today Representative Humphrey Of
Washington took issue with some
statements made by Mr.. Payne in his
opening speech regarding the num-
ber of Orientals engaged in the lum-
ber mills of British Columbia. Chair
man Payne" ne said, "left the i'm
preston that there were fewer ORR
entails working in such mills there
than in the state Of Washington. That
statement was erroneous" He de-
clared that over fifty per cent of the
men engaged in the lumber and shin
gle mills of British Columbia were
Orientals, who were paid lower wages
than American mill laborers and that
therefore the cost of production was
less. On the authority of Representa-
tive Fordney of Michigan. the WASH
ington member asserted that the wit
nesses before the committee on ways
and means who WAIVED lumber put in
the free list were men interested In

CASTRO FORCED
TO LEAVE SHIP
Steamship Company Refused
to Garry Him to Venezuelan
Port

Bordeaux, March 26.-"If am q
criminal why haven't my accusers the
courage to allow me to return to
Venezuela and defend myself?" ex-
claimed Cipriano Castro this morning
when an agent Of the French steam
ship company officially informed him
that he must leave the ship Guade-
loupe on which he sails today, before
that steamer reaches Venezuela. The
former Venezuelan president was furi-
GUS at the action taken by the steam
ship company. He entered an auto
mobile and was driven to the offices
of the company where he indulged in
a TRADE against Juan Viconte Gomez,
president of the republic. "All I ask
Is the right to a fair trial." he de-
clared.
II am prepared to accept the re-
suit. The refusal of Gomez to per-
init me to enter Venezuela is over
whelming proof that they have no
case against me, but realize that If
| land on Venezuelan soil, their game
is up" Castro's protestation were all
in vain, however. and he had to ac-
cept tickets to Port OF Spain, Trini-
dad only. His words here leave no
doubt Of his intention to try to or
ganize a revolution to overthrow his
enemies and re-establish himself at
Caracas.

Boarding House-Stin Alive

Fargo, N. D., March 26.-Presum-
ably respondent because he was out

failure OF money that he had expect
cd to arrive, F. Agee Russell, aged 10
years, who Oh Wednesday evening
graduated from the three-year short
course term Of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college. this morning at $40
O'Clock attempted to commit suicide
BY firing three bullets into his head.
Two OF the leaden messengers Of
death entered his brain but the
Woufd-be suicide failed to strike the
vital spot, and Is now in st. Luke's
hospital lowering between life and
death, with chances Of recovery very
slight.
The attempted suicide took place in
the young mans room in his boarding
house. He had retired last evening
seemingly in the best of health and
spirits. This morning, on being
called for breakfast he responded
that he did not care foc anything to
eat, remaining in his ROOM At about
$3.50 o'clock the proprIetress of the
boarding house left her home to go to
the butcher shop, and at about that
time and for short while before,
she had heard the young man pacing
the floor of his room. When she re-
turned home ten minutes later, just
as she was entering the yard, she
heard q shot upstairs. Rushing to the
room occupied by Russell she was
startled to find him lying on the floor
with blood flowing freely from his
wounds, while nearby lay the still
smoking revolver that he had used.
Though still breathing the young
man was in critical condition when
he was hurried away in the hospital
ambulance few minutes later and
placed in st. Lalko's.
Examination Of the unfortunate
young mans head at the hospital re-
vealed the fact that cne bullet, evil
IDENTIFY fired directly into or at the
head from the front. had glanced to
one side, while. a second bullet had
entered the skull just beside the right
eye, the other bullet lodging directly
back Of the ear. The two latter bull
lets are etill in the boys BRAIN.
Russell had always been regarded

week he received his diploma as a
graduate Of the short course term,
having spent three winters in Fargo.
He was not rounder, always appear

caused great shock to his many
friends.
The father Of young Russell, who
resides at Buchanan, Stutsman coun-
ty. and who Is engaged in farming,
was expected to arrive here this
morning but failed to do 30. and will
probably reach here this evening.
