VENEZUELA REVOLUTION
SEEMS TO HAVE ended
Reports to State Department Indicate
Government Controls the Situation.
Castro's Whereabouts Mystery.
COUSIN MAY IMPERSONATE HIM

II was learned yesterday that the State
Department has no direct information
that Cipriano Castro is really in Vene-
zuela TO lead in person the revolution
against the Gomez administration which
was begun August l for the purpose OF
making him President OF the South
American republic.
Castro, it has been reported. landed In
Venezuela to take charge of the revou-
ton. and a proclamation soon after was
issued purporting to come from him cali
ing upon the people of the country TO
rally behind the veteran revolutionist
against the "tyrannous' Gomez.
1t develops. however, that all the in
forma ton the State Department has
received from Venezuela with regard to
the landing of Castro, as well as to the
actions which could be directly attributed
TO him. has been of an unofficial charac-
ter, and that as far as official reports
are concerned it has no account of the
movements Of Castro for the past two
weeks.
Castro is supposed to be at Coros on
the west coast of Venezuela. which is
the only important place now in the
possession OF the revolutiOnists.
a report was circulated yesterday that
Secretary Bryan was in doubt as to the
whereabouts of Castro and believed that
Gen. Torres castro, COUSIN Oh tlprl-
amos. and a leader of the revolutionists,
might have been masquerading as his
notorious kinsman. 1t was said that Mr..
Bryan had asked Consul Noetter at
Caracas TO lind sut if this was the
case. Secretary Bryan denied that he
had directed Consul Noetter to make
such inquiries and indicated that he was
confident that Cipriano Castro was in
Venezuela.
The State Department yesterday re-
ceived its first information from Nene-
zuela since the wires were cut there in
the early days of the revolution.
The construction which the State De-
partment places ON reports from Henry
G. Tenant and the American consuls
in Venezuelan cities who were heard
from yesterday is that the end of the
revolution is near.
Charge Tenant, whose official status
is that of secretary of the legation, is
likely to remain in charge at Caracas for
some time to come. according to present
indications.
The President has nominated Preston
McGoodwin, an Oklahoma editor, to be
Minister to Venezuela, but the nominal
ton was held up in the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs because of
McGoodwins alleged connection with
President Taft's publicity campaign in
1905. and 1t is indicated that the Senate
will refuse to confirm him.

SHIVELY BUSY Reading
DR.. REINSCH'S BOOKS
will Go Through Professors Works
Before Reporting On Propiety
Of Confirming Him.
POLICY OF CHAIRMAN BACON

A number Of books on the Far East.
on colonial governments OF the world
and on political economy were delivered
at the office OF Senator Shively yesterday
by messengers from the Congressional
Library. The consignment was intended
to embrace every volume written by O..
Paul S. Reinsch, of Wisconsin. that is
available in the library. DR.. Reinsch.
who is professor OF political economy IN
the University OF Wisconsin, has been
nominated to be Minister TO China, and
his nomination has been referred to Sem
ator Shively- Of Indiana as the subcom-
mittee to investigate and report on tn
propriety Of confirming him.
Under the new policy adopted by
Chairman Bacon, OF the Committee on
Foreign Relations. all or the writings Of
Dr. Reinsch will have to be scrutinized
to determine whether he has written any
thing that Is in any way offensive. Sena
tor Shively will make a study of Dr..
Reinsch's works on China and the Far
East. with a view of ascertaining
whether he has expressed any ideas not
consistent with American policy. or
which might be offensive to China.
II is fortunate for Walter II. Page,
Ambassador 10 Great Britain, that
Senator Bacon had not read Mr.. Pages
works of fiction before he voted to
report his nomination favorably. The
Senator from Georgia had never read
many of Mr.. Pages books until after
the Ambassador had been confirmed
and was on his way to Great Britain.
II was then that Senator Bacon's at
tention was called to The Southern
err" The Senator from Georgia con-
siders this book as more or less Of a
Misrepresentation of Southern char
scter. and he admits that IL he had
read il before Mr.. Page was confirmed
the authdr-diplomat would still be
editing a popular magazine, instead of
representing the United States at the
Court of st. James.

AVIATOR WOOD FLIES
ABOVE The CLOUDS
Starting from Fort Myer in Drinking
Rain, He Reaches an Altitude
Of $500 Feet.
ARMY OFFICERS SEE FLIGHT

c. Murvin Wood yesterday made
flight OF sixt, minutes in his Moisant
monoplane, the Bluebird, in spite of the
rain. During part OF his flight, Mr.
Wood was above the clouds. He started
from the parade ground at Fort Myer.
in a drilling rain. shortly before 8
o'clock. 1t required only six seconds
for him to leave the ground. and his
machine climbed so fast that 1t was
unnecessary for him to circle the field
to gain altitude.
Residents along the Potomac again
were favored by Mr.. Wood. He started
from Fort Myer for the river. and con-
tinued along its course for several miles
before he turned. As he reached the
parade ground the machine was almost
obscured by clouds. From $500 feet
Mr.. Wood descended in a sharp volplane
towards the ground. The monoplane was
directed away from the fort. an watchers
who had not seen his former flights
thought that he had made a forced land
ing. He disappeared below the sky
line. but again flew into sight. this time
at an altitude OF about 500 feet. During
the sixteen minutes of his fight. Mr..
Wood maintained nearly seventy miles
an hour. He covered about twenty two
miles.
When the BIuebird had been taken into
the riding hall Mr.. Wood explained his
sudden descent He said that he had
risen above the level OF the lower clouds
and had been env5bped for several min
utes in mist so heavy that his goggles
had been clouded. Then he rose 10 q
level at wrich, while he could see
clouds both above and below. the atmos.
phere was clear. and the temperature
was probably fifteen degrees colder than
on the ground. During most of the flight
he could not see the ground. Even after
he had started to descend, he said. he
was unable to place Fort Myer.
Among the army officers who saw the
fight were Lieut.. +. c. Graham, Col.
Joseph Garrard. and Capt W. ]. Glas-
gov. All of the officers have shown in.
terest in the flights OF Mr.. Wood.
More. and probably longer. flights will
be made by Mr.. Wood this afternoon.
J. r. Hall. general manager of the
Moisant Aviation Company. who has rep
resented his company here, expects to
return to New York today to confer with
officials at the Hampstead Plains Avia-
ton School. He will return here Sunday

MEASURING HEAT OF SUN.
Interesting Tests Being Made with
the PyrhcIiometer.

Scientists OF the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, headed by Prof. L. B. Aldrich. are
using the pyrheliometer. an instrument
invented by Prof. Charles F. Marvin,
Chief of the Weather Bureau, to deter
mine the extent of the zone OF atmos-
phere around the world and measure the
degree of heat thrown from rays Of the
sun. The experiments, which are under
the direction Of Prof G. C. Abbott, of
Mount Wilson Observatory. are under
way at Catalina Island. near Los An
geles. Cal.
1t is proposed to measure the heat of
the suns rays before they have been
cooled by contact with the atmospheric
zone. Instruments are sent up in bas-
kets supported by balloons. 1t is hoped
in this way to measure the heat and
find the depth OF the atmospheric en-
velope. Records are to be made at points
from fifteen to twenty miles above the
earth. In time. 1t is believed, the scien-
lists will be able to gather data about
conditions fifty miles or more above the
earth.
