The mention of Gov Cummins' name
was received with varying emotions
by the members of the Iowa delega-

II the governors candidacy should be

Emery Answers Fuller.


An answer to Mr.. Fuller was made
by J. A. Emery of New York, general
counsel for the National Association
Of Manufacturers. Mr.. Emery pointed
put first that the legislators of the
Republican party in the house had de-
termined that as law makers they
would not attempt to invade the judi
cial realm by changing a practice
which had been developed during the
past 700 years for the protection of
both property rights and mixed per-
sonal and property rights. The rem
edy, If in any single instance injustice
had been done, was in the impeach-
ment of the judge, he said. 1t would

Dor troubles on the law instead of the

CASTRO'S DEPUTY
TURNS ON CHIEF
Gomez Sets Tx New Government In
Venezuela.
Names New Cabinet in Place of Old
Rebels Cowed by Force-Country
in Turmoil and Censorship Estab-
lished - Comes Takes Action in
Self Defense.

Port of Spain, Dec. 22.-Vice-
President J Vincent Gomez. to whom
General Cipriano Castro handed over
the presidency on his departure for
Europe, has established new govern
ment in Venezuela. He has replaced
the old ministry with new body OF
men. who represent various factions in
the state and who have figured prom
inently in various ways in the coun-
try's political history.
Not only has Dr. Jose de Jesus Paul
disappeared from the councils of the
nation, but DR. Baldo. who is now
travelling in Castro's suite abroad, also
has been removed from his official
position as minister of education
General Diego Ferren, the minister OF
war. has been superseded BY General
Redulo Olivares, who took a promi-
nent part in crushing the revolution
lists six years ago. A new governor
Of Caracas has been appointed.
Secret advices from Caracas, where
the strictest censorship is being OBJ
served. indicate that the whole OF
Venezuela has been in ferment ever
since President Castro sailed, and that
the crisis was reached few days ago
when it became necessary for Acting
President Gomez to take decisive
steps.
The revolutionary factions played a
prominent part in the demonstration
against the absent president These
were temporarily checked by a show
of force. and later the revolutionary
influence that threatened to sweep the
country was overcome in a measure
| by promises that could not be held
long in allegiance.
The establishment of a new govern
ment in Venezuela has been expected
daily, and it is probable that it was
| the outcome of the demands which
| began almost the day that Castro
sailed for Europe
| Gomez was far from secure. 1t was
brought forcibly home to him that he
must either withdraw from that office
or cast aside those of Castro's minis
tiers who still were trying to force the
Castro rule upon the people. Appar
emily he chose the latter course.
He first declared the country in {
state of defense, thereby securing con
troll of the army, and then appointed
a new cabinet
On several other occasions whei
Castro has turned over the govern
ment to Vice President Gomez it wa
freely predicted that Gomez woult
succeed Castro as president of the re

SEEKING WAR INSTRUCTORS.
Berlin Paper Says Castro Will Add
Army and Navy.

Berlin, Dec. 21.-The Berlin Neuste
Nachrichten yesterday printed An ar
ticle from a well-inlormed source
warning the German press against
adopting an unfriendly attitude toward
President Castro, OF Venezuela. The
writer says that Germany's business
interests should cause the newspapers
to refrain from offensive illusions,
such as "ex-cowboy" and president
of a robber state
Castro, the article continues, is con
sidering a large addition to the equip
ment of both army and navy. and is
thinking OF placing the orders in Ger
many. The Venezuelan president is
also seeking instructors for his mill
tary academy. recently established in
Caracas, and is likely to give prefer
ence to officers from the Germany
army. All this leads the Neuste
Nachrichten writer to hope that Ger
many will strive to obtain a perma-
nent influence politically and econom-
ically i'll Venezuela.
Many of the newspapers in their
weekly political reviews deal with
Senior Castro's visit in connection with
the Venezuelan situation. The Tage-
| blatt says
THE German government cannoi
much longer show favor toward tht
president unless he gives assurance:
that Venezuela will fulfill the obliga
tons"
A notable fact is hat the semi-of
fetal Nord Deutchc Allegemein,
Zeitung utterly ignores the presenc,
of Senior Castro. Such a course ha
never before been adopted when tn,
chief of a forign state was visitin,
Germany, although in a priva7e ca
pacity.

Francisco chamber Of commerce and
member OF the executive committee
who said:
I'VE deem it unjust that the traffic
managers should have arranged these

SULTAN LIKE CRIMINAL.
Resembles Stage Shylock in Shabby
Overcoat at Mosque.

Constantinople, Turkey, Dec 10
The scene before the mosque of st
Sofia at the opening of the Turkish
parliament as the sultan reached the
parliament house after his four-mile
journey by land, exceeded anything
that had been imagined beforehand.
Thousands of persons were clustered on
the roofs, pillars and buttresses of the
ancient church, two mullahs even
standing on the summit of the dome.
Trees, windows and the fat roofs of
houses were. crowded with spectators.
No other such multitude has gathered
in Constantinople in 500 years, yet
throughout the entire day no disorder
whatever was observed.
There was a deadly hush when the
sultan entered his box and everybody
stood up. Bent and clad in a shabby
overcoat, without a single decoration,
the sultan bore a remarkable resem-
blance to a stage Shylock, and looked
rather like a criminal in the dock than
a ruler blessing his people.
