;; - Looking to Welfare
The reason the launch Fox carried no
llfe-saviug -appllancea a Sunday night,
when ' Fred ' and Madeline Staff enaen
were drowned in the Willamette river,
was because ' the paid lobbyists ' of
Standard Oil prevented the paseVge by
cbngreag last winter ot a law giving

burden to the federal Inspector of bulla
ana Doners. . nence tne r ox. wnen 11

with apparatus such as . enabled , tne
crew to save the drowning persons. aa
a consequence -the peopl j it Pir'.la'nd
today are. aroused to damanl municipal
legislation thst shall provide protection
denied by the Standard OH monopoly
No. law exists regulating craft under

Edwards and Fuller in' thla port. Al
though they could legally arrest any

Everv 'day these- launches transport

Standard Oil - lobbyists- in Washington
Issued orders that' tha bill be killed, and
It never came from the plgeon-hqlee of
the-commlttee to which U had been. re
ferred. This action of Standard Oil was
baaed on its reluctance to permit the
United States to enact a law that might
reduce tba quantity of gasoline It sella
to pleasure-craft - Agitation had been
nation-wide . and . It , waa believed . that
sentiment bad-, crystallised Into legisla
tive action.' But the -Influence of tba oil
kings waa too potent snd pleasure craft

Washington. D. c, Aug. I. The state
department has received, notice from
Caracas that following faat on the
heels of the decision sgslnst ths French
Cable company, ' the federal court has
rendered judgment ' on the appeal of
the New York-Bermudea Asphalt com
pany, confirming tha original judgment
on all points rendered May 10 last with
costs. The decision further annuls the
Hamilton contract and grants damages
to the government " No anneal Is doo-
aiDie against tns judgment
The action of the Venesuelsu federal
court of cassation brings the asphalt
controversy Bnunnubl to an iit
stage, i It la assumed, that the decision
beers on the suit brought by the Vene
suelan government against the New
York-Bermudes company. Tbat the de
cision is of importance ' is manlfeat
through the declaration of President
Castro to seise- tba surrounding asphslt
territory, valued at ilo.ooo.000.
The threat of President Castro was
replied to by tha United Sutea last
spring by a practical ultimatum to
Venezuela, threatening excessive m
urea to be continued for . a considerable
period of Venesuela did not agree to
arbitrate-- the difficulties. President
Castro's snswer-iwas a refusal as curt
ss the demand.- The-fact that--the
United Statea did not follow up the ulti
matum waa a matter of great surprise.
.in May, president Roosevelt gave out
a statement Intended to refer the whole
matter to congress before acting. The
decision now reported has taken " the
matter out of the courts, and . if ths
United States feels that tba ' asphalt
company was wronged there Is plenty
of precedent- to warrant a. new request
upon Venesuela to arbitrate the whole
question. ' ' ." . ' . " - .
