FOY LOSES $3.50
IN WINNING 81
TarrieS in Atlanta on Bet-NoW
Must Hire Special to Reach
Birmingham.

Just because he couldn't resist sport
ing proposition, Eddie Foy is marooned
this afternoon. facing the alternative of
paying $3.50 for special train or disap-
pointing a big audience in Birmingham
tonight. And all the while his lover the
River company is speeding toward Biz
mingham without him.
Can you beat ito" he asked with his
hyperbolic smile. as he sat in the Pied
mont this afternoon and pondered over
the problem. Here ] win yet / lose"
He added to the only silver lining to his
cloud IS the fact that he won a 81 bet
from Honey Boy" Evans by staying over.
It happened like this When Foy met
Honey Boy" Evans this morning there
was reunion. Foy refused the fourth
drink and Evans tainted him-old age,
cold blood and all that As a matter of
pride, Foy had to wager the minstrel man
that he would march in the Honey Boy"
parade this morning in spite Of the fact
that his company left for Birmingham at
Z o'clock. He would take a chance on
later train. to show that there is some
glimmering Of sporting fire in his blood
even If he did shy at the fourth drink
Foy was in the parade this morning, all
right. But when he stepped out Of the
line he was greeted with the information
that the train which he planned TO take
to Birmingham was late-too late to land
him in time for his engagement-andt that
the $3.50 special was the only way out Of
the hole
The comedian stll is thinking it over,
with only a short time left in which to
decide on chartering the special or miss
ing the performance. But from the look
in his, eye, II is safe to judge that he win
not disappoint Birmingham
Still, he has a grievance.
Don't you think Evans ought to pay
half?" he asked plaintiyey.
Then he Frightened. But maybe he'll
give me a job If l stay he said

CIPRIANO CASTRO
ORDERED DEPORTED
BY SECRETARY NAGEL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Secretary
Nagel today ordered the deportation Of
Cipriano Castro, former president Of
Venezuela. from the United States IN
der the immigration laws.
The main grounds for this action,
according to statement issued by the
secretary. is that if Castro is given
hearing and is permitted to refuse to
answer questions. any alien refusing
to answer questions may also demand
hearing. If this course were pursued,
the secretary declares, the immigration
laws would become useless.

This danger was revealed by the eX-

evidently intended as firebrands to burn

bin were dropped by the government.

one of the bitterest suffragists in

The woman became so agitated with
mingled rage and excitement that she
could not articulate. She was sentenced

option of paying a So fine.
Mrs. Despard, who, with Mrs En-
