CASTRO PRISONER
AT ELLIS ISLAND
Immigration Officers Stop De
posed President of Venezuela
From Entering U. S.
NEW YORK. Dec. 31.—The wings of
the "stormy petrel” of South America
were clipped today when he arrived
here In the person of Cipriano <'Astro,
former president of Venezuela. The
clipping operation was performed bj
United States immigrant inspectors,
who met the fallen dictator when lie
reached port on the French liner La-
Tourrnine and escorted General Castro,
who was traveling under the name of
“L. Ruiz.” to Ellis Island. There h
was given the quarters formerly occu
pied by Prince Pignatelli DeAigon.i.
cousin of the king of Spain, and there
he must remain until a poard of in
quiry decides whether, as has been re
ported, he is suffering from an incur
able disease. If his health is found sat
isfactory he will undoubtedly he turned
back on the ground that he' it an un
desirable visitor.
General Castro was greatly perturbed
when he was greeted by the immigra
tion inspectors at Quarantine, lb-con
sented to go to Ellis Island without
physlcai pci suasion, but expressed his
indignation in forceful terms, saying:
"If those are your laws, I must com
ply. .
“Let them cover up tile statue of lib
erty enlightening the world if they de
tain me. 1 am not aiming to come to
the United States as a revolutionary or
one planning to i-estore himself to pow
er in Venezuela. 1 am merely here as
an observer, who wishes to see the na
tion of Lincoln, Washington and Jef
ferson. I would be insane if 1 were to
try to foment insurrection from the
United States. The supposition is ab
surd."

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
A Georgia observer of events and
things, one who attended the Baltimore
Demoe atic convention, moreover, has
'• V *

r
been much inter
ested in the sub
sequent maneu
vers of some of
the stat perform
ers, and others di
rectly affected, in
that big show,
and draws some
pertinent conclu
sions
Di s c ii s s i n g
Speakt r Champ

<le c t Woodrow
Wilson today, he
said:
"I admire and

Clark's splendid attitude toward Wood
row Wilson, and 1 do not blame him in
the slightest degree for his attitude to
ward Mr. Bryan. He does not hesitate
to show that he will do his best to make
Wilson’s administration a success; that
in- 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 as frank to show his
contempt for Mr. Bryan.
“Mi. ('lurk 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
fe< ling 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 lie justly feels that Mr.
Bryan, an instructed delegate tn Mr.
Clark’s favor, and always the object of
Mr. Clark's friendsnip 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. <'lark. If he secured his dele
gate's place with any other Idea in
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31. 1912.
I mind, he secured it under false
tenses—that’s all.
, | “1 am glad to see Mr. Clark assuming
| such a manly attitude toward Mr. Wll
” j son, for that is right: but I should be
disappointed in him if in- were weak
| enough to express anything other than
j ids real feeling of genuine contempt
and repugnance for Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Clark is required, in his work
| for the party that has honored him. to
sink his natural disappointment that
he was denied at Baltimore that which
never before 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
j entertain or i-xpr s- any feeling of re
spect for Mr. Bryan.
“Whatever else Mr. Clark's admirers
may feel, they will feel especial pride
that he is. above all things, not a hypo
crite.”
i Secretary of State Phil Cook likely
will 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. Cook believes that it is wrong
to charge a fiat registration fee of $2
for all 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 mote. 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 no other
purpose than to get a new constitution,
more difficult of amendment than the
present thing of shreds and patches.
I ,
It must be evident to the most casual
observer that Georgia’s stately capitol,
built some 30 years ago. is utterly inad-
! equate to tin state’s necessities now-
: days.
1 There have been several new depart
: menus created since the capitol was
■ ' finished. and one new court of review.
: I Besides that, the supreme court has
been doubled in size.
All of these p,-w departments and of
ficials had to be provided for, and little
( by little tile building has been packed
1 ' to ov- Glowing, and now is crowded to
the point of suffocation.
It ha.- been suggested that relief
■ might be found by erecting an entirely
j new building for the department of
, I justice exclusively, and if this building
were fashioned to include the library it
would make much room in the old
building that is sadly needed.' But
whether the relief be found in that way
o some other, relief must be found
i somehow soon. No more expansion is
i possible inside the old capitol.
j When the legislature is in session
: the various bouse committees are forced
I for the want of committee rooms to
: meet wherever they can get together—-
I frequently in a corner of the hall of the
I house of representatives, or to the right
or left 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, and
probably by building an annex.
Governor Brown’s statement that
Georgia dots 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 Blease desires to turn them out of
the penitentiary of the Palmetto state
he has the power and authority 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 flock to
Georgia will do well to walk the strait
and narrow path, for if they get in the
, “pen” in this state they likely will stay
put!
