steerage of a steamer. Ernest COtrcIl,
secretary Of the Manufacturers and
Traders Association. made the trip from
Liverpool to New York TN the Storage
OF the LUsitania. After the ships officer

below decks 10 get at real conditions
they gave him the run Of the steamer
and when the vessel dOcked. Mr.. COtreli
was found in the first cabin.
My principal object" said Mr.. COtrell,
was to learn what possibilities there
were for immortality in the streerage and
what opportunities were offered white
slave agents.
II think there should be four classes

BARRIERS ARE UP
AGAINST CASTRO
Former Venezuelan Will Not Be
Allowed to Land in
New York.
REASONS PHYSICAL ONES

The question what shall be done
with Castro" the former Venezuelan
dictator. reported TO be on La Tour
aine, bound for the United States, will
be very easily decided. according TO
statements made here last night.
The most simple solution OF the
problem which the arrival of Castro
at the port of New York will bring be-
fore the United States win be, 1t is
stated, to debar him from landing
This can be done without reference TO
his political status. merely by invoking
the immigration laws of the United
states. Castro. according to informa-
ton in the possession of the State
Department, is suffering from an ex-
tremely- virulent contagious disease,
contracted as a result of his dissipa-
tons when in power in Venezuela.
The ravages of the disease have been
so severe. 1t is understood, that Cas-
tro is reduced TO the state OF an invalid.
and requires constant personal attend
ance. Consequently, II is believed that
his arrived would present such a ia
grant case TO the immigration officials
at New York that they would be
obliged to deny him the privilege of
even if they knew nothing of
ms iNpuldlAOh dS Oil dplG III
the Western Hemisphere.
1t is stated that were not Castro's con-
dition what it is, there would be no great
objection upon the part of the State De-
partment to his landing. II he were al
lowed to land. however, he would unques-
tionably be kept under surveillance. Ever
since Castro fed from Venezuela, the
State Department has made It a point al
ways to be informed OF his movements
NO effort has been made to restrict his
goings and comings, but any attempt
upon CastrOs part to enter Venezuela
would be met with vigorous and undoubt-
eddy successful opposition from the gov
of the United States.
1t is the understanding here that Cas-
trO'S physical condition is such as TO
make him much less of a menace 10 the
peace Of the Caribbean than was the case
A few years ago. Despite his illness. !
however. he will not be allowed to enter
Venezuela or any adjoining country. if |
the United States authorities are able to |
prevent.

 Most everybody who has attended weddings in this part of town has heard of it." said the officiating curate. "It is the custom here to throw wood en shoes because at some time in her life nearly every bride has worn pair. For the present generation they were not her Sunday shoes, nor her evening dress shoes, nor even her ev- eryday street shoes, but around the house and maybe to the nearby shops in rainy weather she has clattered around often enough in wooden shoes to justify having a pair thrown at her for old times sake. .'-Boston Herald.
