Her work this summer has been confined principally with the exception of some exquisite bits of china, the crude under lying principles of art and she returned with only one real picture All the rest are merely studies.

WASHINGTON. April ls.-ven-
ezuela is to be coerced. Blanket au-
thority will be given the president to
deal with the existing situation ac-
cording to his best Judgment. This is
the program now framed up by the
republican leaders.
Senator Cullom, chairman of of the
committee on foreign relations, has
prepared a resolution more drastic
and sweeping than the one formulated
by Senator Lodge. It gives the presi-
dent full power to make demonstra-
ton in force. This resolution has been
approved by the president and Secre-
tary Root It will take precedence
over the Lodge resolution. Mr.. Cullom,
as chairman OF the foreign relations
committee, will bring the matter up
soon and some legislation seems as
sured- Joint action by the senate and
house is necessary.
The administration for a time feared
II had been placed in an awkward po-
sition by the recent ratification of a
general arbitration treaty and one OPP
posed to the forcible collection OF con-
tractural debts It seemed that because
OF these two conventions the spank

It Is now found that IN the latest
communication from Minister Russell
at Caracas he announces the final re-
lection of proposed arbitration by Cas-
tro with the request that such q sug-
gestion be hereafter regarded as a
closed incident This is construed as
releasing the United States from all OBJ
legations imposed by the two treaties.

The news that the water sources Of

all those who are interested in the

Of the state. The cost has been vari-

The young bride was met at the

Far back In the crowd was wife No. /,
formerly Mrs. Servine of WatsonvilIe

her husband. Her eyes flashed and she
exclaimed:

She also burst into tears. hid her
face and asked her friends to take her

One of the strangest features OF the
whole case is the fact that Gibson's
sister. Miss Myrtle Gibson. student in
the San Jose normal school, attended
Gibsons second wedding. She knew that
her brother had not obtained divorce
from his first wife, as she had been
living with the couple in their home in

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-It is felt
in Washington that Sacramento's re-

an unfortunate move.
