Venezuela Plans to Expropriate French Cable Rights
Diplomatic sources in Washington indicate Venezuela may expropriate the coast cable rights from the French Cable Company to settle a dispute over non fulfillment of contract. Venezuela seeks to take the cables at cost and build a direct U S link via Trinidad or Curacao, affecting high rates currently paid for American word transmission. The case, now in a federal court, may be appealed and could delay final judgment for weeks as the government owns interior telegraph lines and aims to control cable rights.

Bridge No Obstruction Suit Against Taft Filed
Monongahela Bridge Company of Pennsylvania sues Secretary Taft in the District Supreme Court seeking to restrain enforcement of an August 15 1904 order requiring alterations to its Monongahela River bridge at Brownsville. The company argues the structure is a safe essential highway crossing between Morgantown and Belle Vernon and not an unreasonable navigation obstruction, claiming decades of use and a 65000 dollar value with minimal accidents. It contends the order would confiscate property and exceed Congress authority over navigable waters.
