Greek colony of San Francisco gath
cred in common celebration last night,
the occasion being the eighty ighth

pendence.
The meeting was held in Lyric. hall

peated outbursts of applause greeted
the names of the old Grecian heroes

anthem sent the packed hall to its
feet with ringing cheers.

consul, and Milton Francis Clark, first

spoke on the history of the independ-

established themselves as a nation. He
declared that the love of the true
Greek for his native land should in
tensify his loyalty and affection for
his adopted country. and, concluding

greater even than that accorded the
mention of the Greek heroes.
Alexander Payelas, the second speak
er, compared the glory of ancient
Greek 10 that of the United States,
saying that the newer country was in
a position to endure the longer and
be the more powerful because ii could

says:
VA great tradition has ended with

place In the poets corner" but there
is no doubt that such action would
meet universal approval.

ISSUES
LURID PROTEST
Walls Against Frances Stand
When FercibIy Carried
Aboard Steamer
Means DismalIy While Litter Is
Being Hoisted on The
Versailles

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
April 11.-Prior to being taken forcibly
aboard the steamer Versailles for de-
portation to france, former President
Castro prepared protest against the
action of the French government 1t
follows:
l hereby protest against the action Of the
French authorities OF Martinique in having me
put by force board an outgoing vessel
blrsf because | was i'll at the time and be
cause the act imperiled my life; second. because
have committed no ofeHse against the govern
ment OF France and the authorities of Mar
Unique; and finally, because the decree OF ex.
puision which orders my deportation out OF
frencn territory compels me to take passage
aboard vessel which will again land me on
French territory.
The case constitutes breach of international
law and denial of the rights OF individuals.
That such a thing should have come TO pass
end from which came the inspiration and presage
of liberty, and at the hands of a people who
shed their blood by torrents hardly century
ago 10 maintain uHimpaired the rights AID
prerogatives of men, is inconceivable.
Castro said that if he was at liberty
when he arrived at st. Nazaire he
would Immediately proceed to Spain
in order to take passage. for Santa
Cruz, Teneriffe
The Versailles will stop at Basno
Torra and Pointe a Pitre, Guadeloupe.
Hardly had the steamer left port when
party of Castros friends arrived on
the steamer Goellette from ST. Lucia.
They were very much surprised that
he had been expelled.
The removal of Castro to the steamer
was not without it's pitifuI aspect. The
entrance to the French line piers was
guarded by police and no one was per-
mitted to enter except those directly
concerned.
Difficulty was experienced in hoisting
the litter aboard, and for a moment
Castro was in peril of falling out He
was moaning dismally while being
moved. The stretcher was set down
in one of the cabins, and Castro at
once declared that the room was too
small and demanded that he be trans
ferred< to another cabin. He was prom
ised that a change would be made.

ASSISTANCE AND PROTECTION
OBJECT OF INVENTORS ASSO-
CITATION JUST FORMED.
Preliminary Action at Meeting Last
Evening at Eagles Hall.
Aims Explained.

The Inventors Protective Association,
designed to assist and protect American
inventors, was launched last night at a
meeting of inventors at Eagles Hall. 1t
is proposed to extend to members assist
ance in procuring patents, to promote
sales of such and to protect them against
frauds, arrangements and unnecessary
litigation.
William P Armstrong. who is said to
have taken the initiative in forming the
organization. was present at the meet
ing. and explained it's purposes. He
acted as chairman, with Mr.. Rule as
temporary secretary. In his address Mr..
Armstrong described the inventor as
The advance guard and pathfinder of
progress, and declared:
We owe everything we have today
that is an Improvement upon old ways
and means to the Inventors mind. and it
should be the easiest of all things for
a man who has produced some real in
ventiOn to have such an invention, to use
a commercial phrase. put upon the mar
ket. And yet only one out of every five
good inventions comes before the public;
only one out of every five inventors is
compensated for his labor.
Become Easy Marks.
This Is simply because usually the
man has no knowledge of the methods
employed in procuring patents. and is an
easy mark for any patent attorney who
is OF defranding turn of mind, or be-
cause he has not sufficient funds to meet
what, think, are exorbitant charges on
the part of the Patent Office, considering
the great good the invention does the
country and civilization in general.
Again, the corporations, as rule. are
ruthless, and know of many cases where
companies, especially manufacturing ones,
have made large sums of money from
inventions stolen from their employees.
Wealthy corporations, by their wealth
and influence, make it impossible for the
inventor to sell the product of his mind,
regardless of it's worth. To overcome
these evils is the object of the organiza-
ton formed here tonight. We purpose to
give inventors direct and reliable infor-
nation with regard to patents, to assist
the inventor financially and otherwise in
procuring patents and to protect him
against infringements, fraud and persecu-
ton When the inventors of this country
and abroad list their names with us. as
they will do, the commercial and scien-
tifc world will come to the inventor in
stead of the inventor humbling himself
before the moneyed magnate."
Another meeting of the organization is
scheduled for Thursday evening, August
10. when articles of Incorporation will be
drawn up and permanent organization
formed.
