.BECkER'S MOTHER

Condemned Man Writes Her a
Letter Every Day. o

New York, Jan. 81. Mrs. ANN
Becker, ninety years old, living In
Long Island town, receives every
morning a letter from %her son, ina
which he tells her that he is getting
better and that he expects to see her
Just as soon as his health Is fully re-
stored.
The missive which the old mother
gets comes from former Police Lieu
tenant Charles Becker, who is in the
death house at Sing Sing, hoping that
the court of appeals will reverse his
conviction for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler.
The aged woman hasn't seen paper
for a good many years. It Is hard for
her to make out the characters. SO
there is always some one good enough
to read all the parts that might inter-
est her. In this way the news that her
favorite son has been convicted and Is
under sentence of death has been kept
from her. She thinks he is In hospt-
tai, and all the letters are written upon
the stationery of a hospital.
According to the same reports. Mrs.

ORDERS CASTRO
TO Be DEP0RTED
Former Dictator OF Venezuela
Cannot Remain Here.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary Ma
gel ordered the deportation of Cipriano
Castro, former president of Venezuela,
from the United States under the i'm
migration laws.
The main grounds for this act.on,
according to a statement issued by the
secretary, is that, if Castro is given a
hearing and is permitted to refuse to
answer questions, any alien refusing to
answer questions may also demand
hearing.
Secretary Nagel based his decision
on the ground that General Castro de
liberately refused to answer pertinent
questions put to him by the special
board at Ellis Island in connection
with the killing of General Paradez.
This killing, it was alleged. was
without trial or hearing of any kind
and Castro as president, was directly
responsible for it.
Secretary Nagel reviews the law In
the case, and says that 1t brings for.
ward strongly whether an alien seek
ing admission to this country can be
permitted to refuse to answer ques
ton based upon apparently authentic
information and directed to distinct
ground for exclusion under the law.
