AS TO VENEZUELA.
SECRETARY ROOT INvESTicAT.
ING cRivcHFiELD CASE.
TESTIMONY OF The PROMOTERS
critehfield. Roeley. Attorney Clark
and Others Heard-What 10 Alleged
by the Owners Of the Asphalt
Mine Owners.

WASHINGTON-In his considera.
tion of the whole general question OF
the relations between America and
Venezuela with special reference to
the presentation of claims of Ameri.
can citizens against the government
of Venezuela which were not adjusted
by the Venezuela arbitration tribunals.
Secretary Root has reached the Critch.
field claim and Friday he devoted sew
eral hours to the subject.
George Washington Critchfield, the
original promoter: R. S. Rockey. pres
ident of the United States and Vene-
zuela company. and r. Floyd Clarke.
attorney for the corporation, appear
ed at the state department and ex-
planned to Secretary Root at great
length the details of the case. From
their narrative it appeared that sew
eral years ago, when Castro was die
tator of Ven Zuela, Critchfield pur-
chased an asphalt mine in the interior.
1t was necessary in order to market
the asphalt that tramway be con-
structed to the coast. Critchfield Sc
cured from Castro formal permission
for the construction of this tramway
and also the right to export the as
phalt free of any export duty. About
year and half ago. the company
asserts, the Venezuelan government,
in violation of this contract. began
to impose export duties on the asphalt
and increased the tax to a point that
made it impossible to operate the
mine profitably. Consequently. after
vainly appealing to President Castro
to adhere to his original agreement.
the United States and Venezuela COM
pany, which operated the mine and
the railroad. went out of business.
closed up the works and appealed to
the state department for redress.
Secretary Root listened with much
interest to the presentation of this
Ease. which he will make the basis of
fresh and strong instructions to Min
lister Russell.
Wilson Talks to Chemists.
Secretary Wilson of the department
Of agriculture Friday emphasized the
necessity of national pure food law
in an address before the annual con-
vention of the official chemists in ses-
sion here. He cOmplimented the
chemists on their accomplishment in
food adulteration. While
there are a few people. he said. who
do not want to know what they eat
is pure. and who may be importuning
congress not to pass a pure food law.
the secretary told the chemists he
was sure the great majority of the
American people were heartily in ia
vor of the purity of the market basket.
