Will Meet the Trust.

Stlllwater.--Thes state board Of con
troll and Warden Wolf.r of the peni-
Tertiary are ready to meet the compe-
tlt:on of the binding Irvine trust,
which is about to start a fax Irvine
plant in st. Paul, and run the prison
Irvine plant out of business by under.
selling it in the state.
If the trust plant cuts into the mar
ket for prison Irvine, the state will
carry the war outside, and force the
trust to meet competition in the sur
rounding states.
Under the present law, the prison
authorities may go outside the state
to sell any Of the products left on hand
after July /. That is late in the dav
to sell Irvine, but if the state has anv
trouble next season in disposing of it's
output, the legislature will be asked
to change the law so the state can 90
outside and sell the prison output any
time after May /. That would give
the trust some trouble, The present
plan is to break the market only in
Minnesota, in order to kill off the
prison plant. The trust is not looking
for competition all over the northwest.

VENEZUELA IS GETTING UGLY
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH
FRANCE ARE SEVERED.
The Situation is Considered Quite
Grave. America in Sympa-
thy with France.

Washington, Jan: 13.-The state de-
partment has been advised that cable
communication with Venezuela has
been interrupted.
All diplomatic relations between
Venezuela and France are broken.
There is hint of punitive measures
on the part of France, and the situa-
ton is regarded officially as very up:
pleasant. with POSSIBILITIES of serious
consequences.
This situation will involve the early
departure from Venezuela of M. Taig-
ny, the French representative. there,
and from France of NJ. Marlborough,
the venezuelan agent at Paris. 4. III
The officials here are awaiting the
turn of events with keen interest, al
though it. is expressly stated that
definite news regarding the next step
that France will take is yet to be re-
ceived In the event that the request
is made by France. permission will be
cabled to Minister Russell to look after
French interests.
Relations between President Castro
ana Minister Russell are not all that
could be desired. The negotiations
regarding the New York and Bermu-
dec Asphalt company's claim have
failed, but Secretary Root is deter
mined to exhaust every method of
diplomatic procedure. and has directed
Minister Russell to take up the Critch-
field claim, which is without complica-
tions and involves no charge on the
part of President Castro that the COM
pany engaged in abetting revolution.
The company invested about 5000, 900
to railroad and asphalt plant, under
agreement that the territory was to be
exempt from all except few special
taxes. It is charged that about a
year ago President Castro imposed a
prohibitory tax on the company, in
violation of the agreement
The Critchtield claim is regarded by
the Washington government as fair
claim and Mr.: Russell will devote his
best endeavors to having it immedi-
ately and satisfactorily settled.
