PRESIDENT DENIES THAT
 SECRETARY CENSORS MAIL
Letters Criticizing Catholics Not Kept From Him By Humility, Is As
 surance Given Editor


 Washington. Feb. 1S.-In a letter sto w. w. Prescott, editor of the Prot estant Magazine published here, Pres ident Wilson has denied emphaticaily that his correspondence is handled with religious prejudice by his seGre- tary, Joseph F. Tumulty- The core pondence made public by the maga- zine follows:
 Asks Statement of President, 'sIEhe President, Washington D. G.
 Jan. IS, 1914:
 .tSir: I learn from personal inter views and .correspondence that there is widespread. feeling among Prot estants that it is practically impossi- ble for any communication rela ati1g to the activities of the Roman Cath oIic church to reach you personally, for the reason that all such letters are withheld from you by your pri- vate secretary, Mr. Tumuaty. It is unfortunate both for you and for the country that such an impression pre- walks and that it seems to have some foundation.
 Before dealing with this subject in. tkis magazine, I am writing to ask for a statement from you which might be of service in restoring confidence among some of tne best citizens of this republic Any reply, however brief, showing that this letter actually reached you would be a, source of sat fsfaction-

 Early Trial

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 18-A despatch from Washington saying that Maxine Castillo, the bandit leader. would be delivered to the constftntionalists, was brought to the notice of General Villa early today. He received the news with satisfaction and said Cas- tillo would be formally charged with the murder of M. J. Ghmartin, an American, and 50 others at the Cumbre Tunnel.
 It is promised that the trial would not be delayed.
 Alamo. Hueco Ranch, New Mexico. Feb. 1s-Maximo Castillo, bandit chief blamed for the Cumbre tunnel disaster in which ten Americans and forty-one others lost their lives, cross ed. the border last evening with six of his followers and surrendered him self to the United States troops on border patrol duty.
 Castillo was ragged, his beard had not been trimmed for weeks and he was "a bandit chief that Captain Kidd would have been ashamed of when he rode across the Palomas Land and Cattle Company ranch and gave himself up to the negro troops of the Ninth Cavalry. He was chased across the border by Gen. Villas troops
 Castillo set fire to freight train in El-Cumbre tunnel two weeks ago

DEPARTMENT CHIEFS WORRY OVER PRUNING
 OF ANNUAL BUDGETS

Washington, Feb. 1S-Some mem bers of the cabinet were wondering today whether the annual estimates of their departments would be pFuned as sharply as were those of Secretary Garrison by the House military affairs committee.
 MT Garrison explained that, while he was disappointed. he had no per. sonal feeling against the House com rnittee for it's action.
 T cut the estimates,'' he said, 'sto the lowest possible fgures-what honestly believed was necessary to maintain the army efficiently The gentlemen in Congress thought other wise The country will know where the responsibility Hes.''
 Secretary Daniels, while not con- hdent that his estimates would be ap- proved, expressed the belief that the navy building program, including two battIeshtps, would be authorized by Congress

VETO THREATENS
 IMMIGRATION BILL
President Is Opposed to Pro vision Requiring Lit-
 eracy Test.

: Washington, Feb. 1s-Facing presf- dential veto of the Burnett immigra- ton bill should it pass Congress with the literacy4 test provision incorpor- ated- in it, the Senate immigration committee today resumed considera- ton of the measure. The prospects were for a lively session for, despite President Wilson's opposition to the much discussed provision. members of the committee were inclined to retain that feature in the bill as it passed the House. $ < The word that the President would exercise his veto prerogative in event the bill was received by him with the literacy test provision included was a great surprise to committee members They had been under the impression that. while he did not favor that fea- ture, he would sign the bill if it passed Congress.
 Now, however, the practical certain ty of veto awaiting the bill should it be passed with the Iteracy test pro- vision has served to compIicate the situation and members of the com
 nfttee were prepared to thresh it over when they met today

 The presidents reply under date of Jan 19, 1914, follows:
 My Dear Sir: Allow me to ac- lno wledge the receipt of your letter Of Jan. 15 and to thank you for your candor in writing me.
 T beg leave to assure you that the impression that any part of my cor respondence is withheld from me in any circumstances by my secretary on account Of religious predi1ections on his part Is absurdly and utterly false.
 tI venture to say that no president ever had more frank and satisfactory relations with his secretary that l have with mine. The whole of my correspond is constantly open to me MT Tumu1ty is more prompt perhaps to call my attention to mat tens in which his prejudice is supposed to be engaged than to other matters Of relative indifference
 stOf course, need hardly add I am not speaking from an impression, but from knowledge of just how my cor respondence is handled. Sincerely yours,
