GETS HIGH APPOINTMENT
DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul Promoted BY
Venezuelans.

DIR. Jose de Jesus Paul. who. as the Vene-
zuelan representative before Referee Plum
ley. who arbitksted the French claims
against VenezTela. has been in this country
since January. is to be made president of
the high federal court of Venezuela, ac-
cording to an understanding here.
DIR. Paul was also special confidential
agent for President Castro. and prior to the
Bowen-Loomis case spent much of his time
in Washington asking government officials
TO Dust Mr.. Bowen from his position as
United States minister to Venezuela PresI-
dent Castro considers that DR. Paul did
excellent work before Mr.. Plumley, cutting
the claims from about 100000 to some
thing over 100000
Senior Arnai. the president OF the court
now, will give way to DIR. Paul and will
probably be given some other high position
in Venezuela. Arnal Is the one who first
made the decision annuling the concession
of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
Company. Later the whole court sustained
his decision. and Castro undoubtedly thinks
well enough of Arnal to give him a good
place. DR.. Paul was at one time vice pres
ident of the high federal court. His work
there was entirely satisfactory to President
Castro.

COUNTING THE MONEY.
It Will Probably Be Completed About
September Is.

The counting Of the money and securities
in the vaults OF the United States treasury,
due to the change in United States treas
urers. will be completed before September
10. 1t was stated today by Treasurer Treat.
Owing to the fact that many experts have
been employed this time the work has been
much facilitated. Eight years ago. when
Ellis H. Roberts came into Office as United
States treasurer. the count extended more
than seven months. 1t would probably
have been finished earlier. but the discovery
was made that one of the negro laborers
helping in the count had been stealing sill
yer dollars out Of bags containing 1000
each and substituting pieces Of lead Of
what ne believed was the same weight
This discovery forced the counting Of every
dollar In the huge silver vaults. This year
vault that had been tempered with eight
years ago has not been opened for business
since that time. and the seals Of the men
who did the counting then are still upon
the bags Instead Of counting this big
vault dollar for dollar the count was made
by weighing the bags containing 81. 600 each.
All the bonds, all the gold and all the
every dollar has been accounted for. One
or two OF the silver vaults have so far
been counted and the work Is now in
progress upon the others, and upon the
subsidiary silver and minor coin. When
the count Is concluded the force employed
will have handled 81. 26S. 100000 Of money
and bonds. with the probability. as 1t now
looks, that not a dollar will be missing any
where. After the count has been finished
Treasurer Treat will give to Ellis II. Rob-
erts, the retiring treasurer. a receipt cover
lag the amount turned over TO him.

IMMIGRATION RULES.
Letter to Agents in the Field Asking
Information.

The committee appointed by Secretary
Metcalf of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor to revise the present rules aad
regulations under which the immigration
laws and the Chinese exclusion laws are
administered today sent a letter to all on1-
GERS of the immigration bureau In the field
asking for an expression of opinion on each
of the rules now in operation. The COM
mittee consists of Lawrence o. Murray. as
sistant secretary: Edwin w. Sims. sollc-
itor OF the department. and Richard x.
Campbell Of the bureau Of immigration.
The letter to the immigration agents prac-
tically Is the first step taken by the COM
mission. The replies are expected to state
how each rule works. and If it is not ef-
fective, II it results in dissatisfaction TO
persons or agencies coming into contact
with the service. the nature of the COM
plant Is to be set forth clearly. Officers
in the field are invited also to make sug-
gestions as to the manner in which she
laws may be amended.
Most important of the steps proposed by
the commission are public hearings, at
which criticisms of the service may be
lodged. At these hearings railroad and
foreign governments or any persons having
relations with the immigration service may
voice their complaints. When the depart
ment revised the rules and regulations gov
erning the steamboat inspection service
criticisms were invited in this manner with
the result that the rules we're harmonic ed
as nearly as possible with the public de-
mands, and the laws are now enforced sat
isfactorily to all parties

PEACE TERMS COMMENT
JAPANESE JOURNAL SAYS THAT
COMPROMISE Is IMPOSSIBLE,

TOKYO. August 22.-The JiH IL COM
menting upon the proceedings at the Ports
mouth peace conference today says:
THE cession of the Island of Sakhalin
and the reimbursement of the cost Of the
war are the vital points Of our demands
and leave no room for any compromise.
The moderation and resonableness of these
demands will be admitted. even by France
Should the attempt to promote peace fail,
the responsibility will rest with Russia,
not with Japan. If the Russians refuse to
accept the proposed terms II will be ad-
visable for our delegates to withdraw and
tell them that the next meeting will be in
Tokyo
The Asahi says: THE war has won a
constitution for the Russian people,
1t declares that Japan is fighting the Rus
sian government and does not entertain any
III feeling toward the oppressed subjects
OF the Russian emperor. 1t expresses the
belief that all true Russians must hold
some appreciation for what Japan has ac-
complished for them.

Child Labor and the Law

Fron the Chicago Record Herald
owen r. Lovejoy. secretary of the ma
uohdl child labor committee, found occa-
Hlon AT The convention of the International
Association of Factory Inspectors at De-
trolt TO lament that there nowhere existed
suficiently effective public force to keep
complete watch OF the violation of child
labor laws and to prepare all the evidence
that Is required to convince legislat tors
whenever new laws are needed The stats
OF state factory inspectors do much but
nowhere are they equipped to do all that Is
necessary. Private enterprise he said.
must step In and give continual aid. There
~ no question that this statement is true.
III II had not been for the self-sacrincing
labor or private persons who felt the hor-
rors of the abuse of young children in fac
tories We would not have obtained on our
statute books even the laws we have today.
FOR much OF the progress that the future Is
10 show we must look TO private initiative.
indeed. we could look to no better force so
Iohg as We keep our government in such
oiean running order that private initiative
can secure results and not get blocked up
or sdetracked.
