WHAT BAKER
 DIDN'T KNOW Astounding Ignorance of Detail Admitted" By
 Morgan's Man


 Washington. Jan. 1O-Further state ments bearing on the Expenditures of Wall street baronS were brought out in the money trust investigation, by George F. Baker, successor in the street to J. Pierpont Morgan, and rated as the biggest active power in finance today.
 Baker couldn't remember in how many banks he held stocks, how many railroad directorshfps he held or if he was a t'voting trustee in a number of giant enterprises. He professed ignorance of details of tn organization of such titanic financial deals as the so-called anthracite coal trust'' and various railroad ama1gamations.
 The banker read off names of dozens of corporations in which he is a direc- tor or stockhoIder. He refused, how ever, to disclose the stock pooling and syndicate operations of financial insti- tutions he heads.
 Purely personal, private transac- tions,' was how he characterized these.
 Baker took issue with the theory of an assertion of J. Pferpont Morgan by saying collateral is the principal basis for large loanss in preference to char acter.

 The name of the medical expert anC the place where he will meet Rocke- feller were kept secrt by Pujo. today It was learned, however, that the phv- sician, who was said to be an eminent throat specialist who has frequently had White House patients, will meet Rockefeller at Miami

CASTRO BEFORE JUDGE HOLT IN
 HABEAS CORPUS

New Tor, Jan. 1O-General Cipriano Castro, former President of Venezuela, and who is still such an annoying figure in the eyes of the State Depart ment at Washington, used another branch of the Federal government to- day to assert his right to admission to the United States.
 Wearing the ribbon of the order of Bolivar and holding every quarter inch of his five feet three proudly erect, the little South American pep per box sat rigidly in his chair before Judge Holt in the United States dis trict court today while his attorney, James Gordan Battle, and United States District Attorney Wise went to the legal mat.
 The outcome of the days hearing was Judge HoIt's decision to keep the writ of habeas corpus, on which Cas- tro was brought before him, standing until the special board of inquiry at Ellis Island has completed it's exami- nation into Castro's fitness for admis- sion
 Judge Holt was appealed to by Bat tie to grant bail to Castro pending the result of the 5nqury on the island, and despite Wise's heated argument

POLITICS ENTERS
 POOL ROOM CASE
 GREENWICH TODAY

Greenwich, Jan. 1o.-The trial of John Mcdonald, a poo1room proprie- tor, for the breaking of the poolroom laws which occupied the attention of the town court all day yesterday; was brought to a close, today, when he was acquitted of seven of the ten counts against him and the renain- ing three dismissed
 The trial drew the largest crowd in the history of local court trials and it was alleged that politics in a fight over the court judgeship was in back of it all.
 During the course of the trial. when Prosecuting Attorney Henry B. White told counsel for the defense that if he knew of violations of the liquor law he knew where to take his com p1aints, Counsel Tferney said that there was no liquor prosecutor. The law, he said, declared the office va cant when the holder violated tho liquor laws and that White was the agent and member of the shore re- sort corporation that, as he alleged, violated the laws all last summer and had thereby vacated his office.
 The case against another Poolroon keeper was, dismissed and two who pleaded guilty had their fines sus- pended.

 Fairfield. Jan. 10.-Rev. William F. toned at St Thomas church, Fair field. has been assigned to the assist ant pastorate of St. Peters church, Hartford. He expects to leave Far
 Father 7Odg1I has many friends tn this city an we'll as throughout the Bridge port as well as thronghout the forthcoming departure is Softened at the realization that the assignment means a promotion of the energet1c young priest.
 Fairfield parish during the pastorate of Father Coleman, and on Father CoIeman's departure he became the acting pastor, until in July 1911, Father Patrick Duggan, then in Tor rington, was assigned to the pastorate.
 Prior to his Fairfield work Father OdelI was connected with the sacred Heart purish, New Haven His first work following his ordination was as prefect at St. Thomas seminary. Thence he became a curate at South Norwalk, and later was connected with St. Francis orphan asylum, New Ha- ven. His success in this institution led to his assignment to open the Catholic Industrial school at Deep River where he remained until he be- came curate in the New Haven parish.
 Another transfer announced by DooIey from the Sacred Heart church, Waterbury, to St Mary's church, Gov entry.
 St. Thomas, Fairfield, heretofore, has been conducted by one priest. and the fact that no one has been assigned to succeed Father OdeH is taken by many parishioners to indicate that Father Duggan will conduct the par iSh unassisted.
 Father Oden was one of the most ardent devotees of salt water bathing in these parts. He was usually among the first in the spring and the last, in the fall, to be seen in bathing togs at Fairfield beach.
