Washington, Sept, S,-The state de-
partment was Thursday placed In pos
session of the full text Of the recent
decision Of the Venezuelan court OF
last instance confirming the Judgment
of the same court sitting as a tribu-
nal of the first instance in the caseo OF
the Venezuelan government against
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company for the non-fulfllment Of
contract obligations by the asphalt
company The decision was trans
mitted through the Venezuelan lega-
ton here and laid before Acting Sec
rotary of State LOOMS by Senior N.
Goiticoa, Venezuelan charge de az
flares. The effect of the decision to
rescind the company's contract and
condemn 1t to pay the costs Of the suit
was cabled on the date on which rem
dered, August last The document
presented Thursday gives besides the
decision brief history Of the litiga-
tion and the evidence and argument
Of either side to the controversy.
When the suit was instituted a re-
ceiveY was placed In charge OF the
property and II 10 understood this ar
rangement continues. The case is
distinct from second suit brought BY
the government against the company
seeking damages on the charge that
the company instlgated revolution
airy movement.
The contract which the decision re-
sends was executed in 1883 and the
clause which was the cause of the suit
required the dredging Of the naviga-
BILE streams OF Bermudez by the COM
pany.
The fact that this dredging wasl not
done the court finds to have been es-
tabllshed, notwithstanding the show
ing to the contrary sought to be made
by the defendant company. The COM
pany in It's argument In the case sets
up the claim that its title to the
property was not based on the con-
tract In question. It alleges that tho
terms Of this contract were fulfilled.
however, and II they had not been the
the company was not limited by the
terms of the contract to any period
Of time In which its terms might be
complied with.
Finally, the company argued that
the stipulation to dredge rivers never
legally existed, and II It did was Gov
cred by an alternative proposition,
which was to construct railroad, and
that the alternative proposition had
been met. This argument is answered
by the court in this language:
1.-THE non-fulfllment Of the contract
on the part Of the company is fully
proved in these proceedings"

FIGHT WITH PAT GROVE.


Omaha, Neb., Sept 7.-During rum
ming fight between police officers and
man believed to be Pat Grove, the
alleged kidnaper of Eddie Cudahy, and
companion, Just before midnight
Wednesday night, Patrolman Albert
Jackson was shot through the leg and
the two men made their escape None
of the other officers were injured. A
large detail of officers was immedi-
ately sent to the spot TO try to locate
the fugitiyes.
The fight occurred on lower Six
teenth street, where the men were
discovered by Officer Jackson in sa-
loon.
Ever since Grove returned to Oma-
ha, several weeks ago, Chief Donahue
has had q force Of officers, most of
them in citizens clothing, seeking to
capture him. This task was extreme
ly difficult, because none Of the off,
GERS knew Grove, jackson being an
exception. It was learned by the po-
lice Tuesday that Grove was In Oma'
hA and extra efforts were made to To-
cate him. Jackson and Officer Leahy
were sent to lower Sixteenth street,
where Grove was believed to be-
About II o'clock Wednesday night
jackson saw a man whom he recog-
niSed as Grove with q companion In a
saloon at Sixteenth and Dcrcas
streets. He sent Leahy to a telephone
to secure additional officers, mean
while watching the man himself. The
men left the saloon just as a car car
rying additional officers came up. and
jackson started to follow them. See-
ing that they were being followed, the
two men opened fire on Jackson, emp
tying their revolvers, one bullet break
ing Jaekson's leg. The other officers
started in pursuit, joining in the fusil-
lade Of shots being sent after the fu-
gitives. The latter, however, made
good a temporary escape.
Half the police force was sent to the
district in which the shooting occurred
and we're put to work to locate and
arrest the pair. This they had not
been successful in doing up to mid
night.
