man before the people to-day, save
alone Theodore Roosevelt, who II the

CASTRO WANTS FRANCE
TO ARBITRATE TROUBLE
German Government Believes
VeneZuela's President Intends
to STAY in Europe

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-There is an evi-
dent desire on the part of President
Castro to effect an arrangement of the
outstanding difficulties between Vene-
zuela and France. He authorized dip
lomat today to make the following
statement:
4 believe it would be very easy. to
bring aboutAa a renewal of relations be-
tween Venezuela and France by sub
hitting the questions at issue TO arbi-
tration.'
Castro had a lengthy conference with
a prominent representative of the Ger
man foreign Office. The subject matter
of the interview is not known
A further consultation between Cas-
tro and Dr. Israel took place this aft
ernoon. The surgeon advised Castro
to remain quiet.
The feeling is also growing here that
Castro left South America not because
Of illness, but to escape political tur-
moil, and that he has no intention of
returning. The German government has
information stating that it is uncertain
whether Vice President Gomez will be-
come president of the republic or
whether PROVISIONAL government will
be organized under another head. Co
mez is believed to be still true to
Castro.

KOREAN ADMITTED
FIRING AT STEVENS
Two Witnesses in Chang Trial
Give Damaging Testimony .
Against Alleged Slayer
Diplomat in Antemortem State
ment Intimated That He
Aided Hermit Kingdom

8 Two witnesses on the stand in Judge
Cooks court yesterday at the trial of
T. w. Chang, charged with the murder
of Durham White Stevens, gave dam
aging testimony against the Korean.
Henry Owens. policeman, was the
first witness called. and he related how
Chang had admitted firing three shots
at Stevens and also declared that the
Korean recognized the revolver with
which the shooting was done. Owens
reiterated the testimony given by for
mer witnesses concerning the declara-
ton made by Chang that Stevens had
taken money from Korea and had
turned sit" over to Japan. The trouble
some pronoun bobbed up again despite
efforts to prevent the statement from
entering the records of the case.
You ignorant fool. You don't know
what I did for your country. was the
dying statement attributed to Stevens
by James ]. Hourihan. bond and war
rant clerk who took Stevens ante
mortem statement Hourihan also tes-
titled that Stevens pointed at Chang
while the former was a cot in the
central emergency hospital, saying,
And this one shot me-" The witness
testified that Chang declared at the
hospital that he was glad he had killed
Stevens.
Considerable comment arose during
the afternoon after Attorney John J.
Barrett declared. in questioning u wit
ness, that Stevens had entered the pri-
vate chamber of the emperor of Korea
and forced the ruler TO sign a treaty
which the people of the country did
not sanction. The question was OBJ
Jected to by the prosecution and was
subsequently stricken out.

cording to the argument advanced by
Field. He said that eight canneries
in California had lost s150,000 on this
years pack on account of the minimum
amounts of shipments that the rail-
road companies would take.
Collins argued against the proposed
increase of 16 2-3 per cent in the rates
on beer and malt products. shipped
