VENEZUELA CRISIS
DUE THIS WEEK
Correspondence With Cas-
tro Viii Be Sent to Senate
Soon.
Five Claims Which u. S.
Demands Be Submitted
to Arbitration.

The crisis in the controversy between
the United States and President Castro
and his Venezuelan government will
probably be reached this week, when
the Senate takes up the consideration
or the correspondence between the two
governments in regard TO the American
claims.
Secretary Root will probably transmit
the documents 20 the Senate tomorrow
or Tuesday. in response 10 Senator
Lodges resolution. These will cover the
efforts made by the State Department
to have the fve American claims
against Venezuela submitted 10 arbi-
tration, the most notable Of which is
that OF the New York and Bermudez
Company in connection with the asphalt
deposit OF the country.
Other Claims to Be Settled.
The other claims are the arbitrary
expulsion of an American citizen, A f.
Jaurett, from Venezuela, the claim Of
the OrinocO Company TO certain poT-
lions or territory by right of cOuCes-
sion, the claim OF the OrinoCo Steam
ship Company TO navigation COnces-
sions. and the claim OF the United
States and Venezuela Company TO GER
tain mining privileges.
The correspondence is expected to
bear out the views Of Secretary Root as
expressed in a letter of instruction TO
Minister Russell. in February. 1907. IA
this the Secretary said, concerning the
New York and Bermudez COmpanys
claim, that the embargo Of the prop
erty belonging to the company through
titles unquestioned and subsistent, is
violent and unjust deprivation OF prop
erty, and the continued possession and
exploitation Of these mines by s. seques-
traitor or bv any person other than an
agent legally authorized by the com
pany is a daily and increasing injury"
Arbitration Demanded.
In this and each of the other four
claims the attitude of the Castro gov
eminent is held to be unreasonable and
unjust, and the demand is made that
the questions be submitted to arbitra-
ton. Recently Secretary Root has sub
mitted these claims separately. in order
that no gap be left in the diplomatic
proceedings before submitting the mat
ter to Congress.
President Castro evidently expects
trouble. The hasty withdrawal of the
Venezuelan diplomatic representative
from Washington some months ago.
Senior Puhdo, and the activity Of his
representative at the Capital show that
he is trying TO head of disaster.
What action the Senate may take in
case the views of Secretary Root ara
adopted-and they very likely willis
question It may authorize or direct
the peaceful embargo of a port. or may
even send warships to collect the
amount of the claim. without violating
any treaty obligations. although the lat
ter course would be contrary TO the
usual attitude OF the United States.

THE APE-MAN.

The famous ape-man, Pithecanthropus
erectus. was found about sixteen years
ago by DR.. Eugene Dubois, in the gravel
beds Of the Bengawan river, near TriniI,
in Java The recent eEplora tons in the
same locality by Dr. ]. Elberts, the
German geologist, seem to indicate that
Java had still earlier inhabitants, who
built fires, cooked deer. pigs, and an
Client buffaloes and elephants. and had
pottery and stone arrow-heads. These
people. whose bones are not reported
among the remains found, are supposed
to have lived coco years ago.

The Mulkey Meetings

On last Sunday night Abe Null
key began "A series OF evangelistlc
services in Tucumcari, the first
services being held at the Baptist
church and the remainder in the
skating rink.
Services have been held every
day at 10 a. m. and : p. m. The
attendance at the morning services
have been very good, and large
crowds have attended the services
in the evening. All OF the pastors
OF Tucumcari are cooperating with
Mr.. Mulkey, and the choir led by
MIR. Berdine, OF Texas, is made
up from members OF the different
churches OF the city.
Mr.. Mulkey is unique as
preacher, and is in class occu-
pied entirely by himself. Some OF
his subjects last week were; The
Greatest Choice, Neglect is Fa-
tai, Restitution, "Opportun-
ity, Moral Inventory, Wine
and Branches, Christian Plat
form, Repentance" building
and Rebuilding.
Mr.. Mulkey is humorous as we'll
as pathetic, and his audiences are
one moment in laughter and the
next in tears. II is hoped that
much good will result from the
meeting, and that many souls will
be saved and the churches OF the
city greatly benefited.
