ANT VILLA.

Pleasant Villa was the scene of
much merriment on Friday night last,
when the Pleasantville B. B. G. partook
Of sumptuous feast given by their gem
ial manager, Mr. Woolbert, just to show
them how he appreciated the defeat Of
Bridgeton in three consecutive games.
Mrs. D. R. lake is far famed for her
expertness in the culinary art, and to
say that justice was accorded the good
things spread, is making mild asser-
tion. Base ball teams are famous for
their gastronomic feats, and Pleasant
vile is no exception in this line
Fourteen persons, including the UNI
pire and the official scorer, partook of
the hospitality Of the popular manager,
and strange coincidence that it may
seem, dame rumor has it that fourteen
chickens were sacrificed for chicken sal
ad. The affair was decided success
and the boys departed, declaring Mrs.
Lake and Manager Woolbert two Of the
best people in Pleasantville.

Brewery Is Accused
Of Law Violation

Contending that the Arlington
Brewing Company, of Rosslyn. Va.
was violating the State laws in dis
posing OF its product in Alexandria,
Commonwealth Attorney Brent brought
action against it before Justice Cation
this morning.
This action is of a technical nature,
and is based upon the fact that the
brewing company is located in a no
license territory. in which case the
law states that no sale or delivery
shall be made at the brewery, and
that other delivery shall be made
only through a common carrier. 1t
was shown that the company has
been in the habit OF making deliveries
in the city of Alexandria by means
of its own wagons. which fact Mr..
Brent construes as violation of the
law as above stated.
The question resting entirely upon
the construction of the law, Justice
Cation stated that he would not an
nOunce his decision until after a care
full perusal of the statutes.

the whereabouts of Castro, the fermer
Venezuelan dictator. Since the 1e-
spatches of last week, when the Amer

the department has received no news

ments. They expect the legation Of
ficials to notify them as soon as
definite Information regarding Castro
is available, and in the absence of
such cablegrams department officials
believe that nothing is known Of him
at the Venezuelan capital.

OF the immigration laws, witnesses ap-
peared again before the House Commit

The Rev. Sidney H. Bass. who re-
Gently came over from England and is
now pastor of the First NJ. E. Church
at Harrison Valley, Pa, told of his ex-
perience while detained at Ellis Island.
The quarters were crowded and un-
comfortable, he said the immigrants were
furnished with nothing but mats upon
which to sleep. and the air was foul.
I'm order to get fresh air." said the
Rev. Mr.. Bass, Il lay out fiat upon
the floor and put my nose over an
air hole in the center of the room.
Other immigrants did the same, taxi
ing turns at the air shaft.
II saw one girl who had been kept
six days, and saw another woman
who had been detained a month. and
yet the immigration officials tell us
that the immigrants are humanely
treated and are kept only for short
time. One room had six hundred men
in 1t. and they were packed SO close
that they touched one another"
Aor OF
senting the Jewish organizations of
the State of New York, denied that
politics had prompted Representative
Suffers demand for an investigation.
He cited cases to show that the rul-
ings of the inspectors are "arbitrary"
and that immigrants are sometimes
refused admission because they hap
pen to be en- route to "a congested
locality"
Mcdonald Dewitt. another New
York attorney cited instances of
alleged discrimination, declaring that
the authorities made arbitrary rulings
against those whom they construed
as likely to become a public charge"

ground that the Pensacola navy yard

close it. That is only the difference be-
tween Tweedledee and Tweedledum"
He introduced a resolution which re-
mained on the table. asking Secretary
Meyer whether the yard is to be closed,
1t work cannot be performed as cheap

planned by Fletcher that more than

Pensacola navy yard, and that 1t is one
Of the best in the country.
