SHER|FF'S BILLS
CAN'T Be HELD Up,
"FREEHOLOERS SAY
Committee Tells German Central
Society That II Has No AL
Tentative but to Pay.

An effort TO learn the particulars of
bills ~aggregating $23. 200, put in by
Sheriff Sommer for work done by a
private detective agency during his
anti-vice crusade, was made at the
meeting of the finance committee Of the
Board of Freeholders by the German
American Central Society late yester-
day. Paul w. Roder, president of the
society and spokesman for the delega-
ton, was told by the Freeholders that
the latter could not furnish the infor-
nation, and had no choice but TO pay
the bills.
"They have been approved by the
Prosecutor and Judge Ten Eyck,' said
County Supervisor Otterbein. land we
are bound by law 70 pay bills approved
by these two officials"
Mr.. Roder declared that while the So
ciety, which has a membership of about
10. 1000. had implicit faith in the court
and the Prosecutor, the public was en-
titled to know the items which made
up the bills in question. They were
considered extraordinary by the society,
he said.
I'VE feel that they are correct he
added. but believe that we should
know just what we are paying $4,000
for"

HOLLAND NOW
IN BRO|L WITH
SPUNKY CASTRO
Minister Can Either Get Out or
Swallow Venezuelan
Pudding.

CARACAS, July 9.-The threatening
break in the friendly relations long
existing between Holland and Vene-
Zuela will add one more nation to the
long list of those which either have no
intercourse with Venezuela or have
serious questions pending. These are
France. Colombia, United States, Eng
land, and. perhaps, Italy.
Minister De Reus has now been
placed by Venezuela's pugnacious
President in the position of either show
ing his disapproval by packing up and
going away or of setting aside his pride
by quietly ignoring Castro's note.
The trouble is over quarantine regu-
lations and transhipment rules by the
government Of Curacao.
De Reus, in his answer to Castro. ex-
planned that the Curacao government
could not carry out all of President
Castro's wishes, and he insisted that
Senior Lopez, the new Venezuelan coz
sui in Curacao, had misinformed the
Venezuelan government. and that he
had gone to Curacao very much preju-
diced against that island. 1t Is believed
that the illusions to the consul We're
what most exasperated Castro. He also
said that he wished that the tranship-
ment decree could be reconsidered, as II
was a great blow TO the business of
Curacao.
The text of President C%astro's note
has been kept a close secret.

fcderate Veterans asking for further
contributions. Mrs. Alice Baxter, Pres

tiers of the Confederacy, says:
1--WE place the monument on land
offered us in the town of Andersonviile.
Thus it will be on Georgia soil, not
near any place that could be construed
into an act of retaliation or agrees
sion. For, friends. we are not building
this monument in spirit of animosity
to any one, but simply to commemorate
a man whose life we feel was sacrificed
for us, and who has been much ma
ligned and much misrepresented. We
only want to bear witness to the truth
and with malice toward none are plac-
ing our memorial. as we have right
to do, in our own State and to our own
dead So let us do the work now, while
Mrs Perrin. Maj. Virus daughter. a
woman well stricken in years is left
to see and enjoy this the South's first
recognition of her fathers work and his
unjust trial and condemnation. She
hungers and thirsts for a sight of this
memorial, so let US go on with the
building of it and invite her to be pres
ent with us at the unvailing.
"And here let me place on record
our deep appreciation of the Woman's
Relief Corps of the Grand Army of the
Republic, whose president, as almost
her last act on earth, saw to the re-
moval of the unworthy and false state
ments on signb6ard and posters in the
Prison psrk at Andersonville. With
them goes one great cause for bitter
ness andiaresentment. and when our
monument is raised we can say well
done and pass on to other living work
which is calling to us from every side"
