BOOKING TAFT's JOURNEY
New York Central Will Carry Presi-
dent on Start of Long Tnp-Two
Days Will Be Spent in Los Angeles.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 11.-Secretary
Carpenter had an extended conference
today with representatives OF the New
York Central railroad. who are MAX
ing detailed arrangements for the
presidents "trip thru the west and
south. AS the president starts from
Boston for Chicago over the New York
Central. that road has undertaken the
task of completing the bookings,
schedules, ETC., for the entire two
months of the journey. As a result of
the conference, some changes have
been made in the time of the arrival
and departure from various places. It
has been found that the president can
remain in Los Angeles two nights in
stead of one and be able to reach the
grand canyon in time to spend the en-
tire day there. Taft viii visit his sis
ter at Los Angeles, which accounts for
the longer stop that he will make there
than at some other coast cities.

Castro owned q mi1lion dollars Of
cigaret shares, given him as q share
In the promotion of the cigaret trust
A few weeks ago the directors of the
cigaret company sold the five million
dollar concern to a private individual
Senor Garcia Guerra, for $250,000, per
cent Of its capitalized value, notwith-
standing that on the same day the
shares were quoted on the exchange
at 25 per cent premium. The next step
was the formation of a new company
which took in all the old stockholders
except Castro. Then there was issued
an order by the commercial court to
have $50000, which corresponded to 5
per cent of the purchase price Of Cas-
tro stock, deposited in the bank Of
Venezuela to the order Of whoever
might be the holder of this stock. So
In one day, one million dollars OF good
money became fifty thousand. This fif-
ty thousand was Immediately attached
by individuals who have lawsuits
against Castro.
The sequel was the arrival few
days ago Of a German citizen, Theo-
dore Hauer with million dollars of
cigaret shares, who claims that these
belong to him by virtue Of purchase
from Castro. He has engaged counsel,
and will begin an action against the
perpetrators Of the alleged illegal re-
organization.
