The next step was the formation OF
a new company, which took in all the
old stockholders except Castro. Then
there was issued an order by the
criminal court to have the $4,000,
which corresponded to the per cent
purchase price of the Castro stock de-
posited in the bank of Venezuela to
the order of whoever might be the
holder of this block Of stock So in one
day one million dollars Of good money
became fifty thousand.
But the worst was yet to come. This
$4,000 awakened the cupidity OF
more than one lawyer. so it was i'm
mediately attached by individuals who
have lawsuits pending against Castro
for the recovery Of properties and
damages.
The sequel to this story Of high
finance" was the sudden arrival a few
days ago Of a German named Theo-
dore Hauer with the million dollars OF
cigarette shares in his pocket, which
he claims belong to him by virtue
purchase from General Castro He has
engaged counsel and will begin action
against the perpetrators Of the alleged
Illegal reorganization.
What has been done with Castro s
cigarette stock is an exact repetition
Of the process used to GUST him fror
the company which controls the mo-
nopolv Of navigation Of the Orinoco
river and by which his large block OF
stock was made worthless.

Caracas, Aug. 1.-THE systematic
spoilation of the fortune which for
mer President Castro left behind him
in Venezuela has proceeded with such
gigantic strides that, after the first
six months, the S5.00OO00 OF known
assets have been almost totally wiped
out.
The method by which 100000 OF
Castro's property was reduced to $50
900. and this paltry remainder then
taken away from him, will probably be
a revelation even to Castro himself,
who is now having a taste of the same
medicine which he administered to
the Venezuelan people for so many
years.
Castro owned 100000 worth Of
cigarette shares. which had been given
to him as his share in the promotion
of the cigarette trust. A few weeks ago
the directors of the cigarette company
sold the 100000 concern to a pri-
vate Individual, Senior Garcia Guerra,
for S25OOOO. or just per cent Of its
capitalized value, and Notwithstanding
that on the same day Of the sale the
shares were quoted on the exchange
at 25 per cent premium.

The only reduction in coal for stor-

the reduction Of . cents per ton for

cided to make from the mines TO Utah
common points. The mines have prac-
tically refused to make a reduction for
storage purposes. stating that it costs
them the same price for mining in the
summer as in the winter. and the rail-
road freight men report that the dealers
have also refused to enter into any
agreement to lower the rates 70 Gus

NO DIFFICULTY
WITH HARTMAN
Louis w. Hill of Great North
ern Puts QuietuS on Sen
SatiOnal RumOrS.

ST. Paul, Mimi, April 13.-Louis W
Hill, president Of the Great Northern
railway. returned today from a visit
to The Pacific coast. He said that the
last remaining difficulty of operation
between the Hartman and Hill inter
ests on the coast had been settled by
an agreement between himself and z.
H. Hartman, by which the Hill road
would secure a part ownership in the
terminal at Portland. and go in there
as a bedfelioW with the Hartman IN
terests.
Incidentally. ne declared that the
Harrimau-Hili feud. so-called. was re
markable only for its non-existence.
There never was any Harriman-Hill
feud." he said. THAT was all a news
paper dream. Certainly. there has been
and will continue to be a sharp compe-
tition. That's true of every business.
There have been business contentious
between Tire Hartman and Hill inter
ests. That's natural enough, isn't it.
considering the immense amount of
capital invested and the territory COW
cred and the business handled?"
Misrepresentation Charged.
My meeting with Mr.. Hartman on
titE tOdSAs ne tOAlAlfluFls " dS liiASAGi-
resented by the San Francisco papers
so fiagrantly that I felt called upon to
deny the stories they printed through
the Associated Press. They had US
wanting to join issues and split up ter
ritory. which in the first place would
be criminal"
1T would be conspiracy, wouldn't it?
Looked like il to me. The true sit
uatiOn was that we wanted to get into
Portland. and made all necessary pur-
chases to put up an Independent station
for our terminal But the Portland
people did not want another station;
they wanted a union station. We were
willing to go in. but not as Hartman
tenants. We wanted to own an inter-
est in the terminal. On the coast Mr..
Hartman and I talked it over and de-
cided to settle it on the spot. In twen-
ty minutes I made a proposition which
satisfied him. and he took it back with
him to submit to the directors. So the
last obstruction has been removed"
What about the -talked-of fight
of the Hill interests to keep Hartman
out Of Scatter"

cut off a strip of our property and sold
it to Hartman to let him into Seattle,

dandruf cure to no effect whatever.
And l used quinine preparation quite

it was the effect Of the fever or some
