CASTRO'S NIGHT RAID
Caracas Newspaper Men Made
 Political Prisoners.
IMPRENTA COLON COMPANY HELD UP
President fingered by Editorials and Statement That Roosevelt ls . Great Man Who Correctly In-
 terprets Monroe Doctrine.


 terprets Monroe Doctrine.
 CARACAS, May 26.--It is reported here that the police of Caracas recently raided at night the offices of Ell Prego- nero, the oldest and largest newspaper in Venezuela. At the moment of the ar rival of the police two of the editorial writers were in the building attending to the getting up of the paper. They were placed under arrest and are now political prisoners.
 On the following morning another of the editorial staff was found and plac- ed under arrest also. The order against Fl Pregonero included the large print ing establishment which prints the pa per and which was also closed. This is called Imprenta Colon. and in it are printed eight other newspapers.
 This has placed the eight other news papers in an embarrassing position, as they will now have to look for new quarters where they can have their pa fpers printed. Practically every Cara cas newspaper with the exception of Ell Constitutional. the government or gan. was printed by the closed house.
 The reason for the order from Presl- dent Castro'is said in Caracas to be an editorial published on the day of the suspension and also the publishing of letter from a New York correspond ent. Senor Antonio Escobar. venezu- elan resident there. The editorial was written by Senor Eloy Gonzalez, now ,n jail. and is to the effect that interna- tional war is a necessary way of set .tling disputes between nations. as our seiS Siz4i is not sufficiently advanced as yet for amicable adjustments. No allusion at all was made to the contro- versy between the United States and Venezuela, to President Castro. or to Venezuela at all The editorial treated the subject iS a general way.
 The other article which. it ls said, was disagreeable to President Castro, was one of series from the New York correspondent and was to the effect that Theodore Roosevelt is . great man and that the Monroe doctrine as inter- preted by him is correctly interpreted and that it is for the interests of the American republics.

The Stomachless Nan.

The stomach proper'has ceased to
be a serious problem to the surgeon.
He can invade and explore it with
impunity. He can even, If clrcum-
stances demand, relieve the owner
of it entirely and so arrange the
loose ends that the functions of nu-
triton are successfully maintained.
TO be sure, the patient can never
thereafter derive much pleasure
from his meals. He must restrict
himself to a rigid diet. But for all
the other affairs of life he may be
as competent as before. There are
today several stomachless men who
are earning their daily predigested
ration in occupations varying from
clerk to expressman.-McClure

A NEW WHISTLER STORY.

A new Whistler story is told by
friends Of Miss Pamela Smith, the
young American artist who has
made a reputation abroad by her
original work in color and black
ami white. Miss Smiths designs,
while they show uncommon imagl-
nation, are technically crude, and a
friend of hers who knew Whistler
was anxious to get his opinion Of
them. She took portfolio of Miss
Smiths Illustrations to the painter
and waited anXiously as Whistler
examined them.
He looked them over carefully
and remarked grufily, ''She can't
paint"
Then he went through them
again. And she can't draw"
A third time he looked through
the portfolio, pausing thoughtfully
over each sketch.

WILD DOGS OF INDIA.
They Ere Very Shy, Very Cunning and
Very Seldom Shot.

Mrs. Nora Gardner describes an
experience while hunting big game
in the central provinces of India as
follows: "We had been shooting for
some months and up to certain
date had had very good luck. Ii
gers and other beasts were all plenti-
full, and our bag was a good one.
Suddenly our luck changed. Blank
day followed blank day, not because
we had missed easy shots or had to
reproach ourselves for losing wound
ed beasts, but simply that we had
seen nothing in the shape of wild
animal to shoot Pachmark, the hot
weather station of these parts, was
just above us, SO my husband and |,
with a few servants and baggage
coolies, started to climb up the hill.
He and were riding little in
front when he drew my attention to
a number of kites and vultures cir
cling in the air just ahead. Here
this, Of course, meant carrion or a
diving beast of some kind, and we
sent on "A syce' to see what it was.
The man came creeping back on all
tours, Wild dog, sahib! Wild dogn
he said.
'My husband got his rifle as quick
" as possible. He crept forward
and suddenly came in the pack, max
ing off nearly 300 yards away. He
took a hurried shot at the last in the
pack and missed. The rest galloped
off to the right, the one he had aim
ed at going to the left. While we
were bemoaning our luck the 'syce'
touched my husband. Look, sahibl
He comes backn And, sure enough,
away to the right we saw the dog
going back to join the pack. How
he crossed the track without our see
inc him is a mystery, He was al
ready 200 yards Off My husband
made most brilliant shot and got
the dog just as IL was CROSSING lle
bank to the river.
"WiId dogs are not only very shy,
but very cunning, and very seldom
shot. They do an immense amount
of damage. As soon as pack takes
possession of a jungle everything
else leaves it. Even tiger will go
if he smells wild dog. This account
ed for our recent bad luck and the
little game we had seen lately. The
one We got was young dog, rather
like fox. but with longer legs and
body, thinner brush and rounder
ears. There were six in the pack,
and they were dcvouring young
buck they had just pulled down"

Whv Does the Earth Revolvc?

That the earth "do move" is a
fact that has been demonstrated in
a variety of ways, but exactly why it
does so is not so easy to explain.
The astronomers are not agreed
upon this question, and when doc
tors Disagree where are the com
mon people to look for explanations,
answers and solutions to such que
ries? One school of these star wise
men claim that the original initial
centrifugal force given the globe
was directed in a line slightly to one
side of the center, which would, OF
course, cause the great globe to ro-
tate on its axis, and by what Is
known as the claw of inertia it
would continue to so revolve at a
uniform rate of speed until arrested
by some outside forces" Others
claim that the motion of daily ro-
tation is a compound resultant OF
the general motion of the earth in
its orbit and the attraction of the

Horse Meat In Belgium.

The Belgians have long been ac-
customed TO horse meat as food, but
of late importations of the animals,
mainly from England, have shown
so many that were emaclated, weak
and obviously unfit for food that
the superior council of agriculture
has recommended that such importa-
tions shall cease or that broken
down horses, unfit for work, shall be
classified as cattle, in which case the
high duty will keep them out. The
measure has not yet been adopted,
however, owing to the difficulty in
finding a substitute for horse mea'.

which the poorer classes are able It

years ago. When the work is CON-

This year, the second and third

with storage water, and now the farm
ers are more determined than ever

Mrs Ann Murphy has brought suit
against her son-in-law. H. J. Duncan.
the .well-known druggist. to recover
the sum of $685., which she says is
due her for wages for three years and
thirteens' days services in the Dun
can family. Mrs. Murphy also seeks
to recover the sum of 1925, which
she claims to have LOANED Mr.. Duu-
can three years ago. Mrs. Murphy
recites in her complaint that at the
special solicitation of Mr.. Duncan she
entered his employ and rendered his
services which were reasonably worth
$25 month. Among the other things
which Mrs. Murphy states that she
was obliged to do while employ ID
Mr.. Duncan was cooking, ironing,
making and repairing clothing, chop
ping wood and housekeeping. . Tie
total amount which Mrs. Murphy
seeks to recover, including wages and
borrowed money, is 1868 SO. The suit
is sequeal to the proceedings insti

guilty in the Justice Court, and he,
