lean Asphalt company. The action of
the court brings the asphalt dispute to
the critical point, for it is now incum-
bent upon the government here to make
the next move.
The asphalt company last summer
made strong appeal to the staet de-
partment here for aid, asserting that it
had been denied justice by the Venezu
elan government The president re-
quested Attorney General Moody to re-
port whether there had been such a
miscarriage of justice as would warrant
a formal protest.
It is believed that the opinion, which
will soon be mmade public, is to the
effect that the asphalt company has not
been fairly treated, not only according
to the principles Of English law, but
even taken as basis the ordinary We
nezuelan legal practice.

rounded by his family, General Lew
Wallace, author Of "Ben Hur,"- one
time minister to Turkey and veteran Of

his home in this city last night, aged
70 years. -
The health Of General Wallace had
been waning for several years, and for
months it was generally known that
he could not long survive.

with his extreme age, made more diff
cult his fight against death. But his
rugged constitution and remarkable vi
taity were responsible for prolonglng
his life several months.
The deathbed scene was one Of calm
ness. Beside his physician, only his
wife, his son, Henry Wallace Of Indian
apolis, and Mrs. Wallace were present.
Two grandchildren, altho in the house,
were not admitted to the room.
When told by his physician that he

expressions of cheer to his grief-strick-

said: 81 am ready to meet my maker,'

Lewis Wallace's life was one of great
activity. Born in Brookville, Ind, in 1927,
the son of Governor David wallace, he
early began life's struggle for himself.
What education he received was the result
of his own efforts. He began the study of
law, but interrupted his studies to enter
the Mexican war as second lieutenant of
an Indiana company. Afterward he re-
suned the study Of law and settled for
practice at Covington, but later moved to
Charlottesville, which he made his home
until the time of his death. He was for
four years in the state senate. In 1852 he
married Susan Arnold Elston.
At the outbreak of the civil war he was
made adjltant general Of Indiana. Soon
after he became colonel of the Eleventh
Indiana volunteers serving in West Vir-
ginia. Sept. 3, 1861, he became brigadier
general Of volunteers. He commanded q
division at the battle Of Fort Donelson
and, as g. major general, he commanded

in high favor with both emperor and
czar The messenger bore also letter
to Duke George, IN which the emperor
instructed him to give the newspapers
to the czar when opportunity offered.

pers he was terribly excited and shaken.
