Death of Criscola
 Due To Electric
 Shock, Say Doctors

Investigation into the death of AL fonso Crisco1a of this city, who died suddenly in Milford last Friday, re- suited in an autopsy being performed on the body at the request of the family. Although a. medical exam iner's preliminary report to Coroner Eli B. Mix of New Haven had given cause Of death as acute indigestion, physicians here reported the organs to be in perfect condition and it is believed that death was due to cleo tric shock. Criscola was motor man on 8 Connecticut Go. express car, and the theory has been advanced that he received an electric shock. The family has retained Irving Ell son as counsel and claim for com pensation will likely be made. The funeral was held yesterday from his late residence on Wheeler avenue.

VENEZUELA

The first movement for indepenS -dence in Venezuela was initiated in 1197 by Gaul and Espana, tbuA it failed as did the later revolutions of Gen.
 Francisco Miranda and other patriots. It was not until 1910 that a rebellion led by the citizens of Caracas gained temporary success. Don Vicente Emparan, the Spanish governor, was deposed and on July 5, 1911, con- stitutional congress formally declar- ed the independence of the United Provinces of Venezuela. The fifth of July has ever since been celebrated as the national holiday of the coun- try, and a great fiesta will be held today in Caracas in celebration of the event. In 1872 the revolutionists after year of power, were defeated in battle by the Spanish troops, and Spanish authority was again estab- lished. In 1913 Simon Bolivar the lfberator of South America, took up arms again the Spaniards, and in 1919 finally ended the Spanish rule in the northern part South America. Ven ezuela became part of BoIiver's Greater Colombia. but in 1880 was made an independent republic, which is now known as the United States of Venezuela. The republic has an area of nearly 600,o00 square miles but it is one of the most sparseIy populated countries of the continent
