Although the claim has been on hle

a year and the secretary was familiar
IN a general way with its salient fea-
lures, he desired 10 be put in posses
sion Of other facts. and so he summon
ed 10 Washington some of the repre-
sentatives Of the company affected.
George Washington C~ritchfield, the
original promoter; II. :. Rokeby, pres

zuela company, and II. Floyd Clarke.
attorney for the corporation, appeared
at the state department and explained
to Secretary Root at great length the
details of the ease.
From their narrative it appeared
that several years ago. when Castro
was dictator of Venezuela. C|ritchticld
purchased an asphalt mine in the in
terror. 1t was necessary in order to
market the asphalt that Il tramway he
constructed to the coast. Critcifield
secured from Castro formal pcrlnis-
sion for the construction Of this tram
way and also the right TO export The
asphalt free Of any export duty.
About a year and a half ago, the
company asserts, the Venezuelan gov
eminent in violation of this contract
began to impose export duties on the
asphalt and Increased the tax to Il
point that made it impossible to opcr-
ate the mine %profftably. Consequently
after vainly appealing to President
Castro to adhere to his original agree
ment the United States and Venezuelan
company. which operated the mine and
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 case,

rather tough looking men and deposit
ed in Il train which was just starting

The station master objected to hay

was in ana krItp's companions there
fore ducked the helpless nan under II
water faucet which partly revived him.
one of the many mysteries in the
case is the question of who furnished
the cash bail for Krup and who en-
ployed counsel for Him.
Abe Levy. who was retained as coun-
sci for Krup, threw little light upon his
disappearance.
"Will you tell who put up the mon
cyl" Mr., Levy was pointedly asked.
~ absolutely refuse to say" was the
reply.
George Simpson, Il member of the
Lew d Unger firm and the Il who
actually produced the cash, was asked
where he got it.
II got it out of my own pocket said
Mr.. Simpson naively.
Then You will lose the money!"
Il will lose the money" said Mr..
! Simpson without the shadow of a smile.
When Mr.. Levy heard that he said it
was one Of Mr.. simpsons witticisms.
Five more hoaters who were under
bail have joined Krup in his fight, and
| their bonds have been forfeited. The
i've men were indicted by the grand
Jury for election frauds.
