"Stormy Petrol Is
Barred From U.s..
as Undesirable

~ nee the president of a nation
next a revolutionary leader,
then world famous exile.
General Cipriano Castro final
ly came to notice recently as an unde-
sirable alien at the threshold OF the
United States.
Ex-President Castro of Venezuela ar
rived at Ellis island intending to be
merely a tourist in this country for
short time-sO he said. But 1T was not
fated that he should accomplish that
peaceful mission. Whether the high
government officials or Venezuelan dip
lomats suspected Castro's purpose as
being political or not, was not definite
ly stated, but the powers at Washing
ton gave Castro to understand he could
not land. He was forced to turn back
from Ellis island, at New York, with
out having set foot on the mainland OF
the United States.
Castro is known as the stormy Pet
rel' of South America. 1t is declared
he has been the biggest trouble maker
among Tie cAClldUlc,
Latin-American republics for fifteen
years. For ten years, after capturing
the government by leading revolt, he
ruled Venezuela with an iron hand. He
waxed enormously rich the while by
giving out concessions on his cOuntry's
resources to foreign capitalists. He
crushed out many incipient rebellions
by the use Of bloody methods. In the
end the dictator became i'll and was
forced to go abroad for his health. In
his absence the enemies Of his govern
ment struck quickly and hard. They
overthrow Castro's supporters, tried
them and punished them for consp1ra-
cies and murder and declared the presi-
dent himself an exile, to be summarily
dealt with should he return.
From that time On the STORMY Pet
rel' has kept diplomatic circles in
many countries in state Of uneasi-
ness Once he actually led futile
revolution to regain his power, leaving
the country only when his forces were
badly whipped.
Three departments Of the United
States government were called into
play In dealing with CastrO's case when
he arrived here. They were the depart
ment of public health, the department

cIPRIANo CASTRO.
Of commerce and labor and finally the
department of state. First officers of
the health department subjected Gen.
eral Castro to the most rigorous sort Of
a physical examination.
The physicians were forced to report
that they found absolutely nothing
about the visitors health or mental Or
physical being which would warrant
his exclusion from this country.
Then the department Of commerce
and labor tried to find a reason for bar
ring the alien. The officials, however,
discovered that General Castro had
plenty of money and was not likely,
therefore, to become public charge;
that he was a tourist and knew where
he was going, was not contract labor
er; had not been convicted Of crime
involving moral turpitude and was not
fugitive, and, finally, did not intend
to settle in this country anyway.
That left only the state department
to act. This department has more lee
way than the others, particularly where
a friendly nation or the ruler thereof
has lost his taste for former citizen
The department did not like to appear
in the matter if it could be helped, but
on the failure of the other arms Of the
government this was unavoidable. Dip
| lOmatic pressure, the exact details Of
which are unknown outside govern
ment officialdom, was then applied.
General Castro then issued statement
to the effect that he was ready to leave
for Germany on the next available ship.
Castro embarked in coming to this
country on the steamship La Touraine
under the name of L. Ruiz. When his
identity was discovered he resumed his
| real name
Castro at first rallied at his fate when
apprise1 of the objection to his land
ing. He declared there was no such
thing as the much Wanted American
liberty. You will have to dump the
Liberty statue in the ocean il YOU bar
me-" he is said to have declared.
| While the investigations were going
ON and from then until Castro re-em-
barked the exile was given the most
luxurious quarters available at Ellis
Island and was treated as q guest.

month transcontinentaI trip.
Starting from San Diego, Cal, August 9
the tourists have been blazing the way
across the continent, stopping at all the
towns en- route booming the Panama-Pa-
cifc exposition in 1915. They were well
prepared for their long journey of four
thousand miles. as could be seen from the
manner In which their car was equipped
Luggage of every description was strap
ped on the sides of the car, while the
trunks in the rear were filled to overflow
ing.
The machine, including the top and hood
over the motor, bore large signs telling
of the coming exposition. On the panels
Of the two rear doors were the official
seals Of the exposition, which had been
painted by hand in oil. Strapped to the
side of the machine was a large motion
picture camera, which Mr.. Macarton has
been operating daily since the trail-blaz-
ers left the Pacific coast. A special elec-
trio searchlight was located on the right
side of the machine which was used for
locating landmarks at night. This was in
addition to the glaring electric headlights
and the front dash lamps. Rope, tackle
and extra tires also constituted part OF
the equipment OF the big machine.

Leaving San Diego. the motorists trail

Yuma, Ariz. From there they went to
Phoenix, and after crossing the Roose-

for st. LOUIS. from where they followed
the old national turnpike to Washington,
passing through Pittsburgh, Bedford

No trouble was encountered. nor did
any breakdowns occur on the trip. The
tire trouble was slight, not any more oc-
curing than would happen to a motor
ist about the streets Of Washington.
While passing through the middle west
they encountered the recent blizzard,
which made the going rather hard. but
they were none the worse for their eX-
perience.
