H f . WASHINGTON, Dec The Ven ezuelan question occupied the atten tion of the Senate In executive' session today for almost an hour, the question coming- up Informally almost Immedi ately after the doors were closed. Sen ator Teller, declaiming- ajll 'Intention of being critical, and saying- he mere ly desired information, asked Senator Cullom, Chairman of the Committee a Foreign Relations, what informa tion he possessed as to the Venezuelan affairs. Teller said that the situation was such that the Senators felt that the Monroe. Doctrine at - any --time might become Involved If the compli cation should continue. j , Senator Cullom replied that he hid no knowledge of recent events not contained in the House prints. The tone of all the speeches, whether by Republicans or Democrats, was that the attitude of this nation should be one of watchfulness. There was a general agreement 4hat. while the means adopted by Great, Britain and Germany for the collection of th4r debts- had been quite strenuous. thy committed no infringe- Monroe Doctrine. .-nJ done nothing to which held thig morning at 9 o'clock.

Ah Slop, whose other name is Louie, Is In a critical condi tion, and just what th outcome will be is hard to determine. He is suffer ing from a multitude of bruises on his head, arms and body, and is said to be in much pain. The . defendants all reside in this -lty and range from 15 to 1 years Id. Several of. them, are leaders of a gang that has infested the water front for several; months and hare caused the police' no end of wor-J ry and trouble. They certainly did not realize the seriousness : of their crime when they followed the t unoffending Chinaman,-for If they are found guilty they will be severely punished. . i "':' . ft'- .-.
