similar case is recited concerning the taxes of Christine Collins, a widow living in Bisbee. and the amount due the county on this transaction k put at $3250.
 Paying Unlawful Interest.
 The report criticises tn, treasurer for having paid to some of the banks interest on expense fund warrants be- fore they had been presented to thc treasurer and refused payment for rant of funds" It is stated that the treasurer paid interest on these war rants at the rare of per cent and that the sum unIawfully paid as such interest amounts to $216.72, which it is recommended should be recovered to the treasury.
 Treasurer's Salary.
 On account of the very large per- centage of increase in the valuation of taxable property ordered by the Territorial Board of Equalization to be entered on the tax rolls for the year '05, Cochise county had an as- sessed valuation exceeding nine mill lion dollars, and reached the stand ing of special first class county. Un- der this classification various county officials were benefited thereby.
 Under Par. 2,61o, R. S. '01, the county treasurer claimed a salary up- on the basis of s2,500 per year. The question as to the time when the raise in salaries of county officials should be effected was referred by the District Attorney to the Attorney General for opinion. He decided the date to be the time of the fina equalization. which date was deter mined to be August g. '05.
 The county treasurer refused tC abide by this decision, claiming the increased salary should date from July l. '05 and finally from Jan. l '05. all of which increase he has re ceived by holding the same out o the county funds in his possession | and later filing his claims for salary which were allowed by the board O

supervisors Tn order to baIanCe the treasurer's accounts. In the mean time. however, the treasurer flied a suit in the district court for the re- COvery of she increased salary from Jan. 1st to July Ist, '05, and he in- [ormed me that he had agreed with Doan, that if the suit went against him, he would return the amount sued for to the board of supervisors for deposit in the county treasury. This is a very unusual method of col lecting claim against the county. The retention of this money is un- lawful and the county treasurer should be required immediately to refund to the county the full increase in salary unlawfully obtained from January to August 23rd, '05, amount ing to the sum of $l6O.43.

SOME LIGHT PUT ON
VENEZUELA METHODS

Special to The Citizen
New York, Jan. 9.--It is now likely
that within very short time
congress will consider the mat
ter of the relations between the Unit
ed States and Venezuela, one of the
principal subjects involved being the
siezure by President Castro of the
property of the New York & Bermu-
de2 (Asphalt) company, and the sub
sequent exploitation of this property
for the joint benefit of Castro, Amzi
l.. Barber and Ambrose H. Garner,
The New York & Bermudez compa-
ny claims that it is the victim of con-
spiracy engineered by these three
men. 1t has asked the state depart
ment to secure an arbitration of the
whole subject by an international tri'
bunal. Much new light is thrown on
the question by the testimony of AmZi
l.. Barber. before the commissioner
appointed to take evidence in the eel
ebrated and unprecedented case in
which President Castro seeks TO re-
cover S11O00,000 damages for alleged
participation by this company in the
Matos revolution OF 1901. A great
part of this testimony is now printed,
the hearing itself, held October Is,
1905, having been quietly conducted
in the presence of only a few attor-
neys and witnesses.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Bar
ber was conducted by Delaney Nicoil
of New York.

The dining room Is made of cast
iron, and sealed between meals like

with a number of appetizers. Then
'bortsch" soup, hot and cold meats,
half dozen entrees, hot and cold
fowls, many different vegetables, pud
dings, ices, cakes, wine, tea and
vodka.
The number of courses are always

members of the presentation COM

of the Navy Bonaparte will be present
at the ceremony. He has been es-
pecially invited for the occasion, but
was not able to make definite prom
ise, owing 10 the pressure OF business
during the early days of the session
of congress after the holiday recess.
Tomorrow evening the officers of the

parte, should he come. will be the
guests of the city at a banquet given
in their honor. Fer the following day
a big hunt afield has been arranged
for the officers of the Charleston and
the other warships in the harbor.
The punch bowl, which will be do
mated to the Charleston, is of large
size and exquisite workmanship. 1t
was made in New York and is orna-
mented with relief scenes of Fort
Sumpter, Fort Moultrie, the Battery
and st. Michaels church, and also the
seals OF the navy and of the city of
Charleston and various emblemaJic

Washington, Jan. 9.-Speaker Can
mons efforts 10 win the insurgents
over to the Hamilton joint statehooh
bill have met with little success ap-
parently, and the joint statehood
proposition is still shrouded in un-
certainty. The insurgents claim they
have 58 votes, the number which.
coupled with the solid democratic
vote, will force the consideration of
amendments to the Hamilton bill.
Two or three republicans are re-
ported to have been won over To the
administration measure through
Speaker Cannon, but the weakening
of the oppositio mis- so slight that un-
til further changes are brought about
the Hamilton bill will not be taken
before the house.
All sorts of compromises have been
suggested, but have met with no ia
for at the hands of the supporters of
joint statehood. The last compro-
mise offered by the insurgents was the
insertion of a single word, leach"
where it would provide that the peo-
pie of New Mexico and Arizona should
decide by popular vote whether they
would accept joint statehood

New York, Jan. 9.--Henry II. Rog-

Hadley then asked Rogers IL he
was connected with the Standard

business of the Standard Oil of Ken
lucky. The counsel for the Standard
objected, and the witness declined to
answer.
Several other question Rogers de-
clined to answer.
Lawson to Appear.
New York, Jan. 9.--Attorney Cen
eral Hadley, of Missouri, said today
that Thomas w. Lawson. of Boston.
would be invited to appear before the

reached today when the attorney
general was informed that Lawson
was willing to appear.
Lawson last night expressed his
willingness to come to New York in
connection with the inquiry. Hadiey
said he would telegraph Lawson i'm
mediately and ask him to come to
New York and testify.
Rogers Maintains RefusaIs.
Rogers continued to decline to ans
wer questions, but finally Hadley
brougt from him that John Teagle is

board of trade will hold its annual

evening There will be a number OF

matters to be touched upon will be the
proposed Philippine shipping law,
which becomes operative on July l,
1906. The board of trade Is strongly
opposed TO the new law and will urge
upon congress to repeal the law, as II
would place injurious restrictions on

One might imagine from reports OF
the czar's enforced seclusion and the
fact that death by poison is one OF his
many great fears, that conversation
something like the above might take
place in the imperial palace.
But the fact is that Nicholas par
takes of an extraordinarily extensive
menu, and spends enormous sums to
procure it, and also to secure himself
from the sudden death ingredients
that so many of his faithful subjects
would like to enter into the imperial
bill of fare.
To begin with, Eugene Kratz, head
chef of the palace, ranks as general
in the Russian army, and his salary
is about $4,000 a year. He bosses
all the imperial kitchens. About the
only time Kratz does manual work is
when the czar's appetite becomes
passe, and, as Alexander sighed for a
new world to conquer, Nicholas
Graves for something new to eat.
Then Kratz gets busy. He hikes to
his private kitchen and thinks and eX-
periments-mixes, stews, bakes things
which no cook book ever thought Of
until he finally satisfies himself that
he has got something that will "hit"
Nicholas just right.
But he doesn't call Nicholas. in and
say: "Try a spoonful of this, Nick,
I'm sure you will like it." Oh, no;
nothing like that.
The imperial tasters are ordered to
the front.
First comes the under chefs, and
each gets n taste As to whether or
not they really approve, from gas.

gun before the United States court
today Abraham II. Ross of New York
acted as the principal attorney for the
defense He will be assisted at the
trial by Colonel Maldrum and other
prominent attorneys. The two de-
tendants were brought back from Can
ada on a request Of the United States
government for their extraditiOn, and
that fact will probably be used by the
defense to cOnfne the trial to the
two counts of the Indictment which
are included in the terms of the ex-
tradition treaty between the United
States and Canada. There are in all.
Tour charges against the defendants.
hrst, conspiracy TO defraud the United
states government; second, present
ing false accounts, third, embezzle-
ment; and fourth, receiving money
that belonged TO the government,

tronomic ndpoint-according to
Victor Hurtzler, who served two years
in the winter palace kitchen, and who
is now chef of a San Francisco hotel
that does not count.
The idea is to see If any of these
under-chefs drops dead or falls into
convulsions-a sort of case of trying
it on the dog. Then the under under
chefs get into the tasting line, and
next a major of the army. No fatal
or serious results following, then is

king and would kill a peasant.
The car frequently submits menu
for the day, and when it is under

the kitchen enveloped in delicate va
pors.

War and pate de fol gras are never
