A burly, fierce looking man and a
meek, inofrensiye looking little chap
were saving timber with a crosscut

that way, stopped to watch them.
Back and forth, back and forth, they
pulled at the saw. Finally the Irish

at the big man and brought him to the
ground, burying his knees deep into
the sawyer's chest.

INFURIATED MOB SWEEPS
UNHINDERED OVER CITY

Caracas, Monday (via Willemstad,
Dec. 16).-The people of Caracas
rose today against President Castro.
An infuriated mob, unhindered by
the police, swept through the city,
Wrecking the property of Castro's
henchmen and closest friends. The
people rounded up all the pictures of
Castro from the clubs and semi-pub-
lie buildings and burned them on the
Boulevard de Plaza. President Cas-
tro's rule in Venezuela is probably
ended.
Further dangerous demonstrations
are anticipated No official act de-
posing Castro from the presidency has
Yet been passed, but such a step is ex-
pccted at any moment.
An enormous crowd, composed of
inhabitants of the capital and swelled
by people from the coast towns, gath
cred in the streets of the city shortly
after daybreak The people began
marching up and down the thorough
fares and it was easy to see that their
ill temper would soon result in yio-
lence. The police stood by and made
no attempt to restrain the mob.
In spite of Hollands warlike DEM
onstration on the coast there has been
no demonstration against the Neither
lands. All the demonstrations here
are against Castro and Acting Presi-
dent Gomez.

find nobody worse than De Sagan."
The lawyer then asked the court to
order the taking of testimony on
points which the defense had decided
to meet In conclusion he appealed
TO the court to withdraw the three
children from the custody of their
mother who had married a man re
nounced by one of the proudest fami-
lies of France and who chad spent a
month in prison" and place them In
the case of the mother of the count
whose only purpose was to direct her
grandchildren in the right path.
Speaking of the princess NJ. Clemen-
ceau characterized de Castellane's
change of attitude on the money ques-
ton as a gallery play induced by
his tardy appreciation of the unpre-
cedented character of his demand for
an allowance of 100000 year, and
the severity with which the public
had ridiculed him. Touching the
counts statement that he renounccd
his claim with pleasure" the lawyer
announced:
IF the count took such pleasure in
this demand why did he
'ver formulate it?'
NJ. Clemeneeau justified the inter-
yention Of George Gould on the ground
Of his sisters interests and said he
could not understand why Mr.. Gould

luct during the period Of his mar

ier then reminded the court that the

NJ. Clemenceau concluded by saying

Flushing, n. y. Dec. 16.-The story
of the Staying of William e. Annis as
he sat in his cat boat and was riddled
with bullets. was today made part of
the record in the trial of Thornton ].
Hams, a magazine writer, charged
with being a principal with his broth

the murder OF Annis last summer.
Tracing the movements of the prin-
oipals at the Bayside Yacht club trag-
edy with the aid Of miniature iroa Zig
ures and models of the float and its
cat boat Pam, Edwin Andrews, a
yacht club member showed under eX-
animation how the army captain
standing on the floats edge held aloft
the obscuring boom and sail of Annis'
boat and shot the publisher as he sat
at the tiller. There was surprise
when II was learned that John Ton
ming. a Swedish boatman who saw
the tragedy. could not be located Dis

Tonning was in Sweden but that

that he struck Captain Hains after

The cross examination OF Andrews
consumed the most part of the after
noon and Lawyer Mcintyre sought to
develop that Thornton Hains had said
after the tragedy that he had tried
to dissuade Captain Hains from his
act and that he would detain him uu-
til the officers came.
Special Prosecutor White declared

ployment as laborers.'
The resolution further authorizes
the committee on appropriations to
subpoena witnesses and examine them
under oath; and further to report
what action. if any, in the Judgment
Of the committee the senate should
take in the matter
Mr. Bailey objected to the recon-
mendation because it does not direct
the committee to inquire into the
very gross and wanton" words of the
presidents message
so far MS | am concerned, he said
"no action should be taken on that
resolution until that point is covered
Either congress is the most infamous
body that ever assembled in any couu-
try Of the world or il will take some
notice of this most wantou and gross
insult ever given anybody i'm the
world"
Mr.. Aldrich insisted that the reso-
luton provided for just what Mr.
Bailey advocated but the senator from
Texas retorted that if that was nclud-
ed in the resolution it was in a mild
form
Mr.. Hale declared the resolution
was sufficiently strong worded to per
init the committee on appropriations
to make the kind OF report desired by
Mr. Bailey
81 would like to inquire Of the sen
ator from Maine" nterposed Mr. Tnl-
ban whether he thinks the senate
has been insuted."
Mr.. Hale insisted that every one
had his own opinion on that subject
and any one was as able as he to form
an opinion.
Mr.. Tilman insisted that owing "a
the presidents message congress IS
composed of lot of "rascals and
scoundrels who belong in the peniten-
tiary"
Mr.. Hale replied that there had
been a great deal of "rcstlessness and
Indignation in the senate"
There is no restlcssness at the
White House" reterted Mr. Tllman.
They are content and calm as can
be there"
Mr.. Culberson said the message was
a deliberate. studied and gratituous
insult to the congress" by the presl-
dent.
senator Newlands declared the ques-
ton at issue was whether the secret |
service had been used to investigate |
In the pursuance of their |
legislative duties or wHs only to de- !
ect frauds in the duties devolving |
lpon executive departments
Mr. NeWlands said he was not at
empting to apologize for the presi-
lent but wanted to have the senate
lvoid any hasty or improper language
