CARACAS TURNS
AGAINST CASTRO
fcnntinnod from PAge ono

from Caracas this morning but they
mentioned nothing of the kind"
President Castro was asked for an
expression of his views regarding Hol-
lands seizure of Venezuelan ships, but
referred the correspondent to Senior
VeIoz Goiticoa, Venezuelan charge
Taffaires, whom he authorized to talk
fo, him. The charge then said;
81 doubt what has been published
with regard to Hollands aggression,
because no declaration of war has
been made, nor has blockade been
announced and none established
Therefore the seizure Of small Nene-
z1eIan vessels by sheer force cannot
he described other than as an act or
piracy, unworthy of any enlightened
civilized country.
ION the other hand, such course
would jeopardize the arrangements
which Venezuela has proposed to Hol-
land through confidential agreements
and could even have worse erect
inasmuch as Venezuela in meeting
Davments due to Holland takes for
that purpose a portion of the pre-
scribed 80 per cent of the customs re-
CENTS. Thus Hollands act might place
Venezuela in a position of being unable
to continue payments and would jeop-
ardize the interests of other nations.
'sHolland is in the wrong and IS still
more involved through the attitude
which the Dutch government recently
adopted"

insurgents Hold MEETING

Another step toward amending the
rules of the house was taken tonight
when the Insurgents held a mass meet
ing. The report of the committee APP
pointed at the insurgents meeting last
week was submitted. although the COM
mittee had much difficulty in reaching
an agreement.
Col. Hepburn, chairman of the com
mittee. informed the gathering that
the committee had decided some change
in the method of selecting committees
in the house was desirable.
1t had been agreed that the rules
should be changed so that one DAY each
week should be set aside exclusively Tor
the call of the committees.
In regard to the change in the method
of choosing committees the report was
a compromise, the committee refusing
to agree to the proposition that steer
ing committee be elected by the mousse
to select the committees.
Col. Hepburn, in making his report
recommended the election of commit
tee of nine members of the house 70
choose the committees, the committees
themselves to elect their own chairman
This suggestion met with opposition
and led to a prolonged discussion.
No action was taken on the recon-
mendations, as it was believed more
time should be given to considering the
change. The meeting adjourned to
meet in January. Hayes of California
was among those present.

The wife of Judge Hargis is using
the money which her husband left to
her with which to defend the patrl-
eide. Her brother, w Floyd Bird, is
assisting the prosecution.
The murder was committed in the
store of Judge Hargis in the county

CITIZENS STATE BANK OF
NAPOLEON, OHIO, CLOSES

NAPOLEON, Ohio, Dec. 16.-The
Citizens State bank was assigned to
d. d. Donovan last night. The fail
ure is said to have been caused by
poor loans and it is also stated that
it was brought about by the Ohio Ger
man Insurance company's failure.
The failure is said to be due to
over-loans made by Cashier Groll to
Judge Michael Donpelly president of
the Ohio German Fire Insurance COM
pany and the ASSIGNMENT is also said
to be the direct result of the recent
failure of the insurance company.
These loans to Donnelly, it is al
legged were made without the authority
of the other officials of the bank.
The Citizens bank was considered
strong, and as a result of the assign
ment great excitement prevails in Ma
poleon. The banks deposits amount
TO $685., 600.

Gisela is the home of Jno. Mo- Cormick, and Gisela is proud of him too. His record in the legis- lature is straight and clean.
 A story is told on Mir. McCor- mick which shows his integrity. One day he went on note of $500 for friend and when it came due he was called on to pay it. He had nothing but pony but went after the mail contract between Payson and Pleasant Valley and paid this note little each month out of his salary. Today MT. Mccormick numbers his friends by the hundreds and deserves every voters support.
