WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The Uni
ed States Government continues to
search the career of Cipriano Castro,
who landed at Ellis Island, New York,
today, for evidence which will bar
him from the country. Today the
state department was advised by tele-
gram that the former president is un-
der Indictment in Venezuela charged
with connection with the murder of
General Parades. This is the second
Indictment hanging over Castro, the
state department having previously
been advised that he was charged
with participation in the attempted
assassination in Venezuela of Presi-
dent Gomez, Castro's successor.
This information has been turned
over by the State department to
Secretary Nagel. of the department
of commerce and labor, who will per-
sonally decide the admissability of
Castro. The indictments against
Castro, it is declared by officials, will
hardly be sufficient to justify his ex
pusion, as the immigration laws
provide that an alien must have been
convicted of a crime, involving moral
turpitude, if he is to be deported on
that ground.

GUY STIRS COURTS IRE IN
PSYCHOLOGICAL MIX-UP
Proves to Be Mr.. Guy and
Couldn't Lift.

"That's the guy. No. not that guy,
the other guy. That's Mr.. Guy ex-
planned Bennett Parker. of 81 Pen
nington street, to Acting Judge
Rooney, in the Third Precinct Court
today. Parker, it was alleged by Mrs.
Rose Howard, neighbor, had agreed
to sell some furniture for her. He
sold some of it, but did not pay her
the money, she said.
II paid it to Guy" Parked told the
Judge.
"what guy? Pardon the slang, 1
mean who's the guy" interrogated
the court.
A litter passed around the court
room and one fellow had TO be sur
pressed when he hummed I'm the
guy"
II was here that Parker made clear
the identity of Guy.
Guy himself stepped forward and
told the judge that he was the guy"
Judge Rooney deduced from the
testimony of four or five witnesses
that Guy had gone to Parker to de-
n1and the money because Parker was
a big fellow and Mrs. Howard was
afraid. \ receipt showed that Par
ker had paid s25 to Guy. The compli-
Gated state of affairs was straight
ened out when Parker was ordered to
send back the furniture and any
money he received for sales.

The petition contained more than

would remark to Judge Chester H..
Crum, of ST. Louis, spokesman for
the defense counsel:
Judge, you'll have to get better
objection than that"
THAT is for a higher court to say"
replied Mr.. Krum.
But that is my judgment re-

The prisoners left the county jail

train the signal for departure was
given. There was no cheering as the
train pulled out.

NEWARK FIRES IN
1872 COST 2OLNES
Eleven of the Dead We're Chill
dren and Six We're
Women.
FIRE CHIEF MOORE SAYS
LOSS WAS LARGER IN 1911
Firenoen Worked Total of 1878
Hours at BIazes Dur
ing Year.

OF the twenty people killed IN fires
In this city during the past veal
eleven were children.
Five bonf1res caused as many OF th'
deaths. according to statistics com
niled by the bureau of combustible:
and fire risks. Another feature of the
report is that six women lost then
lives in fires while performing then
household duties. The other three
deaths were in factory fires.
Much that is interesting is con-
tanned in the report of Superintendent
of Combustibles c. Albert Gasser
The efficiency of the fire department
is demonstrated in the report of Fire
Chief Paul ]. Moore, which shows the
damage to buildings during the year
was $151, ,642.S1 less than in 1911, al
though there were 2S2 more alarms.
Firemen's Herculean Task.
The record of the number of hours
the fremen worked shows the
herculean task performed by the fire
fighters in keeping down the loss. The
members of truck and engine COM
panies worked a total of 1878 hours
and 1S minutes, which, if expended IN
continuous labor. means that the
forces would have battled with flames
53 DAYS . hours and 26 minutes
II, the. hose used by the engine COM
panies at fires during the year were
stretched out end to end the line
would reach from here to Cleveland,
81; for the lengths stretched measured
almost 900 miles. If the ladders used
by the truck companies were placed
one on top of the other they would
reach the highest flying aeroplane or
balloon. for the extension would be
three miles.
Exclusive of false alarms, which
were 105. the total number of alarms
responded to were 1,477. OF that num-
her three were four-alarm fires, five
were three and eighteen were two
alarm blazes. There were 349 still
alarms.
February Alarms Greatest.
The greatest property loss for any
month was IN January last winch 1iiS
damage was estimated at $2S9,oOO.
The Mullins & Sons and Cowper-
thwait G. Van Horn fires were largely
responsible for this figure. February
leads in number of alarms, 1872 having
been turned in, but the loss was but
>$6S, 600.
N.The total damage suffered in other
months of the year were as follows;
March, $27 $50; April, s14,S5O; May,
se,525: June. s6S,750; July, $4,000; Au-
gust, $13,5 800: September. $6I 1000; Oc-
tober, S23,S5O; November, $4,000, and
December, $61 900.
Captain Gasser expresses gratifica-
ton at the excellent result from the
steps taken to prevent fires in NOV
ing picure houses, garages, depart
ment and small stores. The first year
under the garage regulations mas
passed without fire of any conse-
auence. There were no fatalities in
moving picture places and but one
fire, which did slight damage.

WEATHER IN 1912
SIMPLY NORMAL
Expert Says Tomorrow Will
Resemble January | of
This Year.
FEBRUARY REMARKABLE
FOR ITS SUNSHINY DAYS
Report Brings Recollection of
Midsummer's Great
Heat Wave.

The year ending today, according
to the records and annual averages
of Professor William Wiener, head of
the local weather bureau, was 4 nor
NAL year in weather conditions. Incl
dentally. the indications are that the
weather tomorrow will be similar to
that experienced on New Years Day,
1912, which was cloudy and dull.
The present year opened with the
coolest January in Newark in twenty
seven years, the mean Temperature
being 22.S degrees. In this month
also occurred the coolest day of the
year, January 13, when the tempera-
ture for the day averaged one degree
above zero. On the following day the
lowest mark of the year, six degrees
below zero was reached.
February's Sunshine.
February was chiefly notable for its
proportion of sunshine, which. was
above normal. March was particu-
larly stormy, there being thirteen
days on which it either showed or
rained. A storm of two days dura-
ton, causing floods in various parts of
the-city, occurred March 12and 13. On
the evening of March 20 an unusual
display of northern lights" was seen
in the heavens. Such a display is un-
usual in this locality. Much fog pre-
vailed during April, the rainfall for
which was one inche below normal
May and June were typical, although
the latter was unusually dry.
The 1912 Heat Wave.
In July came the well-remembered
heat wave, which caused much suf-
fering and death. July was the
hottest day of the year.
August fell behind the average in
rainfall, and September in its per
cent. of sunshine. An unusually clear
October was followed by some stormy
weather in November. On November
"a a hail storm, accompanied by
twenty five-mile northeaster, followed
very dark and rainy morning. Some
of the hailstones were as large as
hazelnuts.
The present month has had few
stormy days. Notable exceptions
have been December "a, when the
greatest daily snowfall recorded
since the blizzard of 'SS occurred, and
yesterday, when one and three-quar-
ter inches of rain fell. This is more
than fell during the entire month of
December, and was the last of the
notable storms of the year.

PARCEL POST IN
EFFECT TOMORROW
Newark Public to Experience
Its Benefits for First
Time.
tcontinued from FIRST PaEeo

mail He intimated that it would be
practically an experiment at first,
and the regular equipment would
have to be decided upon later.
The extra mail clerks and carriers
hired during the Christmas rush will
not be held over to handle the parcel
post business, according to the post
master. The majority of these men
have been let go, as the rush is about
over.
Maps have been prepared which
show the United States divided into
eight zones. One of the maps, with
a table showing the cost of mailing
parcels to the various zones, was re-
printed in the Evening Star on De-
cember 20. No parcel weighing more
than eleven pounds may be mailed
under this class, and the eggs, butt
ter and other perishable goods must
be carefully wrapped.
How Rates Are Based.
A package weighing four ounces or
less may be mailed at the regular
rate of one cent an ounce to aHy
point within the governments postal
jurisdiction.
Heavier packages require more
postage. For instance, a one-pound
package destined for the local or
first zone, costs five cents. If it is
to be sent to second zone, from so
to 100 miles, the charge is six cents
a pound, and so on until the eighth
and last zore, where the rate is
twelve cents.
One of the features of the parcel
post which will bear close attention
is the measure limit of parcels. No
parcel more than seventy-two inches
in combined length and girth may be
sent under this class. This means
that after the length of the package
is measured, the short end, or width,
must be added to the length, and
both combined must not exceed sew
enty-two inches.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-31
Stlmulants Barred.

After the weight limit, eleven
pounds, and the size have been con-
sidered, only commonsense regula-
tions remain. The government does
not intend that the mail shall be
abused through the parcel post
Whiskey and such stimulants are
barred. So are firearms, explosives,
Internal machines and the like.
Packages for local delivery will not
be held up for lack of full postage
but outside of the local zone they will
not be delivered. This is one of the
reasons why the department is is
suing special parcel post tags, on
which the name of the sender should
be placed so that the package may
be returned.
Remember that the postman's gray
uniform is not spike-proof and all
sharp pointed articles must be care
fully wrapped. Consideration for
others who are using the pails should
be used in wrapping Bitter, eggs
and live queen beees. 1t stands to
reason that the package containing
the bees will be rejected by Uncle
Sam unless the bees are safely con-
fined. If in doubt inquire before
mailing.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-31


While the parcel post is boon to
millions throughout the country it
has not yet developed into its full
usefulness. Through it the govern
ment provides the consumer with an
avenue of escape from the high ex-
press rates Countless incidents are
shown proving the government
scheme is reducer of the high cost
of living.
The parcel post was inaugurated
after careful search and years of in
vestigation by the government s
foremost postal Authorities. 1t re-
mains to be seen how the plan works
out. According to the demands, i'm
provements in the parcel post reguu-
lations will be made from time to
time.
During next week Congressman
Walter I. Mccoy and several mem
bers of the congressional committee
on ways and means will visit the
Newark postoffice. This is believed
to be an important step in the long
fight waged by the Newark Board of
Trade, represented by the most in
f1uential men of the city, for a new
and larger postoffice for the city.

The object in publishing the above
figures is to afford each property owner
reliable proof as to the very small
amount each one will have to pay to-
ward the cost of paving intersections.
1t means that the person owning a

be obliged to pay only eighty-four cents
each year, for period of ten years, and
after that time, the assessments will
slightly increase i'll order that the prin-
