CASTRO DENIED
WRIT TO ENTER
Former Venezuelan's President
Sent Back to Ellis
Island.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Cipriano
Castro, former president of Vene-
zuela, was dismissed by Judge Holt in
the United States District Court to-
day.
In dismissing the writ Judge Holt
ruled that Castro should not be al
lowed to enter the country under
bond pending a decision of the In
vestigat ton Board of Inquiry. He will,
therefore, remain on Ellis Island.
This sustains the contention of the
government, as argued in court yes
terday by United States District-At-
torney Wise, that the Federal courts
should not interfere in the case until
the Board of Inquiry at Ellis Island
shall have passed on Castro's right
to enter this country. The board has
not yet announced its findings. When
its decision is made known it is
thought that Castro may again seek
the courts aid

however. Castro will have to appear
without counsel before the board.
Yesterday when Castro was brought
into the United States Circuit Court
on q writ of habeas corpus obtained
by George Gordon Battle, Judge Holt
announced at first that he would dis
miss the writ and return General
Castro to the custody Of the govern
ment. Then he said that he would
make no decision until he made up
his mind whether he had jurisdiction
to grant bail. Judge Holt seemed to
think that even detained immigrant
should have the right to release on
bail, but he said he would not decide
the question until today.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--Immigra-
ton officials, when they heard Judge
Hollis decision. said they probably
would. proceed to determine Castro's
eligibility to entry to the United

received any word from headquar-

an authoritative source and it is likely
that the local officials will be notified

out the country.
Miss OReilly said that she had
spent a month as a worker in the
canning camps of New York State,
and after observing conditions had
returned to them with T. c. Purdy, of
the New York State department of
labor. Mr. Purdy was on hand today
to corroborate Miss O'Reilly's testi-
mony. Miss O'Reiliy produced large
number of photographs she had taken
in the camps.
Diseased workers. bad housing con-
ditions. lack of sanitation and neglect
of ordinary sanitary precautions in
the preparation of canned products
were charged by Miss O'Reilly. She
said that all of the children in the
camps over the age of 10 were en-
ployed in the camps. She instanced

who, she said, worked ten hours a
day for 20 cents.

the remainder of the two families to
which they belonged were at work in

Assault Messenger, Grab Cash.
Battle Yellowstone Is Cap
tured, Other Escapes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.--A squad of
detectives baited a trap for high
waymen today with e60-year-old
bank messenger and satchel con-
tanning $4,000. The highwaymen took
the bait. One detective was shot and
may die, and the messenger was
beaten senseless and may die from
fractured skull. A pitched battle,
with bullets peppering houses like
hail. was fought on the East Side:
One of the highwaymen escaped. the
other was captured.
The messenger, Peter E. Plunkett,
left the Union Exchange National
Bank, where he had been employed
for ten years, with his satchel in his
hand and cloud of detectives trail-
ing him. Within the satchel was the
currency and silver for the weekly
payrolls of two factories. The detec-
tives were disguised as laborers to
avert suspicion.
Messenger Attacked by Thugs.
AS .Plunkett stepped into the dark
ened hallway of one of the factories
two men sprang from nowhere beside
him. One of them crumpled him up,
senseless on the tagging, before he
could cry out. The assailant used a
blackjack. The other highwayman
grabbed the satchel and both darted
away.
The factory had not been apprised
Of the plan, and detained one of the
detectives who had gone ahead of
the messenger. While he was ex-
planning the highwaymen were MAX
ing off. The detective started in pur-
suit, caught one of the assailants and
rolled to- the cobblestones with him.
Thief Returned Fire.
Meantime the detectives in the rear
of Plunkett, not expecting so quick
la denoument, began blazing away
with their pistols at the other fleeing
highwayman. The thief fired as he
fled. and, keeping the pack at his
heels, darted down a side street,
through the traffic, into a hallway,
out the back door, over fences, back
into the street, and disappeared,
leaving behind bullet-pierced over
coat. The satchel, dropped in his
flight, was found intact ten feet from
the factory doorway.
One of the fugitive's bullets found
mark in James A. Watson, de-
tective, entering his back and passing
nearly through his body. He cannot
recover.
The man who was tripped to the
cobblestones said he was Frank
Moran, 10 years old, a packer. He
was held without bail. Plunket was
taken to a hospital.
