WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—President | Roosevelt and Secretary Root are now | making elaborate preparations to bring up Venezuela and President Castro with a sharp turn. The administration is | tired of the actions of Castro, who has not only confiscated the property of American citizens but of thé subjects of foreign powers. He has put this Gov- ernment to an enormous expense and trouble in enforcing the Monroe doctrine and in keeping foreign powers out of the western hemisphere.

MINERS WILL MEET NEXT IN PHOENIX Election of Officers to Be Held To-Day in Ses- sion in El Paso. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 17.—To-day was a busy one in the American Mining Con- gress. Secretary Galbreath’s report was read, amendments to by-laws adopted and much other work of importance was cleared up. Telegrams were sent to Pres- ident Roosevelt expressing thanks for the interest he has shown In mines and min- ers, and to President Diaz for the fair treatment miners and other foreigners investing in Mexico have recelved. The congress defeated a proposition to in- crease membership dues from $5 to $10, and held that all delegates, whether ..ey had paid a membership fee or not, could votefon the proposed amendments. The recommendation that the president should name a committee at each session of the congress to elect an executive com- mittee was not favored, the delegates holding that the congress should have the privilege of electing the committee. Contrpl of the association is to be vested in a board of directors consisting of nine members, three for one year, three for two years and three for three years In the first election and three to be elected annually after that date. To- morrow the election of officers will be held. The next place of meeting will be an- nounced by the directors Saturday, and will probably be Phoenix, as the conven- tion has already expressed itself in favor of that city.

I7.—Secretary Hitch- cock’s severe criticism of the leniency ! displayed by Judge Munger, imposing a | small fine as sentence on Bartlett Kich- ards and W. G. Comstock, the wealthy cattle barons, who pleaded guilty to the illegal fencing of 200,000 acres of Govern- ment lands, has caused a decidedly un- easy feeling among Federal officlals here. | Secretary Hitchcock is quoted as saying: | “1 am surprised and indignant at that sentence. The punishment is entirely in- The criticism is considered particularly severe because it is thought that It comes direct from President Roosevelt. - Judge Munger, who passed sentence on the cattle barons, is outspoken in his cen- sure of the Secretary’s criticism. He said to-day: “One would think the Secretary had enough to do to look after the affairs per- taining to his office without seeking to saddle himself with additional responsi- bilities. I think the result which the movement hoped to attain has been ef- fected. The inclosing of the Government domain is not a crime per se. It is noth- ing more than a statuory offense. The fact that the Government had spent four years of determined efforts and thou- sands of dollars before the defendants were indicted was not a matter sub- mitted for my consideration.” RELATIVE OF (HE KAISER 2 MAY HAVE KILLED HIMSELF Paul Francke, Who Has Had a Ro- mantfc Career, Disappears in Colorado.

BY SALLY SHARP. Sa¥ what you will about dancing be- ing passe, the ball is still the roseate dream of youth, where love and beauty revel in the cool of the palms, like the fairies of Fontainebleau. 1t is the expression of youthful en- ergy translated into fun—sweet, clean fun—and the fresher the youth the kcener the fun. Tast nigat's ball at the Palace, the ice of the winter of the Friday | Night Club, was a joy—a veritable joy; | for, like the famous Charleston cotil- {lons of ye olden day, the exuberance ! of the debutante was merged with the happy, reminiscent grandmamma. & ashing” lot of debutantes they were—these little maids from school; ! and seemingly immensgly popular with | the gallant cavalry officers who glad- dened the hour with the gleam of their braid and br And here is socjal feature for which San Francisco should thank the gods—the war gods—this proximity to S0 many army and naval stations.

And since the success of a ball depends— not so much upon the women us upon smart dances. in town fare A the men, well, and there are usually men to spare. And this is the elysium of the debutante—a lot of nice men to dance with. The belle? She, too, is an ad- vocate of an overstocked market of men, but the lack of them doesr't hurt her as it would the debutante, whose success is measured by the attention she gets from eligible men.

Collier, Mrs. James P. Langhorne, Mrs. Eleanor Martin, Mrs. J. de Barth H. Follis, Mrs. Inez Shorb White, M Edward Eyre, Mrs. Hyde-Smith and Miss Carrie Gwin. The early closing movement?
