CASTRO HAS PLANS
TO START REVOLT

BORDEAUX, March 26.-'If am a
criminal, why haven't my accusers the
courage to allow me to return to Vene-
zuela and defend myself?' exclaimed Clip
riano Castro this morning, when an agent
of the French Steamship company official
ly informed him that he must leave the
steamer Guadelope, on which he sails to-
day. before the steamer reaches Vene-
zuela.
The former Venezuelan president was
furious at the action taken by the steam
ship company. He entered an automobile
and was driven to the offices of the conf
pany, where he INDUCED in a TRADE
against Juan Vicente Gomez, president OF
the republic.
"All 1 ask is the right to fair trial"
he declared. 81 am prepared to accept
the result. The refusal of Gomez to permit
me to return to Venezuela is overwhelm-
ing proof that they have no case against
me- but realize that if 1 set foot on Ven
ezuelan soil their game is up"
Castro's protestations were all in vain,
however and he had to accept tickets to
Port of Spain, Trinidad, only. His words
here leave no doubt of his intention to try
to organize a revolution to overthrow his
enemies and re-estabIish himself at Cara
cas-.
After Castro returned to his hotel from
the steamship office he had a long con-
ference with a Mr.. Roy, the agent of
Paris company engaged in the manufae-
ture of arms. 1t is believed that the mat
ter of shipment of arms was discussed.
As the party was leaving for Paulliac,
where they will go on board the Guada-
loupe, Carmelo Castro, the former presi-
dents brother, said the president" was
waiting important kilograms which might
affect his plans.
Castro then asked the Associated Press
to announce that his brother desired TO
enter a worldwide protest against the
refusal of the French Steamship COM
pany to covey him to Venezuela, declar-
ing that the world would appreciate the
fragrant violation of international law in

REFEREE SYSTEM
WILL GUIDE TAFT

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Clay today for the first time, visited
President Taft and spent ten or fifteen
minutes with him. The interview was
along social lines and the visit had no
political significance. The senator ex-
presses the view, however, that Mr.. Taft
will pursue the same policy followed by
Colonel Roosevelt relative to the distri-
button of federal patrons in the south.
I'm my judgment" said Senator Clay,
President Taft will allow the federal ref
erees to control appointments in the south
where, in the judgment of the president,
such appointees as are recommended are
persons of high character and qualified
for the duties Of the Office to which they
aspire. q '.. <a..'-. s-

THE HAPPY SOCIALIST
AND PETERED OUT TRUST

Charles Edward Russell writes in a
most interesting fashion about Socialism
in the January Hamptons Magazine. He
says:
The whole world is being irresistibly
driven toward the socialisttc program, and
not by arguments but by events. The So
lcialist knows that socialism is inevitable.
not because Of any set reasons nor By
propaganda, nor by conversions, but be-
cause evolution, the process Of conditions.
the fmmutable laws of human develop
ment make 1t as certain as the SUN. He
knows that a man to whom this fact Is
obseured today will see it very clearly to-
morrow. Hence the socialist is not much
concerned because he knows that the
stars in their course are fighting for him.
If ever the process seems to him slow
he has but to reflect upon the trust, which
is socialism's best friend.
Just as the co-partnership was an in
eyitable development from the single in
dividual effort, and the firm was an in
evitable development from the co-partner-
Ship and the small company from the
firm. and the great corporation from the
small company, so the trust was an in
evitable development from the great corr
poration, and socialism will be an newt
able development from the trust. The
trust is in fact, kind Of socialism, ex-
cept that IL is conducted for the per-
sonal profit OF few men. Socialism is to
conduct it for the benefit Of the pub
lie.
The trust, of course. like its predeces-
sors the great corporation, the small COM
pany. the firm, the co-partnership. Is only
"a stage I'm industrial evolution, which
tends steadfastly toward greater economy
and greater efficiency in production. You
might as we'll expect water to run up
hill as evolution TO go backward. The
trust succeeds the great corporation be-
cause the trust affords greater economy
and greater efficiency. But the trust own
led by a few and conducted for private
profits is an impossible proposition In
democracy, because the power with which
it clothes its owners is greater than the
power of any government on earth, be-
cause il reduces large numbers of men to
Industrial slavery, and because it segre-
gates for its owners too much Of the
wealth of the land. Hence the trust in
itself is doomed and will be of short life;
and inasmuch as no power on earth can
break up the trust so as to restore the
days of competition, the obvious and only
solution of the problem is that the gov
eminent shall own the trusts and oper-
ate them for the common good.

HARTMAN TO QUIT
MANY RAILROAD DUTIES

NEW YORK. March 21-Wall street
and men prominent in railroad circles are
inclined to accept as a fact the report
from the Pacific coast that f. H. Harri-
man has formed a special consulting
board with a view to relieving himself of
some of his vast duties.
1t is generally accepted also that he
will soon retire from the presidency of
the Union and Southern Pacific rail-
roads. This does not, however, mean
that Mr.. Hartman would take any less
interest in the activity of the system.
James ]. Hill resigned the presidency of
the Great Northern, but continued to
dominate the road more than ever.

SOCIETY WOMAN
ENDS LIFE WITH GAS

WASHINGTON, March 26-Nothing so
sensational as the suicide here yesterday
by asphyxiation of Mrs. Pierre Lorillard
Jr., the wife of the tobacco magnate, has
occurred in the national capitol for years,
The prominence OF the family and the air
of mystery surrounding the tragic al
fair lends peculiar interest TO the case.
Washington was almost dumbfounde0
when the news concerning the affair be-
came generally known intimate friends
OF the family heard of the woman's tragic
end late yesterday, but it was not until
to-day that the news became generally
known.
Coroner NeviH stated today that ne had
in his possession the sealed envelope,
which Mrs. Lorillard left pinned to her
clothing. and which read: ITO be buried
with me unopened as well as another
envelope which was left in the room,
containing a note, but he says he will
not make public the contents of either
of these because he had been requested
not to do so.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed, although IL is expected inter-
ment will be made at Irvington, n. Y.
Leaving a dinner party, a scene
OF social splendor and gayeJy,
Mrs. PIERRE LOrillard, Jr.. aged
4s, wife of the tobacco king, went
TO her home, entered the bathroom in her
apartments. turned on the gas and died of
asphyxiatiOn.
Weary of the gay whirl OF society and
face to face. as she believed, with years
OF physical suffering, the death was made
more dramatic by occurring only a few
hours after Mr. and Mrs. Lorillard had
been the guests OF Mrs. Townsend on
Massachusetts, avenue at a dinner given
in honor Of Lady Paget. In fact, it Is
believed that as soon as Mrs. Lorillaro
arrived at her home at 1880 Hillyer place.
she began to prepare for her death.
About $50 O'Clock Thursday morning the
butler of the Lorillard residence detected
an odor of gas permeating the rooms
fumes was traced to Mrs. Lorillard's
apartments. Opening the door Of the bath
room. just of of her suite, the butler was
Mortified to behold the body Of the mis-
tress Of the house stretched out lifeless
on the floor. Her face was turned to the
mat on the floor.
The alarm given by the butler brought
Mr.. Lorillard from his apartments across
the hall. Together they carried the limp
body of Mrs. LOrillard 30 her room. The
servant was dispatched for DOCTOR
while Mr. Lorillard attempted to revive
his wife by means of artificial respira-
ton. DIR. NJ. r. Cuthbert, the family
physician. was summoned, and arrived
about the same time that DR.. H. r. Deale
was admitted to the residence. Both re-
sorted TO every method within their pow
er to restore life, but after an hours eff
fort, gave up.

GEORGIA PEACH IS
UNHURT BY FROST
OFFICIALS OF GEORGIA FRUIT
GROWERS EXCHANGE BE
IIEVE CROP Is NOW PRACTI-
CALLY BEYOND DANGER.

IT seems that the Georgia peach crop
for 1909 may be safely said to be prac-
ticaIIy without the pale of danger with
reference to the possibility of serious
damage from severe frost or freeze. Such
is the opinion of the officials of the Geor-
eia Fruit Growers exchange here, ana
similar reports are received from Adairs-
Vile Ca. the heart of the alberta sta
ton OF northern Georgia.
AS the orchards about Adairsville are
the ones that are farthest north In. the
state. they are the ones most likely to
be affected by the cold. The fact that
they are pronounced safe by the principal
growers of that section is pretty gooo
indication that the 1909 peach crop
throughout the state is in good. way TO
bring a normal crop in point of quantity,
and one that will be most satisfactory IN
the quality of fruit produced.
AS the report that the crops about
Adairsville are safe is a significant fact
1t Is interesting to note the dates dur
ing the past decade, at which the peach
trees there have been observed in fun
bloom. From the cooperative meteoro-
logical observer at AdairsYille, who re-

FUTURE WARFARE
/. TO Be NOISELESS
NOISE OF RIFLE HAS BEEN ST.
LENCED BY MAXIM'S LATEST
INVENTION-Nl
/. APPLIED TO CANNONS.

In the future the soldiers of the United
States will fight their battles in silence,
and the rattle of musketry and the boom
of cannon will become thing of the past
Such is the opinion of the army officials
at the department of the gulf Mars Will
no longer revel in noise and buster, but
will become god of mystery and silence
Not that guns and cannon will become
obsolete as weapons of warfare, for there
is little indication at present among the
great nationas of heating their swords in
to ploughshares and their spears into
pruning hooks. But the wizardry of in
vention has fashioned a simple device
whereby the noise of rifle is practically
silenced. The name of Maxim is associ-
ated with this as with so many other IN
Yentions in the realms of warfare.
The invention consists of a small sheet
steel tube about an inch and a half in di-
ameter and from four to six inches in
length, which may be easily fitted over
the end of any rifle TO make its discharge
noiseless. AS the noise of rifle dis
charge is caused by the sudden liberation
of gunpowder gases, occurring immedi-
ately after the base of the bullet has
left the muzzle of the gun, the silencer is
so arranged that the gases, instead Of be-
ing liberated suddenly, are forced into
spiral groove, running around In this man
ner until they finally come out with very
little noise. 49,. -.t
Tests Successful
At the tests held thus far il is said that
practically the only noises heard when
the siencer was used was the click OF
the gun mechanism upon firing, the whizz
of the bullet hurting through the air and
the sound of its impact against the tar
get Though the invention thus far has
been applied only to rifles, there seems
no reasons why it should not be perfected
and enlarged so as to apply equally as
we'll to cannon. AS the first models OF
the invention have worked so successful
ly 1t is believed that when the invention
is perfected that the noise of the dis
charge of firearms win be practically
eliminated.
Marks Second Step
This will mark the second step in the
endeavor of science 10 render the pres
ence and movements of an army invisi-
BILE and noiseless, the first great step be-
ing the invention of smokeless powder.
In this respect the present invention Is
the counterpart of the first. Further
progress in this particular was made be-
fore the invention of the silencer in the
use of khaki uniforms, which has been
proved to be the least conspicuous of the
colors that can be used for this purpose.
AS the strength and position of an
enemy in warfare is determined largely
by the firing of rifles and cannon, one
may easily see how much more myster-
.ious the movements of an opposing force
can be rendered by eliminating these
noises.
