Pictures and Statues of
the Dictator.
CAPITAL CITY IN A TURMOIL
Property of President's Henchmen
Wrecked and Deposition of
Executive Looked For.
The Venezuelan capital Tuesday ex
perienced a significant popular demon
stration against the absent President
Castro. It took the
form of an out
break of disorder ,
following the war
like activities of
the Dutch warships
along the coast. By
nightfall it was
necessary to de
clare martial law
to put an end to
CASTKO. the rioting mm pn-
l.'iging The people rounded up all the
statues and pictures of President Cas
tro from clubs and other semi-public
buildings and burned them with rejoic
ing on the Plaza Bolivar. Castro's rule
in Venezuela seemed to be ended. In
spite of Holland's warlike activity on
the coast , there have been no demon
strations against the Netherlands. All
have been directed against President
Castro and Acting President Gomez.
Cipriano Castro has bpon dictator o
Venezuela since 1S90 anil is regarded as
the Plague of Europe. lie seized the
capital of the South American republic
in 1S09 and deposed President Andrade ,
who had fled to the island of Trinidad
on a gunboat , the only effective fighting
ship of the republic. President Castro
has proved one of the most successful dic
tators in South American history. He
has been menaced by revolutions and plot
ters since he assumed office , while for
eign powers have been on his trail.
Castro's origin is unknown. Spanish
and Indian blood flows in his veins. He
was a cattle herder in the ' 90s before he
became Venezuela's dictator and the defier
of the powers of Europe.

Pay Boll Patriot Gets Blow When
Chytraus Decides Galpin Case.
A smashing blow to the pay roll pa
triot was administered by Judge Axel
Chytraus of the Appellate Court in
Chicago when he liamled down a deep-
delving decision holding that no per
son can draw two , salaries from the
public treasury simultaneously.
The decision came in the case of Her
man B. Meyer against County Clerk Jo
seph F. Haas , an affair of two years'
standing Ln the court records of Cook
County and involving the right of
Homer K. Galpin , chief clerk of the Chicago
cage Municipal Court , to sit in the
State Senate , representing the Second
District. Galpin's term as Senator is
oflieially waning , and for all practical
purposes has expired. Judge Clifford
refused to issue a writ of mandamus
to County Clerk Haas on the petition
of Herman B. Meyer , who had sought
Galpin's se.it in the Senate. County
Clerk Haas in turn had refused to no
tify Governor Deneen officially that a
vacancy existed in the Senate from the
Galpin district following Galpin's elec
tion -U5 chief clerk of the Municipal
Court. Judge Chytraus and the Ap
pellate bench now hold that Judge Clif
ford was in error and that Galpin had
no right to a seat in the Senate dur
ing the last two years.
The point of interest to politicians
generally , but most specifically unpleas
ant to more than thirty members-elect
of the incoming Illinois General Assem
bly , is that the common hw is against
two salaries going into the pockets of
one. man at the same time from the
public treasuries , and specifically tUit
a State legislator under the constitu
tion is forbidden to hold any other re
munerative oflice tinder the United
States or State government.
It is known within legislative circles
and among politicians that a large per
centage of the personnel of the Cook
County delegation in the Legislature
has an intimate acquaintance with some
public pay roll. There are examples
of the same situation with regard to
some of the down-State members of the
General Assembly. Federal , State , city
and Sanitary District employes , who
are drawing pay now , will be noted on
the official roll call of the Legislature.

dynamited by four unmasked robbers

nine miles east of Portland , Ore. Ex

bers secured little of value. The robbers
did not molest the passengers , but un
coupled the express car and ordered the
engineer to take it down the track to
ward Portland. About a mile beyond the
point where the train was held up the
doors of the express car were shattered
by nitroglycerine. The train did not
carry a through safe , a small local safe
and a strong box being the only recep
tacles for valuables. The robbers com
pelled Express Me cnger Huff to open
the small safe. It contained but three
or four small packages , believed to have
been of small value. The strong bos
was not touched. The robbers escaped.

Attorney-General Says It Is Needed
in Prosecution of Rich
Defendants.
CITES THE STANDARD FINE ,
That Case , He Thinks , Shows the
Necessity of a Change in the
Present Statutes.
That the United States should have
iho right of appeal to the Suprein0
Court of the United States as a matter
of right , whenever
a conviction is re
versed on appeal by
the defendant to a
Circuit Court of
Appeals , is the
opinion expressed
by Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte in
his annual report
for the fiscal vear
enuing .nine . .u ,
c. .T. r.oxAPAKTE. lees , submitted to
Congress. In this connection he cites
the case of the reversal of the Standard
Oil fine of more than $20,000,000 , in
which an application for a writ of certiorari -
tiorari has been made to the Supreme
Court.
lie holds that an amendment of the
present laws would be appropriate in
the case of all criminal proceedings , but
suggests that it would be especially so
in connection with prosecutions where
the wealth of the defendant usually
renders an appeal on his or its part
from any adverse judgment a matter
of course.
The Attorney General's opinion is
that in such cases there is no question
of double jeopardy , as the appeal of
the defendant from the original convic
tion is recognized by the undoubted
weight of well-considered judicial authority - t
thority as a waiver of his rights in '
this respect and as in the absence of i
some such provision of law as the Attorney - |
torney General recommends '
guilty persons -
sons may escape from just punishment
under the law as finally determined by
the court of last resort. j
He declares that the consistent pol
icy of the Department of Justice during
the year in enforcing the statutes in
tended to protect the interstate and for
eign commerce of the country from
evils arising through combinations in
restraint of trade and attempts to cre
ate monopoly , as well as discrimina
tions and other illegal practices on the
part of common carriers engaged in
such commerce , has been to investigate
carefully all complaints submitted to it ,
whether by public authorities or by re
sponsible private citizens , and to au
thorize proceedings , whether civil or
criminal , only when such investigation
has shown the complaints to be serious
and well founded and that success
might be reasonably expected.
Mr. Bonaparte reports that this pol
icy was attended during the year by a
fair measure of success in the proceedings -
ings authorized and that as a consequence
quence of decisions already obtained
or expected soon the statutes dealing
with such cases will soon be interpreted
so authoritatively that those seeking to
comply with the law will be relieved
from all uncertainty as to what the law
really is. He says that serious obstacles -
cles have been encountered in enforcing
the statutes and that these may be with
advantage readily removed by further
legislation.
'The United States has had occasion
of late years , and will probably have
occasion in future , " he declared , "to
prosecute criminally many corporations
or other artificial persons. As such of
fenders cannot be physically arrested ,
it is obviously desired that a simple
and convenient form of process shall be
prescribed by law to have the legal ef- '
'
feet of an actual arrest and removal to
the trial district as in the case of a
natural person. "

with an uncle. He went to the house j
about 9 o'clock in the morning and found
the bodies. He said the two children , a

had not been molested. The baby lay in
a crib between the beds occupied by the !
parents. Both of the victims had been
hacked in the face with a hatchet which

HOUSE SLAPS AT ROOSEVELT.
Calls en Him to Tell on What He
Bases Secret Service Charges.
The House of Representatives Thurs
day , by unanimous vote , adopted a resolution
elution requesting the President to sup
ply it with any evidence that may be
in his possession that will justify the
.statement in his last annual message in
relation to the attitude of members of
Congress toward appropriations for the
secret service of the government.
Mr. Perkins , chairman of the special
committee charged to investigate the
allegations made in the President's mes
sage , and John Sharp Williams of Mis
sissippi both stated on the floor that
it was the desire of the special commit
tee to be just toward the President in
allowing him to submit any evidence he
may have , and both declared that the
committee would give it full and im
partial consideration. Mr. Perkins said
the committee would continue in ses
sion , during the Christmas holidays so
that it might receive such evidence from
the President promptly and proceed to
consider it.
Both the resolution and all of the
preamble , except that part of the latter
interpreting the meaning of the Presi
dent's ( message in relation to the secret
service , were adopted unanimously by
a viva voce vote. Mr. Bennett of New
York demanded a division on the pre
amble provision stating the commit
!
tee's interpretation of the President's
strictures upon Congress , but before
the j division was entered upon endeav
ored to withdraw his motion. Mr. Will-

TWO DIE IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Machine ( iocs Into the River lit Mil

An automobile containing three men
dashed into the open draw of the Oneida
srreet bridge in Milwaukee at 1 o'clock
the other morning and wont to the bottom
of the river , carrying two of the occu-
i-ants to their death. A third was res-
( i.od with difficulty and is at the emer
gency hospital. The dead : Oscar Z.

Kunx , chauffeur. A. F. Solliday of the
Solliday Motor Company was rescued.
The car approached the bridge from the
caM. coining down the Oneida street hill
at a high rate of speed. The driver ap
parently did not notice that the bridge
wx open until the car was within twen-
tv feet of it. Kunz then made a frantic
ertort to avoid the river , but only succeed
ed in turning the car as far as the curb ,
where it bounded into the air , turning a
complete somersault between the dock and
the- center pier of the bridge , hurling Mr.

MANY WEEP AT BANK'S DOOBS.
Xnpnlcoii , O. , Institution , Involved
In Insurance Failure , Assigns.
Men cried and women fainted in the
streets of Napoleon , Ohio , when they
found a notice of assignment posted on
the doors of the Citizens' State Bank.
I ) . D. Donovan was named as assignee.
President Heller of the bank is now con
fined in a hospital in a Minnesota town.
The failure is said to be due to overloans
made by Cashier Groll to Judge Michael
Donnell\ % who is president of the Ohio
German Fire Insurance Company , and the
assignment is also said to be the direct
result of the recent failure of that insur
ance company. These loans to Donnelly ,
it is alleged , were made without the au
thority of other officials. The bank is
capitalized at $71.000 and has an undi
vided surplus of $21,000. The deposits
amount to $ S3o.OOO. The bank examiner
objected to an extension of credit to Judge
Donnelly and required the amount to be
made up by the end of this month. The
directors determined to make an assign
ment in order to furnish equal and full
pi election to all the creditors.

Late Secretary of State.
That Adelbert Hay , son of the Into-

husband and father Jit the time of IMS-
death from a fall from a second story
bedroom window , was declared by tho-
mother of Mrs. Mary Ryland I lay
who claims to be young Hay's widow
after her daughter had applied for ; v
marriage license to marry Dr. Arthur
Kraut , a wealthy manufacturing chem
ist of Philadelphia.
Adelbert Hay , she said , eloped from
Washington in August , 1000 , to Atlan
tic City with her daughter , and thex
were there married by th Rev. Will
iam Taylor Snyder of Washington. For
seven years she said , both she and her
daughter have tried unsuccessfully 40
compel the Hay family to admit the
marriage , or at least recognize yonng
Adelbert Hay Jr. as the grandson of"
the former statesman.
Obstacles were thrown in their way
and they were handicapped by poverty.
She accuses Dr. Snyder of withholding
the facts. Her daughter has a recojnfl
