FRANCE TO ASK
AMERICA AID

PARIS, March 16.-The French Cable
Company has received a dispatch from
Manager Brun at Caracas saying that
judgment annulling the conpany's
concession is expected on March 20.
He does not mention any seizure or
cutting of cables.
The semi-offlcial dispatch from Car
acas says the court has decided that
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
Company was the accomplice of Cen
eral Matos in carrying on the recent
revolution, and that therefore the selz-
ure of its property was justified
The dispatch will come before the
Council of Ministers tomorrow in con-
nection with the general consideration
of the attitude of Venezuela toward
the French Cable Company and other
fol eign concerns. The company con-
siders the decision relative to the as
phalt company as having been inspired
by the same animosity leading to the
action against the cable company.
The indications are that the meeting
of the Council tomorrow will be ac-
oompanied by some exchanges of views
between the Governments in Paris and
Washington.

Special Dispatch to Tn. Cali.


OMAHA, March ia maniac, mo-
tor car and live trolley wire were the
principals in an exciting drama on
South Twenty-f fourth street to-day. The

car barn for some time, suddenly be-
came violent, and, eluding all attemps
to restrain him, ran outside to where
several cars were lined up on the track.

ed on the motor power to it's full ex-
tent.
The car shot forward down the street.
After going short distance, however.
1t ran on ''Y," and, shooting off the
end of the track, sank into the soft
mud of an unpaved street. The car
barn employees then succeeded in tax
ing the maniac off the motor after a
hard tussle, in which several of them
received severe bruises.
Breaking from them with a shrek,
the fellow rushed back to the barn. All
attempts to restrain him failed. The
police were called in and when he found
himself pursued by officers he climbed
tc the top of one of the cars. where he
grappled with an imaginary enemy.
Suddenly he seized a trolley pole with
one hand and, reaching up, laid hold of
live wire with the other.
The shock he received stretched him
out unconscious. At first it was be-
lieved he was dead, but he soon rallied
and was starting out on a new ram
page when he was overpowered and ta-
ken to the police station. There he be-
haved more quietly and answered ques-
tions in reasonable manner. He gave
his name as Edward Mallett and his
home as Vincennes, Ind. He is about
80 years of age.

serious problem to the young men of

as a huge joke, but it is becoming

of high school boys was held to-day
at which it was suggested that the
boys issue a mandate against the use
of icecream and soda by the girls.
Not only schoolboys but many we'll
