up today by the house COM

steel cars would aggregate
1892, 100000.
''If the transformation were
attempted within four years"
he said, ''it would mean an ex-

about $9S,175,0OO a year; If
done in ten years 1t would be
about S39,170.000.

Washington, jan 19.-Congressional
elections by constitutional conditions
having been held in Venezuela last Sep
tember, the members elected to meet
in April of this year to choose new
chief executive to succeed General
Juan Vicente Gomez, whose term ex-
pires in June and who lawfully can
not succeed himself President Gomez
adopting the policy Of the former
president, Cipriano Castro, suspended
the constitution few months before
the elections were to take place and
declared himself dictator, giving as
his reason that General Castro had
started revolution to regain power
This revolution, by official bulletin,
was declared at an end late in August
by the Venezuelan government. Ameri-
can naval officials declared that Gen
eral Castro had not been in Venezuela
during the trouble. The government,
however, has not restored constitutions
al guarantees, and General Gomez re-
mains as dictator.
Unless the congressional elections
are held, General Gomez may obtain
the powers of president. for another
four years. This prospect is not look
ed upon with favor by the United
States, in view of President Wilson's
announced policy that this government
could not have any relation with any
government not founded on law and
order and that usurpers could not hope
for support or recognition from Wash
ington.

Several thousand dollars worth of
labor and time have already been lost

Arthur Greenfell of New York, the

strike, but he kept his force at work
by starting a line of wheelbarrows.
How long he will be compelled to
follow this primitive method of oper-

tie-up. Business agents of the various
unions affected by the strike are ex.

Liquor Dealer Loses Suit.-The suit
Abram Rosenberger, wholesale H.
quor dealer OF Kansas City, institut-
ed against the Pacific Express Com
pany and the Wells Fargo Express
Company to recover the value of IL
quor shipped into dry territory in
Texas in February, 1907, collect ON de-
livery, was decided in favor of the ex.
press companies il the supreme
court through an opinion filed by
Judge Woodson and concurred in by
the other members of the court.
About the time this liquor was ship.
ped a law became operative in Texas
imposing a tax of $4,000 year on
any transportation company trans.
porting C. o. d. liquor shipments in dry
territory. The companies refused to
pay this tax and returned two ship
ments of liquor to Kansas City and
notified Rosenberger that he could
have the same upon payment of the
reshipment charges, which he refused
to do. Rosenberger then brought suit
allaQinp that thp rompapias bad con.
verted the liquor to their own use
and had violated their shipping agree
ment with him. The court holds that
the express companies have not con-
verted the liquor to their own use,
although they did violate their C. o. d.
shipping contract, and that Rosen-
berger is entitled to the liquor when
he pays the companies for reshipping
it from Texas to Kansas City.
