THEY DO NOT WISH HAGUE TRIBUNAL Blockade of Venezuelan Ports to Be Continued Until All Questions Are Settled. Washington Dec. 22. President Roosevelt is evidently placed in a dif- cult position by the expressed wish of the European . powers coercing Venez uela, that he act as sole arbitrator of their' differences. He is very much averse to undertaking the settlement of the momentous question. He be lieves the dispute rightly belongs to the Hague tribunal which was created es pecially for such purposes.

The Judge ignored their presence, but had sev era! small boys ejected from the court! room. The prosecution devoted all of tndav's session to trvine to convince the jury of the bad character of Misa Biggar, notwithstanding her claim that she was the faithful wife of the dead millionaire Bennett. At the close of Miss Biggar's testimony on resuming her seat she fainted, but soon recovered. The testimony of Josie Dane, an inmate of the Hen- drick sanitarium when Miss Biggar was there, was very damaging.
