Poisoned.

South Norwalk, Aug. 10--A poison- ous variety of mushrooms nearly caused John Ungvary, his wife and three young children, of Smith street, South Norwalk, to take a pre- mature departure from earthly woes to-day.
 But for prompt treatment 1t is be- lieved all five members of the family would have died.
 Yesterday morning Ungvary thought it would be pretty nice thing if he could get mess of mushrooms for dinner, and he set out into the woods after those delicacies. Apparently he had good luck, for he soon had good sized receptacle of them and took them home to his wife. Mrs. Ung- vary in due time cooked them in the usual manner and they were served with the family dinner
 Not long after the meal the various members of the family began feeling i'll and did not know what the trouble was. A hurry call was sent for Dr, J. w. Vollmer, who applied medical remedies and got the family out of the danger zone, though all hands were very sick and in dangerous condition.

LEGAL CLASH OVER THAW IS IMMINENT Attempt May Be Made to Get Prisoner Out of Jerome's Hands Through Referee
 in Bankruptcy.
CREDITORS FORM A PLAN
Probable They Win Dust Thaw's Re- ceiver, O'Mara, and Select Their Own Trustee, as AL
 lowed by Law.

Pittsburg. Aug. l0-The probability that some New York man may soon succeed Detective Roger OMara, now serving as receiver and custodian of the estate of Harry K. Thaw Is tho proposition in the much complicated case most generally discussed in Pitts burg tonight. This Is based upon the provisions of the federal bankruptcy law. It Is admitted that creditors have the right at their first meeting to elect q trustee to take charge of all of the property of a petitioner in bankruptcy and that such trustee immediately su- persedes any receiver that may previ- ously have been appointed by any oth- CT authority.
 Acting upon this provision, 1t is sur missed the creditors a majority of whom are residents of New York are likely to make a concerted move for one of their own selection to act as trustee.
 The flercest legal fight however, Is expected because of reports from New York that should an attempt be made to bring Thaw here District Attorney Jerome will oppose any such move, fearing that if Thaw is once removed from the Jurisdiction of New York courts there will be trouble in having him returned to that Jurisdiction. Un- der the bankruptcy law should the ref. cree call for Thaw and he fall to ap pear, such failure would constitute contempt Hence the prospect of 2 clash between state and federal au. thorities. Legal authorities are watch ling developments with interest

CASTRO TAKES US
 INTO CONFIDENCE Fncorrigible President of Ven < ezuela Tells Associated a Press About His
 Troubles. IS ALL FOR ARBITRATION Asserts That Country Pays All Her 2 Obligations Punctually and That "Posterior Events Are Only Incidents"
IS ALL FOR ARBITRATION

Caracas, Venezuela. Friday, Aug. z. via Port of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. 10.- Deviating from his usual custom of not speaking for publication, Presi- dent Castro to-day granted an inter view to The Associated Press con corning Venezuela and her troubles with foreign powers which recently have been augmented by his expulsion from the republic of the Dutch min astcr, M. De Reus.
 T am glad to give The Associated Press my opinion on this historic mo- ment,' said President Castro. q only wish everybody the ,peaee and harmony that exist with the good commercial relations which small na- tions need. To create diplomatic agents who humble weak nations Is an anomalous counteractive.
 f. If the powers will not fultill the great idea that the great International < tribunal shall decide disputes by ar bitration and not by force, they com init suicide.
 Reason would have acquired pres tige and force would not prevail to- day if. when the bockaders used force against us, friendly nations had adopted peaceful measures to settle the outstanding questions. The in- corporation against us of those na- tions considered as friends completely destroyed the right of reason and placed all of them in the category of favoring force in the solution of diff. .culties. The question of the lse of force in the collection of debts was carried before The Hague peace con- ference, but we weak nations saved our rights there.
 Tn spite of all, Venezuela will con tinue in peaceful development, be. and posterior events are only incl. ,dents.
 We ait first paid the blockaders ot our ports because of the dominance of force. The decision that termin ated this state of affairs was that o the high Hague tribunal. To-day Venezuela punctually pays her debt' and fulfills all her obligations.
 "The American government, nev ertheless, broke friendly relations win us but notwithstanding this fact commercial relations between tn, United States and Venezuela continu, the same as before the break occur The severance of friendly rela tions between France and Venezuela has not altered the normal progress o their republic.
 Both the American and French gov ernment'' ,ave made claims agains Venezuela which are being paid Con sequently, as corporate interests o those countries have damaged us, assume that an opportunity will b taken by their governments to listei to our just claims against those inter ests and that competent tribunals wi decide the amount of these claims.
 "The Netherlands incident l consid CT to have been brought about by M De Reus (the Dutch minister to Ven ezuela who recently was expelled b President Castro) and the Curaco government"
