6 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.

I A Georgia Qbserver of events and I things, one who attended the Baltimore Democratic convention, moreover, has T been much inter ested in the sub sequent maneu vers of some of the star perform ers. and others di rectly affected, in that big show, and draws some pertinent conclu sions therefrom. Dl9<u s s i n g Speaker Champ Clark, William Jennings Bryan and President elect Wood ro w Wilson today, he said: ”1 admire and applaud Cit a tn p Clark's splendid attitude toward Wood row Wilson, and I do not blame him in 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 __________________ I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1912. mind, he secured it under false pre tenses —that’s all. ”1 am glad to see Mr. Clark assuming I 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!
