Busy Times in Sight Upon Reassem-
 bling in January.

Washington, Dec. 23.-An era of in vestigation possibly unprecedented in the history of the house will be ush- cred in when congress reassembles in January. Members of the house will divide their attention among seven dis tinct investigations scheduled to be- gin after the holidays. They are in- quiries into the so-called money trust; hearings before the ways and means committee preliminary to tar iff revision by the next congress- the probe into the New Haven Grand Trunk railroad the judiciary commit tees hearings on general trust legisla- ton: the inquiry into the ramifications of the so-called foreign and domestic shipping trust by the merchant mar inc committee: the Glass ub-commit- tees investigation incident to the framing of a currency bill and the in- quisition into the affairs of the office of superintendent of insurance in the District of Columbia, with testimony to be taken not only in Washington but also probably New York.
 The insurance inquiry will begin De- cember 2s with the District of Co., lumbia commissioners on the witness stand. The committees will endeavor to complete their work before the end of the session. These investigations will cost $100,000.

Ex.PREsiDENT CASTRO
 IS NOT WANTED HERE. Yet Government Officials Doubt Their Ability to Keep Him Out.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The coming to America under the name of Ruiz of Cipriano Castro, one-tirne president and practicvally dictator of Venezuela was today notified to the state depart ment from the American embassy in Paris. The Venezuelan exile is aboard La Tcuraine, which is due in New York next Saturday and the state de- partment is confronted with the dis agreeable question of what to do with him.
 Castro has been kept under surveil- lance as much as possible for the last three years, though now and then he has disappeared from the sight and knowledge of the state department. When it was reported that he had en- parked from France for America last Saturday. at Havre, the officials were incredulous, and it was only late today that official confirmation was receiv- ed of his sailing.
 It Is tacftly admitted that if Castro is to be kept out of the United States it must be done under the color of the public health laws and regulations, for there is no legal charge against him that would warrant such action. There the decision of the question as to his admission probably will be left to the department of commerce and labor, which is charged with the con- duct of immigration.
 Officials of that department today said Castro would be subjected to rigid examination immediately upon landing to determine his admissibility to the country, but no official was pre- pared today to say whether the gov ernment as a matter of policy would go to extremes to keep the Venezuelan out.
 Officials here would not hazard a guess as to the purpose of Castro's visit.

POSSIBLE CIVIL SUIT
 AGAINST NEW HAVEN R. R. Effort May Be Made to Prevent Carry

Washington, Dec. 23.-Attorney Gen eral Wickersham will follow up the indictments of officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Grand Trunk railroads with immediate consideration of the question whether civil suit should be instituted to re- strain the two roads from pursuing their alleged combination in violation of the Sherman antitrust law. The question hangs in the balance and the attorney general today indicated that he would give it careful study after reviewing the evidence submitted to the grand jury at New York and after conferences with Jesse c. Adkins, as- sistant attorney general, who has charge of the case.
 Mir. Wickersham said the indictment represented the unrestrained judgment of the grand jury.
 The books of the companies, thrown open to the government for examina- tion, did not give evidence of violation of the sherman law. the attorney gen. eral indicated. and it was with some doubt as to the result that the grand jury inquiry was undertaken. The in- dtctments were due largely to the oral testimony of the numerous witnesses which, the attorney general said, had developed more than he had antici- l pated.

LAWYER APPEALS TO
 JURORS SYMPATHIEs.
Makes Reference to Small Child of
 Alleged Dynamiter.

Indianapolis, Dec. 23.-Four year old Georgte Bernhardt, who was playing in the lobby of the federal building with a toy engine, was made a subject of comment in the argument for the defense before the jury at the "dyna- mite conspiracy trial today.
 The boy is the son of William c. Bernhardt, Cincinnati, one of the forty defendants accused cd aiding the Me- Namaras to blow up non- union jobs. The wives of about thirty defendants, with almost as many children, have been sitting through the trial for all most three months. and while his par ents were listening to the denial of the charges of dynamiting, the boy was ronping through the lobby with an early supply of Christmas presents.
 If after this long trial you must convict somebody" said Attorney VII liam N. Harding. don't convict Will liam Bernlardt, for he Is an industri- ous iron worker and has wife to support. He has worked hard all his life and has raised a family. Blowing non- union jobs at night or resorting to violence in a strike is not characteris- tic of man who raises family. But I say, if you must convict somebody by the name of Bernhardt, convict his lit tie boy. Send the little boy to the pen itentiary. He might stand 1t, but Bernhardt with a wife. could not"
 Speaking for all the defendants, Mir Harding referred to letters taken from the iron workers international head quarters in Indianapolis. upon which the government charges a dynamite conspiracy, was directed through the mail. MT. Harding said the letters remained in the headquarters for six months after John J. McNamara, the secretary, had been locked up at Los Angeles, and none of the writer's of the letters ever went to Indianapolis tc recover them.
 Why, after McNamara was arrest ed, charged with dynamfting, didn't these men rush to Indianapolis to re- cover their letters?'' asked the attor- ney. 'The natural move of gull ty man would be to destroy evidence of his guilt. But these men did no attempt to regain the letters, whicf remained In McNamara's office unmo. tested until the government took pos session of them"
 MT. Harding also said the govern ment for three months had tele- phone instrument hidden under Presi dent Frank M. Ryan's desk at the un ion office, and had not produced an, information secured through the SC cret telephone.
 Senator John W. Kearn said h. would speak tomorrow in defense O Herbert S. Hocldn and of Eugene A Clancy and Olaf A. Tveitmoe of Sal Francisco. When Senator Kern con cludes the government is to begin al argument to continue for two and one half days.
