BOYCOTT WILL BE
 PROBED BY JURY

New Orleans December 23.-"To boy colt a newspaper doing an interstate bus mess is an offense which falls directly under the decision of the supreme court in the Danbury Hatters' case" said Judge Eugene D. Saunders of the United States court in charging the grand jury here today.
 Judge Saunders charge to the federal grand jury and the investigation which was begun immediately by that body started another chapter to the story of a determined effort to re-establsh rac- ing in New Orleans. It was charged that certain saloons, hotels and other interests of the city were combining to boycott newspapers which opposed racing and race track gambling in their editorials. Before adjournment for the day the grand jury heard several witnesses in the mat ter
 we cannot permit quasi-criminal DOT tion of this population to censor and dic- tate what the newspapers of this city shall be permitted to say in their discus sion of public questions" said Judge Saunders to the jury. And if there is a conspiracy of this kind then it behooves you to investigate 1t thoroughly and to indict the men engaged in it, so that they may undergo the severest penalty that the law may inflict upon them."

MANY INDICTED
 FOR TRAIN WRECK

New Orleans, December 23-As re- suit of the disastrous wreck on the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad a few miles out of New Orleans on November Il, in which ten lives were lost and dozen or more people severely injured, the grand jury in session here today returned indictments charging manslaughter against the following:
 N G. Pearsall, general superintendent of the New Orleans Great Northern; H. E. Flannigan, division superintendent of the New Orleans and Northeastern J. o. Armistead, chief train dispatcher of the New Orleans Great Northern Henry Slager conductor and A E. Hudson en- gineer, of the New Orleans and North eastern, and ". A. Blackburn engineer of the New Orleans Great Northern.
 After censuring the New Orleans and Northeastern for its alleged tardiness in affording relief to the wreck victims, the grand jury recommended to the Louisiana railroad commission that all the railroads entering New Orleans be required to maintain relief trains for instant use and that all lines in the state be compelled to adopt the block signal system
 The indicted men were required to fur nish bond in the sum of 5000 each.

ON BETTER TERMS
 WITH VENEZUELA

Washin gton, December 23.-After an interval of eight months the United States has resumed friendly relations with Venezuela and William I. Bu- ehanan has left this country on the cruiser North Carolina in the capacity of a special commissioner to visit that county, look into the situation and make a report. Much will depend on the nature of the communications partment, among them the questions whether the United States will accord formal recognition to the government as it now exists, a decision dependent upon it's ability to maintain a stable institution and to fulfill it's treaty established that the Gomez govern ment will retain its power without trouble for there are many adherents of Castro throughout the country. In- deed the possibility that disorder may arise is indicated in the expression of a desire for an American warship at La Guayra to which wish this govern ment has promptly responded.
 The general opinion is that the new order of things will open the way for the pacific settlement in some form of the difference not alone between this country and Venezuela but between the latter country also and Holland and France.
 The break in diplomatic relations be- tween the United States and Vene- zuela was brought about by a refusal in March last by the Castro admins- tration to arbitrate questions of con troversy between the two countries. The five claims which form the basis of the last negotiations are those of A. J. Jurett, who was expelled from the country the Orinoco corporation, the Orinoco Steamship company, the New York and Bermudez Asphalt com pany and the United States and Ven ezuela company, the amounts involved running nominally into millions of dol lars. These claims are among those which President Gomez In general terms has expressed a wish to settle satisfactorily

Paris, December 23.-In view of a possible congressional investigation in the United States into the Panama canal purchase, M Lamarques, the receiver of the old company, who hith- erto has declined to be interviewed, made the following statement today:
 While I do not desire to go into details or particulars in the polemic now raging in America, I do not hes itate in speaking from personal knowl- edge to brand the story of the exis- tence of an American syndicate to which the purchase money is supposed eventually to have gone as a fable in vented out of whole cloth"
 Should an official investigation be ordered in the United States M. Le marques expected that it would rest with the court to decide what infor- nation should be legally furnished.
