FEWER LUxURIES.
Heavy Decline in Importation OF Auto
tOmobiles and Jewelry.


New York, April 4.-Heavy falling
off in importation of luxuries during
the month of March is reported by
appraiser George w. Wanamaker OF
the port of New York. The total
value OF automobiles imported during
the month was $127,940, a scant third
Of automobile importations during
March of last year. The most remark
able falling off, however, is that OF
precious stones and jewelry.
The total value for March was $685.
514, about three million below the
value of diamonds and pearls imported
in March, 1907.
The appraisers figures show little
variation in the importations of sta
Piles. Indeed, the sugar importations
were SO per cent heavier than in
March OF last year, while the value of
imports of groceries, wines. tobacco,
etc, reaches q total of about $4,000
900 as against approximately $4,000
600 in March, 1907.

CASTRO. WOULD LAUGH.
II This Country Undertook to Make
Reprisals on Venezuela.

New York, April 4.-The plar to
make reprisals upon Venezuela for
her failure to come to terms with the
United States on the question of
pending American claims by laying
an embargo upon Venezuelan prod
ucts. forbidding their importation
into this country is declared by the
New York merchants engaged in the
Venezuelan trade and familiar with
its conditions to be futile. Alfred
Debuys, an official of a prominent
with Venezuela. speaking of the plan
to place an embargo on Venezuela
asphant and enact a practically pro-
hibittve duty on coffee from that
country, said:
SHOULD the attempt be made to
enforce a policy so ill advised Castro
would simply laugh at us. To en-
force such an embargo would entail
endless difficulties and even though
we should compel all Venezuelan
products to be plainly stenciled from
Venezuela that country would easily
find a market for her goods else
where. Should the attempt be made
as is reported to check the exporta-
ton OF American products to
Venezuela as well as the importation
islands of Curacao and Trinidad
lying close to the Venezuela coast
would afford such tempting facilities
for the evasion of the embargo by
American shippers that we should be
likely soon to find ourselves en-
broiled on one hand with Great
Britain, which owns Trinidad and on
the other hand with Holland as

ROWDY BALL PLAYER.
Observation-Disclosures Game MARRIED by
Disgraceful Assault.

The Baker, Washburn baseball game
Friday was marred by the rowdy ac-
ton of one of the Baker players. The
Baker second baseman, w. Lewis, re-
fused to play if the scheduled umpire,
Lynn Bloom, an ex-Baker baseball
player, was allowed to serve. Bloom
was agreed upon by both managers but
on learning of dissatisfaction, COM
placently took the bench in favor of
Stahl When reclining on the ground
during the game Lewis assaulted
Bloom without provocation or warning.
Such an unwarranted attack received
it's reward from the grandstand.
AS another evidence of bad taste of
the country school nine class was when
Mason with the game in his pocket,
got sore at his Jumps and quit the
game at the first of the eighth inning.
After much coaxing on the part of fell
low team members Mason finally de-
cided to finish the game for his Alma
