IMPORTANT CLEW In The
HARRY ORCHARD CASE

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 25.-It is learned
that an important clew to the identity
of Harry Orchards alleged coconspir-
atOrs in the Frank Stuenenberg assassin
alton has been secured by Caldwell
officers in the form of letter written
by Orchard from Caldwell during Nov.
ember and returned to him frem the
eadd letter Office. The name of the
man to whom the letter is addressed is
suppressed by the officers. The letter
was sent to a town in Colorado, but
after remaining unclaimed for a GER
tain period. was sent to the dead letter
Office in Washington, and from there
returned to the wrlt-r
The contents of the letter have not
been made public. 1t is known to con-
tain, however, Orchards advice to a
olordao friend to come at once to Cald-
we'll.
Il have bunch of money" reads
the letter, 'and there is lots of money
in this job, with no chance of being
caught. "
1t is believed that while the man to
whom the letter was addressed did not
receive it, still he received word form
Orchard through another source, per-
haps through another letter, and came
to Caldwell in response to the latter s
advice The name of the man is there
fore being kept secret until he can be
located

FRANCE CAN NOW ACT
UNCLE SAM WILL NOT INTERFER
WITH VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.
French Ambassador Gets Assurances
of Fair Treatment as to Their Vio-
Iating the Monroe Doctrine-Where-
abouts of French War Ships a Sc
cret-Don't Like Castro's Note.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Convinced of
the sincerity of the assurances re-
ceived from France regarding her 10y
atty to the Monroe doctrine and all
that it involves, the Washington gov
eminent has given the Paris govern
ment a free hand in the execution of
the program for the solution of the
Venezuelan problem. The conferences
on this phase of the question occurred
some time ago, and M. JtSserand, the
French ambassador has final assur-
ances that the efforts of France to OBJ
charge d'affaires at Caracas will not
be interpreted at Washington as in
any way violative of the Monroe doc
trine.
The first move in the execution of
the French program may be expected
at any time, but on this point the
French government is observing the
strictest secresy, the orders to the
squadron going direct from Paris and
not through the embassy here. NJ.
Taigny, the retiring French charge
d'affaires, who, it is believed is new
at Curacao, will come to this country
on his way home, and on his arrival
at New York he will find an invita-
ton from the French ambassador at
Washington to spend several days
here in conference with M. Jusserand,
on whom the burden Of an important
phase of the Venezuelan negotiations
naturally falls, that he may have the
benefit of the facts about the situa-
ton. 1t is not unlikely that M. Taigny
will also see Secretary Root.
The whereabouts of the French
ships remains a mystery so far as the
officials of the state department and
French embassy are concerned, it is
said, 1t is assumed, however, that
istry of marine at Paris and are
awaiting an opportune moment as
their instructions may call for.
Great interest is felt in diplomatic
circles here about the exact nature of
a sentence found Objectionable in the
HoIS VI IlCSldSHI CdSIIO 10 vi. dlSny.
This sentence in substance referred
to the presentation by M. Taigny of a
note to the Venezuelan government
and announced the complete sever
ance of all relations until adequate
explanation was made of conduct
which was in effect described by
President Castro as not customary
among well hammered nations.

SPORTING NOTES.

Followers of the game of billiards
are still talking over the marvellous
victory of Willie Hoppe, the boy won

the 500 point match for the billiard
championship of the world at Paris
Kid Parker, the lightweight who is
to meet O'Keefe at the 8. A. A. G. at
Spokane, next month, wants a chance
at Joe CAM, the great little fighter
who defeated Sullivan at San Francis
co recently. Parker will challenge the
colored boy and hopes to get match
at Spokane. Cans has expressed a
willingness to meet some good man
there, and Eddie Quinn says the win
ner of this match between Parker
and O'Keefe will go either against
Fitzgerald or Cans. If the arrange
ments with the former are not salts

there for the fight.
