 IS DEMANDED Uncle Sam Takes Deter

ANOTHER NOTE TO VENEZUELA
Claims of American Citizens Must
 Be Paid.
There is Every Reason to Believe That America Purpose. .o Act wlth Esersy in Thi.
 Matter.

Caracas. Venezuela, March 2, via Wil- lensted, Cnraco. March 3.--After an tn- tervaI of seven months. W. W. Rus sell tho American Minister to vene- zuela. has presented to the Government through President Castro. another note from the Washington Government. in- slsting on arbitration of claims of those American citizens who believe they have suffered injustice at tho hands of Venezuela. This action was taken by Mir. Russell on February 27. In this new note. Washington reiterates It's previous demands.
 Judgment Is expected momentariiy in the suit brought by the Government for the annullnent of the famous Fitz- gerald concession. now the property of the Orinoco Corporation.
 President Castro has twice refused to submit to arbitration the American claims mentioned In the foregoing dis patch. The last refusal was in July. 1907. The five claims which form the basis of the present negotiations are those of A. F Jauretk the Orinoco Cor poration, the Orinooo Steamship Com pany, the New. York and Bermuda Ass phalt Company and the United States and Venezuela Company. otherwise known as the Critchfield Concern. These claims run nomipaIly into millions of dollars.
 Jaurett was expelled from the coun- try. The Orinoc0 Corporation claims large concessions covering iron mines. asphalt privileges and hardwood con sessions. The Ortnoco Steamship Com pany claims exclusive rights Of naviga- ton on branches of the Orinoico river. the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Concefn, was barred on the right of the company to take asphalt from Feiicidad lake and the United States and yenezeula Company declares 1t asphalt and build a railroad. The mat ter of these claims came up in the sem ate February 2e when a joint reaolu- ton introduced by Senator Lodge. caIl- ing upon the state department for tbe papers in these cases. was adopted.
 There ih reason ta belihve that the American Government pufposes to act with energy in this matter During the last few months. President Castro has aRnuIied the various contracts made by his government with foreign CTS. including two English and one French company.

WON'T GIVE NAME
WHOSE LETTER WAS PUBLISHED
 MONDAY MORNING.
Governor Hughes Sends Message to Assembly in Regard to Ennct- tmg mm Antf-Race Track
 Gambling BfEl.

Albany. March Ex-Governor Hughes today sent to the Assembly a message declining to give the name of the all legged gambler whose letter, given out Sunday night at the executive cham- Der, and published yesterday morning, implied that 1t would be used to pre- vent the enactment of the anti-race track gambling bills.
 "I give no credence to any report that the members of your honorable body would be defiected from their manifest duty by any attempt. if any such were made. on the part of those who have vast interests at stake in the matter to corrupt their judgment" the message says, "on the contrary have implicit confidence that the Legislature, will carry into effect the constitutional mandate and will purge our State of this source of misery and vice which exists nnly because the will of the peo- pie, fiatly declared in the fundamental law. has not been carried Into effect
 Arrayed against the bill, the Gov ernor continues. stand those who would sacrifice the morals of our youth by extending the area of unnecessary temptation. who would infiict needless suffering upon helpless women and children, dependent upon the cultiva- ton of thrift and industry; and who would imperil the welfare of thousands of our people simply because of their selfish resource to make money out of gambling privileges. They fatten upon wretchedness and have the effrontery to demand that the laws of the state shall be adapted to their purposes.
 Your honorable body knows that pool selling and bookmaking at race tracks are not prevented by appropriate laws as the constitution requires. hut flourish substantially unrestricted under what amounts to legal protec- ton. This Is a scandal of the first order and q disgrace to the state. The bills are not aimed at racing or at property they are aimed at public gambling, prohibited by the constitu- ton. condemned by the moral sense of the people, irrespective of creed and conceded to be the prolific source of poyerity and crime"

A STAGGERING BLOW
TO THE INTERESTS OF FORAESER
 AND DICK.
Ohio Republican Convention Opens With Taft Men In Fail CoatrOl-- Secretary Garfaeld Receives
 REz Rvn4som

Columbus. O., March 3.--The Repub- licans of Ohio who met at D. m. to- day to hold their State Convention. dealt staggering blow to the inter- ests of Senators Foraker and Dick by wiping of the central committee every man who was known to have any bias in their favor.
 Of the twenty-one members of the new committee. eleven were reelected and of the ten changes made, seven were Foraker men, and all the For aker men on the committee.. The oth- CT three who were not reelected were all for Taft and their retirement was caused by local conditions alone.
 At a meeting of the committee held after the adjournment of the conven- ton, Walter J. Brown of Toledo. was reelected chairman and Martin Karsh- ner. of Columbus, secretary.
 The committee on permanent organi- zation of the convention decided to- night to report in favor of Attorney General Edward H. Ellis for permanent chairman. The pictures of Senators Foraker and Dick were hung in the convention hall and the platform which will be presented om:orrow has in it tonight a plank commenting the ohio representatives in Congress-" without, however, mentioning any of them by name. At the same time another plank which is also in the platform tonight, strongly endorses the passage of the railway rate bill against which Sena- tor Foraker fought so vigorously on the floor of the United States Senate.
 The convention-was called to order at 4foclocl< this afternoon by Chair man Walter J Brown. of the State Central Committee, who introduced the Rev. S. S@ Palmer. who made a short prayer.
 Chairman Brown announced that the temporary organization would be: Chairman. James R. Garfield. Secre- tary of the Interior: Secretary, R. M. Switzer
 The mention of Secretary Garneld's name was the signal for an outburst of applause. which was deepened when he advanced to the front of the platform to deliver his address. Cheers greeted every mention of the name of Taft and the prediction that Ohio was about to furnish another President, created a bedlam of applause.
 The fight for the minor places on the ticket continued hot all day ana there will be sharp contests on the floor of the convention tomorrow for Lieutenant Governor. Auditor, Treas urer and Attorney General. For the head of the ticket, Governor Andrew S. Harris win be renominated by ac- cIamation.
 There will be no contest for the delegates at large to the Republican National convention and Governor Harris. A. l.. Vorys, Charles P. Taft and Myron T. Herrick will be chosen.

New YorIx Awakened.


 New York. March 3.-The order of Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and Labor for the deporta- ton of such alien anarchists and crifn- inals as the law can reach will be en- forced promptly and vigorously by the local and Federal authorities working in harmony with the municipal police.
 Commissioner of Immigration Wat chorn Is keenly alive to the situation and his subordinates are already schooled in what is exepcted of them
 Police Commissioner Bingham to- night stated that the local police were exercising now every precautionary measure possible and that he would continue to do his best with the limit ed resources at his command. The commissioner has repeatedly urged the need of larger force. especially in the detective branch of the depart ment.
 Despite qualified denials justified by the secret nature of the work, 1t is known that a systematic campaign against those suspected of anarchistle sympathy has been quietly waged in this city for months.
 Special detectives are scattered throughout the Wall street section, the neighborhoods of the wealthy receive special attention and the haunts Of the suspected are closely watched
 A report that Archbishop Farley head of the Catholic Church in New York, had been threatened by anarch- ists. reached Commissioner Bingham today but he would not confirm 1t lat CT. The archbishop's.F subordinates. however. have been in communication with the police In ,an effort to hunt down the authors.
 In a formal statement tonight Mir. Eluehafn declared:
 ''The only foundation for the story concerning the threat made against Archbishop Farley is an anonymous letter received at police headquarters six months ago in which his name and the name of other prominent men were mentioned. This was a typical bug letter and no attention was paid to it. Every prominent man receives scores of ueh-letters and if any at tention were paid to them the re- cipients would never have any peace of mind
 There is no truth in the assertion that the force of patrolmen has been increased in the financial district be- cause of threats made against men do- ing business there."
 Of the additional police assigned to the financial district, the commissioner sad:
 "The force has been increased about twenty men and 1t Is partly true that they are there on account of a cir cuIar letter. Hege again Is another case which proves that if had secret service fund l could do good work in that line"
