CASTRO DECISION
TO Be APPEALED
Department Of Commerce and
Labor to Garry Case to
Highest Courts.
MYLIUS ALSO LET IN
Construction Given to the Law May
Result in Establishing Danger
Gus Precedent.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor will appeal from the decision of
Judge Ward. in New York, releasing
Gen. Cipriani Castro from Ellis Island
and allowing him to enter the United
states after he had been debarred by
Secretary Nagel, and also from the de-
cison of Judge Noyes yesterday in per-
mitting Edward F. Mylius to enter the
country after he had been barred. This
was determined on by the department
officials yesterday.
Officials of the department look upon
the two New York decisions as the two
most important constructions given to
the immigration laws during recent
year. and if they are sustained they say,
additional legislation by Congress VIII
be necessary, or else the bars will be
down and open the ports of this country
to thousands of undesirable aliens, in
Guiding criminals of all classes. The de-
cisions in the Castro case and that in
the Mylius has aroused the immigration
officials In an unprecedented way, and
they will be fought to the supreme Court
of the United States.
Castro Refused to Answer.
In the Castro case, Secretary Nagel
debarred Castro because he flatly and
bluntly refused to answer questions put
to him. Secretary Nagel. therefore. never
had an opportunity to pass upon the
merits of his case, and in his decision
debarring Castro he stated that If an
alien was permitted to refuse to answer
pertinent questions the immigration serv-
ice might just as well adjourn"
In the case of Mylius Secretary Narel
dcbarred him because he had been con-
Nicted in his own country-England--o
criminal libel. In England criminal libel
is considered as a crime involving moral
turpitude. and the immigration laws of
the United States specifically bar aliens
who have been convicted of CriTI" in
their own country involving moral tuTpi-
tude
Officials of the department are await
ing with interest the receipt Of the text
of Judge Moves decision reversing the
immigration service. They say whether
Castro and Mylius shall enter the cOun-
try is a matter of small concern. the
construction given the law in their cases
being the Question Of vital Importance.
MyIius Is Admitted.
New York. Feb. 19.-Edward F. Mylius

MOST HATED MAN"
HAS MET HIS FATE

When Gustave Madcro. brother of the
deposed and imprisoned Francisco, was
shot dead in the arsenal at Mexico City
at "A moment when he turned his back
to his guard to-day. the most hated
man in Mexico met the fate which long
had been predicted for him.
Gustavo MaderO was universally re-
garded as the arch CRATER of Mexico.
He possessed "a large share of the for
tune of the Madero family. estimated at
S15.0o0.0OO, but his portion of this estate
was said to be only n 1.-THE of what he
stole from the country's treasury. He
was undeniably the directing power of
the Madero- administration. but even to
his brother. Francisco. the poet and
idealist. he was accused of being a false
counselor. Gustavo's name had often
been mentioned in connection with
greater crimes than misdirecting the
finances of his country to his own bene-
fl; and he had often been threatened with
death.
Popular Figure Here.
Madero was popular figure in New
York and Washington while Francisco
was getting his revolution under way
in the state of Chihuahua two years ago
His good looks, fine education, and law
ish entertainments won him popularity
in the society OF both cities. But while
in New York he was suspected of play
ing II double game Here for the pur-
pose of financing bis>brother's revolution,
he was said to have taken full advantage
OF the opportunity to line his own pock-
cts in return for his promises of future
gain to certain Broadway promoters.
Medero left New York i'm March, 1911,
going with his family to San Antonio to
take charge OF the rebel junta there
Later he joined Francisco in the field.
and when the latter triumphed over Por-
firio Diaz. Gustavo moved to the capital
with him and began his high-handed play
with Mexico's finances.

who at that time was popular hero
as result of his part In the Madero
revolution, but who incurred the dis
pleasure of Gustavo by differing with
some of Francisco's policies.
This act marked the beginning Of the
opposition to the Madero administrator.

'If there had not been a single train
wreck ON the Pennsylvania railroad

ing trains-would have been killed
THE fact is that 837,121 trains were
run an aggregate distance of forty mil
lion miles, carrying, all told, one hun
dred million people and two trains
suffered wrecks causing loss of life.
"Out of the 81, 433 men employed in
train service on the road east of

this number only seventeen were
killed in accidents to trains, freight
and passenger. There were $4,000
men employed in shops and on the
tracks in 1912; of this number 166
were killed as a result of accidents,
none of which was train wreck.
