Williams insists that he was acting
entirely within his constitutional

Il intend to go right ahead with
this iilibuster, demanding remedial
legislation such as the president has
demanded, and unless the president

MAY
GET AUTHORITY
FROM CONGRESS TO DEAL WITH
VENEZUELA IN BEST WAY
POSSIBLE.
RESOLUTION DRAFTED
To Present to Congress Result OF
Conferences Between CulIom,
Roosevelt and Root--Castro
Should Be Spanked.

! Washington, April Is -Frcm a mum
ibcr of conferences which Chairman
| Cullom of the senate committee or
foreign relations has had recently
with President Roosevelt and Secre
tary Root, 1t is now probable that be
fore the adjournment cf the present
congress, blanket authority will be
voted to the president to proceed
against Venezuela In such manner as
subsequent events may require to up.
hold the dignity of the United States
to protect the interests OF American
citizens.
Resolution giving such authority to
the president have been drafted by
Cullom and approved by the president
and Root, 1t provides in general terms
that the president shall have power 20
deal with Venezuela in the matter Of
adjusting the controversy with that
country concerning the wrongs done
10 American citizens and corporations
in Venezuela by reason Of the III
treatment they have received at the
hands OF President Castro.
Under such authority the admin.
lstration would again demand sub
mission to arbitration OF the claims of
American citizens and corporations
against Venezuela. Treaties on the
subject of general arbitration and the
use of force IN the recovery of debts
ratified by the senate In the last few
weeks, obligste the United States to
follow this line Of procedure. On
several occasions the American gnr.
nrnment hasy without success called
upon Castro 10 arbitrate the claims.
If the resolution giving general al
thorlty to President Roosevelt TO pre-
coed against Venezuela as he sees fit
Is adopted by this congress, and II In
that event Castro should continue IN
his present attitude, there Is no ques
tion that the American government
would have power to resort TO force
The president believes Castro Is try.
ing to bluff this government; Root be.
lieves the dignity of the diplomatic
branch of government has been
trampled upon, and Cullcm and other
members of the foreign relations com
mittee of senate believe, to use the
words, that President
Castro needs spanking Undoubted
ly any plan of procedure agreed upon
by the senate will be followed by the
house.
The senate committee on foreign re
Iations viii consider the Venezuelan
which was received In
response to Lodges resolutions when
it meets next Wednesday, IL is not
ilikely that the program Suggested
will be completed In time to report
on that day, but everything now points
to an early agreement ON a plan which
will give the administration a free
hand TO act in such manner as the
situation may demand.

COMPANY DRILLS
ATTRACT HUNDREDS
This, Military Day, Is Turned
Over to the Tenth
Infantry.
SCENE ABOUT THE CAMP.
SOLDIERS HUDDLE AROUND THE
CAMP FIRES SPINNING THEIR
ARMY YARNS AND LISTENING
TO VETERANS OF '61.

Hundreds of people were attracted
to Glen Miller this morning to witness
the company drills on the. big field just
north of the chautauqua grounds,
grounds, where the Tenth infantry is
in camp. The companies marched to
the parade grounds in battalions. then
each company went to different sec
tions of the parade ground and execut-
ed their field movements such as only
the regular soldiers know how to do
just right.
Never has prettier sight been seen
at the big park. The soldier boys, all
looking business like in their new olive
drab uniforms and carrying the latest
model service rifle, a dangerous look
ing weapon, went through the drills
with precision that won the admira-
tion of the big. crowd.
While the four companies of one bat
talon would be drilling on the parade
ground, the soldiers of the other two
battalions Rugged the camp fires
brightly burning on the company
streets,
go down to one of those campfire
gatherings and keep your ears wide
open. At each one you will find con-
firmed liar spinning yarns" remarked
an officer to newspaper man.
Near one of the fires stood a veteran
of the civil war going through the
manual or arms before an admiring
bunch of troopers. IF the union sol
diers had been armed with rifle like
this, the civil war would not have last
ed half as long as it did. The old gun
we used in those days operated at both
ends. Many a time I was knocked fiat
on my back after firing charge"
Another old soldier, who fought for
the ''lost cause" under that prince of
daredevil cavalry leader, Gen. John
Morgan. was showing to group of in,
terested young soldiers a book which
spread fire and sword through Indiana
and Ohio.
This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock there
will be regimental parade at Athletic
park, South Twenty-third street, and IL
is expected there will be an immense
crowd present.
The plan Of the military committee
of the fall festival to give each soldier
a half pie at the noon mess yesterday
fell through with. owing to the fact
that the officers of the regiment refus
ed TO allow their men TO eat pie.
"They have hard march ahead OF
them, and pie is liable to bring on in
direstion " said the officers As a re.
suit of this edict there was much
growing among the enlisted men, but
your regular soldier is confirmed
growler.
This is the best town l ever hit,
confided one soldier to his bunkie this
morning Good Lord. but had one o1
those best times last night at the
dance. Did you ever see burg thai
had as many good-looking girls?"

Joseph N. Schultz Surprised
At Many Changes in
Richmond.
is A CIVIL WAR VETERAN,
HE SERVED AS A WATERBOY ON
ONE OF THE FIRST TRAINS
RUNNING Between RICHMOND
AND INDIANAPOLIS.

After an absence from the city that
continued fifty-two years, Joseph n.
Schultz. returned this week to attend
the fall festival and note the prosperity
which the city has encountered during
the past half century. Mr.. Schultz is
the guest of his nephew, John Snave-
ly, claim agent for the Panhandle rail-
road. At present he is recorder at the
Soldiers Home at Marion. Words fail
ed the grizzled veteran, when he en-
deavored to express his surprise at the
progress Richmond has made in the
past fifty-two years, and he remarked
time and again upon the changes
wrought by time.
1t would be hard to find a more in
teresting conversationalist. He is in
teresting at any time. but was espe-
cially so Tuesday afternoon. He had
just seen the Tenth United States in
fantry march into the city, and his
hSuAS was lliiCu with anu lliS
mind replete with the thrilling memoir
les recalled to him by the sight of the
regular army boys.
Mr.. Schultz was waterboy on one of
the first trains that ran between Rich
mond and Indianapolis. He remem-
bered we'll the progress Of the railroads
through this section of the state in the
early days. But best of all. he likes to
talk about the days Of the civil war. He
is fond of recalling the stirring scenes
on the battlefield of Shiloh, and as he
watched the regulars pass in review he
said they recalled to him the arrival of
reinforcements when that battle seem
ed sure to be lost and following that
the turn of the tide for the union
forces
