Nevertheless, Declares the Venezuelan
 President, Commercial Conditions Re-

 ic Relations Were Severed-Nether-

 Minister at caraess-Sees Hope For
 Small Nations In Hague Tribunal.
 Caracas, Aug. II. - Deviating from his usual custom of not speaking for publication. President Castro granted an interview concerning Venezuela and her troubles with foreign powers, which recently have been augmented by his expulsion from the republic of the Dutch minister. M. de Reus.
 T am glad to give my opinion on this historic moment" said President Castro. T only wish everybody the peace and harmony that exist with the good commercial relations which small nations need. To create diplomatic agents who humble weak nations is an anomalous counteractive.
 If the powers will not fulfill the great idea that the great international tribunal shall decide disputes by arbi- tration and not by force. they commit suicide.
 Objects to Use of Force.
 Reason would have acquired pres tige and force would not prevail today if. when the bIockaders used force against us. friendly nations had adopt cd peaceful measures to settle the out standing questions. The incorporation against us of those nations considered as friends completely destroyed the right of reason and placed all of them in the category of favoring force in the solution of difficulties. The dues- tion of the use of force in the coIlec- tion of debts was carried before The Hague peace conference. but we weak nations saved our rights there.
 Tn spite of all Venezueia will con- tinue fin peaceful development. because this question has been settled and pos terior events are only incidents. We at first paid the blockaders of our ports because of the dominance of force The decision that terminated i. this state of affairs was that Of the high Hague tribunal Today Venezue- Ia punctusIIy pays her debts and full fills all her obligations.

 Body Bearing Marks of Human Teeth
 and Search Is Being Made For Two Men Who Hired Him Strangers
 Looked Upon With Suspicion by Ma
 tives, Who Fear to Accept Employ
 n1ent In Forest of Wild Country.
 Ottawa. Aug. 11.-There no longer is doubt that August Lemieux. a miss ing guide of the Mistassini lake cOun- try, was slain and eaten by two men who employed him to show them the way to Lake wahwanipi.
 woodsmenl who have searched the region for their missing colleague re- port they found the remnants of his body and buried them. They say they are on the trail of the cannibals and hope to come up with them.
 The extraordinary case has created eonsternatlon throughout the country. and guides are fearful about engaging themselves to strangers passing through the forests. There is appre- hension in the Lake Chiboubamoo re- zion that the cannibals may become bolder and slay settlers in lonely places. The uncanny character of the strangers has led to armed men mak. ing q search of the forests for many miles.
 The rerihcation of the story that remnants of the body of Lemieux had been found showing all the indications of human teeth has come in the form of an affidavit signed by the nine wcodsmen who went out to seek the missing guide.
 The woOdsmcn stfIl are in the wild ChibOubamoo district. but their report is circumstantial and shows that they came upon what was Iemieux's body. They swear they will not return untfl they have run down the man eaters.
 What trace the searching woodsmen have of the men is not known. It ia the widest kind of country. and it probably will he many days before the nine man hunters report again.

WILL TELL GOSSIPS' NAMES
Preacher to Try New Method to
Squelch Women Takers.
Plans to Devote One Sunday in
Every Month to the New
System.

Utica, n. =, June I-Rev. Mr.. Mac
Ilravy. the Little Falls preacher whose
campaign against the evil OF gossip!ng
has brought him considerable notOriety
and. incidentally, a great deal Of com
mendation from religious workers IN vari-
Gus sections Of the United States. an
nounced that after considerable expert
menting. no had hit upon a plan which
he believes Will accomplish the silencing
OF the wagging tongues Of the women of
Little Falls and vicinity
He said that in Little Falls there are
just twelve fountain heads Of gossip. and
he said that these twelve might well be
matched against all the other gossipers
Of the country and they would win prizes
in contests. In order to curb the loose
tongues, Mr.. MacIlravy announced that
he had decided 10 set apart one Sunday
Of the month to squelching gossipers.
He will on that day recite the gossip
without the names OF the victims. but
with the names Of the gossipers. In this
way the public will become acquainted
some who are not far behind.
OF course, few people go to Mr.. Mac
Ilravy with the gossip, but it appears
that he uses repOrtorial methods, assisted
by his knowledge of sociology and GRIM
inology He indicates very plainly that
he considers gossiping stealing from the
good names of mankind"-a kind of wrong
to be classed with crime.
He says he has taken up gossiping lust
as others take up temperance. poverty.
and similar topics for specialties.

LIFE OFFERED TO SCIENCE
Baltimore Woman TO Be Inoculated
with Consumption.
New York Physician Certain thHt lie
Can Cure the Dread
Disease.

New York. June Ready 10 give her
life in the interests Of science, a Baltl-
more woman to-day offered TO permit Dr.
c. S. Carroll, Of Broadway and Seventy
third street. to inoculate her with tuber-
culosis germs, just as he has done with
Frank Merritt, who. DR.. Carroll said, VIII
live
IF the woman's family consents. I will
accept her offer" said DR.. Carroll. Il
know that I can cure her II I inoculate
with the germs Of consumption. but I will
not undertake the experiment unless her
friends freely join IN the request"
The woman wrote that her grandmother
had died OF consumption. and that she
feared that other members Of her family
would fall victims 10 the dread disease.
If can do anything TO check the aw-
full disease, take me. she wrote.
Merritt will live" said Dr. Carroll to-
day. discussing the case Of the mysterious
man who two weeks ago went into the
doctors office declared he didn't care
whether he lived or died, and offered 10
let DR.. Carroll I'LL his lungs with tubercu-
lous bacilli.
The physician. confident that his method
or treating cons umptlon would not fail
accepted Merritt's offer. and at once
inoculated him with virus from a con-
sumptive patient.
"Merritts lungs are half solid with
tubercular matter stated DR.. Carroll to-
day. IAN examination Of his sputum
shows that the bacilli are present in great
numbers.
After the inoculation he coughed and
breathed very hard. but the treatment is
beginning TO work and his coughing is
gradually decreasing. The breathing is
normal He had a good night and is eat
ing well. There is no question about his
recovery"
Merritt. who is confident that he will
not die, said to-day:
THE average individual cannot under
stand why any one should be so self
sacrificing as TO voluntarily take chances
to contract this terrible malady without
hope of reward. pecuniary or otherwise
and TO face perhaps years OF suffering
and final death, that others may reap
the reward. To such people I have
only this to say: I believe that I owe
something to the world and humanity. as
have not been the most exemplary citi-
zen. and this seems 10 be the only way
in which can square myself

Special 10 The Washington Herald
Atlanta, Ga, June Ia little Roosevelt
second elective Germ boom started in the
little town Of Roswell. Ca. a few weeks
ago, Is developing proportions that are
calculated 20 make the entire nation sit
up and take notice. II Il. continues 70 grow
during the next two weeks as It has in
the past two.
Roswell Is the old home Of the Presi-
dents mother, and thereabout her name
Is held in great reverence.
A Democratic ex-mayor Of the cor
poration, R. C. Broadweu by name.
started a petition TO the President some
sixty days ago. begging him to accept
another nomination. out Of a total Of 2Ol
voters in the city. all white. ia signed
the request. two declined to sign. and the
remainder were not IN the place at the
time the petition was circulated. The
news Of this spread throughout Georgia.
and within a few days the ex-mayor was
flooded with letters from all over Dixie
from people begging 70 be enrolled in the
Roswell Roosevelt Club.
One List Has 500 Names.
In Cobb County the home OF United
States Senator Clay. where Roswell Is
located. more than 800 names have been
put on the list.
One hundred and twenty additional peti-
tions have been put out. upon voluntary
request from parts other than those here
tofore mentioned, until to-day the total
number Of Georgians who are demanding
the recollection Of the President has passed
the astonishing figure of $4,000. This rep
resents one-hfth the entire voting strength
of the State, and nine out Of ten sigma
lures are Democratic.
There is not one negro in the entire lot
No negro has been asked TO sign, and
none will be, at least until the white
lists are completed. Then negro sigma
lures may be accepted when volunteered.
Others Get the Fever.
other bordering States have caught
wind OF the movement so modestIy started
by ex-Mayor Broadwell. and he is being
flooded with kilograms, letters. and mes
sages demanding that their authors be
allowed 70 get IN the game. It is esti-
mated that not less than 10000 names
will go on the Georgia petitions alone
within another two weeks.
This evidence OF Georgia's determine
tiion not to abide by even the Presidents s
own decision in this matter is one Of the
most astounding events in the political
history Of the State. II has knocked the
old-time politicians silly.
There is no Taft enthusiasm in the
Cracker State. absolutely none. On the
contrary. the most astute politicians de-
clare that Roosevelt can sweep Georgia

As between Taft and Bryan, the latter
will win hands down.
