NEW YORK, May 2S.-A Herald

advantage of the fact that Saturday Is

general, he entered Venezuela at the
head of his army, President Castro pub
fishes proclamation entitled, IAN Of

tired from the active duties of the presi-
dency. His proclamation is taken to
mean that having exploited Venezuela to
the limit of it's possibilities he intends to
leave the country and retire to some
gay capital of the old world.

National theater at Bergen. and as early
as 1857 he had made a complete success
as a play writer.
He might never have been the rage
with his social plays" had not the lbsen
cult arose in England. He was ''studied'
and translated galore, and several OF his
plays, notably mora, or the Dolls
House" consideration of the new
woman" question, were produced in Lon
don and America.
Many Books Under Ban.
Ibsen may be said to have lived the life
of an ordinary member Of society so
far as outward conformity is concerned.
Since that time he lived, if not in open
rebellion, at least in open protest, against
the conventions of society and the state,
and many of his books are now under
the ban of the police in Germany as
inimical to the social order and the vel
fare of the state. His best plays are
the following:
Brand" "Peer Gynt," Emperor and
lars Of ;, Society" "A DoIrs House, >,
"The Wild Duck" .:Rosmersholm. DThe
Lady from the Sea" and ''Hedda Gabler."
Early Life Was Difficult.
Henrik Ibsen's father was rich mer-
chant of Norway, but the celebrated
Scandinavian descended from line of
The elder Ibsen failed in business when
Henrik was only s years old, and all the
boys dreams of a university education
and the career Of art were dispeled. He
was compelled to go to work as a drudge
in the shop of an apothecary in an OBJ
Scure town.
At 81 he went to Christiania and pub
lis NIrhi e.;
ure. He then managed to enter the uni
versity, and when he left it he wrote
play-''The Warriors Barrow"-which
was successfully produced in the Norweg-
;en capital. Through the influence of
Ole Bull, the violinist, he secured the
theater. He retired from the theatrical
business in 1862. On his seventieth
birthday he was personally congratulate
ed by King Oscar.
Died a Millionaire.
He died millionaire. On Victoria ter
race in Christiana he occupied a mag
nifcently furnished suite of rooms. the
walls of which are adorned by real gems
of art which were picked up here and
there during his many years of travel.
On entering his study, one was surprised
at finding it so small, and asked if it is
possible for a man to complete such
grand works IN Sucn narrow quarters.
At this Ibsen smiled and told you that
when he worked he. made use of the
whole suite of rooms. He did not com
pose sitting quietly at his desk, but wan
dered restlessly from room to room, let
ting every thought pass through his
mind a score of times before he COM
mitted it to paper. Thus his method of
work was truly Aristotelian.
Dr. Sigrid Ibsen, the son of Henrik
Ihsen. differs from the sons of other
great men principally in this, that the

Ibsen is destined to become one of Nor
ways greatest men. Last year he came
within enc vote of being chosen professor
Of sociology at the University of Chris
tiania by the Storthing. His failure was
due 20 his strong opposition TO the exist
ing government. DR.. Ibsen is married
to Eiornstierne Biornsen's daughter, a
strange and interesting union indeed

Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian poet and
dramatist, died at 2:30 o'clock this aft
ernoon. He was &c years old. He
had been seriously i'll at times for over
year.
The death of Ibsen was unexpected, al
though for the past year he had been
very weak and it was known that his
death was only question of time. He
was unconscious toward the end and
passed away peacefully. None of his
friends was allowed to see him during
his long Illness. the on;v persons admit
ted to his room beng the doctor, the
dramatist's wife and son.
The news of Ibsen's death made a
great impression in this city, where he
was much beloved.

Norwegian by birth (born in 1920, he
spent most of his time in Germany. Al
though nc did not write anything in Ger

The Russian oil sent to India is pro-

of the Caspian sea. From there il is
carried across Trans-Caucasia, some

the Black Sea, on tank cars. holding
ten tons each, ike those whlch Wer'
used in the pennsylvania oil fields over

At Batoum the oil is loaded On oil

across the Mediterranean, through tho

to wrest from Russia the predominance

costs OF transportation, and this must
