PRESIDENT CASTRO.
How the Venezuelan Supreme Court
Judges Were Removed.

Stephen Bonsal contributes an
article to the North American Re
view entitled Castro: A Latin
American Type" The career Of the
president Of Venezuela, strange as it
has been, is, according to Mr.. Bon
sal, not unusual, for hardly year
passes but in one or another Of the
so-called South American republics,
brigand chief proclaims himself a
dictator. The account which Mr..
Bonsal gives Of Castro's life, the OPP
FORTUNES that came in his way, the
shrewdness with which he ayailed
himself Of them, his rise to power,
and his method Of government, is in
teresting, but not such as would lead
a reader to desire earnestly to reside
in the republic of which Castro is
head. If Mr.. Bonsal be not mis-
taken the president Of Venezuela
takes view Of the purposes of the
Monroe doctrine which would not
appeal to many Americans.
Of Castro's domination Of the law
courts Mr.. Bonsal says:
"Castro's relations with the Judi
ciary have been equally dictatorial.
How likely the justices Of the su-
preme court are to restrain his illegal
acts may appear from the following
incident. In the fall Of 1901 the
chief justice and his associates, in
the performance Of their duties as
prescribed by law, made their annual
visit to the Rotunda, or general pTis-
on in Caracas. Among the other
scandalous conditions which they
brought to light were the following;
Over 100 prisoners were in jail held
upon an executive order only and
not by due process Of law. Ofthose
who had been properly committed
200 were absent, having bought theil
way out. The chief justice, a worthy
man who had been appointed by An
drade, proposed an investigation, al
though none of his associates would
sustain him. However, before he
had taken any action paragraph re-
vealing the conditions found APP
peared in FL PregoRera, a fugitive,
truth-telling paper, long since sup
pressed. On the following morning
the tribunal was invaded by soldiers
and a military commission declared
the court dissolved. A few hour.
later all the justices received a cur
notice Of their removal from Office
Even the bar Of Caracas was aroused
and it was resolved that no membe
Of the Bar association should accep
the posts that had been vacated il
this summary manner; however, th
necessary quota Of scamps was Sc
cured and the supreme court re
sumed business. It is to this tri
bunal, l may point out in passing
that the powers declined to submit
their claims, greatly arousirg the ir,
of the American editor thereby
though at the same time they secureJ
the approval Of every American resi-
| dent in Venezuela

ture in passing the bill which gives
the city the right to about fifteen feet

ception of the teacher of Second
Grade, B: in the West Broad Street
School all were reelected, and all OF

activity in building The seasons are
such as to allow building operations
to continue throughout the entire year,

The present summer will see many
new residences completed, and the year
will show probably the greatest num-
Der of new buildings erected in the
history of the city for a period of
twelve months.

DIRECTORS CONSIDERED
ONLY ROUTINE BUSINESS

The quarterly meeting of the direc-
tors of the Central of Georgia was
held yesterday morning and that of
the directors of the Ocean Steamship
Company in the afternoon. At the
railroad meeting little was done except
routine business, though the purchase
of a steam shovel and it's appurte-
nances and the building of a number
of sidetracks We're authorized.
Those present at the meeting were
Maj ]. F. Hanson, chairman; Messrs.
John NJ. Egan, Alexander r. Lawton
George J. Mills. Joseph Hull, S. r.
Jaques. w. c. Bradley, E. p Howell,

Col. LawtOn, Capt Henry Blum and
Mr.. Malcolm Maclean.
1t is probable that another and
special meeting of the directors of the
Central will be held the latter part
of August, at which time the state
ment of the roads business for the
fiscal year ending June 30 will be sub
mitted. This, as was stated in yester-

BR0UGHT0N STREET LIVELY
ON SATURDAY NIGHTS

The large crowds that have thronged
Broughton street Saturday nights for
the last several weeks have excited
general comment among the merchants
of that thoroUghfare. The number of
people shopping on these occasions has
been unprecedented in former years,
it is stated.
The size of the crowds and the
amount of money spent is due, Mr.. b.
II. Levy thinks. to several causes. one
of which is that the growth of the
manufactures in the vicinity of Sa-
vannah has added largely to the pop
ulation of the city; and because of
weekly payment of salaries, large
amount of money is distributed each
week. Another reason he thinks to be
found is the fact that Savannahians
generally are putting off the time Of
summer vacations from the early sum-
mer to August and September, so that
they now remain in the city much
longer than was the case formerly.
Again the many resorts in the vicln-
ity draw large crowds each Sunday
and many of those who expect to make
such trips usually have little shopping
to do the night before in preparation for
the outing. Mr.. j. c. Manning is an
other merchant who has noticed the
growing amount of Saturday shopping
1t is so heavy now, he states, that each
Saturday ne has to add from twelve
to fifteen clerks to his force to take
care of it.

A DOZEN NEGROES
FINED 500 EACH

In police court yesterday Recorder
Myrick fined twelve negroes 800 each,
or twelve months on the chaingang
for disorderly conduct and creating a
disturbance.
This was the charge on which the
men were arrested. but, the evidence
at the trial disclosing the fact that
the men had been engaged in a game
of cards in a house on Congress street
lane at o'clock Sunday morning, the
Recorder promptly imposed the fine of
800 in each case.
The names of the negroes are Morris
Johnson, Nathan Fraser, James Ed
munds, Sam Phillips, Ed Mcbride,
Marshall Johnson, David Hammond
Paul Green, Robert Lewis, John Mack
Lindsay Upshaw and Tim Matthews.
None of the fines were paid, and the
negroes were all sent to the gang.

CLUB MEMBERS MET.

Active and Pay Members of Georgia
HussHrs Held Quarterly Meeting.
The quarterly meeting of the Geor-
gia Hussars was held last night in the
armory of the troop. A large number
of the active and pay members were
present Little except routine business
was transacted.
A poll of the troop indicated that
the attendance on the encampment
will be rather slim. The men were
told that it would be possible for them
to make arrangements to answer roll
call in the morning, go to their work,
and return in the afternoon for after
noon parade. 1t is probable that quite
a number will make such an arrange
ment.
An invitation was read to the troop
from the chairman of the Committee
on Ceremonies of the Worlds Fair, in
which the members was asked to at
tend the fair. The invitation is sent
only to those commands which have a
record prior to the Revolutionary War.
Resolutions were passed by the troop
on the death of Private Robert G..
Hilton, who died several weeks ago.

WILL TRY TO
MAINTAIN PRICES.
Tank and Export Co. Thinks Naval
stores Outlook Good.

Tank and Export Co. Thinks NaNhi
stores Outlook Good.
President John r. Young of the Ma
tional Tank and Export Company
takes a hopeful view of the prospects
for the maintenance of the turpentine
market, which is now firm at 47%c
DER gallon, or about cents above the
prevailing price this time last year.
While the present demand is not
urgent it is of a steady nature, which
gives better promise of its mantle
nance, according to many. then when
the prevailing, wants of exporters are
spasmodic.
Mr.. Young, as head of the tank COM
pany. intends TO use the facilities IN
his hands for the maintenance OF
prices, though he insists that it has
not been his purpose to initiate values In
the least. On the contrary 1t has been
its policy to steady the market when
it shows signs of weakness, and there
by fulfill it's purpose in contributing m
a legitimate way TO the maintenance
of prices of turpentine in the Savan-
nah market.
THE maintenance of prices up to this
time" said President Young, has been
due to the falling off in receipts dur
ing the early months of this season,
the operations of the National Tank
and Export Company, and the hrm~
ness of Savannah factors in holding
out for prices they believed conditions
warranted. / have expressed the
opinion that this crop of turpentlne
should bring at least so cents and l
still adhere to this view. l believe this
price a fair one to producer and con-
sumner alike. We have every reason
to believe that this crop will be less
than last year owing to the backward
ness of receipts during the early
months caused by unfavorable wealth
err, and the fact that this lost time
cannot be made uD. Should we have
the most favorable weather turpentine
cannot be produced twice as fast as it
is ordinarily during good weather,
which would have to be the case If
production is to regain its lost time and
make up the shortage. With this linn
tied production staring the trade in
the face there seems no good reason
why turpentine should not keep well
around the level the producing element
believes it is worth. And as to this l
do not believe that producers are dis
posed to be unreasonable"

BIGGEST YEAR OF EXPORTS AND
IMPORTS IN SAVANNAH'S HISTORY
Imports Reached ST, o37, 446 and Exports We're
So. ,523.

The increase IN the value of imports
is due to the importation of steel rails
and billets, glass and cement, which
have been brought over in large
shipments.
The exports were the staple pro-
ducts which have formed the bulk of
exports from Savannah for many
years and show the gradual develop
ing of the commerce of the port.
The showing made by the figures
which form the basis of the an
nual reports of the collector of customs
to the Treasury Department is a re-
markable one. Twenty years ago the
exports from Savannah were $19,745,-
65S. The next year they increased $780,
OO0 From then on there has been a
gradual increase until in twenty
years the value of exports has in
creased nearly threefold.
