toms adopted children. He is the ad-
ministrator de bonis non of Washing,
toms estate. The claim is for 5000
acres of land in the Virginia military
district of Ohio said to have been en-
tered on land warrants by Washington
before his death. which land was after
ward taken up by others because Wash
ington's entries were not recorded. The
value of the lands was not more than
$4,000 in WashingtOn's time. What it
would have been now is predetermined,
but. under the circumstances $31O5W
is q large sum.
The matter was first brought before
Congress in 1907. 1t came up again IN
1852 but was not pushed at that time
by the Washington heirs. In 1899 Con-
gress enacted that all Virginia military
warrants not surrendered within year
should be invalid. The heirs did nothing
within the time specified, but are now
asking for the considerable sum re-
ferred to. 1t is too large. Let the
Washington estate have 1000 acres OF
good public land elsewhere, and let the
heirs be content with that.-kVenlDS

fight at !. dance of St. Mary's Slavonian
guards at Schlitz park hall Sunday,
through offering to pay for numerous
treats with trading stamp, which
ended in his arrest on an assault and
battery charge.
Jack Lancin. a bartender, was the
butt of BUdy's attentions and testified in

CASTRO RECEIVES
AMERICAS De MAND
WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT AGAIN
ASKS FOR ARBITRATION OF
VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
HAVE BEEN REFUSED TWICE,
Judgment in Famous Fitzgerald Case
Is Expected at ANY
Time.
FIVE CLAIMS NOW INVOLVED.

CARACAS, Venezuela, March B
After an interval of seven months, W..
w. Russell, the American minister to
Venezuela, has presented to the govern
ment of President Castro another note
from the Washington government insist
ing upon arbitration Of claims OF those
American citizens who believe they have
suffered injustice at the hands OF Vene-
zuela.
This action was taken by Mr.. Russell
on February q. In this new note
Washington reiterates its previous &c
mandS.
Judgment Expected Soon.
Judgment is expected momentarily III
the suit brought by the government Tor
the annulment of the famous fltzgeralo q
concession, now the property OF the
Ornco corporation.
President Castro has twice refused to
submit the American claims to arbltra-
ton. The last refusal was IN July, 19o!'
The five claims which form the basis
of the present negotiations are those OF
A. +. Jaurett, the Orinoco corporation;
the Orinoco Steamship company, the
New York and Bermudez Asphalt COM
pany, and the United States and Vene-
zuela company, otherwise known as the
CritchfeId concern. These claims ran
nominally into millions OF dollars.
Story of the Claim.
Jaurett was expelled from the coun-
try. The Orinoco corporation CLAIMS
large concessions covering iron mines,
asphalt privileges and hardwood conces-
sions. The Orinoco Steamship company
claims exclusive rights of navigation on
branches of the Orinoco river. The New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company
claim was based on the report OF the
company to take asphalt from La Fele-
cidad lake, and the United States and
Venezuela company declares it has been
deprived of the right to mine asphalt
and build a railroad. The matter OF
this claim came up in the Senate Feb
ruary % when a joint resolution, intro
duced by Senator Lodge, calling. on the
state department for the papers in these
cases. was adopted. There is reason to
believe that the American government
purposes to act with energy i'll this mat
ter. .
During the last few months President
Castro has annulled the various con-
tracts made by his government with
foreigners, including two English ana
one French company.

FIX A GAS STANDARD.
Railway Commission Confers with the
Light Companies and Hears
Expert Opinions.

MADISON, Wis, March 81 Special. ]
The railroad rate commission held a
conference today with representatives of
the different gas and electric companies
of the state, regarding the fixing of a
standard for gas and electricity. Most
of the time was spent in discussing gas
standards. The discussion was almost
entirely regarding technicalities of the
gas business.
Prof, Burgess, the gas expert for the
commission, in discussing the accuracy
of meters, said he believed a standard
should be fixed so that when meter ran
2 per cent. too slow or l per cent. too
fast it should be readjusted. Out of
fifty-nine meters inspected in one city,
thirty-One ran too fast.
Paul Doty, head of the St. Paul Gas
company, maintained a variation of 2
per cent. should be allowed either way.
Dr. E. I. Hyde, representative of the
bureau on standard weights and meas
ures in Washington, appeared and urged
the adoption of standards similar to
those used in some other state and by
the federal government.
City Inspector Somers of Milwaukee
said a heating standard should be fixed
which should be gross instead of the
present net standard of 600 British Their
