CASTRO IS DRIVEN
FROM MARTINIQUE
Former President of Venezuela to Be Notified to Leave
Isle and Keep Off French Tentory--Steamer
Rumor Revived.

PARIS. April S.-Cipriano Castro. one
time president OF Venezuela, now a So
journer on the Isle of Martinique will
today receive official notice to leave at
once and not TO land again on French
territory. Although the government de-
cfded yesterday that he was not to be
given an asylum at Fort de France, it
was not until today that the official
report Of the governor Of Martinique.
that he was staying there. was re-
ceived.
The foreign office at once prepared
the decree of expulsion and it has been
cabled to Martinique. There is much
speculation as to where Castro will
now take refuge.
The report that he has a steamer
under charter at an American port
has been revived and II is reported that
he may sail on It TO some point where
he could get into communication with
his sympath!zers who still remain In
Venezuela
That he will eventually be able to
start revolution in his native country
is still believed here

The Ways and Means Committee snd
the Republican organization met an
other defeat today when II attempted
to amend the wire schedule sc that No.
Is gUage wire would be taxed at Ia
cents a pound. an increase If Il OF a
cent owe rthe figures now fixed in the
Payne bill
Champ Clark offered an amendment
to the committee amendment making
the duty 4 of { cent a pound and the
committee fought in vain to stave OFF
the adoption Of the Clark amendment,
and it went into the bill at p of cent
a pound by a vote Of 155 to 146.
TIE comparative ease with which
the Democrats. assisted by Republican
insurgents, have overriden the Ways
and Means Committee during the past
two days has given a great deal of
encouragement to the memb of the
House who are dissatisfied with the
Payne bill, and IT is predicted that
when the bill comes into the House
tomorrow for final action, several i'm
portant changes may be made, before
the vote is taken at o'cloak in the
afternoon.
The most important amendment TO
the bill made today was an Increase in
the duty on Swedish or charcoal iron
from IS ton to so a ton The duty in
the Dingley law is 81. bus the Ways
and Means Committee reduced this to Sc
Several amendments were adopted
changing certain Of the paragraphs from
an ad vdlorem TO a specific duty. Mr.
Hitchcock Of Nebraska put an end to
the informal manner IN which the
amendments we're being adopted, when
he insisted that Chairman Payne ex-
plain the purpose Of every one Of the
amendments

Committee on Ways and Means. and

SENATE CENSUS BILL
REDUCES ELIGIBLES
Applicants Must Live in
State Whence They
Apply.

In reporting the census bill to the
Senate this afternoon, the Census
Committee made a number of changes
in the measure passed by the House.
One OF these promises to be of much
Importance TO number of applicants
for positions in the Government SER
vice who are credited to various States
and Territories for g. considera BILE
period. The amendment provides;
"That hereafter all examinations OF
applicants for positions in the Gov
eminent service, from any State or
Territory. shall be held in the Gov
ernment service, from any State or
Territory in which such applicant re-
sides, and no person shall be eligible
for such examination or appointment
unless he or she shall have been ac-
tually domiciled in such State or
Territory for at least one year pre-
vious TO such examination"
The effect of this amendment, which
is understood to apply not merely 10
the Census Bureau. but to the Coy
ernment service generally, will be to
shut Off applicants for positions in the
Government service who desire to be
credited to any particular State or
Territory. but do not live there.
What Effect Will Be.
Under this amendment, many per-
sons in the District. especially the
children OF Government employees.
who desire to be credited 20 a partic-
ular State or Territory would not be
eligible TO examination unless they
had lived for a year in that State or
Territory.
A number OF other changes are made
in the bill. II requires that the addi-
tional employee for the next census be
selected by civil service examination
It retains the provision Of the House
bill for the appointment OF the employees
among the various States.
At the same time the Director of the
Census is given authority. If the ext
gencies of the service require. TO ap-
point those who are Immediately avail

conditions and those who have had

the homecoming" idea over. Besides
giving the plan his hearty Endorsement,
Mr.. Croker is understood to have
pledged financial assistance.
Settling back in an easy chair in the
lobby of the New Willard this morning,
the veteran political ruler declared that,
while be would never give up his Amer

were entirely with the people Of the
Emerald Isle in their hopes for ma

Gomez is doing everything possible TO
prevent the return of Castro.
Administration circles fear that unless
Castro is summarily disposed Of in the
event Of his return. he viii be able to
create the gravest disorders. The story
that he is coming back merely 70 look
after his business in this country Is
credited BY no one.
he still has many prominent friends,
who would be only too glad to lend
their aid 10 any Castro movement in
order to be avenged upon the admins
tration for indignities suffered at the
time of Castro's overthrow.
The charge Of being in a conspiracy
TO murder President Gomez still stands
against Castro and the president has
ordered his arrest the moment he lands.
