GOVERNMENT MAY BAR
CASTRO AS "UNHEALTHY'
Ruse Possible to Solve Puzzle of How
to Forbid Landing of
Venezuelan

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The COM
ing to America under the name of
Ruiz, of Cipriano Castro, one time die
tator of Venezuela, has been announc-
ed to the State Department by, the
American embassy at Paris. The We
%nezuelan exile Is aboard the La Tour
aline, due in New York next Saturday
and the State Department is confront
ed with the d~isagreeable question of
what to do with him.
Castro has been kept under surveil-
ance 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. the
officials were incredulous. and it was
only late yesterday that official con-
flrmation was received of his sailing,
1t is tactily admitted that if Castro
is to be kept out of the United States,
il must be done under color of the pub
lie health laws and regulations, for
there is no legal charge against him
that would warrant such action. There
fore 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 have
said Castro would be subjected to a
rigid examination upon landing, to de-
termine his admissibility, but no ofic-
ial was prepared to say whether the
Government would go to extremes to
keep out the Venezuelan.

P. R. R. MEN NOT
LEAVE THE B. & D.


A semEOficial declaration that the
four members Of the Baltimore and
Ohio directorate who represent there
in the stock holding OF the Pennsyl-
yania in the first mentioned orpor
alton will not retire thereform be-
cause OF the recent decision Of the SUI
preme Court of the United States In
the Union Pacinc-Southern Pacific
case was received here yesterday and
excited much comment in railroad cir
cles. The directors in question are
Samuel Rea, president-designate Of
retired vice president of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad; Joseph Wood, first
vice president of the lines west, and
l.. f. Loree, president of the Delaware
and Hudson, former president OF the
Baltimore and Ohio and one time gen
eral manager of the Pennsylvania
lines west, and whose relations are
close, also, with the Hartman inter
ests, which are represented in the
Baltimore and Ohio directorate by
Judge r. S. Lovett, chairman of the
boards Of the several systems com.
prising the Hartman lines.
In support of the attitude assum-
ed by them in the premises. the four
directors in question assert that while
the Pennsylvania admittedly controls
a very considerable block of Balti-
more and Ohio stock, such holding
does not constitute a majority, nor
even an approximate majority, of that
company's outstanding shares and
hence it cannot dictate the policy of
the Baltimore and Ohio, nor control
its course in any particular. In fact,
the statement is made that much of
tie stock in question, which is popu-
of the Pennsylvania, is not there, al
though held by interests friendly to
that company and that such holdings
do not aggregate more than 30 per
cent. of the total issue.
The Pennsylvania acquired it's hold
ings of Baltimore and Ohio stock
shortly after the reorganization of the
last-mentioned company in 1896 and
the only circumstance that could be
construed as in the nature of undue
influence was the election of l.. +.
Loree. at the time a vice president of
the Pennsylvania lines west, as presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio in sue
cession TO the late John X. Cowan.
President Loree's tenure of Office was
short-liyed, however. and he was sue
ceeded by Oscar q. Murray. now chair
of the board, who. in turn, was
succeeded as president by Daniel Will
lard less than three years ago.
The experts in railroad juris-
prudence contend that the only pro-
cedure whereby the Pennsylvania rep
r~esentatives in the Baltimore and
Ohio directorate can be ousted is one
similar to hat in the ease of the I'm
ion Pacific-Southern Pacific and, fur
Their, that there are no grounds, nor
yet occasion for such action, since the
two systems have established and
maintain keen competition at all
times.
