AMERICANS LEAVE CARACAS
Diplomatic Representatives Are With
drawn from Venezuela.
ALL KINDS OF RUMoRs CURRENT
Interests of United States Are Placed
I'm Charge of BraEiIian LeEa-
t~ion--HOllnnd Also Has
with Castro.

CARACAS. June 22-(Via Willemstad,
June 24-The members Of the American
legation are awaiting the arrival OF the
United States gunboat Marietta at Porto
Cabello, the warship having been ordered
there for the purpose of transferring them
to the United States, Jacob Sleeper, who
has been acting as charge d'effaires since
the departure of the American minister,
W. w. Russell. and Lieutenant Francis
A. Ruggles, the military attache withdrew
from the legation at Caracas on Saturday
and proceeded to Porto Csbello. The
interests of the United States were placed
in charge of the Brazilian legation, as the
representatives OF the European nations
are having considerable friction with Presi-
dent Castro's government. The American
consular agent, John Brewer, remains here
in charge of the archives.
President Castro returned here suddenly
a few days ago. after a iong absence in
the interior and his arrival attracted much
attention. All kinds of rumors are cur
rent and the withdrawal of the represen-
tatives of the United States is not quite
understood by Venezuelans. 1t is probable
too, that there will be an early rupture
with Holland and there are reports that
a revolution against the administration Is
being organized in Columbia. AS matters
now stand, the United States, France and
Columbia practically have no relations with
Venezuela: Great Britain and Holland have
serious questions pending with the govern
ment; Germany alone has no dispute
CastrO's OrEan Brave.
The Constitutional, President Castro's
organ, in an editorial today, says:
The United States, in closing a sensa-
tional diplomatic process in such an. un-
expected way, cannot weaken the spirit OF
brotherhood and the high consideration OF
Venezuelan people toward the United
States. The Venezuelan government and
the president have the satisfaction or
possessing justice and law In the attitude
which they have maintained and the IN
"disputable adhesion of the people.
Before his withdrawal from the legation
Mr.. Sleeper sent a note to the govern
ment skins for passports. This note was
answered in very considerable language.
The American charge was told that pass
ports were unnecessary, inasmuch as he

REVISING SCHOOL ACCOUNTS

High school Association Presents the

The Board Of Education met in adjourned
regular session last evening for the pur-
pose OF considering the suggestion OF Mem
Der W. B. Reed that a new and more de-
tailed system Of keeping the accounts Of
the school district be adopted. Mr.. Reed,
who had been requested TO recommend some
system submitted his report and same was
referred to the finance committee and the
COMMITTEES on printing and supplies with
power to act in the matter of securing tho
necessary books. blanks, etc.
Under the new system as recommended
b. MI. Reed II will be possible at the end
OF each month to ascertain the expense Of
maintaining any single building or the
expense Of any department of the schools,
supplies. fuel. repairs and all sother ex-
penses. All bids before being paid will
have to be accompanied by a requisition
signed by the chairman Of the proper COM
mittee. II VAS also suggested that teach
ers and ~janitors be paid by check instead Of
having them sign the monthly pay roll,
but no definite action was taken on this.
committee from the athletic association
OF the high school waited on the board
with a request that It provide the school
with an athletic park. The committee
stated that it had in view four acres ly-
ing south OF Twenty-ninth avenue and
east Of the street car tracks which would
be suitable for the purpose. The board
asked that the committee make a definite
proposition, giving tho probable cost of
the ground, also as to how much the ground
could be leased for. At the same time the
board did not hold out to the committee
much hope that the finances of the district
would permit any expenditure for the pur-
pose suggested.
The matter Of erecting a new smoke
stack on the high school building and rails
ing the old one which had slipped down the
brick chimney was left with the t)mmit-
tee on buildings and grounds to cope with.

The recent diplomatic friction between
Venezuela and Holland over the closing
of Venezuelan ports to Dutch vessels and
President Castro's decree. prohibiting the
trans-shipment of csrgoes in the island of
Curaco reached a crisis several days ago
a note sent him by the Dutch minister, j.
H. De Reus, protesting against the decree
and criticising the Venezuelan consul at
Willemstad. President Castro refused to
modify the orders which he had issued.
Ministed de Reus is now awaiting instruc-
tons from The Hague and the opinion
among the diplomats here and others in
we'll informed circles Is that a severing OF
relations between the two countries is not
unlikely.

partment has been officially notified Of

Bartonville, a suburb of Peoria, is
having its troubles with the Central
Union telephone monopoly, and the
villagers have begun cutting poles and
lines as a means of securing rates as
low as those prevailing at Peoria and
in neighboring villages. The residence
rate fixed arbitrarily by the company
is $50 year, and $50 year for bus
mess service. Outside of radius of
three miles an additional $24 year is
charged for each mile. The trustees
made a demand for a reduction, and
no heed was paid to it. Now the ques

and Bartonville will be forced to sus

Plea to the Vice President.
Colonel Jim Lowrey of. the Honey
Groves CTexl Signal. a newspaper man
of the old school, has published dis
sertation on buttermik which his
friends regard us a gem of humor.
says Dallas CTeX.J dispatch to the
New York Press. A copy of the Sig
nal has been sent to Vice President
Fairbanks, exponent of the virtues of
buttermilk. Mr.. Fairbanks has been
elected a charter member of the But
termilk club, which LOwrey has organ
lied with fifty-six members. Colonel
Jim's production is as follows:
The state prohibition election is
coming Be wise and join the Signals
Buttermilk club. Buttermilk comes
straight from the COW and is stran-
ger to the crooked ways of the still
worm. 1t is forbearng and unselfish,
stands knocking and jabbing without
murmur and finally yields the cream
of its existence with the chee:fulness
of Christian martyr.
"Buttermilk does not have to be bot
tied in bond to remove suspicion. Mel
Their does it have to grow as old as
Methuseah before it throws off the
fires that consume a fellows innards.
1t is full aged and mellow in one day,
and it combines the rich sweetness of
the sugar cane with the mild butter of
the turnip top and the delightful acid
of the pineapple.
Look upon it as it stands in the COB
let, as white and foamy as gin fizz,
as thick as prepared cement and as
inviting as sillabub. Drink it down
| and make your innards glad. 1t gives
health it wooes headaches away, it is
the oil OF gladness to stomach derange-
| ments, it makes peritonitis impossible,
| it prevents appendicitis and browns
gastritis.
Form a liking for this delightful
product of the churn, the real nectar
of the COW, the INCREASED, purified
| fluid that flows so freely from the
| udder. 1t will cause fat chests to
swell and round, 1t will turn swim
neyed stomachs into bay windows Of
health and put dyspepsia over the
dump.
"Send out your bottles of firewater
at once, that we may preserve them as
souvenirs, and receive in exchange full
membership in the Signals Buttermilk
club"

The wolf hunters who recently re-
turned to Montreal from the wilds

Soned wolves and one Canadian lynx,
