CASTRO BEHIND
A REVOLUTION
WANTS To RE-
TURN TO VENEZUELA.
Friends Declare He VIII Never Rest
Until He Furnishes All Who
Were Responsible.
WOULD OVERTHROW GOMEZ

Caracas, Tuesday, Nov. 2S.-For-
mer President Castro, an exile in San
lander, Spain, is accused daily by
the highest officials of the Venezuelan
government of attempting to foment
la revolution against the Gomez re-
gime. The continued agitation caused
by the wholesale arrests of Castro
partisans. by the recent sensational
split in the Liberal party when an at
tempt was made to reorganize IL, and
by the near approach of the next SEES
sion OF congress, which will elect a
constitutional president for four
years, has stirred political feeling I'M
til again today a spirit of unrest and
uncertainty exists.
Either a serious condition of af-
fairs does exist In Venezuela, due TO
steps being taken by the overthrown
dictator to wreak vengeance on Pres
ident Gomez. or there is an object
which inspires the government to
make It appear that Castro is busy
comforting with his followers. This
object. the opponents of Gomez say,
Is perhaps to Justify the wholesale
ARRESTS which have been made
Castro Fighter.
Everyone believes Castro will new
err rest until he has made another eff
fort to ruin those who were RESPONSE
BILE for his ignominous downfall.
Times are hard for his friends in Ven
lezuela today. The following are
among many notables now anguish
ing in the same prisons which they
once filed with their enemies:
II. Tello Mendoza, Castro's boon
companion and financier, who made
millions for himself: Simon Bello
Castro's brother-in-law; Trino Cas-
tro. Castro's brother; II. Castillo
Chapellin, chief of the Castro party
in the late congress, and Gen. Celes-
tino Peraza, leader of the opposition
in congress.
Peraza was jailed because he was
about TO start a newspaper to Oppose
recollection to Gomez.

 In the petition Mrs. Taylor, as ad- ministrator for the Taylor estate. sued for $lO000. She also asked for damages in the sum of $30,000 for herself and children. Ii was alleged athat John Lites. general manager for the lumber company and acting for the railroad company, ordered Taylor onto a nat car of a train. which was operated to point near Grapevine for the purpose of rendering atten- ; tion to a sick mule. While sitting on the end of the fiat car and with the 2 train running backwards, Taylor was a knocked from the car by log which ssextended over the tracks. The two f flat cars passed over his body and he died few hours later. The plaint- < ifs were represented by Attorneys { Leslie and Bouic, of Hot Springs, and Austin and Danaher. of this city
 Attorneys Taylor and Jones, ot < this city and Pitt Holmes, oi Rison, were counsel for the lum- Der company and the railroad. They contended that Taylor was not ! ordered onto the train, but was there unsol cited; that he sat in a hazard ous position on the end of the car and that his defth was due to his sspn carelessness and negligence.

 Attorney Alexander II. Rowell, for- mer representative from this county. and 5rother-in-law of Day, returned Tuesday morning from Rison, where his hrother-in-law will be able to prove 8 clear case of self-defense. but would give no statement to the press as coming from Day or himself. With

 Another Eye Witness.
 Attorney T. Havis Nixon, who has been employed as leading counsel for
 the prosecution with Attorney Pitt Holmes, of Rison, also returned Tues

 rcdiately after the tragedy Monday
 It is stated that there is another eye
 witness to the killing, whose state- n'ent Attorney Nixon will not give out at this time. Some significance is given the purchase of two railroad tickets by Day on the morning of the ; tragedy by the states counsel. One of them was to Pine Bluff and return an1 the other was to Cabool and re- turn.
 Mondays tragedy is the one all-in- | portant topic in Pine Bluff.

Men Of Letters Have Few Children
Brainy People Don't Practice

Paris.-Figures compiled by the
well-known scientist, jacques Bertil-
Ion, just published, have entirely up
set the oft-repeated statement on the
depopulation question In France to the
effect that the rate of increase among
those with fair incomes is normal the
decrease being due to unfavorable eco
nomic conditions affecting the work
Ing population, who are unable to
raise large or even modest families.
M. Bertillons figures have been col
lected during period Of two years
They show that the average working
mans family consists of three and
one-half children for Paris and three
children for the provinces, while TAX
ing that part Of the population Of
Paris composed of artists, writer's,
scuiptors. musicians, professors and
persons in easy circumstances de-
voted to intellectual pursuits, it is dis
covered that for every 445 men there
are just 575 children.
If. says M.$Bertillon, all France tmi.
tated the upper classes, then before
thirty years the population would be
reduced one-half. He goes on to say
that the secret OF the depopulation Of
the country is not due to race suicide
among the lower classes. Eo-called, nor
to the severe conditions OF life bear
Ing hardest upon them. 1t is, he says,
due to the self-exterminating conduct
of the upper classes. who, like their
kind elsewhere. are ready to preach
