Willemstad, Island Of Curacao, Feb.
26.-According to advices received here
from Caracas, President Castro is great

cessful attempt by an unknown person
to poison Most Rev. Dr.sJuan Bastista
Castro, archbishop Of Venezuela, by put

a great sensation. The archbishop some
time ago issued an encyclical rebuking

President Castro IS next move in the

DEFENDS "C0RNER"
Sees in Joseph's Work in Egypt
Justification for Oil
Schemes. ... 80.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Feb. 2e.-By defending
Joseph s action in cornering the food
supply during the seven years of plenty
in Egypt and selling it to the people
in the seven years of famine, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr, in his Bible class yes
terday, made the first really public
defense, by intimation, of similar meth
DDS adopted by his father in building
up the Standard Oil monopoly. Middle.
aged and old men crowded the pews OF
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church when
Mr.. Rockefeller began to speak, there
being in all 201 members present
Mr. Rockefeller made the point that
Joseph s foresight and ability saved the
people of Egypt from starvation, being
unprecedented in all the great famlnes
of history. Furthermore, according to
the best commentators on the subject,
Joseph, in storing the food, exacted
only one-ffth of the regular crop from
each farmer, this one-ffth being really
only the tax each man had to pay to
|. support the government.
Joseph not only knew the famine was
coming, but all Egypt knew it. Any
one could have stored up the food IL
anticipation of it, but, said Mr.. Rookie
Teller, Joseph knew, as we all DO, thai
it is difficult to get the people to lool
ahead and provide for emergencies OF
this kind. It required a man Of 10
seph's foresight to do this, and JOSEPH
| did the people a great service thereby
In conclusion, Mr.. Rockefeller said
HLet us so live that we. can wall

SERIOUS FLAW FOUND
IN STATES NEW CODE
mo FUNDS FOR
!! INSTITUTIONS
Special Legislative Session May
Be Necessary to Provide
Running Expenses.

Members of the state board of con-
troll made a startling discovery today,
when they got their first look at the
new code Of laws.
Standing appropriations for the state
prison and reformatory, the. three in
sane hospitals, the Red Wing training
school and the institutions at Farl,
bault and Owatonna seem to be omitted
from the revision. These appropria-
tions have stood for years, and about
covered the running expenses OF the
institutions. If they have been omitted,
an extra session of the legislature must
be called at once, or the states penal,
correctional and charitable institutions
must go out of business. -
Members of the board Of control ap-
pealed at once to the governor and
attorney general. A conference. was
called, and met shortly after noon in
the governors office. Those present
were Governor johnson. Messrs. Gould.
Leavitt and Rosing Of the board of
control. George T. Simpson and G. s..
Jelley, assistants to the attorney gen
eral. Attorney General Young is absent
on a vacation.
| Means Extra Session. ,+...-.
The standing appropriations for state
departments for the university and
the normal schools are plainly cared
for in the code, but appropriations es.
timated at $5SO,OOO for the other in
stitutions have not been located If
they are omitted, it is colossal blum.

employees and thousands of inmates

supply the omission and adjourn, or II
may take up anything. It may even re
peal the code, and if it meets, plenty
Of sentiment in that line will be de
veloped. A number Of prominent attor
neys appealed to Governor johnson
Saturday for the extra session, urging
the danger the state runs by going un
der the code before the bar Of the stat
has had time to be familiar with it.

Collier said he expected to reimburse

waiting for the opportunity, which was
furnished last summer by the arrest OF

man, president Of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butchers Association
Of America, is now trying to work up
scheme Of cooperation between the
Farmers Alliance and the American
Federation of Labor to secure cheap

west, where the raw material is pro-
duced, and the Federation establish
1000 or more butcher shops in New
York city for the sale Of the finished
product, because, according to his cal
culations, the consumer can be fur
nished with his beef and other meats
at an average of cents pound less
than he is compelled to pay to the beef
trust.

it is not proposed to allow any other

than a certain amount of the stock of
the proposed company, the object being
to scatter it in small lots as much as
I possible, first, SO that the trust cannot
buy up control Of the company and
second, so that every stakeholder will
