Admonish Volunteers
To Bear Selves Quietly

Armagh ire, March 22.-Seven hun
dred Ulster volunteers attended a
church parade at the Cathedral here
this afternoon. The Union Jack flew
from the tower. Before pronouncing
the benediction, the Lord Primate of
Ireland exhorted the volunteers to
bear themselves quietly and not by
word or deed provoke or annoy those
who differed from them, even though
these men wished to throw Ireland
back into the slough of despond
Their motto should be Defence, not

.DEPOSED VENEZUELAN
PRESIDENT DISCOVERED
IN PORT OF SPAIN

Port of Spain, Trinidad, March o.
General Cipriano Castro, the deposed
President of Venezuela, has been re-
siding in Portt of Spain since last
July. Castro was discovered by the
police while they were searching a
house which had been occupied by his
brother, General Carmelo Castro. Ac-
cording to his own story, the EXPIRES
ident came here on Royal Mail
steamer from Southampton. He kept
to his cabin during the entire voyage,
and when he landed he was clean
shaven and escaped recognition.
He has remained in seclusion, he
says, because of the persecution
which he has suffered everywhere
since leaving Venezuela. He declares
that he has been surrounded by the
spies and agents of Juan Vincente
Gomez, the Venezuelan President.
General Castro today expressed con-
fidence in his fair treatment by the
British government. No arms were
found in the house where he has been
residing, and apparently he had no
connection with the arms seized dur
ing the raid of a hotel here Saturday.
He proposes to remain in Port of
Spain, if he is permitted to do so, and
will be joined by his wife, who is now
in Porto Rico. He believes that the
police search was instigated by his
enemies, it having been reported as
far back as Jan. % that he was in
Trinidad
1t is rumored that the government
has received instructions from Lon
don not to disturb General Castro
for the present.

gering the Frenchman, and as jean
nette was the more aggressive the ref

An unusually large crowd cheered

Bangor, Me-, March 22.-Associate
Justice Cornish has issued a tempo

Last-Block Co. from crossing the line
of the Bangor e. Aroostook Railroad

Application was made to the rail-

refused.
The railroad claims that Fleetwood

this refusal and when the right of
way was closed with fence ordered
the fence torn down.

THEY USED TO
LAST LONGER,
SAYS SKELLY

Jack skelly. always a plugger Tor
the fighter OF the old school, takes
occasion to remark that the men con-
with him and boxing
before him lasted longer In the ring
than those OF the fraternity OF today.
Think OF Johnny Coulon. the
former bantam champion OF the
world. retiring from the arena at
the age OF 20 years. Wolgast is
only 26 and he IL almost all In.
Joe coster Is through at 20.
Young Corbett and Terry McGov-
ern also retired before they reach
Welsh's years.
Constant training and milling
too often may be one OF the rea-
sons for these early breakdowns.
but most OF the boys travel too
fast and live abnormal lives.
Many OF the old pugilists were
able to battle TO q finish with bare
knuckles until they were 40 or
more, but that was different
and more normal age.
I'm pleased TO see. however,
that game. scientific Coulon has
retired from the ring. He made q
courageous effort to come back,
but Il was no use. Johnny was
always a clean-living boy and
cannot quite understand why he
was compelled to step down and
out OF the ring so early In his
brilliant career. Coulon certain
ly was a credit to the game and
always fought honestly and like a
real champion.
| wonder what will become OF
boxer like Battling Lavinsky IL he
keeps up the pace he is going at
for the next two years. He Is
only % years OF age, but the con-
: slant strain Of training and fight
ing will surely tell on him In a
couple Of years or so.
