' "Mr. Jones, the' father of one of the girls, who are missing, passed these women near the Biltmore station without recognizing either as his daughter. "They did not "tooard the eastbound passenger," said he, "but walked toward Azalea, where they probably got on a freight.' his reason for this is that . Conductor Rickett, conductor of a freight train, saw. while passing Azalea, two women there on board the eastbound freight. Officer Hall also received information last night that they were seen near Azalea, . but could learn nothing definite. Efforts were in vain, made to locate Conductor Jones of the train on which it is supposed they left. Officer Hallj ailso interviewed Con ductor Parker of train No. 12, on which it is thought they left. He stated tha t t wo women, ra ther j small, dressed in 'black -with light colored cloaks, boarded his train Tat Biltmore station on "Wednesday morning. He thought they were veiled, but was not positive. They rode on his trin as far east as Salisbury. The colored porter also made the same statement.

The state department is, so far, well pleased with the energetic, yet dis creet, manner in which Minister Bow en has acted. There have been no orders issued to any of our naval ves sels to repair to Venezuelan ports, and it is not intended to issue such or ders unless an emergency should arise. as the presence of men-of-war in such cases as this is apt to cause useless friction. There, is, of course, always danger that the attempt of an Amer ican vessel to pass the "peaceful blockade" may, in the end, call for the appearance of American, men-of-war A BIS RAID : . .

The German charge d'affairs, Herr Von-Pilgrim-Baltazzi, the British min ister, Haggard, and the personnel of the British legation are still on board the warships. What is termed an inopportune dem onstration, and the strange method resorted to in the remittance to the Venezuelan foreign minister of the de mands of Great Britain and Germany are freely criticized here.

Officers Had No Trouble in Tak ing the Men One of the most successful "moon-! shining" raids made in some time took place Wednesday evening, head ed by Deputy Marshal T. C. Israel. W. P. Jarvis, deputy collector; R. M. " Jarvis, deputy sheriff, and R. H. Leef special deputy, assisted in the capture of six offenders of the revenue laws.

No trouble was experi enced by the officers who guarded the aoors of "'Squire" Sullivan's house while the warrants were read to the squire" and his Bon. The " 'eautre" said: "I ain't runnin' no still. I nev er saw a still. No. I'll swear I never saw a still in my life. Thar ain't nary bit o' use in 'restin me." Some of the prisoners were hand cuffed. All of them were found at their homes, which were located wtth in 100 yards of "Daddy" Sullivan's home. The still was a new one of 20 gal lons capacity.

It will interest you. x most dangerous factor in the prob lem. Had he insisted on retaining them in jail, the allies moist have dispatched a force to the capital of Venezuela, and war outright would have ensued. As it is, the officials here prefer to regard the status as not one of war, providing the allies adhere to their original program of a "peaceful blockade," perhaps fol lowed by the temporary seizure of Venezuelan custom houses. Details of the sinking of the Vene zuelan navy by the allied naval forces are awaited with interest here, and the officials could not but express their regret and surprise that it had been found necessary to proceed to such extremes. ROOSEVELT INTERESTED. Nothing has yet occurred to induce the state department to change the policy of non-interference which it has adopted. The president is showing particular interest in the situation, and this morning he called Secretary Hay away from his regular Thursday diplomatic reception to confer re specting Venezuela. The chairman of the two congressional committees, charged with the cases of foreign agreements, all called at the state de partment during the forenoon to talk over the Venezuelan developments. Senator Cullonv chairman of the committee on foreign relations, ex pressed regret that England and-Germany had destroyed, by breaking up or sinking, the Venezuelan war fleet. "They might better have been kept for toy houses, as against a formid able squadron they were fit for little else," he remarked. He believed that if it were considered necessary to seizfe the vessels, they could have been kept intact until after the present trouble was settled and then restored NOT TO ACQUIRE TERRITORY.
