vENEzUELA'S SHREWD
MOVE WITH UNCLE SAM

Washington, Dec. 14.-Hinted in the
corridors of the state department this
afternoon that events are crystalliz-
ing between Holland and Venezuela
Diplomats say that Venezuela is
shrewdly moving in the direction
which leads to forcing the United
States to take cognizance of the quar-
rel with Holland. State department
officials are particularly interested in
the form in which the Venezuelan
minister has couched his protest and
asserts Holland is making Territorial
Aggressions." 1t is settled in the
United States that no nation can exact
any indemnity from or inflict punish.
ment of Venezuela which involves less
territory to that country. The state
department assumes Holland under
stands this and expects the United
States will reply to Minister Paups
protest, and make such declaration as
will demand defination by Holland of
it's attitude toward Venezuela at pres
ent and in the future.

PARAMOUNT ROAD PEOPLE
MAKING A LOUD PROTEST

The improvement on the road lead
ing from this city to the Fairmount
Home is going along nicely, but a
number of the property owners are
quite angry over the grade and road,
says the Alliance Leader. The prop
erty owners are talking very strongly
of getting another engineer to go
over the survey for the purpose of
finding the error. The road appears
to swing to the west and is cutting
the frontage at about all the homes
it passes. A tree that was one of
the marks of an early survey was cut
by the telephone company to make
room for the poles, and the poles are
presumed to be five feet from the
line. One property owner goes so far
as TO state that the stakes set by the
county surveyor for the phone COM
pany were changed after the engi-
neers left them. 1t is claimed the
road as it is being put through does
not fit any previous survey and is
far from the original one run by Ellis
N. Johnson. 1t is very plain that the
road is rCt where the property owners
thought it would be. A number of the
residents are badly damaged, but a
waiver was secured before the work
was started, which will head off any
legal action unless the road is in the
wrong place.
Some of the oldest residents along
the road make the claim that the cor
ner stones and surveyors stakes have
been removed. If this is the case the
penalty is a severe one and the mat
ter should be investigated by the
county commissioners. In about all
public improvements, there are al
ways some that are dissatisfied and
find fault where none exists. In a
case where the open charge of stake
changing Is made the officials should
rot wait for the property owners tC
have a new survey made.
The Improvement when completed
will be a great benefit to a large sec.
tion of country and 1t should have
the backing of all citizens. No prop
erty owner along the line will kick
if he knows the line is right.
The objections along this line will
undoubtedly spoil all chance of get

FORAKER REPLIES TO
BROWNSVILLE MESSAGE

Washington, Dec. 14.-At conclusion
of reading the Brownsville message
Foraker arose and drew a packet of
letters from Conyers from his pocket.
They were written since the alleged
confession, repudiating 1t and telling
of visits of detectives to Monroe. Ga,
where Conyers lived. Foraker read
the letters and then said: 81 tell you
when the Brownsville story is told in
all its details; when we've discovered
all the truth. honest men will blush
for shame" He then called atten-
tion to the fact that Negro Lawson
who makes such a smooth high sound
ing statement signed 1t with his
mark" Foraker read four letters
which he said was the entire corre-
spondence referred to by the president.
Concluding he said: This is the sixth
time these men have been placed on
trial and believe acquitted"
