On Dec. 33 he had prepared to go with his co-laborer, Bartlett, from Laguayra to Campo Bello, In the Interior. It was the expectation that certain final arrangements would be made for developing specified gold districts. Immediately upon their arrival at Laguayra Gage and Bartlett were harsh ly arrested and rushed off to a jail, hot and filled with vermin. No one was allowed to see the prisoners. They were told they could r.ot send for counsel. No charge that had been made against them was made known to them. "Gage and Bartlett had two Venezuelan servants. One of these, realizing the pre dicament of his employers, telephoned to the American legation at Caracas, telling of the arrest. "W. W. Russell, secretary of legation, on behalf of Minister Loomis, demanded immediately, through the s-tate Department of Venezuela, the liberation of the Americans. Mr. Russell stated that he knew the men and would be respond i for any charge that might be made against them. Instructions were thereupon issued to the police at Lagauyra to release Gage and Bartlett. By that time the boat they had expected to take to Campo Cello had gone and it was Impossible for the tourists to get into the interior by boat for a week to come. Mr. Gage felt fo outraged about his arrest that he determined to make no Investigation until his rights had been es tabllshed. He Immediately engaged pas age for the United States and started for this country to consult with his attorney and find Just what he could depend on t.nd what protection in the future he would have against such violations of his rlehts Mr. Gage's attorney will bring the matter to the attention of the State Department at once.
