CHARGED WITH STEALING.

A case of lively interest has been
on trial in Judge Sweney's court this
afternoon since two O'Clock.
A Mrs. McCabe. who has resid-
ed near Palisade for number of
years and is wildly known in this sec
tion was arrested a few days ago on
the charge of stealing nine boxes
of fine fruit from the packing house
of Frank Burger tn big fruit grower
at Palisade. This afternoon she was
arraigned before the judge for a pre-
liminary hearing.
The complaint was sworn to by
Mrs. Berger, her son and one or two
of the other members of the Berger
family.
According to the evidence of the
prosecution it seems that Mrs. Nc
Cabe and her sons deliberately drove
to the packing house of Mr.. Berger
one day and loaded on nine boxes
of fine peaches. Mrs. Berger OBJ
jected and It was stated that the fruit
had been prepared for shipment but
Mrs. McCabe claimed that Mr.. Berg
er was in debt to her and took the
fruit and proceeded home in spite
of the protests of the family.
According to the testimony of Mrs
McCabe, who was on the stand an
hour or more this afternoon she and
her boys drove to the packing house
and told the men there that Mr.. Berg
er owed her a certain amount and
that she desired to secure some peach
es in settlement of the account. She
claims that no OBJECTION was made
at the packing house to her taking
the fruit and after loading the nine
boxes she drove up to the Berger
home and going in told Mrs. Berger
that she had taken nine boxes of
peaches, that Mr.. Berger owed her
$3.50 and wanted to know II she had
any objections to her taking the fruit
on account. She declares that Mrs.
Berger told her that il would be all
right as far as she knew. Mrs. Nc
Cabe then returned to the wagon and
she and her sons drove away.
There are quite a number of wit
nesses on each side and the greater
part of the afternoon will be taken
up in examining these witnesses.
Attorney Coles is directing the prose-
cution while Attorney William Weis-
er is defending Mrs. MeCabe.
During the time that the defend
ant was on the stand she made things
I interesting by her impetuous and in
sistant manner of testifying. She
certainly kept the court and the at
Etorneys wide awake, and the repri-
mands frequently administered by the
court and the attorneys had but lit
! tie effect upon her. Her evidence was
somewhat disjointed.
/ Owing TO the prominence of the
/ complaining witnesses and the cir
cumstances of the alleged crime the
case is attracting much attention.

Contractors Without Redress

The contractors say that should the
compact prove irksone at any time to
the union, they could ask the interra-
tional union to get busy annuling
things. while the contractors would
have no redress.
When asked about what action the
union would take toward changing the
agreement, Chairman William McGann
said he could not tell until meeting
had been held.
William Hughes, chairman of the COM
mittee of the master bricklayers, who
helped draw up the agreement made a
like reply He did not think, however
that there would be any radical changes
made in the agreement for a year.

From Venezuela.
VIEWS ON THE SITUlTI0N

VIEWS ON THE SITUlTI0N

BOSTON. March 30.-Robert NJ. Morse.
lawyer of Boston, has just returned
from vacation trip to Venezuela, where
he was a guest of Secretary of State
Ybarra, who married Miss Russell, OF
Boston. Mr. Morse says Castro is right
He adds:
The President believes his country
has some rights, and is doing his best
! to extricate it from difficulties not OF
his country's seeking. He seems patriotic
and DESTROYS of promoting Venezuelan
interests for Venezuela.
There is not any popular feeling re-
garding the Monroe Doctrine one way
or the other. Nor did I find any belief
| that there was TO be any serious trouble
with this country. A lot Of very silly
stories of American invasions have been
circulated among other tales, placing the
| President in ludicrous attitude. This Is
| harmful
| The feeling among VeneZuelans every
where was that our Government has
gone far out of its way in attempting &c
| back up certain private interests which
are not very worthy, perhaps This
asphalt concern is not spoken of favora-
| bly, and ii is the general feeling that oui
Government is not justified in interfering
with the action of the Venezuelan cour'
| in dealing with an essentially FeneZue-
Ian case. President Castro had very
friendly talk with us, and expressed his
desire to be friendly to the Americans
! He said there was no quarrel so far az
his country was concerned that woult
make arbitration necessary"
A member Of the Morse party asserted
vehemently that Minister Bowen wa:
not possessed of the tact requisite Il
dealing with an easily exctable nation
President had decided to send a success
sor there.

pact under which all disputes are 10
be settled by a committee OF maser
bricklayers and union men. This shuts
out the builders, and in fact, any con-
tractor who is outside of the Master
Brickiayers' Association.
THE reason why We want this zone,
said one of the officers of the Master
builders Association, is because the
contract takes the settlement o. trou-
HE out of the hands of the courts. AS
things now stand one has TO violate the
contract to take case into court Inls
is a condition not to be regarded nght-
/ ly"
Some contractors also assert that the

! the union men have bound up the con
| tractors. but not themselves This as
| sertion refers to that section OF th'
