PLOT TO OVERTHROW
VENEZUELA RULERS
IN THE
Assassination of President
Juan Vincente Gomez Was
Frustrated by Arrest of Gen,
Delgado Chalbaud
(By Associated Press.)
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, June 16.—
Details of the recent political disturb
ances in Venezuela, where a large num
ber of prominent men were imprisoned
or took to flight following accusations
of conspiracy against the government,
reached here today.
It is stated that a plot to assassinate
President Juan Vicente Gomez, was
frustrated by the imprisonment of Gen
eral Delgado Chalband and a number of
his friends. The plot was to have been
carried out at the inauguration of the
Venezuelan Automobile club a few’ weeks
ago. /
An announcement of the government
says:
“The plot was uncovered through
General Manuel Corao, who flatly refus
ed to join in the conspiracy. When in
vited to become a party to the plot he
started tow’ard Miraflores palace to in
form the president of his danger. On
his way he was shot at, but escaped in
jury. The information he gave to the
president led to the imprisonment of the
plotters.”
In circles in which General Chalband
is well known, it is said there was no
plot of any kind against Gomez. The
president is declared to have imprison
ed General Chalband because of jealousy
and fear that he might become a candi
date for the presidency next April.
In connection with the approaching
campaign for the presidency, there is
much speculation in Caracas. Many be
lieve that Gomez will try to succeed
himself, although such action is contrary
to the constitution. If this is impossi
ble, he will endeavor to secure the elec
tion of one of his trusted friends. In
either event, it is considered certain
that some trouble will follow.
Should disorder break out. General
Gomez has a great many things in his
favor. The army is in splendid condi
tion. The officers are loyal to him and
there is plenty of money in the govern
ment treasury. Besides these advan
tages on the side of the administration,
merchants in Venezuela who are at pres
ent enjoying great prosperity, are not
inclined to support any movement which
would interfere with their welfare.
The recent trouble between President
Gomez and the federal council (com
posed of ten of the best known military
leaders of Venezuela) arose over an
agreement with France which was re
jected by the council, although subse
quently approved by congress. Presi
dent Gomez resented the opposition of
councillors and prevailed on congress to
pass a law providing that the substitute
of each councillor might be called upon
to serve even during the presence in
Caracas of the councillor himself. Sev
eral of the councillors, scenting danger
to themselves, in this move, took to
flight, and the remainder of them em
ployed men to guard their residences.

PROBES SPEER’S RECORD
Personal Representative of
Attorney General Digging Up
History of Federal Judge
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga.. June 16.—Inspector J
T. Lewis, personal repesentative of At
torney General McReynolds, of tho
department of justice at Washington, is
In Macon investigating the judicial rec
ords of Judge Emory Speer from the
time he went to the federal bench,
twenty-eight years ago, to the present.
The knowledge of his presence here was
not known until last night.
Inspector Lewis has been here for a
week probing newspaper court records,
looking over court data that has been
kept in the federal building here for the
past twenty-eight years. He is making
his investigation thorough. He is go
ing after information in and out of Ma
con, interviewing everybody that has had
any connection whatever with the fed
eral court in the last score of years.
Wherever he gains information that he
thinks will be of value to him, he gets
an affidavit. His investigation will like
ly continue for the next several weeks,
if not longer.
It was reported that Inspector Lewis
was here for the purpose of probing
the facts in the recent Huff bankruptcy
case, which has been in the federal court
for the past fourteen years, but this re
port is denied. It was learned definitely
today that the inspector is here investi
gating the complete judicial records of
Judge Speer.
Just what information Inspector Lew
is has gained since he began the investi
gation is not known.
Department of Justice
Silent on Investigation
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—In
the absence of Attorney General McRey
nolds in St. Paul Minn., the department
of justice today declined to discuss the
investigation of Judge Emory Speer,
which is being conducted by J.
L. Lewis, and which is understood to
have been under consideration or in
progress for several weeks.
It is understood, however, that the
attorney general is familiar with the
complaints and charges against Judge
Speer, and it is ^ie belief here that the
investigation now under way was ord
ered directly by McReynolds.
The news that Judge Speer is under
investigation and that the inquiry may
be attended by serious results in so far
as he himself is concerned will create
widespread interest in Georgia.
That the charges against Judge Speer,
if established, will furnish the basis of
proceedings in congress, is the belief of
lawyers who are familiar with their na
ture. f
While it is not known definitely in
Washington, there is a strong suspicion
that Colonel W. A. Huff, of Macon, who
has been a litigant before Speer for
many years and who had written some
salty cards about the judge, may furnish
some damaging information relating di
rectly to his prosecution for contempt
of Judge Speer’s court.
Judge Speer has been on the federal
bench since March 4, 1885, when his
nomination, by the then President Arthur
was confirmed by a single vote in the
United States senate. This vote was
cast by Jdseph E. Brown, then a sena
tor from Georgia, and was the only
Democratic vote received by Speer.
MOTHER AND EITHER SEE
Explosion of Oil Stove Starts
Fire-Parents Hurt in At
tempt to Rescue
(By Associated Press.)
SHAWANO, Wis., June 16.—Three
children met death, their father, Au
gust Nebauer, was fatally burned and
the mother seriously hurt as the re
sult of a fire which destroyed the tem
porary home of the farmer twenty
miles east of here today.
The parents, were working in a field
when a kerosene stove exploded, set
ting fire to the small house in which
the children were sleeping.
Before the father reached the burn
ing building two of the children were
dead. He matched the sixteen-months-
ol# baby from its burning cradle,2but the
child died in his arms. The father’s
clothing became ignited. The mother
rushed to the aid of her husband and
she, too, was set on fire.
Dying, hrom Wreck
Injuries, Reporter
Sends Big Story In
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, June 16.—Gregory T.
Humes ,of this city, who died to
day in the hospital at Stamford,
Conri retained above all else, his
sense of news when terribly crush
ed yesterday in the wreck which
caused the death of six persons and
the injury of about twenty more on
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad near the Stamford sta
tion.
Humes, a reporter on the staff of the
World, was returning from a visit to
his mother at Pine Orchard, Conn., and
•vyas a passenger in the Pullman car
which was telescoped by the electric
engine of a train behind.
When Humes was carried out of the
wreck, suffering from a crushed pel
vis and compound fractures of both
ankles, as well as painful internal in
juries he said to those who were car
rying him:
“Call up my paper right away and
tell them tmrte is a wreck here—a big
story. Tell them I am sorry I won’t
be able to work because I am smashed
up. Call up my mother, too.”
Having done his duty—the first
thing that flashed into his newspaper
mind—he collapsed and has been un
conscious and in a critical condition
ever since.

BENT THERE’S DISCORD
BETWEEN Cl. SENATBRS THREE M INJURED IN
Sensational Reports of Break
Over Patronage Distribu
tion Discredited
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 16.—The situa
tion with reference to federal patronage
to Georgia is far less aggravating and
a crisis far more remote than some
of the sensational newspaper stories
from Washington would seem to indi
cate.
There is reason to believe that there
will be no break between Senators Ba
con and Smith, and that A. O. Blalock
will be nominated for internal revenue
collector, as previously forecasted in
these dispatches.
It is confidently believed that Sen
ator Bacon will not continue to object
to Mr. Blalock, and it is known that
Senator Smith will continue to co
operate with his colleague in an at
tempt to secure a desirable govern
ment post for Calvin M. Hitch, of At
lanta.
The internal revenue collectorship at
Atlanta, it is pointed out, is no more
“state-wide” patronage than is the
custom collectorship at Savannah, the
control of which has been claimed by
Senator Bacon.
Under the proposed reorganization of
the customs service the district of
Georgia will be consolidated and head
quarters established at Savannah just
as internal revenue headquarters are
located at Atlanta. If Senator Smith’s
right to control the internal revenue
collectorship should be seriously ques
tioned, because it is “state-wide” pat
ronage, it is believed possible that he
would then claim a voice in the Savan
nah collectorship, on the same grounds.
He might object to the nomination of
David C. Barrow, Senator Bacon’s
choice, and submit the name of some
person more acceptable to himself.
But, as indicated, there is small
chance that the matter will take this
course, and the nomination of Mr. Bla
lock is confidently expected to be made
by tbe president in due course of time.
If the Blalock nomination goes
through, there will remain then only
one piece of senatorial patronage to be
finally and definitely settled. That will
be the district attorneyship for southern
Georgia.
The contest for this place will con
tinue to be an open fight. This state
ment is predicated upon the assump
tion that A. Pratt Adams will not be
nominated for the office. That Mr.
Adams will not be nominated is re
garded by many as more than an as
sumption. The issue will be not decid
ed for some months yet. as Alex
Akerman, of Macon, has been requested
by the attorney general to hold on until
the first of the year.
Robert M. Hitch apd Fred Saussy, of
Savannah, are applicants for the dis
trict attorneyship. So are Robert L.
Berner, of Macon; John F. West, of
Thomson, and J. Thomas Hill, of Cor-
dele. Mr. Saussy, who is a Princeton
graduate, has the indorsement of Na
tional Chairman William F. McCombs.
It is not knbwn what weight, if any,
this indorsement will carry.
In view of the fact that his posi
tion has been considered senatorial pat
ronage, and subject to the control of
Senator Bacon, the names of none of
the applicants r have .been pressed at the
department of justice, pending defi
nite action of Mr. Bacon’s purpose to
recommend Mr. Adams.
If the senator stands pat on Mr.
Adams and the departmtnt declines to
name him, as is believed, the contract
for the attorneyship may assume lively
proportions. Several of the south
Georgia congressmen may take a hand in
the contest, urging the nomination of
an applicant from among their con
stituents.
Of course, if Mr. Adams should with
draw his name and decline to allow
Senator Bacon to present it, the whole
matter might be adjusted through the
recommendation of another man by the
senator.

WOULD RENEW TREATY
Viscount Chinda Asks That
Renewal Period Cover
Five Years
, (By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 14.—Discount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has
advised Secretary Bryan that Japan is
willing to renew for another period of
five years, her arbitration treaty With
the United States, which expires by lim
itation August 24.
Secretary Bryan, making the an
nouncement today, said he expected the
senate would ratify the new arbitra
tion treaties already signed with Great
Britain and other countries, despite the
opposition against them. No date for
signing the Japanese renewal has been
determined.
The senatorial opposition originally
was voiced by Senator Chamberlain, who
insisted that in renewing a treaty with
Great Britain specific acceptions should
be made to remove the Panama canal
tolls controversy from the field of ar
bitration. The question of arbitrating
with Japan the issue of the California
alien land law also has been a subject
of discussion among senators opposed
to renewing that arbitration treaty.
President Wilson has had frequent
conferences over the arbitration trea
ties with senators. Members of the for
eign relations committee have been
frequent callers at Secretary Bryan’s
office.
CURE FOUND FOR GUM
DISEASE OF CITRUS
SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 16.—The
discovery of a cure for gum disease, a
fungoid growth which does hundreds of
thousands of dollars damage annually
to California citrus crops was announced
today by State Horticulturist Cook.
Mr. Cook says it has been demonstrated
beyond a doubt that a paste made of
a mixture of lime, copper sulphate and
water exterminates the pest if applied
to the trees and the ground surround
ing them.
Mr. Cook asserts also that the gray
rot and, brown rot fungus, which makes
its appearance in the packing houses, is
a variety of the gum disease and can
be exterminated by the use of the
paste.

“learned of this.”
He asks Ault to bid good-by to his
friends and live right, so as to not fol
low him. In the letter he gives no rea
son for his act. The body arrived here
Thursday afternoon, and was interred in
West Hill cemetery, a large crowd of

ELEVEN LOSE LIVES IN
CAVE-IN ON NEW SUBWAY
Five Hundred Laborers Sum
moned to Dig Out Men
Entombed Underground
NEW YORK, June 16.—Eleven lives
are believed to have been lost in a dis
astrous cave-in 80 feet underground on
the new subway construction at Fifty-
sixth street and Lexington avenue this
evening, when 13 men of a crew of 32
drillers and laborers were entombed.
At 10:30 o’clock six bodies had been
recovered and five were reported still
buried under many tons of rock and
earth. Two injured men were rescued,
but one of them probably will die.
Five hundred laborers were quckly
assembled at the scene in an effort to
dig out the buried men. According to
the police and fire authorities, it may
be hours before some of the bodies are
reached. There appears to be no hope
that any of the men have escaped
death.
There is a conflict of opinion as to
whether the cave-in was due to a blast
or the collapse of timbering. There aro
two levels to the subway construction
at this point, the upper one for local
trains and the lower one for express
trains. It was the ceiling of the latter
tunnel which caved in. A policeman
who gave the first alarm following the
accident stated that he heard a loud
blast and it was at once succeeded by
the cries of wounded and dying.
Robert Ridgeway, engineer in charge
of the public service commission, after
an investigation, announced that the
cave-in was directly traceable to a
blast. The rock at this point is faulty,
he said, and the shoring timbers gave
away for a distance of 20 to 25 feet.
Firemen early on the scene discovered
that a rock weighing several tons had
fallen on some of the buried men. It
could not be moved by the means at
hand and probably will have to be blast
ed before the bodies underneath it can
be recovered. Three priests descended
into the tunnel in excavation buckets
to administer the last rites of the
church if any of the men were rescued
still alive.
Most of the dead whose bodies have
been recovered were foreigners and
their identification awaits the tallying
of the numbered brass checks found in
their clothing.

DALTON, Ga., June 16.—A govern
ment pike road, costing $30,000, and ex
tending from Ringgold, in Catoosa coun
ty, through Dalton and probably several
miles into Gordon county, is more than
a possibility—In fact, it is practically
a certainty.
Friday a meeting of representative
citizens, among whom were a majority
of the board of county commissioners,
was held at the court house, where Con
gressman Gordon Lee outlined the plan.
He stated that while he couldn’t make
a definite promise, he was confident he
could secure, within two days after the
board took action favorably, an appro
priation of $10,000 from the government;
this, combined with a similar amount
from Whitfield county and a like amount
from Catoosa county, would be used in
the construction, under government
supervision, of an excellent pike through
the two counties, joining the govern
ment pike at Ringgold, and extending
south and into Gordon county.
Present at the meeting were L. R.
Wiggins, ordinary of Catoosa county,
and W. E. Biggers, a member of the
board of commissioners, who positively
guaranteed that Catoosa would appro
priate its part. Now it’s up to Whit
field county as to whether or not the
road will be built, and the people here
are confident the board will take favor
able action at its first meeting in the
future.
T}ie pike would follow the line of the
proposed Johnston-Sherman highway
connecting Chattanooga and Atlanta,
and traversing the routes taken by the
Confederate and Federal forces during
the Civil war. It would prove a big
link—almost one-half of the distance of
the proposed national highway.
The money from the government
would come as a result of the appropria
tion made for road building experiment
al purposes by congress last year. The
bill provided for an appropriation of
$10,000 to each state in the union; but
practically all of the states refused the
appropriation, the total of which
amounted to $500,000, and the money
was then offered to five states. Mr. Lee
is confident, however, that he can yet
secure the $10,000 which was Georgia's
original part, provided Whitfield and Ca
toosa show the co-operative spirit.

STATE COURT REJECTS
HARRIS CASE VERDICT
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga., June 16.—The court of
appeals has reversed a verdict in Floyd
city court in the case of Mrs. J. H. Har
ris, woft obtained 1 dsraacres against the
city of Rome in the sum of $1,500. The
case was a very interesting one, due to
a direct conflict in medical testimony.
Some o fthe physicians maintained the
malaria from which Mrs. Harris suf
fered was due to the proximity of an un
drained pond, and that the responsibility
therefor rested upon the city.
Other physicians took a directly op
posite view, and so swore upon the
stand. A jury in Floyd city court gave
her damages of $1,600. Judge John H.
Reece refused to grant a new trial. City
Attorney Meyerhardt thereupon carried
the case to the court of appeals, and
obtained the second trial prayed for by
the city.
