DIscREDIT REPORT OF WAR.
Rumor That Venezuela Has Declared
Hostiltes Not Believed.

Berlin, Dec. 19.-Both the German
foreign office and President Castro dis
credit the report that Venezuela has
declared war against the Netherlands.
The foreign Office takes the ground
that even if hostilities have been de-
clared the declaration cannot become
effective because Venezuela is in no
position to carry campaign beyond
Its own borders and Holland will not
exceed the limits of its retaliatory
course as already fixed and known to
the United Stase
The feeling is also growing here
that President Castro left South Amer
lea not because of Illness, but to es-
cape the political turmoil and that he
has no intention of ever returning
The Hague, Dec. 19.-The foreign
office here places no credence in the
report that Venezuela has declared
war against the Netherlands. The
rumor apparently originated in Be-
gotta, Colombia. 1t is believed that
the only basis for the report is the
recent declaration by Vice President
Gomez of Venezuela that this country
was In state of defense" because of
Hollands seizure OF the coast guard
ship Alexis.

COURT UPHOLDS
GOVERNOR
HASKELL

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 31.-The SUI
preme court Saturday, concurring
unanimously in the comprehensive opin-
ion Of Justice Turner, rendered de-.
eision in the Haskell-West controversy
growing out Of the attorney generals
suit, in the Logan county district
court, restraining the Prairie Oil and
Gas company from the use Of the pub
lie domain in Oklahoma for construct
ing pipe lines The decision is a
sweeping and decisive victory for the
governors contention, all three Is
sues being decided in his favor.
The court held that, by virtue Of a
provision in the state constitution de-
scribing the governors power as that
Of causing the laws Of the state to be
faithfully executed, he has undisputed
right TO institute suits to that end.
The attorney generals contention,
that he has discretionary powers In
dependent Of the governors volitioni
is emphatlcally denied The decision
holds that the attorney general has
power to institute suit, in the name Of
the state. only upon authority from
he governor Of either branch Of the
state legislature.
The decision further holds that the
ancient writ Of quo warranto is sus
pended and that relief formerly soughf
By that means should come undel
civil action.
The status Of the contention, In th'
light OF the decision, is that the Prai
rie oil company is free to resume th'
work Of constructing its pipe lines il
| the contested territory.
