PRESS AMERICAN CLAIMS
More Trouble Coming for President
Castro of Venezuela.
After Sending n Special Agent to In
vestigate This Government VIII
Ask for Settlement.

Washington, D. c. - Shortly after
Gen. Cipriano Castro resumes the pres
idency of Venezuela on July he will
find himself confronted by requests
from the United States for the settle
ment of American claims against his
government. For more than year
Castro has not been bothered by the
United States. Meantime Judge w. j.
Calhoun visited Venezuela and investi-
gated the American claims, and the
state department has been busily en-
gagged in reviewing the cases and put
ting them in condition to be pressed.
What seemed to be Indifference on
the part of the United States has been
only caution and the state department
will take up it's work where it was al
lowed to rest after the sending of
note to Castro by Secretary of State
Hay, which was practically an ultima-
tum.
A request will be made for arbitra-
ton of American claims, regardless of
what action the Venezuelan courts may
have taken or shall take in the future.
Representations covering practically
all the American claims against Ven
ezuela will doubtless be presented.

HARVARD WINS BOAT RACE.
Crimson Crew Defeated "OId Ell
Men by Two Lengths
and u Half.

New London, Conn. - Har-
wards varsity triumphed over Yale
Thursday before the greatest crowd
that ever gathered here on race day.
Coming after years Of defeat the VIC
tory was particularly sweet to the
crimson 1t was great Yale crew that
Harvard defeated, crew that had
broken all records in practice ana went
TO the stake boat a favorite. Thurs
day night Harvard's joy was uncon-
fined.
Harvard won, but Yale rowed race
that will live long in the annals of col
loge sports Not only from the start
until the last sixteenth of mile did
the shells cease to lap each other. The
men in the rival boats could see each
other for more than three miles and
a half, as first one coxswain and then
the other called upon his crew Har-
ward really got the lead when the
killing pace proved too much for TWO
of the Yale men. In the final squirt
Boulton and Moves were done, their
oars literally slipping away from them.
Here Harvard began to open up clear
water and in the last 10 or Is strokes
she pulled away.
Harvard won the race by less than
two lengths and half Her time
was 1902; Yale's 2S:11.

Washington, d. c. - The pure
food bill was agreed upon by the con-
ferees for the senate and house We'd
nesday and was reported to the senate
Just before adjournment. The house

and into this were grated many of
the important sections of the senate
attention by Senators McCumber and
Hepburn, extending over three ses-
sionS of congress.

mixture of like substances and does
not exclude harmless coloring or fla

BY the boreal pole where old Santa
Claus lives
In his cottage of taffy and glass,
In the summer his sleigh is well pack
ed away
And his reindeer are pastured on
grass
There the Saint reads his books and
the Saint smokes his pipe
AMI leisurely hours he enjoys;
But Of mornings he goes with his rakes
and his hoes
To the beautiful Garden of Toys
Oh, the Garden of Toys is well planted
with seeds
Of every plaything that's out;
Long rows Of tin whistles and horns
thick as thistles
And pop guns, beginning to sprout
The nlarble-plant, too, is just bringing
TO view
A crop of delight for the boys
AS the Saint showers the lot from his
watering pot
In The beautiful Garden of Toys.

HOW PLACE THE NEW STARS?

Now that Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritody are to become new state it is
necessary to place new star on the
flag. But how to place it is the prob
lem that must be solved within the
next few months. 1t has become evil
dent that the time has arrived for
definite settlement of the pattern Of

territories be admitted but the yasr

to be divided into separate common
wealths, each entitled to a star on the
flag. This has brought home to the
government officials the unsatisfactory
situation with regard to our national
emblem and it is probable that steps
will be taken to settle once for all the
matter of the flags shape and pat
tern.
1t will shock methodical Americans
to know that there is no very definite
authority to guide the makers of the
flag. On June IA, 1777, this resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That the flag of the Thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes,

alternate red and white, that the union
be thirteen stars. white on a blue field.
On January 10. 1894, it was enacted
that: From and after the 1st day of
May, 1895, the flag of the United States
be fifteen stripes, alternate red and
white. and that the union be fifteen
stars, white on blue field"
Nothing was said as to which way
the stripes should run or the stars be
placed.
AS states were added it became evil
dent that with each addition OF a stripe
the lines would become SO attenuated
as to be In time mere ribbons instead
OF broad bars. On April IA, 1918. there
fore, 1t was decided that from and
after July 4, the flag of the United
States be thirteen horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white, and that the
union have twenty stars, white on a
blue field"
1t was further enacted that: con the
admission of every new state into the
Union one star be added to the union
OF the flag and that such addition shall
take effect on the 4th day Of July next
succeeding such admission
Nothing has ever been settled as to
the shape in which the stars are to be
placed. The flags of the United States

1t has been customary for the secre-
tary of the navy and the secretary of
war to get together and arrange how
the flag shall be made. This, it is de-
clared, is not sufficiently dignif1ed for
the American nation. 1t is contended
that In a matter so momentous the ma
ton should be consulted, and with the
necessity for arranging a place for the
new star there has arisen growing
sentiment in favor of an appeal to the
people for a consensus Of opinion, to be
followed by special discussion in con-

approval of the President
