TO KEEP OUT OF MEXICO.
Friendly Non-Interference Believed To
Be Wilson's Policy.

Washington.-Whil President VIII
son has not yet announced the policy
which he thinks the American Gov
eminent ought to pursue toward Mex
leo, there is every reason to believe he
IS evolving a plan of non-interference
in the internal affairs Of the Southern
republic
Two developments emphasized the
trend of affairs toward an attitude of
friendly non-interference 1t became
known that the President, in confer
ences with members of the House
Military Affairs Committee, had dis
couraged the idea of making prepare.
tons for a volunteer army.
Secretary Bryans request for an
appropriation OF 100000 with which
to transport destitute Americans
from Mexico in emergencies likewise
developed a feeling in official circles
that the American Government would
endeavor in any crisis to remove
Americans expeditiously from the
trouble zones
This procedure, it is felt. would
minimize the chances for interna-
tional difficulty as any destruction of
property would be cared for through
indemnification, and there is every in
dication. incidentally, that the Wilson
administration will pursue vigorous
policy toward recovering damages TO
foreign property in Mexico.

POSES AS THE
NATIONAL HERO
General Castro Issues a Bonn
baStiC Proclamation.
CALLS VENEZUELA TO ARMS.
An Expedition Organized To Meet the
Invaders - All OF the Govern
ment Officials In Coro Killed
Or Taken Prisoners

Caracas, NeneZuela-It was report
ed here that all the Venezuelan gov
eminent officials in Coro. in the State
of Falcon, were surprised by former
President Cipriano Castro and killed
or taken prisoners.
In a proclamation dated Coro, July
q, Castro says, in part:
War has become inevitable! | de-
clare myself in campaign against Juan
Vincente Gomez, whose treason and
usurpation of power since 1903 have
become real catastrophe, calling me
from private life.
Crime extends its horrible wings
over the whole Republic of Vene-
zuela. The crazy and ferocious Gomez
bears on his FOREHEAD the eternal mark
of traitor His brutal look and his
prefdious smile encourage his few fol-
lowers to finish the ruin of the father
land.
Heroic Venezuela acclaims me
again to revindicate her rights.
Il am slave to honor and duty,
and / accept the honor.
My program in regard to domestic
affairs is to save my country from
threatening anarchy, and my foreign
policy is to join hands with civilization
and progress on the basis of equity
and Justice
Everybody in Venezuela should
take arms and contribute to the sal
walton Of the fatherland."
The mobilization of the Venezuelan
government troops in Caracas was
completed, and an expedition is ex-
pected to leave the capital at any
moment to meet the revolutionary in
vaders.
1t is believed the first objective
point of the government troops win
be the State Of Falcon, of which Coro,
the capital, was reported to have
fallen into hte hands of Gen. Cipriano
Castro's adherents a few days ago.
The government troops are well
organized and thoroughly equipped
for any service.

STUPENDOUS TASK
FOR COMMISSION
Physical Valuation of Railroads
Big Cost.
PLANS GIVEN TO CONGRESS-.
officers Of Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Estimate II Will Take
From Five To Seven
Years.

shington.-Physica valuation of
the railroads of the United States by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will take from five to seven years by
specially organized corps of men, and
will cost the government from $10,-
100000 to $15,000,0 600 or more, accord
ing to plans of the commission pre-
sented to the House Appropriations
Committee. The commission has
asked for an immediate appropriation
of $1,500,000 for the organization of
the corps of engineers necessary TO
undertake the work.
Commissioners Clements and
Prouty, and Secretary George B. Nc
Ginty, of the commission have told
the House appropriations sub-commit-
tee that a carefully worked out esti-
mate places the cost of the field work
at $1,921,500 a year throughout that
period
The plan presented by Mr. McGinty
cOntemplates the division of the coun-
try into five districts containing ap-
proximately $4,000 miles of railroad
each.
Mr., McGinty has explained to the
committee that the estimated cost per
year of each of these district organ
izations with their groups of field
squads would be about $3S4,300, or
total per year for the five districts of
nearly two million dollars In addi-
ton to this he estimated that the ac-
counting feature of the work would
cast about $350000 a year, and that
the maintenance of a valuation office
in Washington would cost probably
$4,000 year
Although the committee was
skeptical Mr.. McGinty was confident
that the commission would be able to
get the field force organized through
the civil service commission by the
first of next year, to take care of the
first years work 1t was for this pur-
pose, he said, that the commission
needed $1,500,0OO.
Mr.. McGtnty mentioned cases where
it cost from SO to s75 a mile to ascer-
tain the value of railroads.
In all of these cases only the re-
production value of the road was
ascertained," he continued, whereas
we are required to ascertain
the reproduction value, the de-
preciated value and, in addition, to
work out the history OF the roads and
ascertain the amount of money invest
ed in their original construction. The
total cost to the government will prob
ably exceed $50 a mile or a total cost
of from S1O,00O,OOO to $15,OOOOOO, but,
Of course, this is only a guess.
