MO PRISONER
AT ELLIS ISLAND
Immigration Officers Stop De
posed President of Venezuela
From Entering U. S.
NEW YORK. Dec 31 -Tue wings of
the "Stormy petrel” of South America
were clipped today when h< arrived
here in tin person of Cipriano <'astro,
former president of Venezuela. The
clipping operation was performed by
United States immigrant inspectors,
who met the fallen dictator when he
reached port on the F'rench liner La-
Tourralne and escorted General Castro,
who was traveling under th< name of
"L. Ruiz.” to Ellis Island. Then he
was given the quarter- formerly occu
pied by Prince Pignatelli DeArgon.i.
cousin of the king of Spain, an there
he must remain until a boa : of in
quiry decides whether, as has bon e
ported. he is suffering from an Incur
able disease. Ts his health is found sat
isfactory he will undoubtedly be turned
back on the ground that he Is an un
desirable visitor.
General Castro was greatly perturbed
when he was greeted by the immigra
tion inspectors at Quarantine. H<-con
sented to go to Ellis Island without
physical persuasion, but expressed his
Indignation in forceful terms, saying:
"If those are your laws. I must com
ply.
“Let them cover up the statue of lib
erty enlightening the world if they de
tain mo. I am not aiming to come to
the United States as a revolutionary or
one planning to restore himself to pow
er in Venezuela. I am merely here a,s
an observer, who wishes to see the na
tion of Lincoln, Washington and Jef
ferson. I would be Insane if I were to
try to foment insurrection from the
United States. The supposition is ab
surd.”

the slightest degree for his attitude to
ward Mr. Bryan. does not hesitate
to show that he will do hi 9 best to make
Wilson's administration a success; that
he is not at all 'sore' on that gentle
man, and is cordially prepared to co
operate with him, while, at the same
time, he is equally an frank to show his
contempt for Mr. Bryan.
“Mr. Clark is under an obligation of
loyalty to his party to help the incom
ing president in his work; he is under
no sort of obligation to hint even a
feeling of friendship for Mr. Bryan.
"Mr. Clark evidently feels that there
was no dishonor attaching to Mr. Wil
son in the matter of his nomination at
Baltimore, but he Justly feels that Mr.
Bryan, an Instructed delegate in .Mr.
Clarks favor, and always the object of
Mr. Clark’s friendship and help (when
Clark's help and friendship meant
much to Bryan), played a perfidious
part in seeking to wreck Mr. Clark’s
honorable ambition to be his party's
leader, and particularly when Mr.
Clark, in fair and free primary action,
had won a clean-cut majority of the
convention's delegates.
"It may be that Mr. Bryan was seek
ing to nominate Mr. Bryan rather than
Mr. Wilson, but the point is that Mr.
Bryan was an instructed Clark dele
gate and had no honorable authority to
seek tile nomination of any one other
than Mr. Clark. If he secured his dele
gate’s place with any other idea in

mind, he secured it under false pre
tenses —that’s all.

such a manly attitude toward Mr. Wil- i
son, for that is right: Irut I should be I
disappointed in him if he were weak!
> nough to express anything other than
| his real feeling of genuine contempt
and repugnance for Mr. Bry an.
"Mr. Clark is required, in his work
for th' patty that has honored him. to
sink his natural disappointment that
he was denied at Baltimore that which
I never t" t'oi had been denied an as
pirant for the Democratic nomination
to the presidency—a two-thirds vote,
after a majority vote had been record
ed —but he is not required, either in
point of party loyalty or decency, to
entertain or express any feeling of re
spect for Mr. Bryan.
hatevi-r else Mr. Clark's admirers
may foil, they will feci especial pride
that he is, above all things, not a hypo
crite.”
Secretary of State Phil Cook likely
w ill ask Governor Brown to recommend
to the incoming legislature, in his mes
sage to be delivered as he retires from
office, that it make a radical change in
the matter of automobile license and
registration in Georgia.
Mr. < 'ook believes that it is wrong
to Charge a flat registration fee of $2
for al! motor cars and vehicles, par
ticularly in view of the wide difference
in the cost of the various cars.
“I think it is unfair to charge the
owner of a $375 runabout $2." said Mr.
Cook today, "and at the same time
charge the owner of a $6,000 limousine
no more. I believe the license tax
should be graded and distributed equi
tably, and I am thinking of urging such
a view, with a purpose of getting it en
acted into law.”
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun advo
cates a constitutional convention for
Georgia, in order that the present in
strument may be revised rationally and
brought up to date.
The Muscogee paper Is conservative
always, and the fact that it has taken
this stand, along with numerous con
temporaries, indicates that the proposal
is being considered very seriously all
over the state.
A number of newspapers seem to
think that Georgia should have a con
stitutional convention, if for tin other
purpose than to get a new constitution,
more difficult of amendment than the
present thing of shreds and patched.
It must be evident to the most casual
observer that Georgia’s stately capitol,
built some 30 years ago. is utterly inad-
I equate to th' state’s necessities now -
There have been several new tlrpa.l-
Imi nts created since the capitol was
I finished, and one m court of rev lew.
i Besides that, the supreme court lias
been doubled in size.
All of these new departments and of
ficials had to be provided fo>". and litt'
by iittle the building has been packed
to overflowing, and now is crowded to
the point of suffocation.
It ha.- been suggested that relief
might be found by erecting an entirely
new building for the department of
justice exclusively. and if this building
were fashioned to include the library it
would make much loom in the old
building that is sadly needed. But
wheth'-r the relief be found in that way
or some other, relief must be found
somehow soon. No more expansion is
possible inside the old capitol.
When the legislature is in session,
the various bouse committees are forced
for the want of committee rooms to
meet w herever they can get together
frequently in a corner of the hall of the
hottsi of representatives, or to the right
or li ft of the speaker's stand, as the
case may be.
In all probability, the incoming leg
islature will be asked to provide more
room for the state departments, tmd
probably by building an annex.
Governor Brown's statement that
Georgia docs not want the 75 murder
ers. thugs and highwaymen recently
pardoned by Governor Blease, of South
Carolina. on condition that they “leave
the state immediately,” is generally ap
proved by the Georgia press.
If Bleasc desires to turn them out of
tlie penitentiary of the Palmetto state
he has the power and authoiity to do it,
but Governor Brown's objection to his
doing it on “condition” that they flock
to Georgia, or some other nearby state.
Is indorsed heartily.
And. anyway, those that do (lock to
Georgia will do well to walk the strait
and narrow path, for if they gi t in th.
“pen” in this state they likely will stav
put!
