Man "Who Passed for P. Opper Es
capes From San Antonio.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. (Special.)
A special dispatch from San Antonio, Tex.,
says: Paul Ford, arrested' on a charge of
swindling the Grand Opera-House here
during the presentation of "The Belle of

lowing evening, and lias not yet been lo
cated. The afternoon previous he was

pany with an actress who' gave her name
as M. Murwin, on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly. Both were fined In the
Corporation Court. "When first placed un
der arrest he gave the name of H.
Harper.
Just before the curtain fell on the last
act of "The Belle of New York" he was
again placed under arrest by the police

United States Army, who claimed that
Ford had given him a check some months
ago at Fort Clark for $50, dating the
check a different month from that In

payment it was found that there was no
money in the hands of the firm on which
it had been drawn. The police claim that
he is wanted in different parts of the
country on different charges.

pearance, and dresses very stylishly. On
the evening of December 24, while in the
Sheriffs office, he- made a dasjh for the
door, going- down the-, stairs" and out at
a side door. A Deputy Sheriff followed
him, firing one shot after him, but with
out effect. Ford disappeared, and his
whereabouts have not yet been ascertained.

THEY CO TO THE HAGUE
All Parties to Venezuelan
Crisis Accept Alternative,
BRITISH ARE DISAPPOINTED
Cabinet Decides Vexed Question,
Having Assurances That Monroe
Doctrine Will Not Be Involved
More Seizures of Vessels.
President Roosevelt has declined to
act as arbitrator of the Venezuelan dis
pute, and the allies and Venezuela have
acreed to rerer It to The Hague tri
bunal. The Cabinet Teached this decision yes
terday, having assurances that the ap
peal to The Hague would not briny the
Monroe Doctrine Into question.
This news Is received In London with
disappointment, except by the Liberal
leaders, who And In It cause of triumph
'over the government.
The blockade is rigidly enforced. A
ship loaded with British' coal for the
railroad was not allowed to land it. A,
vecsel was sent to take the people of
an island to the mainland, as the block
ade applies to. the Island.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.- President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator ofHhe
Venezuelan controversy. The whole vex
atious subject will be referred for adjudi
cation to The Hague'ctrlbunal.
Epitomized, this -was the situation as it
had resolved itself -&t Jth'e conclusion of
the Cabinet meeting today The -meeting,
was liot so long: -a.& the' sessions usually
are: All the members, "except Secretary

oniy iopiror, general conftern.uhder cpnsld
eratloiu Secretary y presented the . re
sults of his cable correspondence with the
governments at London, Berlin, Rome and
Caracas. In accordance with the sugges
tion made by President Roosevelt, through
Secretary Hay, President Castro' was re
ported to have agreed to submit the diffi
culties to the arbitration of the tribunal
at The Hague. The European powers not
only consented to submit the controversy
to arbitration, but while they had ex
pressed a preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Roosevelt,
they had assented to his suggestion that
the matter be referred to The Hague.
The presentation of the case met" the
hearty approval . the Cabinet No fear is
expressed by the Administration that the
Monroe Doctrine will be brought into the
controversy in any manner that might re
sult In an embarrassing situation for the
United States. Secretary Hay is preparing
a note to the powers in which the gratifi
cation of this Government is expressed for
tho course agreed upon. No intimation la
given of the conditions which may have
been imposed by the European powers or
by President Castro as precedent to the
arbitration. It Is known that Great Brit
ain was willing to submit the subject to
the arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions, but the
suggestion Is made that one and perhaps
two of the other powers Involved proposed
some conditions which might have proved
embarrassing to the President had he un
dertaken the responsibility of determining
the question.
It Is understood that some money must
pass, but it is also known that the amount
of cash to be required of Venezuela before
arbitration is not nearly so large as had
been stated. It Is not possible to learn
either whether the allies insist upon apol
oeles from Castro, and while it is as
sumed that the blockade will be speedily
raised, no arrangement to that end has
yet been made.
ALL ALLIES HAVE AGREED.
Falling; Roosevelt's Acceptance They
Will Go to The Haa-ue.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. The notes re
ceived from the governments interested
in the Venezuelan controversy, including
Venezuela, agree to submit the question
at issue to The Hague tribunal. A note
is now being prepared by Secretary Hay
in which this Government announces Its
hearty approval of such a course. There
appears to be no question of the fact that
It is the general understanding the Mon
roe Doctrine Is not to enter into the ques
tion of -arbitration.
LONDON. Dec 26. Confirmation was
obtained here today by the Associated
Press of the announcement 'from Wash
ington that the arbitration of the Vene
zuelan question is now assured and that
failing the acceptance by President Roose
velt of the invitation to become arbi
trator the matter will be referred to The
Hague tribunal.
BERLIN, Dec. 26. A semi-official note
published today says: As in the case of
the Italian note the British and Ger
man notes on Venezuela presented De
cember 23 declare that if President Roose
velt does " not accept the post of arbi
trator, the powers would be prepared, sub
ject to certain reservations, to submit
the matter to The Hague tribunal.
BRITAIN IS DISAPPOINTED.
Only Radicals Hall With Joy Refer
ence to Hagrae Tribunal.
LONDON, Dec.. 27. Except by the op-
ponents of the government, who view it aa
virtual defeat and as., discrediting tne
Ministry,, the latest phaSCof the Vene
zuelan trouble has beerf welcomed very
lukewarmly. Arbitration by President
Roosevelt has. "been anticipated .as so de
sirable an issue from a difficult business
that his refusal, which" Is regarded as
final, has -caused keen disappointment It
is foreseen that, even if' satisfactory con
ditions to the submission of the disputes
to The Hague court can be arranged, this
method will entail endless 'and "wearisome
details, with no assurance that at. -the
end President Castro still will be in
power or Venezuela in the mood to abide i
by the decision of The. Hague, In short, !
that element of guarantee which would
acceptance or tne omi pt .arbltrator is
now lacking. At the sarh'e time it Is
readily admitted .that, frpm.' the Ameri
can point of view, TresldentT. Roosevelt
has acted wisely in declining" to act
The foregoing represents the general
drift of newspaper om&ent this morn
ing. The only paper which really wel
comes the decision to refer- the Venezuelan
matter to The Haguei is -ithe Radical.
Daily News, which sees a chancS of mkk-'
ing arbitration once more a reputable-
theory, paying a tribute, to the coolness
of President Roosevelt" and the correct
attitude of the United. States during this
"sorry business." The Daily News says:
"The Venezuelan crisis has done much
to 'enhance Mr. Roosevelt's reputation and
to bring home to Englishmen the essen
tial friendliness of the American people."
The Daily Mail, In a violent attack up
on the government, says; "Thus ends
perhaps the most Inglorious episode in
which Great Britain- haS engaged in re

CHICAGO, Dec 26. SIgnor Mascagnl,
the Italian composer, who abandoned his
American trip while playing in Chicago
last week, was placed under arrest to
night on a charge of embezzlement made
by his former manager, Richard Heard.
When Mascagnl decided to return to
Italy, he had no further use for his Amer
ican manager and discharged him. Heard
claims that his contract called for 55000,
and tried to collect that amount. Mas
cagnl refused to pay Heard any such sum,
and the arrest followed.
Mascagnl was allowed to remain at the
Auditorium Hotel, where he is living, the

Combine for an Onslaught.
The bill to reduce the duty, oh Phil
ippine products promise's to precipitate
a battle wltbtlio beet-sugar -Interests in
the Senate.
The beet-sugar Senators" claim that
as an Inducement to vote for ratifica
tion of the peace treaty with Spain, the
Government promised that no such re
duction of duties on the annexed Islands
should be made as would endanger
home Industry.
They are stirring up tho tobacco In
terests", to pin them In tho flght on
both the Philippine tariff and the Cuban
reciprocity treaty.
They also Jscck an alliance -with the
interests .-which are opposed to the
French and Newfoundland and other
reciprocity treaties.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec. 26. Beet sugar interests are
not only fighting the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, but have taken a hand against the
reduction of Philippine duties. It is a
great clalnf of certain beet-sugar men that
an understanding was reached: .when the
peace. treay. witlx. Spainwwas.fatifled(r'thai
,ouifyaiiiereBi jpnearung,.sHgar)- snouia
'St these mmXX 'ih

Opposition Is. springing up to the biff
which passed tho House before the holi
day recess, making the Tate on Philippine
goode" per cent of the present DIngley
rates. The beet-sugar men have been try
Ing to enlist tobacco-growers and manu.
iacturera in this movement, and with
some show of success. It Is being pointed
out that Thomas B. Reed and other pro
tectlonlsts of his kind opposed the treaty
with Spain on the ground that it was tho
opening wedge which would destroy pro
tectlon In the United States. They claimed
that, as soon as the Philippines were
placed upon an equal footing with this
Government In the matter of tariff rates
the protected Interests would be seriously
disturbed.
Cry of Cheap Labor,
The cry is now raised that workingmen
throughout tho country will be seriously
damaged by the cheap labor of the Philip
pines entering Into competition with them.
not only upon sugar and tobacco, but upon
other manufactured products, which can
be produced in the islands. The Repub
Ucan leaders furnished ammunition for
this cry when the Porto Rlcan bill was un
certain- and they insisted that American
labor would be damaged by free trade
THE CASE."
with Porto R.Icot It was well known that
at that time they wanted to establish the
precedent that the United. States had a
right to impose any tariff It saw fit upon
products corning from the Islands acquired
from Spain, That was a part of the plan
to make good" the pledges that the Philip
pines, should never be allowed to Interfere
with tlte sugqr interests of the United
States.
vIt may be possible In the Senate to de
feat the House bill "relating to the Philip
pines, notwithstanding the demand from
the great majority in this country, and the
earnest Tilea of Governor Taft and other
members of the Philippine Commission. It
will be a very strange thing to defeat
sudh a bill, which received the unanimous
vote of the Republicans in the Houee, and
which only incurred the opposition of tho
Democrats who' wanted, to establish ab
solute free trade between the Philippines
and this country. If the tobacco Interests
are aroused it may secure opposition from
the tobaccoH-growlng states, but the Sena
tors representing:- these states, mostly
Democrats, would ' be obliged to place
themselves In opposition to their party In
the House, as well as their often-repeated
declaration in favor of lower tariff duties.
But it makes little difference what the
Democrats do, the responsibility rests with
the Republicans, and the defeat of the
Philippines tariff bill, if brought about,
will be through the Influence of the ultra
protection Senators who are in control in
the Senate.
Crtban Treaty Opposed.
Tho. opponents of Cuban reciprocity are
finding a number of reasons why that
measure should not be ratified. They
claim that, the treaty In regard to the ad
mission of products into Cuba, has been
drawn on protective lines and say that raw
materials will be admitted at a very low
rate .of duty, while protected articles will
pay a high rate. Several instances of this
kind are being pointed out and the claim
made that various- enterprises recently
started in Cuba will be benefited, while
the manufacturer In this country will re
ceive little or np benefit This Is another
blow In the direction of arousing the pro
tected interests in this country to op
pose the Cuban treaty. But unless there
is a grcfat change In the sentiment of the
Senate since the question was a vital Issue
last Summer, the treaty can. be ratified.
A movement is on foot to consolidate the
opposition to the Cuban treaty, the Phil
ippine tariff, the French treaty, the New
foundland treaty and the other reciprocity
treaties pending In the Senate, and to
prevent anything being done by the Senate
on any treaty which will disturb existing
tariff conditions.
