WERE PLANNING TO ROB
Mysterious Case Of Men Injured In
Dynamite Explosion.

Rutland, July 10.-There now re-
mains no question in the minds of the
officials making investigation into
the accidental blowing up Of three
men at Proctor a week ago today,
that the men were preparing an ex-
plosive which they intended to use
for unlawful purposes.
Some new evidence has been Sc
cured which duplicates them, prob
ably, with the robberies committed
in the stations of the Rutland rail
road at Proctor and Pittsford and the
attempt at Fowler.
One of the men. James Hill, is at
the house of correction, being held
for safe keeping, while the other two
men, Bryson and Carter, are in such
bad shape that they cannot leave the
Proctor hospital.
When the men were first asked how
long they had been in the vicinity of
fNctor they told story about recent
ly leav1us Springfield, Mass, and COM
ing in this direction looking for
work. The officials conducting the
investigation now have proof that
the men nad been III the vicinity OF
Proctor and Pittsford for two weeks.
One of the officials stated yesterday:
There IL almost no doubt that these
men were the ones that committed
the robberies but the next question
is to obtain the proof. We intend
conducting a more minute investiga-
tion."
That the entire affair is being TAX
en- seriously is shown from the fact
that private detectives are said to
have been employed to look into the
case. Yesterday a man who claimed
to come from Boston was about the
city with pictures of the men taken
in their beds at the Proctor hospital,
inquiring of the Rutland saloon keep
ers If they had served such men a
week ago yesterday, None of the
men were recognized here.

ARE NO LONGER ON

Diplomatic Relations With
Venezuela Severed
WASHINGTON LEGATION OVER
Inability to Obtain Satisfaction for the
confiscatIon Of American Property
Causes Rupture.

Washington, July 10.-The diplo-
matte relations between America and
Venezuela that have existed uninter-
rupted for more than half century,
though in recent years severely
strained, are now completely severed
Senior Veloz Golticoa, the Venezuelan
charge d'affaires, called at the state
department by appointment yester-
day to present to Acting Secretary
Bacon notice from his government
that he was to close up the Venezuela
an legation in Washington.
Senior Veloz said that he would
leave Washington tomorrow and pro-
coed to New York, from there to sail
for Venezuela Saturday.
The reason for the withdrawal
of the American legation at Caracas
arose from the persistent refusal Of
Venezuela TO give redress for the
governmental action by which all Am
erican interests in Venezuela were
either destroyed or confiscated or to
submit the claims of American citi-
zens to arbitration.
There are five claims against the
Venezuela government which the
American government has been max
ing efforts to secure settlement Of
these claims for long time.
Secretary Root took up the matter
in February, 1907, in letter to Mini
ster Russell and instructed him TO
demand redress. Mr. Russell, how
ever, was unable to obtain any salts
faction from the Castro government,
which adhered to its position that
there was no reason why Venezuela
should arbitrate the claims. Then
President Roosevelt decided to send
the whole correspondence to Con-
gress, and leave to that body to de-
termine what, If any thing, should be
done by this government to bring
Castro to terms.
