defying the British. They have boy
cotted British goods and have refused
to handle cargoes shipped by the
British merchants. In the interior
they are on the verge of revolt and in
many places they are arming and pre-

Agitators are largely responsible

melting the natives to acts of violence.
They believe the Japanese will aid

bill filed by Clarence H. Venner of
New York seeking to enjoin the Chi
cago City Railway company and the
city of Chicago from operating under
the ordinance recently granted by the
city to the company. Among other
things sought by Venner was a re-
ceiyer for the company and the estab-
lishment of how much money was
used to influence the passage of the
ordinance" In concluding his opin-
ion Judge Ball said:
This complainant purchased his
stock and waited until the ordinance
had been passed and bonds issued be-
fore he filed his bill that he might
come into his reward. / shall quote
Justice Brewer of the supreme court
of the United States, who said in the

MINNESOTA MEN INTERESTED
Orinoco Company's Case May Be
Reopened.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-A resolution
of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
calling on the state department for
papers relating to the rights of Amer
ican citizens in Venezuela reopens
the Orinoco company's case, This
company was composed largely of
Minnesota citizens, John A. Bowman,
Donald Grant and George l.. Baxter
being prominent in securing a conces-
sion from President Castro of Ven-
ezuela several days ago. Later when
a revolution disrupted the government
the Orinoco concession was declared
forfeited For many years the mem
bers of the company, who invested
heavily, have been seeking redress.
George L. Baxter is spending the win
ter in Washington looking after the
matter. The Lodge resolution is for
the state department to give publicity
to the acts of Venezuela. 1t is
claimed under the existing treaty
rights the Orinoco company is en-
titled to a considerable payment by
the government of Venezuela.
