending Him.

His leg was broken and he has an ugly
cash on his head. besides being bruis-
ed and battered. His condition Is dan
'gerous. For some reason the matter
has been kept from the police, and no
complaint is filed.r The cause of the
attack is a mystery and cannot be ac-
counted for except on the theory that
Snyder was insane from drinking.
He was not badly intoxicated, as was
shown by his strength and activity
shown in his assault. So far as known
the men had not been enemies.

Copenhagen, March 25.-One of the
best known Swedish correspondents in
a dispatch telegraphed here late last
night from st. Petersburg stating that
he has been assured upon the author
ity of a member of the Russian min
istry that Russia hopes TO find way
out of her difficulties by involving
other powers in the complications that
are sure to arise out of the disregard
of the zone OF war" by both of the
belligerents in Manchuria. In doing
so Russia believes that she cannot
fare worse than she would if she con-
sented to the peace terms that Japan
would propose and would be in a posi-
tion to benefit by any curb that might
be placed upon the mikado by the
world powers.

MRS. CHADWICK
Tells Only a Small Part
of Her Financial
Transactions.
BANKRUPTCY HEARING

Cleveland, Ohio March 24.-The
hearing in the bankruptcy proceedings
brought against Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick in the federal court was resumed
this afternoon before Referee Rem.
ington. Mrs. Chadwick was on the
stand to pass upon the validity of
claims of her creditors, She appeared
in good health. Some sensations
were expected in her testimony and
the court room was crowded.
Attorney Nossman, for Receiver
Loeser, said to Mrs. Chadwick: "We
have learned that you are indebted
to various persons in sums aggregat-
ing about $2,000,000, but the trustee
has been able to locate assets amount.
ing to about 100000. We want your
assistance in locating the balance"
Mrs. Chadwick smiled at this and
promised to assist the federal auth.
critics now that her trial is over.
She asked time however until she
could get some important papers now
"out of town" With these she said
she could help the trustees find assets
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars" She said she had obtained cash
and credits not exceeding $750,000 in
all. She said she was indebted to
Banker Herbert b. Newton, of Boston,
in the sum of $4,000 which she had
received from him in cash, the bal,
ance being paid her in notes on which
she raised $4,000. The amount OF
the bonus she engaged to pay Newton
she said was the balance of his claim,
$4,000. 8
She admitted she was in debt to
"Mr-Friend, Pittsburg millionaire,
but | do not know to what amount"
Later she said she borrowed $4,000
from Friend, giving him financial
papers amounting to S150,000 and
some jewelry amounting from 100000
to $4,000. Friend arranged another
loan for her she said which she still
owed. The jewelry she later ex-
planned was collateral for her note
as security for this second mentioned
loan. These were the only loans still
remaining unpaid in Pittsburg, she
said, the total being $225,000..
! j. w. Friend, a millionaire steel
man, of Pittsburg has been mentioned
in connection with the Chadwick case
as a creditor to the extent of 100000.
Mrs. Chadwick said Charles H.
Stewart, a former Cleveland banker
owed her $5S,00O She said Henry
Wurst of Elyria, had jewelry belong
ing to her and that other jewelry
valued at $4,000 had been given to
Ludwig Niessen, a New York broker
as security for a $4,000 note. In
reply to the question, she said. 81
i could mention a debt of large sum
due me, but don't wish to as the
publicity might reflect on the officers
.of certain bank and perhaps bring
on a run"
She said jewelry worth between
s15000O and 100000 partly paid for by
her is now held by Wilfers Bros.
Btussels, Belgium.
