cock Confers With Nominee
at Hot Springs.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 9. William
H. Taft has planned to devote next week
to writing his speech of acceptance of the
Republican nomination for the Presi
dency. During that time he "will not in
vite any one to come here. Up to the
present he has not -written a word of his
speech to be delivered in Cincinnati, on
July 28. Not until it is completed does
he desire to discuss the document with
his friends. Before it is made public,
however, he will submit it to a number
of the leaders of the party in order to
get their views on it.
Has Nothing to Say.
Frank H. HiU'hcock, chairman of the
Republican National committee, arrived
here this morning and after a short in
terview with Mr. Taft, said he would not
be ready to announce the membership of
the executive committee, or to make any
statement regarding his organization for
the campaign, before a week from today.
The selection of men for this place, he
said, was a matter of importance re
quiring careful consideration and up to
today he had given it no attention.
Mr. Hitchcock will leave here tomor
row evening for Washington to take up
the work of outlining a plan of campaign.
Receives Ohio Delegates.
Mr. Taft today received a de'.egation
composed of Robert R. Reynolds, T. J.
Moffet. J. Staley Hill, William B. Melish
and John R. M alloy, citizens from Cin
cinnati, charged with the duty of mak
ing arrangements for the notification
meeting July 28. The committee went
over their plans with Mr. Taft who gave
his approval.
This afternoon the statesmen remaining
here played another game of baseball
with the newspaper correspondents. The
correspondents won by the score of 25
to 16.
PUBLICITY I-AW HIS GUIDE
Treasurer Sheldon Says He Believes
in Principle.
NEW YORK. July 9. "I have always
believed in publicity with respect to cam
paign expenditures," said George R.
Sheldon, the new treasurer of the Repub
lican committee, today. "In the ap
proaching campaign I will be guided sole
ly by the publicity law," he added.
In Mr. Sheldon's opinion, publicity at
this time will do good in dispelling ex
aggerated ideas on that subject.
"Of course." he said, "there are ob
jections on the part of many donors hav
ing their names published. The reason is
that they immediately become a target
for the same reason that many large don
ors tc charitable objects are unwilling
that Jheir gifts should be known to the
public.
I am not alarmed over the outlook for
raising money for our expenses in the
coming campaign. They told me I could
not raise money for the Hughes cam
paign, but I did. I got all we needed."
Mr. Sheldon left for Hot Springs, Va.,
this afternoon to confer with Mr. Taft.
DICK APPLAUDS THE CHOICE
Says Hitchcock's Appointment Will
Lose Xo Votes in Ohio.
WASHINGTON'. July 9. Senator Chas.
Dick, of Ohio, who has had wide experi
ence in the management of campaigns in
Ohio, as well as in National contests, be
lieves Judge Taft acted wisely In select
ing Frank H. Hitchcock as National
chairman.
"The selection of Mr. Hitchcock aa
chairman, will not lose us a dozen votes
In Ohio." he said. "I propose to do all
I can to bring about the success of the
Republican party."
The Senator was inclined to the belief
that the tariff and currency questions
would be the principal issues of the cam
paign, "but," he added, "one cannot be
too sure of that yet, for in the final anal
ysis the people themselves make the issues."
BORAH IS HIGHLY PLEASED
Thinks Hitchcock Will Lead Party to
Great Victory.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, July 9. Senator Borah, on
his way from Hot Springs, Va., to Ovs
tcr Bay. spent several hours in Wash
ington today, attending to matters in
the Interior Department. After a con
ference with the President, he will re
turn to Idaho. He expressed his entire
satisfaction with the selection of Hitch
cock for National chairman, believing
the ability he displayed in the cam
paign preceding the convention will
carry the Fall campaign to an over
whelming victory.
He also highly commended the selec
tion of Sheldon for treasurer, since
Srteldon stands for publicity in regard
to campaign funds. At Chicago Borah
favored the adoption of a publicity
plank.
Meyer to Be Secretary or State.
PARIS, July 9. According to adivices
rot-lived here from Washington, William
11. Taft recently announced to certain of
his friends his purpose, if elected Presi
dent of the United States, of appointing
Geotjce von 1 Meyer, at present Postmaster-General,
to be his Secretary of
itaie.
HOT SPRINGS. Va.. July 9. When
rostmastor-Ueneral Meyer's attention
was called to a report from Paris that'
Mr. Ta.ft had announced his purpose to
appoint him Secretary of State in the
event of Mr. Taffs election, he char
acterized the story as "absolutely made
out of whole cloth." He Is here with
Taft.
Ios.e Chases Montenegrins.
MISSOULA. Mont., July 9. Sheriff H.
P. Campbell and a large force of deputies,
heavily armed with repeating rifles, will
leave for Taft today to take up a new
trail of the Montenegrins, who last Sun
day murdered Holmes Hayes at the west
end of the St. Paul Railroad tunnel. One
of the five men who committed the crira
has been arrested and has been brouc45
ti the county jail at Missoula to prevent
a lynching by the infuriated Americans at
the big railroad camps. His name is Nich
olas Perimiage. ,
CASTRO'S AGENT RECALLED
(Continued from First Fe.ge.
found peace and his person not being
threatened in any way. Senor Veloa
stated that the files and papers of the
Venezuelan Legation would be placed
in the custody of Senor Jacobo Pi
mental, the Venezuelan Consul-General
in New York. This statement is re
garded as an indication that the Vene
zuelan government will follow the pre
cedent established by the United States
in, refraining- from closing the Consul
ates. No arrangement has been made
for the transaction of any diplomatic
business which Venezuela might find it
absolutely necessary to transact,
through some unforeseen contingency.
Senor Veloz paid hasty calls upon
Assistant Secretaries Adee and Hunt
ington Wilson and other officials of
the State Department. Of course, offi
cially there was nothing for these gen
tlemen to say, but personally they did
not hesitate to express their sincere
regret, for his personality haa gone far
toward deferring the rupture which
came today.
Probable Coarse of Events.
As to the future, it is pointed out
by officials who followed closely the
developments in the Venezuelan situa
tion, there is oot the slightest
danger of war in the immedi
ate future, or, indeed, at all. Rather
will the situation resemble that fol
lowing the rupture of diplomatic re
lations between France and Venezuela,
for instance, where legations were
closed on both sides and all official
relations terminated, while trade be
tween the two countries continued and
Frenchmen came to Venezuela and rich
Venezuelans made their annual pil
grimages to Paris as if nothing had
occurred. The feeling of resentment
bred by the rupture gradually becomes
less acute and at the proper moment
a friendly third party steps in and
brings about restoration of amicable
relations.
It is even possible in our own case
that the process may be more rapid
than nsual. There must be some limit
to the number of powers from which
Venezuela can safely separate herself,
and with the termination of her rela
tions with America today she has add
ed a very potent force to the opposi
tion. There is also ground for the
belief that President Castro has been
acting in a half light; that for some
reason he has not been in possessicfh
of all the facts in the controversy
with the United States, or, if he has,
then he has been completely misled as
to the motives for Secretary Root)s
proposal of arbitration.
Crisis Began Two Months Ago.
Minister Russell, last diplomatic
representative of the United States to
Venezuela, witndrew about two months
ago, and Mr. Sleeper, the Secretary o
Legation, and Lieutenant Ruggles, the
military attache, about two weeks ago.
The reason was the persistent refusal
of Venezuela to give redress for the
governmental action by which all
American interests in Venezuela were
either destroyed or confiscated, or to
submit the claims of American citi
zens to arbitration. There were five
of these claims in all those of A. F.
Jaurett, the Orinoco Corporation, the
Orinoco Steamship Company, the New
York & Bermuda Asphalt Company- and
the Critchfleld concession. For a long
time past the American Government
has been making efforts to secure a
settlement of these claims. Secretary
Hay at one time submitted what was
regarded almost as an ultimatum. Sec
retary Root, In 1907, instructed Mr.
Russell to demand remedy or redress,
but the Castro government adhered to
its position that there was no reason
why Venezuela should arbitrate the
claims.'
Senate Refused to Act.
Then President Roosevelt determined
to send the whole correspondence, to
Congress and leave to that body the
determination what should be done to
bring Castro to terms. Long before
the recent session closed, however, it
was evident that the Senate would not
initiate any action, although Mr. Root
appeared before the committee on for
eign relations repeatedly to discuss the
situation.
Practically the next step -was the
departure late In April of Mr. Russell
from Caracas. An incident which
caused considerable comment was the
opening of the mall of the men on the
cruiser Tacoma by the officials of the
La Gnayra postoffice. Castro's reply
was that it had been done inadvertent
ly, and this reply appeared to be sat
isfactory to the American Government.
Then came the departure of Mr.
Sleeper.
QUARREL WITH HOLLAND ALSO
Sharp Reply to Minister's Note May
Cause Open Breach.
CARACAS, Saturday, June 20. The
threatening break in the friendly rela
tions long existing between Holland
and Venezuela will add one more na
tion to the long list of those which
either have no intercourse with Vene
zuela or have serious questions pend
ing. These are France, Colombia, the
United States, Great Britain and per
haps Italy. The path of the diplomat
in Caracas is thorny, and only too
many have met their fate at Castro's
hands. '
Minister de Reus has now been placed
by Venezuela's pugnacious President in
the position of either showing his dis
avowal by packing- up and going away
or setting aside his pride by quietly
Ignoring Castro's note. Members of
the diplomatic corps here do not think
the latter course is possible.
The trouble which has now broken
out has been brewing for three months.
It began before the Government of
Curacao enacted quarantine regulations
against Venezuela on account of pres
ence of plague here. These regula
tions called forth retaliations from
President Castro in the form of the
decree which prohibited the trans
shipment of merchandise to or from
Venezuela'n ports and Curacao.
The fact that Curacao is the haven
of Venezuelan refugees and the Mecca
of plotters and revolutionists cause!
the Venezuelan Government to send a
note requesting Holland to show some
interest in obstructing the filibustering
plans of the refugees and to exert a
more effectual vigilance over shipping
traffic with Venezuela, which has al
ways been carried on in such a very
loose way as to permit the escape of
refugees on Dutch schooners under as
sumed names. The escape of Nicholas
Rolando last night is a case in point
and there have been countless others.
This looseness has also greatly facili
tated contraband, which is. and always
has been, the life of the little Dutch
island.
Minister de Reus several weeks ago
sent his answer to Castro, and this
caused the crisis by giving the Presi
dent an opening for his last charac
teristically startling note. Mr. de Reus
explained that the Curacao government
could not carry out all of President
Castro's wishes, and he insisted that
Senor Lopez, the new Venezuelan Con
sul in Curacao, had misinformed the
Venezuelan government and that . he
had gone to Curacao very much preju
diced against that island.

Watson Calls Upon People's Party
- Voters to Rebuke at Polls Defense
of the Brownsville Negro
Soldier Rioters.
ATLANTA, Ga., July 9. (Special.)
Cheers for President Roosevelt and hisses
for William Jennings Bryan followed a
reference to the Brownsville incident in
'the speech this morning of Thomas Wat
son, addressing the Georgia Populist
convention.
"Roosevelt," declared the speaker,
"fearlessly and properly punished the
rioters of Brownsville,' and won for him
self praise of all true men. Taft refused
to denounce the President for what he,
had done. He said, 'No.' He was a man
with red blood in his veins. But Bryan
asserted himself as opposed to the atti
tude of the President and in sympathy
with the Brownsville soldiers.
"Are you men of Georgia and of the
South," said Mr. Watson, "going to sup
port such a man and give him your state
simply because he is a Democrat?" Cries
of "Shame!" "Never!" and hisses greeted
the question. At night Mr. Watson was
formally notified of his nomination for
the Presidency by the Populist party.

NEBRASKAN BADLY GRILLED
DYNAMITE FOR GAMBLERS
War Between Rival Factions in Chi
cago Is Renewed.
CHICAGO, July 9. Terror was caused
in the Chicago Automobile Club and in
three 5-cent theaters last night by the
explosion of a bomb in the rear of 260
State street. The six-story building at
No. 260 State street is where the two
men, leaders of one faction of Chicago
gamblers, have their offices, and the bomb
was set off, apparently, by the person
who has been responsible for the "dyna
mite war" among gamblers. ,
The explosion broke every window In
the rear of the first floor of the State
street building. Members of the Automo
bile Club, which is directly In the rear,
facing the Plymouth Court, thought a
gasoline tank had exploded and fled from
their building. Audiences numbering sev
eral hundred persons In the nickel the
aters located in the same block where
the explosion occurred made a hasty exit.
Last Winter there were no less than 15
similar explosions close to buildings occu
pied or owned by the different gambling
interests of Chicago. The police have
never been able to And the parties responsible.
LOSS IN BOSJON $1,500,000
Insurance Companies Must Pay
Heavily for Fire.
BOSTON, July 9. Practically the entire
loss of $1,500,000 caused by the fire which
destroyed almost a quarter of e. mile of
water front of East Boston yesterday
will fall upon the insurance companies,
those taking marine risks as well as the
companies which insure against fire be
ing responsible for part of the loss under
a clause in the policies which protect
merchandise for a time while at the
wharves awaiting removal. The Boston
& Albany Railroad Company, which is
leased by the New York Central, had
property valued at $1,000,000 destroyed, in
cluding the two piers used by the Cunard
Line and a grain elevator. The Leyland
pier was also destroyed, together with
several freight cars and a large quantity
of miscellaneous merchandise. The loss
is mostly covered by insurance.
It is believed that but one person has
perished, Daniel Sullivan, a watchman
at the Cunard line pier.

HELENA, Mont., July 9. Governor
Norris yesterday addressed a letter to
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at

a large band of Cree Indians who,
white Canadian charges, have for years
