President Castro came ashore and pro-
ceeded to Bordeaux in Il special car.
The announcement is made that the
President will go to Paris tomorrow
but he himself has not confirmed this
and his future movements are in doubt.
1t was believed to be the intention
of the government to exact an apology
from President Castro before permit
ting him to land, but apparently Il
communication received by the gov
ernment from NJ Merlou, to the effect
that Castro was anxious to arrange Il
settlement of the differences between
the two countries and the interview
which the governments representative
had with the President at Pauillao
combined to bring about 4 change in
the plan. This evening an agent of NJ.
PichOn, the foreign minister, informed
President Castro that he would be
welcomed as "a private citizen and that
as Il chief Of state he would be given
protection during his sojourn in France.
4 member oi the President s suite said
tonight that upon CaStroS arrival in
Paris. whether that happens to be to-
morrow or the following day. he Will
send repre- sentative to NJ. Pichon to
convey his thanks for the courtesl"s
extended to him ut Bordeaux, THIS

the. commencement of negotiations
with the French government
The same official, acting under in
structons from Castro, explained that
the Venezuelan President did not deem
ii advisab @ to make q public declara-
tion with reference to the international
position of Venezuela. because this
might be misunderstood and might
provoke discussion which would en-
barrass any prospective negotiations.

George Benson in his cell in the Waldo
county Jail has read the daily papers
and heard many tales of his arrest on
the night of the shooting of Miss Stella
Moore and wishes to make a statement
in his own behalf. This morning he
sent the following letter to the Journal

on the subject:

charge of murder in the first degree.
The lone juror maintained his position
for four ballots and after that was
joined by another in voting for con-
viction on lesser charge.
The case had attracted unusual at
tention not only because of the prOini-
renee of the victim of the killing, who
was one Of the leading physicians and
surgeons of the city, and the mystery
surrounding the tragedy, but because
of the family connections OF the de-

Of Thursday forenoon. A distinct fea
ture was 4 paper upon Bovine T'uber-
culosis' by Hon. John Nj. Deering of
Saco, a member of the State Board of
Cattle Commissioners. This paper was
in some ways remarkable. 1t contained
many things of vital interest to the
GARY interests Of Maine and to the
consumers Of milk III general.
MI Deering took up at length the
conditions in this country His figure.
in comparison with the ravages OF tu-
bercuosis in other countries were
highly interesting. That this country
ranks ahead of all Other countries with
the exception of Holland was proved
Comirg down to Maine and the work
of the Cattle Commission was the most
interesting part. Telling what had been
done to wipe out the disease in Maine
during the past year, he said the Cat
tie Commission has paid about 100000
to owners of animals taken. The eX-
pense of the Cattle Commission has
been about $4,000 additional. MIR. Deer
ing stated that with suitable appro~
pration the conditions in Maine can
be practically wiped out He stated
that about $l75,000 would be necessary
to do this work and with this; amount
Of money to pay full value OF ANNALS
to owners Mr. DeerinG estimates that
in one years time over half the cows
in Maine will have been tested.
Hon. F. O. Beal of Bangor, chairman
of the Cattle Commission. also spoke
briefly in a discussion which followed
Mr.. Deering's paper. Mr.. Beal claims
that Maine is much more free from tu-
berculosis among cattle than any other
State in the Union.
DR.. Purcell of Biddeford was present
and took part in discussion which fol-
lowed the presentation of Mr. Deering' $
paper. DR. Purcell criticized the Board

tent for not presenting to the Legis-
lature the needs in 4 strong fashion
