DIPLOMATS FILE PROTEST
Venezuelan Held at Fault In Taking
Exequateur of Consul.
PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad,
July 20. Passengers who have just arrived
.from Caracas say that. In consequence of
the incident which occurred last Monday
at Le. Guayra, where, as a result of fric
tion between the Spanish Consul and the

Consul was withdrawn, the dlsplomatic
corps at Caracas met and decided to send
a. joint note protesting against the action
of the La Guayra authorities and the
withdrawal of the exequateur of the Span
ish Consul.
They took this action, it is said, not for
the purpose of assisting the Spanish
claims before the mixed tribunal, but be
cause of the precedent which would be

contrary to the protocols made with the

GRIFFIN LOST AT GAMELING
Eugene Authorities Determined to
Suppress the Evil.
EUGENE, Or., July 30. (Special.) The
police have become active again in the
matter of suppressing gambling in Eu
gene, and today Tom Tiilllam, Fred Ware
and George Berger paid fines of $5Q each
for gambling.
This new 'activity is probably brought
about somewhat as a result of the re
cent suicide of C. W. Griffin, whose dead
body was found in the river Sunday morn
ing. It is now generally known that on
the last two nights that Griffin was
known to be llvlns he was a visitor at
some of the gaming resorts and that he
was loser to the extent of several hun
dred dollars. It has been surmised that
It was his despondency over his losses
that caused him to drown himself la the
Willamette.
At any rate, sufficient has been learned
in connection with the death of Griffin to
give information to the publio- regarding
the games that have been running, and
the police have taken steps to close them
all.
GAMBLING CHECKS ARE VOID.
Supreme Court of Washington De
cides on Spokane Case.
OLYMPIA, Waeh., July 30. (Special.)
The Supreme Court today decided that
bank checks issued for money advanced
for the purpose of gambling are void.
The decision was in the Spokane County
case of Archie S. Nash, appellant, vs.
Charlotte Clarke, executrix of the estate
of James Clarke, deceased, respondent.
Nash bought two checks, amounting to
$1500, from a gambler named Green. The
checks were signed by Clarke, and were
paid In at Green's gambling game, but
before, payment thoreof Clarke died and
Nash brought suit against his executrix to
collect on them. He lost the case in the
lower court, and that Judgment is now
amrmed.
The law, section 7257, second Balllnger
code, Is plain in declaring void checks
given to cover gambling losses, but it was
contended that the checks were not void
in this case because the money was lost
by Clarke after the transfer of the checks.
The court declares the checks were no less
obnoxious, to the statute than if Green
had credited Clarke during the game and
subsequently taken checks for the money
won.
The fact that Clarke had told Nash that
the checks were good did not validate
them or place Nash in the position of
an innocent purchaser when he was awere
of the gambling part of the transaction.

REQUESTS THAT NO PATENTS ISSUE
TO IiAKiUVIEW SWAMP LANDS.
Warner Valley. Settlers' Claims Are

SALEM. Or., July 30. (Special.) Sev
eral - weeks ago the matter of the con
test between the Warner Valley Land
Company and several settlers in that val
ley came up before the State LandBoard

settlers claim the land by virtue of set
tlement under the homestead act. The
settlers demand patents to the land from
the Government, while the land company
desires the Government to patent the
land to date In order to make its deed
valid, and it is understood that an effort
is being mado by misrepresentation to
accomplish this end, which is made possi
ble by the provisions of the act of Con
gress of March 12, 1S60. The matter has
been reported to the State Land Board
and an investigation will be made. In
the meantime the Governor today sent
Pioneer of 1S5U.

Again I earnestly request that no patent
Issue until request therefor Is made by
me, pursuant to acts of Congress, Sep
tember 23, 1850, extended to Oregon by 'act
of March 12, I860. No one has authority
from me to represent the State of Ore
gon in requesting Issuance of patents ot
the land or any of them embraced In said
list, though I am just informed that
some one pretends to represent the Gov
ernor of Oregon for that purpose. The
matter is being investigated by me, and,
until satisfied as to the bona fides of the
claim of the state to these lands, I will
moke no request for issuance of patent."
SALMON HIGHER ON PHASER.
Expenses of Catching: Is Greater on
Canadian Side.
TACOMA, Wash., July 30. J. H. Mason.
manager of the Pacific Cold Storage Com
pany's mild cure plant at Anacortes, one
of the largest plants of the kind In the
world. In speaking of the rebate of duty
on British Columbia salmon Imported
into the United States for canning, said
that in his opinion the ruling would not
affect Puget Sound canners 5 cents'
worth. He has been actively engaged in
the fish business in the Puget Sound and
Fraser River districts for a good many
years, he says, and in all that time he
never knew It to happen that British Co
lumbia canners did not pay more for fish
than the American cannerymen. As a
result Canadian fishermen Invade Puget
Sound to buy fish, and secure large quan
tities, whereas Puget Sound cannerymen
could not secure fish on the Fraser River
If they were to try.
One reason why fish are higher on the
Canadian side Is that the laws there per
mit of the use of glllncts only, while on
this side of the line fish are caught in
glllnets, seines and traps. The expense
of catching fish is much less on this side
of the line than on the Fraser River.
Mr, Mason does not think that the Ca
nadian cannerymen Invade the markets
of the United States to any great extent,
his impression being that the largest part
of the pack goes to England and the
British colonies.
The pack of the salmon plants oper
ated at Anacortes by the Pacific Cold
Storage Company, of Tacoma, is com
pleted for the season, and amounts to
900 tons, which is three times larger than
last year's production and the largest in
the history of the plant. The entire out
put will be shipped to Germany, going by
rail from Tacoma to New York.
Hvrnco Cannery Gets Few Fish.
ILWACO. Wash., July 30. (Special.)
The fish run has again dropped off until

more than a fourth of the time. Some
traps at the head of Sand Island, In
Baker's Bay have made fair catches
every day, but glllnetters and seiners and
traps in other quarters are doing very
little. '
Fish Caught in Lower River.
ASTORIA, Or., July 30. (Special.) The
run of fish showed a slight Improvement
last night about the mouth of the river,
and the glllnetters did fairly well, al
though no big catches were "made. The
seiners and up-river glllnetters are doing
practically nothing.

ln that. We find that this speculation has j cumber. Comstock"
been going on for a long time since 1S97.
President Lear and Cashier Brock have
been drawing money without saying any
thing to the directors. Now that ''the
whole thing has come to light, we find
that the president has secured about $72,- ,
000 and the cashier $80,000, or thereabouts.
One of the bank's clerks, Fred Clayton, i
secured between $12,000 and $14,000. The
bank holds the personal notes of the men,
and soiile security was given, but It Is
practically worthless."
Mr. Worthlngton said he did not think
the bank would resume business.
President Lear Is a prominent lawyer Irr
the county. 'He Is now at Longport, near
Atlantic City, N. J., and is said to be
prostrated as a result of "the failure of
the bank. Cashier Brock Is Chief Burgess
of Doylestown, assistant chief of the flro
department, a- vestryman In the Episcopal
church and a member of various organi
zations. AT THE HOTELS.

Perhaps too much tvhh expected.
A wealthy New Yorker writes as fol
lows: "I had read with Interest all the book
lets sent out by the different hotels in
Florida, and with a glad heart started
South In search of health, but at Tampa
was taken down with Malarial Fever.
A sea voyage to Key West did not im
prove me, and at Havana, Cuba, I de
veloped Chronic Dysentery. Started for
home, reaching The Polyclinic Hospital,
New York City, April 10th, having lost
thirty pounds on the trip; had no appe
tite; my liver was apparently dead.
The small intestines were inflamed and
caused constant pain.
"All this is on record at the Hospital.
Your Abbey's Salt of Fruits has cured
me aftef all else had failed. Most sur
prising to me is the pleasant taste, and
lack of all griping pains, which usually
follow a dose of pills or other laxatives.
I am now in better health than I have
been since I can remember. My diges
tion Is good, my eyes are bright, the
bowels have been restored to their nor
mal condition, my brain is clear and
hard work does not bother me at all.
- "I am thoroughly convinced that Ab
bey's Salt of Fruits contains some mar
velous powers, unlike anything I have
ever tried. Please do not publish my
name, for I will tell all of my friends
about it. I believe that stomach and
bowel troubles will be a thing of the
past .when Abbey's Salt is used hi every
home."
