CURTIS SAYS THAT
HE WARNED MORSE
Reads Letter Written to Pro-
mOter Of Ice Trust.

New York, Oct 29.-The apparent
determination of Alfred H. Curtis to
exonerate himself of all blame re
specting the banking transactions for
which he and Charles w. Morse are
now undergoing trial In the United
States district court here, became
more defined when under the prompt
ing Of his attorney Mr.. Curtis pro-
duced letter written by him under
date of June Is, 1907, and addressed
to Morse, in which he protested Wig
orously against the continuance of
which, in Curtis opinion, constituted
grave menace to the stability of the
Bank of North America.
The .incident Of the overdraft of
$4,000 by Morse, previously testi-
fed to, was made the subject of
searching questions by the witness
own attorney. Mr.. Curtis related the
coming Of F. Augustus Heinze to him
with a request for a loan of $126,00
and his refusal to grant the accom-
mediation. Morse demonstrated with
him, saying unless we let them have
the money they must go to the wall"
Curtis stood firm, however, he said,
and retorted: They can not have a
cent Of the banks money; II they
must fail, they must fail" But to his
amazement, he testified, a personal
check Of Charles w. Morse for $685.
600, drawn to the order Of Heinze,
came through the next day. The
check had been honored, the witness
said, although at the time Morse had
a balance to his credit Of only $4,000.

Dictates Reply to Second Note From
Netherlands While on Sick Bed and
Suggests That Confidential Agent
Be Sent to Venezuela With Au-
thority to Settle All Existing Diff
cuIties-Answers Yelled Threat Of
Demonstration by Preparation.
Caracas, Oct 29.-On Oct IL. the
day of his patron saint Cipriano, and
while lying on sick bed, President
Castro answered the second note
from the Netherlands government,
which fixes the date of Nov. for the
revocation of the trans-shipment de-
cree of May IA. 1t was not until the
following day, Oct. 13, that Vene-
zuela's anxiously-awaited reply was
delivered into the hands of Baron
Won Seckendorff, the German minis
ter, who is in charge of Dutch in
terests.
DR.. Paul, minister for foreign af-
fairs, closes his answer to Holland by
saying that, as an interruption Of dip
lomatic relations exists between the
Netherlands government and Vene-
zuela, and as the Venezuelan govern
ment desires to arrive at an amicable
arrangement, he asks the government
of Holland to send to Caracas a con-
fidential agent with powers and in
structions to settle all the difficulties
now existing.
The point of view of Venezuela, as
expressed in this answer, Is that, not
withstanding that the government Of
the Netherlands in last note admits
the good grounds for the grievances
presented by the Venezuelan govern
ment, it has not given the requested
satisfaction which is necessary for
the forgiveness of the offenses. The
Dutch government, in its note, limit
ed itself merely to an offer to pay
the material value Of the consular
shield destroyed by the Curacao mob
Venezuela's answer expresses sur
prise at, and calls inexplicable, the
fact that the government of Holland,
after having admitted in its note the
perfect right of Venezuela to issue
the trans-shipment decree, at the
same time asks for it's revocation
and simultaneously makes the threat
that it will no longer consider to be
in force the protocol of 1894 unless
said decree is revoked by Nov. 1.
The protocol signed at The Hague
on Aug. 20, 1904, by the special COM
missioner Of Venezuela, General Gar.
cha, and the Dutch government, was
for the purpose of re-establishing the
relations Of friendship between the
two nations, which had been severed
for 10 years. BY it Venezuela agreed
to drop all claims against Holland
and Holland agreed to prevent con-
spiracy and filibustering expeditions.
Holland makes no further threat In
her note, but the fact that two Dutch
warships left Holland at the same
time as the note and are now lying in
the harbor of Curacao has been in
terpreted here by the government
and by the people to be a direct
though mute threat that force will be
used on Nov. to compel the revoca-
ton Of the decree Of May IA.
President Castro has answered this
threat by making all necessary naval
and military preparations to meet
any reasonable contingency, and
shells for the large coast defense
guns on the La Guaira mountains
were carried up to the guns last
week. Now everything is in readi-
ness in case Holland prefers to send
the warships instead Of the confiden-
tial agent asked for by Venezuela.

wINCHEsTER's GROWTH.

The census of 1880 gave this city
1900 population; 1860, 4,000; 1900,
1854. In 1902, in the Congression-
al race between the Hon. John q.
White, of this city, and Hon.
Frank Hopkins, total of 1857
votes were cast.
There has been a gradual increase
of the vote since then until this
year when the registration shows
75i1 legally registered voters,
which is an increase of 1873 over
last year and an increase of $50
over 1902.
No census has been taken since
1900. but the voting population, as
shown by the records, has increased
on an average of over one hundred
a year. Counting five of popula
ton to each voter, a. rule that is
generally accepted, the increase in
population since 1900 has been over
1900, giving the city at the present
time in round numbers 10000 pop
ulation.
The city is in a circle, exten din
three-fourths of mile from the
center. If the limits were extended
one-fourth of a mile further to in
Guide the population that properly
belongs to the city there would be
1000 additional increase.
Winchester, in the ten years past
has grown faster than any city of
ats class in the State. Part of this
has been natural growth, of
course; much has come from its
ideal situation as the gateway to
Eastern Kentucky.
But what really makes for Win
chester's growth is the enterprise of
it's citizens. They are all proud
of their city and all are ready to put
their shoulders to the wheel and do
aught that may be necessary to up
build the city. Winchester is known
from one end of the State to the
other as up-to-date. If you talk to
travelling men in Louisville, Lex
f. ington, Owesboro or any place else,
about the various Kentucky towns,
you will invariably be told that
Winchester is the best town in the
State; that it is growing faster than
any other.
Its Commercial Club is held up as
a model to far larger cities. When
men have money to invest in new
enterprises, they look over the field
here and when they do, the Com
mercial Club sees that they come
: here, if it is possible to bring them.
This reputation means dollars and
cents to our citizens. 1t adds to
the income of our merchants. 1t
makes the products of our farms
more valuable.
Winchester has added more man
ufacturing plants in the last few
years than has Lexington, four
times as large in population. And
as the development of the noun
tains progresses, we will add still
faster.
Lexington added to its population
by taking in adjoining territory,
which really belonged to the city.
Winchester should do the same.
We have about 1900 people on the
outskirts that are part of the city
They ought to be within our limits.

CRAMPS TARIFF VIEWS.
Sound Like Heresy 10 the PrOtec-

sound Like Heresy 10 the PrOtec-
tiOniStS of the Country.
From the New York Post
In view OF the determination OF the
Republicans 10 go in for ship subsidies
in their platform, IT is decidedly migrate
ful and untimely Of Mr.. c. H. Cramp 70
propose taking Off tariff taxes as the real
need OF shipbuilders. In an interview IN
the Philadelphia Ledger. he says:
Without raw material free OF duty. II
IS impossible TO build steamships OF the
type OF the Lusitania and Mauretanla IN
the United States and place them on the
ocean in competition with England and
other foreign countries"
He added that he had worked for the
tariff for years. but was now convinced
that IT was inappIicable 10 the shipping
industry. we levy a tax upon all goods
that come into this country. but you can't
DO that with ships. and there is the
story Mr.. Cramp was even so cruel as
% deny that cheaper materials would
mean lower wages. We would still pay
high prices for skilled work, but would
expand our market and add greatly 70 the
number Of men employed" This Is rank
blasphemy IN the eyes OF all good pro-
tectionlsts, and something ought TO be
done TO punish Mr. Cramp. We suggest
that he be forbidden 20 contribute again
to the Republican campaign fund.
