CASTRO FAMILY DEPORTED.
Venzuela Takes Action Against the
Relatives Of Former Ruler.

The entire Castro family apparently has
been ousted from Venezuela. A dispatch
to the State Department from the Ameri-
can legation at Caracas stated that forty
six relatives Of former President Castro
had been expelled from Venezuela and
sailed away today for Porto Rico.
Late in 1908 President Castro left
Venezuela for Europe. When he tried to
return he was not allowed to land in
Venezuela and has been kept out Of that
country ever since. At the time Of the
remuneration OF Castro the government
fell into hands more friendly to the
United States. and difficulties that had
led to the severance Of diplomatic rela-
tons between the two countries were
quickly settled
What was the occasion for the latest
outburst against the Castro family was
not explained in the brief dispatch to
the department.

AUTO MAIL WAGONS.
British Post Office Officials Expert
menting.

Great Britain has solved in a measure
the question of cheap transportation of its
mails. Automobile trucks are being used
In conveying mail matter between London
and Birmingham. especially the heavier
classes Of mail. according to Albert Hal
stead, United States consul at the last
named city. The distance between the
two cities is 113 miles. and the automobile
mail wagons connect with wagons Of
similar type along the route which will
carry mails to smaller towns. In this
manner. says Consul Halstead, a wide
territory Is covered and better service
Is insured.
TT Is believed this service will material
ly improve postal SERVICE" says Hal
stead. 1T will naturally reduce the
amount Of carriage by rail and will prob
ably be more economical"
The report has aroused much interest
in the Post Office Department here be-
cause Of the rapid growth of the rural
free delivery system in the United States

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
LAUDS THE PRESIDENT
Declares Taft Is Among the
Most Sagacious of Coun-
try's Executives.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 20-with
the statement that President Taft was
one Of the ablest and most sagacious of
the executives Of the United States, John
Hays Hammond made q vigorous defense
of the administration today at the annual
outing Of the Cuyahoga- County League
Of Republican Clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr. Taft's sup
port OF the Aldrich-C Cannon section of the
party on the ground that II he had
plunged into q republican civil war his
four years term Of ONCE would have
been barren Of results and not one Of his
campaign pledges could have been carried
out.
Man Of Courage.
Mr. Hammond said, In part:
THE people have come to regard Presi-
dent Taft as a man Of indomitable cour-
age and infiexible determination. In the
early part OF his administration 1t used
to be frequently asserted that President
Taft did not understand the political
game. 1t 10 quite true that he does not
play good politics." according to the
concepts OF pothouse politicians. In that
he does not subordinate questions of ma
tionai Importance to those Of party ex-
grandisement; but recent events must
have impressed II on the minds of all
critics that the President has q master
full grasp Of political affairs and Of polit-
teal methods.
1T has also been asserted by critics OF
the administration that the President
was being unduly influenced and i'm
posed upon by what was alleged to be
the unholy Cannon-Aldrich alliance.
HE has been criticised severely for
having any intercourse with that fac
tion Of the party: but, fortunately, the
President has wisely preferred not to
assume q self-righteous attitude and
not to decline the cooperation OF re-
publicans Of whatever faction, when
such assistance would avail to insure
the enactment OF needed legislation.
Any Other Course Futile.
1T requires admirable moral courage
and far-sighted statesmanship for
President Taft to pursue the course he
did pursue. Any other course would
have resulted in four years Of futile
republican administration"
Mr.. Hammond asserted that all talk
Of a new party was absurd, as such a
movement would die at its birth for
lack Of popular support. He declares
that there was no possibility OF any
man save Mr. Taft receiving the next
republican nomination for President.
and secuted the idea OF the democrats
obtaining control OF Congress. This
view was based on what he termed the
absolute failure Of the democrats to Of
fer the people any definite program.

PURPOSE OF RETAILERS
OUTLINED AT MEETING
Establishing of Credit Bu-
reau One Object of New
Association.

The establishment Of a bureau OF credit
and a collection force, uniform closing
hours. electric lighting rates. the elimina-
tiop Of Objectionable advertising schemes.
are some OF the results which IL is un-
derstood the new association of retail
merchants. which is organizing under the
auspices OF the Chamber OF Commerce.
and ~ a branch OF the chamber. will
seek to effect. A meeting OF the board
OF governors Of tho new association was
held at the Chamber OF Commerce last
night, when IL was decided to 20 ahead
with the former organization Of the re-
tailers.
The report OF the committee appointed
TO consider the question Of form of or
ganization was received by the board and
approved. 1t had previously been APP
proved by the board of directors OF the
Chamber of Commerce. 1t provides that
the new association shall be an auxiliary
Of the Chamber Of Commerce and that
each member Of the association shall be
Q member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Objects Discussed.
Much attention was given last night to
specifying the purposes Of the associa-
ton. 1t was the opinion of the members
Of the board that 1t would be easier to
form the organic rules Of the association
oItcT the ODJcCts tnc dSsOCiotioH
plans to accomplish had been fixed, at
least In part. One of the matters dis
cussed was the question Of discounts to a
class of customers which may belong to
some credit association. This subject
will be thoroughly considered, II Is said.
with a view to eliminating the 10 per
cent discount allowed to certain patrons
Of stores who belong TO these associa-
tons. The merchants feel that they
should have the profit OF the organized
lenders who advance cash and gain large
revenue from the loans. All these ques-
tons will receive most careful attention
The merchants say that by proper or
ganization and the establishment of the
proper machinery much money can be
saved.
Meeting in September.
A meeting OF the merchants who have
already signihed their intention OF join
Ing the association and those who may
wish TO join will be called about the third
week In September. and at that time an
organization. under constitution and by
laws. will probably be formed. The gov
erning board will be called together by
the president. Joseph Strasburger. some
time next week.
A canvass OF the retail merchants OF
Washington will be made during the next
few weeks by the members OF the board
OF governors of the new association and
Thomas Grant secretary of the chamber
with a view TO explaining the benefits
TO be derived from the association IL Ia
expected that many merchants who have
not already joined the organization will
become members.

Original Records Satisfy
Attorney General Bingham

The original records OF the experiments
made by DR.. Harvey W. Wiley and his
assistants with benzoate OF soda as q
food preservative. which were obtained
yesterday from the Department of Agri-
culture, for use as evidence in the food
mauufactu case against the state OF
INDIANA, today proved q source of much
Satisfaction to Attorney General Bing-
ham of Indiana. who Is conducting the
defense. The original records are stated
to be clean. with only few minor mis-
taxes in calculations. SO small as 10 be
negligible. particularly as they average
upe for and against benzoate of soda, ac-
cording to the examination so far.
Expresses Satisfaction.
Attorney General Bingham declares he
is well satisfied with the evidence which
ne is obtaining in Washington in support
Of the defense. although he believes that
he has been put to great deal OF I'M
necessary trouble by the attitude OF the
Department OF Agriculture. He takes this
all the more to heart, IL Is said. because
the department not only permitted and
requested the members of the Remsen
referee board to go to Indiana TO give
their testimony for the manufacturers, but
even paid the expenses of the members
OF the board and their assistants for their
trip 10 Indiana and their stay there. IL
is further alleged that the department
refused TO let DIR. Wiley go to Indiana to
testify for the state.
The original records were used In the
hearing this morning at the New Will
lard Hotel. and members OF the poison
squad the chemists and statisticians
who had hand in making these records
were called upon to identify them and to
explain them.

there are a great many fashionable
wasting materials this season. Shirt
waists of thin materials made in tall
ored style are greatly liked, the ia

are more beautiful than ever, and
such a waist as this one is equally
appropriate for silk and flannel.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. The tucks are laid on indicated
lines, and a neck-band finishes the
neck. The collar is of the high
turned-over sort, attached by means
of buttonholes and studs. The sleeves
are of regulation fulness, but are fin

posed and wrote a part of a concerto
so difficult, his father said, that no
one could play it. At five he played
in public; at six he toured Europe,
petted at every court. At seven he
played the harpsichord, the organ,
the violin, and had published two sets
of sonatas.
At ten he had written an oratorio
and had played at Harlem on the
then largest organ in the world. At
fourteen he heard the Miserere in the
Sistine Chapel at Rome, and going
home transcribed every note Of It.
This feat created a great sensation,
for it was forbidden by severe penal
ties to take down a pote of the music
as it was being sung in the chapel,
and any mortal less a wonder than
Mozart would have been accused OF
breaking the law.
Handel, too, was by way of being a
child prodigy. He taught h1msel1
music on an old harpsichord in the at
tic, for his father wanted him to be a
doctor and would not encourage n
child's evident inclination for another
profession. He was discovered play
ne a great organ one day when his
father and he were at the court OF
SAKE Weissenfels, and the Duke
