TO SIGN CONTRACTS
FOR LARGE CANALS
Last Objectionable Features Removed
and Secretary Garfield Expected
Soon to Authorize
Work

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-An OBJ
stacles to the signing by Secretary Of
the Interior Garfield of the contract
for the construction Of the Grand Val
ley irrigation project in Colorado,
which has been withheld because Of
what he believed to be an objection
able clause, it is believed, have been
removed. IS
It is expected that the contract win
be signed in a few days. The main
canal, as it was projected, would par
allel and cross the Denver and Rio
Grande railway at several points, and
the attorneys for the company had in
serted in the contract a provisional OBJ
legation on the government to assume
responsibility for damage to the right
of way Of that line and for injuries to
Workmen employed during the prog
ress of the work.
Secretary Garfield objected to this
clause and declined to sign unless it
was modified or eliminated. AS the
result Of a conference with George
Gould and President Jeffrey Of the
Denver and Rio Grande by d. w. Aup-
perle of Grand Junction, Colo, who rep
resents the interests of the farmers
along the railroad, Mr.. Gould has di-
rected that the clause be changed to
comply with the government conten-
ton.

BRITISH RULERS
HIGHLY ELATED
KING AND QUEEN ARRIVE IN
LONDON ENTHUSED
REMARKABLE WELCOME TEN.
DERED ROYAL PARTY
Antagonism Against Germany Appears
to Have Ceased-Aims and
Policies Discussed by
Subjects
fBy Associated Press.1

LONDON, Feb. 13-The reception in
London accorded King Edward and
Queen Alexandra never lacks enthu-
siasm, but the welcome they received
this evening on their return from Ber-
lin was more remarkable than ever.
AT the station to meet them were the
prince and princess of Wales, Premier
Asquith and Foreign Secretary Grey,
while on the road to Buckingham pal
ace great crowds cheered VOciferOuSly.
The king, who was not looking Sc
we'll as usual and was closely muff1ed
up about the throat, had a few min
utes' animated conversation with Sir
Edward Grey, both of them showing
plainly their great satisfaction at the
happy result of the soVereign's short
stay at Berlin.
The visit certainly has had won
derful effect upon the mind of the
British public, and the antagonism
against Germany seems to have disap-
peared.
Berlin's cordial reception Of the king
has paved the way for the re-eStab-
lishment of friendly relations.
Speculate on Policy
Communications have been given out
by the British and German officials III
which mutual satisfaction is expressed
relative to the aims and foreign poll
CIeS OI the Two SON6IIlII6uIS.
All this has been so sudden that the
question is already being raised Of how
long it will last. Diplomats who have
been watching recent events closely
are optimistic.
They point out that British and Ger
man interests do not clash in any part
of the world and that the bitterness
between the two nations really arose
out Of jealousy over affairs in the
near east.
Their aims, however, have been de-
clared identical, and, Germany having
reached an agreement with France
regarding Morocco, there appears
nothing on the horizon over which they
can quarrel
The appearance of the Anglo German
rapprochement, it is recognized
largely depends on that between Ger
many and France, for in recent years
the differences between Germany and
Great Britain arose largely from Ger
many's supposed hostile attitude
toward Great Britain's new-found
French friends

NEW YORK, Feb. 13-That mys-

and the police as the Black Hand has

An attack from an automobile was
made yesterday on Gus Merino, a Har-

When Merino left his shop and was
walking along the sidewalk, a machine
rushed up to the curb and one of the

cropped to the sidewalk and feigned
death, thus escaping without a. scratch

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Special
Commissioner w. I. Buchanan today
telegraphed the state department that
he has just signed a protocol with the
Venezuelan government for the set
tlemen of the disputes between that
country and the United States.
He will leave Caracas for home
Tuesday.
Three claims go to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration, the fourth is
to be settled by a small cash payment
and the fifth has been settled directly
between the Venezuelan government
and the claimants.
The protocol is equally satisfactory
to the United States and Venezuela. 1t
saves the dignity and honor Of Vene-
zuela, While as for America the
troublesome claims that have led to
SO much negotiation are settled.

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-Chancellor Won
Buelow is hopeful of good results from
the recent visit to Berlin of King Ed
ward and in this connection he today
expressed himself as follows:
THE conversation between English
and German statesmen held while the
king was here has evoked sincere sat
isfaction on the German side, and they
Justify the firm expectation that be-
cause of the kings visit the confidence
in the loyalty Of both England and
Germany and the understanding of the
political aims of both countries will
be strengthened.
The discussion of the Balkan ques-
ton revealed a far-reaching agreement
both in regard to the endeavors of

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 13.-Five fire
men were killed and about a dozen
injured, two fatally, by the topping of

The damage is estimated at $3.50, 900.

Officials Secretive

Because of lack of detailed dispatches,
officials of the state department prefer
not to make any statement touching
the results except to say that the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from Caracas
accurately indicate what has been
achieved
As to the money consideration in
volved in the claim of the New York
and Bermudez Asphalt company, the
officials are not fully advised. Officials
are particularly pleased that the as
phalt company's dispute is not to go to
arbitration because of certain features
involved.
Presumably Mr.. Buchanan's work
will be followed by general arbitra-
tion treaty between the two countries,
as a basis of a special treaty stating
specifically the issues to be Grbitrated,
which requires ratification by the SEN
ate before the cases may go to The
Hague.
President Gomez is expected to name
promptly a minister to Washington.
