TRYING To SHIFT
VENEZUELE'S
DEBTS
esStru Would Compel Foreign In

tro's reputation for cunning will be en-
hanced by the scheme which has just
come to light 10 force the French
Gable Co. and the New York and Ber-
mudez CAsphalt) Co. to pay half the
claims assessed against Venezuela by
the Mixed Commission.
The claims amount to 10000, 900
bOlivars-about $4,000, 600. One Of
the problems that Castro left Vice
President Gomez TO struggle with was
that Of collecting one-hah of these
claims, or about s., 900, 600 each from
the cable company and the asphalt
company. Castro proposes to divide
the total awards equally among what
he calls 'the four parties to the revo-
luton" namely, the Venezuelan gov
eTnment, the Venezuelan revolution
lists, the French Cable Co., and the
New York and Bermudez Co.
The remarkable character Of this
proposition is shown by the fact that
nearly all the claims that Castro asks
the cable and asphalt companies to
divide with him arose from breaches
Of contract and similar causes uncon-
nected with revolutionary disturb
ances. The largest allowance was for
a little over 81 600, 900 in favor Of a
Belgian company which sold the Cara
cas- water works TO the government,
but has never been paid. Another
claim, allowed TO Mexican citizens,

that not until he dropped all his money,

The arrest and expose of the psychic

Mrs. Graham. it is alleged succeeded
in selling to KruIisch one of her

Finally Mrs. Graham suggested that

schools throughout the state will re-
ceive their due in proportion.
For paying the 1905 taxes, the rail-

ANSWERS IN COURT
Underlying Companies in Chicago
Traction Deal Claim Consoli.
dated Belongs to Them.
Forced to Settle
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April THE Union Trac-
ton company filed in the federal court
yesterday an answer to the bill of its
underlying companies attacking the
Consolidated Traction company. This
is the suit i'll which the financial meth
ods of the late Charles T. Yerkes are
attacked by the underlying companies,
and the plea made that the Consol-
idated company really belongs to them
The complaint of the underlying COM
panies in their bill to which this Is
the answer was mainly that the Con-
solidated company was built by the
credit and with the cash of the north
and west Chicago companies, at the
time Mr.. Yerkes had control of them,
and the property, instead of being
taken by him should have been turned
over to them.
The answer in effect saws that so
far as the Union Traction company
knows the financial methods of Charles
T. Yerkes were correct.
Ask Plaintiffs to Prove
AS to the charge that Yerkes had
an interest in the outlying companies
which afterward formed the Consol-
idated company, the answer says the
Union Traction company has no
knowledge, and asks the complainants
to procure their proof
AS to the charge that Yerkes' in
terest IN these outlying companies was
represented afterward by his stock in
the Consolidated, the answer says the
Union Traction has no knowledge, and
asks the complainants to produce their
proof.
The Union Traction admits that it
gave Yerkes bonds of the Consolidated
in exchange for his stock in the latter
company at the rate of $45 in bonds to
$100 in stock but says it was necessary
for it to get control of the property
and it was protecting the stockholders
in the underlying companies when it
did it.
1t denies it entered into the trade.
with Yerkes whereby it got control of
the underlying companies and formed
the Union Traction company over
night. The claim is made the matter
WAS investigated thoroughly and
Yerkes was forced to make good doubt
full securities amounting to 81 1,563, 200

Chicago Man Wagers Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars That for One
Year He viii Not Even Tell

BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO0, April 7.-Prof. Adolph
Gluck is to tell the truth year on a
wager of $4,000. The agreement will be
entered in today with Rudolph Jones,
a nelghbor, and Prof. Gluck's property
will be staked as the issue of his ad
herence to the plain, skeletonized, color
less truth.
Prof. Gluck holds the degree of doctor
of philosophy from the University of
Lemberg, Gaatlea AS he expresses 1t,
ne is to demonstrate empirically what
he has long held to be nationally true,
namely: That long continued mem
dacity will in. time lead a man ito a
point of sad safety where he will
find it more pleasing to leave the trim
mings off his conversation and reduce
1t to the scriptural yea, yea, and nay,
nay"
Prof. Gluck will undertake not only
to adhere to the truth during the year,
but he will enter into an ascetic life,
which would have done credit to a
mlddle-age adept.
Bound to Experiment
In the event of Jones' refusal to sign
the articles of agreement today Prof.
Gluck makes the following announce
ment to the public
L am Wllllng TO give demonstration
of the philosophy which I have been
teaching for years and l am willing to
live in accordance with this philosophy
for one year on a wager of $4,000. !
will agree during that time not to utter
a single falsehood, to eat nothing but
raw, uncooked foods, to fast thirty-six
continuous hours each week and to
forego pleasures of every description.
Amy person making this wager with me
may take any means he chooses of
satisfying himself that 1 keep my
agreement, even to the extent of plac-
ing a watch over me.
"All PHILOSOPHERS which have been
developed in the history Of the world
have amounted to nothing, because
there has been no demonstration of
their use or their soundness. Before
beginning 1 will sign an agreement to
deed over all my property If a single
violation of my pledge is found"
