6 customs AT ELLIS ISLAND Immigration Officers Stop De- ■ posed President of Venezuela From Entering U. S. NEW YORK. Dec. 31. —The wing? of the “stormy petrel" of South America were clipped today when he arrived here In the person of Cipriano Castro, 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 French liner La- Tourralne and escorted General Castro, who was traveling under tin name of “L. Ruiz." to Ellis Island. There It-- was given the quarters formerly occu pied by Prince Pignatelii DeArgon.t.l cousin of the king of Spain, and there he must remain until a board of in quiry decides whether, as has been • - ported, he Is suffering from an incur able disease. If 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 a hen he was greeted by the immigra tion Inspectors at Quaiantini He: 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 lite statue of lib erty enlightening the world if they de tain tne. I am not aiming to come to the United States ns a revolutionary or one planning to restore himself to pow er in Venezuela. 1 am merely here as an observer, who wishes to see lite na tion of Lincoln, Washington and Jef ferson.

A Georgia observer of event? and things, one who attended the Baltimore Demoe'atie convention, moreover, has z . 0- - . ..|rt •V 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, 1 > I s c u s.l n g Speaker Champ Clark. Willia m Jennings Bryan and President eli- e t Woodrow Wilson today, he sa id: •'1 admire and applaud Champ V-/ - ” |' ’lark's splendid attitude toward Wood row Wilson, and I do not blame him in the slightest d, gree for his attitude to ward Mr. Bryan. H, does not hesitate to siiow that he wiii do his 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 witii hlin, while, at the same time, lie is equally as frank to Show ills 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 lie justly feels that Mr. Bryan, an instructed delegate in Mr. Clark's favor, and always the object of Mr. Clark's friendship and help (when Clark's help and friendship meant much to Bryant, 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 titan Mr. Clark. If he secured his dele gate's place with any other idea in THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1912. mind, iie secured ft under false pre- I tjnws —that's all. I “1 am glad to see Mr. Ciaik assuming | such a manly attitude toward Mr. Wil- ' • son. for that is right: but I should be disappointed in him if he were weak Enough to express anything other than his real feeling of genuine contempt atm repugnance for Mr. Bryan. “Mr. <'lark is required, in his work to: tin- party that h“<» honored him. to sink his natural disappointment that lie was denied at Baltimore that which I never before had been denied an as- I plrant for the Democratic nomination to the presidency a two-thirds vote, after a majority vote had been record ed but ho is not required, either in point of party loyalty or decency, to , ntertain or < xpree- any feeling of re spect for Mr. Bryan. “Whatever else Mr. dark’s admirers may feel, they will fyel especial pride that in is, above all things, not a hypo crite.” | 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 flat registration fee of $2 for all motor ears and vehicles, par ticularly in view of the wide difference in the cost of the various cars. “I titink 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 1 brought up to date. The Muscogee paper is conservative ’ always, and the fact that it has taken ' this stand, along with numerous con ’ tempofliries, 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 1 purpose than to got a new constitution, ’ more difficult of amendment than the present thing of shreds and patches. > r It must be evident to the most casual - observer that Georgia’s stately capitol, i built some 30 years ago, is utterly inad- ■equate to the slate's necessities now-I adays. I There have been several new depart-I i meats i : eated since the cupitol was! i finished, and one new court of review. I ; Beside? that, ah, supreme court has | been doubled in size. .'.ll of these new departments and of-| : licit:!:' had to be provided for, and little ' by little the building has been packed > ■ to overflowing, and now is crowded to ’the point of suffocation. It has been suggested that relief ' might be found by erecting an entirely ; new building for the department of 1 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. Bui whether the relief be found in that way or si tne other, relief must be found ■ somehow soon. No more expansion Is possible inside the old capitol. When the legislature is in session i the va iou- bouse committees are forced I for the want of committee rooms to I meet wherever they can get together i J frequently in a corner of tfie hall of the 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 does not want the 75 murder- ■ ers, thugs ami highwaymen recently pardoned bx Governor Biease, of South Carolina, on condition that they “leave the state immediately,” is generally ap- • proved by the Georgia press. If Blea.se 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 i 1 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 r “pen" in this state they likely will stay put! 1 TRAVELS 1.500 MILES TO SMASH FURNITURE t ' PORTLAND.
