WHEN BERMAN'S AD- VERTISE A SALE THE PUBLIC ARE CONVINCED THAT THEY CAN SE- CURE FIRST-CLASS BARGAINS IN STAPLE GOODS. The Berman Emporium R D P PP A T Ll e B e PRES. MORALES Fugitive President U A D D 1 1 R GRISIS NEAR AT HAND - ~ el ALL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BE- TWEEN FRANCE AND VENEZU- ELA FINALLY BROKEN. “ NEXT MOVE IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITED EARLY DEPARTURE OF REPRE- SENTATIVES AT PARIS AND CARACAS EXPECTED. ‘Washington, Jan. 13.—All diplomatic! relations between Venezuela and France are broken, it is said at the state department, and although it is stated no formal or official 1nfm‘matlon[ to this effect has been received the officials assume that in accordance with the usual procedure this will in- volve the early departure from Ven- ezuela of M. Taigny, the French rep- resentative there, and from France of M. Maubourguet, the Venezuelan| agent.at Paris. The. officials here are awaiting the turn of events with keen interest, although it is expressly stated that definite news regarding the next step that France will take is yet to be received. In the event that the request is made by France it is stated permission will be cabled to Minister Russell to look after French interests. It is now admitted that the relations between President Castro and Minis- ter Russell are not all that could be desired. The negotiations regarding the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company’s claim have failed, but Sec- retary Root is determined to exhaust every method of diplomatic procedure and has directed: Minister Russell to take up the Critchfield claim, which is without complications and involves no charge on the part of President Castro that the company engaged in abetting a revolution, This company invested about $600,000 in a railroad and an asphalt plant under agreement that the territory was to be exempt from all except a few specified.taxes. It is charged that about a year ago Presi- dent Castro imposed a prohibitory tax on the company in violation of the agreement, CHARGED WITH MURBER. i Mother and Two Sons Placed Under Arrest. Phillipsburg, Mont., Jan. 13.—Ed- ward and Robert Franz and' their mother have been arrested in this city charged with the murder of George Reed. Late last summer the long absence of Reed, a woodchopper, caused a search to be instituted and his body was found in a shallow grave in the vicinity of the Franz ranch, where Reed had his cabin. A large tree had been felled so that in falling the branches covered the grave. The ar- rest 'was based upon the fact that Id- ward Franz, while on a. spree, con- fessed to the murder and also admit- ted the killing of a man named Pon- gratz, who mysteriously disappeared from Phillipsburg about five years ago. Pongratz was an employe of the Bimetallic mine at this city. He left home one morning in his working clothes for the mill, but did not return and no tidings had been received of him since until this confession of Ed- ward Franz. LOCOMOTIVES COLLIDE. Two Switchmen Killed in Collision at Baraboo, Wis. Baraboo, Wis., Jan. 13.—Switchmen John F. Dwyer, aged forty-five, and John S. Conroy, aged forty, were killed in a collision between two en- gines in the Northwestern yards here. The men were standing on the rear footboard. = Steam from the water tower obstructed the view of the en- gineers and' ‘caused-the collision. SEEKS REFUGE of Santo Domingo Asks Protection of American Flag At Our Embassy. |DISTURBANGES PRACTICALLY ENDED San Domingo, Jan. 13.—The tugitve president, Morales, has sought refuge in the American legation here. i Negotiations are in progress with the object of inducing General Mo- rales to resign the presidency amd leave San Domingo. “» It is claimed here that the steps taken by Morales in seeking the pro- tection of the American fiag virtually puts an end to the disturbances in this republic. Washington, Jan. 13.—The state de- partment was advised several days ago that efforts were making to com- pass the retirement of President Mo- rales from office and his withdrawal from Santo Domingo. It was under- stood then that the fugitive president had oftered to resign his office if he were given safe conduct out of the country and it was supposed that his proposition would be accepted by the Caceres party. With that understand. ing one of the American gunboats wds being held in readiness to take Mo- rales aboard and transport him te Porto Rico. It is said at the state de- partment that while this programme may be adhered to, if a complete un- derstanding is reached between Mo- rales and the de facto government, the former may safely take the first vessel that leaves port, either a war- ship or one of the regular liners, and thus terminate the incident to quell the incipient rebellion and insure the continuance of peaceful conditions in Santo Domingo. Such an outcome would be entirely satisfactory to the state department because it has had sufficient assurances that the Caceres government is willing to live up to the existing temporary arrangement as to customs collections. AT END OF PRESIDEN; Roosevelt May Be Chosen Head of Chicago University. @ Chicago, Jan. 13.—Talk of electing President Roosevelt as the successor of the late President Harper ‘at the head of the University of Chicago has become general in university circles. It is said to have been one of Dr. Har- per’s hopes during the last months of life that the way could be cleared to have President Roosevelt take the head of the university at the conclu- sion of his presidential term. To bring this about it would be necessary to alter the constitution of the univer- sity, which provides that only a Bap- tist may be the president. President Roosevelt worships in the Dutch Re- formed church. { It has been definitely decided; that the final resting place of President Harper shall be in a memorial chapel to be erected on the university:cam- pus. Until the completion of the chapel the body will remain in the vault at Oakwood. General Oku Warmly Welcomed, Tokio, Jan. 13.—General Oku, who commanded the left army during the war with Russia, made a triumphal entry into the capital during the morn- ing. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested by the people, who lined the route to the palace, cries of “Nan- shan” and “Tieling” greeting the gen- eral who isolated Port Arthur at a critical stage of the campaign. TO START DRAINAGE WORK. James J. Hill Offers to Pay a Third of of the Cost. Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 12.—Presi- dent James J. Hill of the Great North- ern railway gave a practical demon- stration during the afternoon of his in- terest in drainage when he offered to pay a third of the cost of getting the work started right. “If it costs $30,000,” he said, “count on me for $10,000, or whatever the cost is.” AGED COUI;LE PERISH.
