ACTION AGAINST CASTRO
Charged With InstieAting Assasslna.
tion of the Vice President.

Caracas, Jan. 30, via Port OF Spain.
Feb. 2.-In accordance with instruc.
tions from Senor Alcantara, minister
of the interior, the attorney general
will bring suit in the high federal
court against Cipriano Castro, the for.
mer president of Venezuela, on the
charge of having instigated the assas-
sination of President Jose Vicente
Gomez.
Minister Alcantaras communication
with the attorney general was accom-
panied by a large quantity Of docu'
mentary proof which, 1t was stated.
"was collected at the investigation into
an abortive plot against the life OF
Vice President Gomez, the consutu.
tional charge of the presidency"
Continuing the minister says In his
communication "The documents show
that the black, black conspiracy, which
happily was frustrated by the presence
of mind of the supreme magistrate,
was the result Of suggestions, advice
and orders of General Castro.
According to article 95 Of the con-
stitution, which gives the federal court
jurisdiction in this accusation, the min
istry requests the institution Of nec-
essary proceedings"
The court already has decided that
adequate proof has been furnished
for the beginning of the action against
General Castro.

LAWYERS CONTINGENT FEE
Subject of Debate by New York Bar
Association.


The 32nd annual meeting of the
State Bar association was held In Buf
falo last week. Adelbert Moot OF
Buffalo was elected president to sue
ceed Francis Lynde Stetson OF New
York.
The acceptance by a lawyer OF a
contingent fee, which has been the
subject of debate for years, was the
cause of a lengthy discussion. The
position finally taken by the associ'
alton is defined in the code of ethics
of the American Bar association
which was adopted in its entirety by
the state organization.
The canon on contingent fees says
that where sanctioned by law they
shall be under the supervision of the
court "in order that tents may be
protected from unjust charges"
Papers by DIR. r. B. Lamb, superin.
tendent of Matteawan State hospital,
and State Commissioner Of Lunacy
Sheldon T.Viele created a profound I'M
preston and were referred to a COM
mittee for further consideration. Stat
istics collected by DR.. Lamb show that
27 out of "a patients released from
Matteawan on court orders had COM
mitted criminal acts, II of that mum.
ber being charged with murder.
1T seems to me-" said DR.. Lamb,
that such a record as this should gain
some modification of the present law
whereby lunatics, and especially those
dommittng murder, should be dealt
with by a tribunal having individual
responsibility"

TAX LAW CHANGES ADVISED
Auditor Would Relieve Real Estate
of Part of Its Burden.

Harrisburg, Feb. 2.-The creation Of
a commission to thoroughly study the
problem of equitable taxation in Penn
sylvania, which should seek out the
classes of property now exempt rather
than increase the burden on those
now paying, is the idea of Auditor
General Robert Kennedy Young In his
annual report on the finances, which
has just been laid on the desk of Gov
ernor Stuart.
Among the classes now exempt from
taxation. but which he mentions as
available, are trust funds in the hands
of banks, trust companies and savings
institutions, personal property which
is not returned because of laws which
do not strictly hold the local assessor
to his duty, the stock Of manufacturing
corporations and lastly bank deposits.
He proposes readjustment Of the
methods of taxation whereby relief
will be extended to the real estate
owners.
The report, which deals with taxa
ton questions in an unreserved man.
ner, is presented about half year in
advance of the best time ever made on
a similar report. The fiscal year closed
on the last day of November, and in
years gone by it took anywhere from
six months to year to get the report
in shape for submission to the gov
ernor.
General Young hands in the usual
statistical table, but he prefaces 1t
with general discussion of the affairs
of his office, in which he calls attention
to the fact that it is conducted on old
time and unsuited legislation and that
10 make it more satisfactory and eff
Client the enactment Of new statutes Is
necessary.

ROBBERS SHOOT
AND KILL FARMER
Visiting NeIghbOr Escapes With
Money In a Kettle.

Lancaster Pa, Feb. AT s o'clock
Sunday night, while Alfred kaufman,
an aged farmer Of Pequea township,
this county, was sitting at the bedside
Of his sick wife, in company with Mr.
Kreider and Mrs. Cramer, two neigh
ors, two masked men entered the room
and demanded money.
The sick woman called to Mrs. Cra-
mer to give them what was in kettle
in the room. Mrs. Cramer picked up
the kettle containing the money and
fed.
The men shot at her, then turned
and shot Mr.. kaufman in the neck
and killed him. They then shot Mr..
Kreider twice and dangerously injured
him. The robbers fled and have not
been captured.
The Haullmans some years ago lost
money in a bank failure and have
since kept their cash in their house in
a kettle. 1t is supposed that the rob-
bers knew this and were after 1t.

BOTH COMPANIES FILE SUITS
Court of Admiralty to Decide Blame
For Nantucket Collision.

Just what ship was responsible for
the Nantucket collision, in which the
White Star liner Republic was sunk
and the Italian liner Florida damaged,
and which company will pay the dam
ages, will be decided by the court Of
admiralty.
Both companies have filed suits.
That of the owners of the Republic
claimed damages of $2,000,000 and re-
cited, in concise legal form, the story
of the marvellous sea disaster. The
blame for the collision was placed on
the Florida and the claim made that
the last named ship was going ahead
at an ''immoderate rate of speed" when
the crash came.
The owners of the Florida also filed
libel suit and a petition for limita-
tion of liability against the Florida.
The petitioners asked that their liabil.
ity, in case the suits are decided
against them, be placed at 1924, 900,
the damage value of the Florida.
The Florida owners allege that the
collision was due to the neglect of
the Republics officers.

STEAMERS RUDDER BROKEN
ST. Louis Reached Port "a Hours Late
Under Own Steam.

New York, Feb. 2.-The American
line steamship st. Louis, which lost
the two lower sections of her rudder
In the heavy seas Thursday 1,200 miles
from Sandy Hook, reached her dock
about twenty-four hours behind her
schedule. She steamed her way in
by her twin screws, at reduced speed,
and two tugs acted as rudders for her
coming up the bay.
There was no excitement among
the passengers following the acci'
dent. They were kept in ignorance Of
the mishap until Friday, when bullet
In was posted in the cabin expaining
the cause of the ships slow progress.
1t will be necessary to drydock the
liner to repair her rudder. Permis-
sion was obtained from the govern.
ment authorities to use the Brooklyn
navyyard drydock. 1t is likely she will
be taken there after her cargo has
been unloaded.
