Formal Protest
of Castro Against
His Expulsion
Former President of Venezuela Says
Action of France Is Violation
, of Law and Eirht.
FORT DEFRANCFJ, Martinique. April 12.
Prior to being taken abond the steamer
Versailles for deportation to France ex
Prehldent Castro pr pared a written pro
test against the action of the Freneh frnv-
ernment, which has been submitted to the
authorities here. It rends ss follows:
"I hereby protest ngalnst the action of
the French authorities of Martinique in
having me put by force on board an out
going vessel: First, because I was III at
the time, and because the act imperiled
I my life; second, because I have committed
J no offense; against the government of
Fmnce and the authorities of Martinique
during the time that I was perm'tted to
remain on that Island; and, finally, be
cause the decree of expulsion which orders
my deportation out of French territory
compels me to take paosage aboard a ves
sel which will again land me on French
territory.
"Moreover, these considerations aside,
the case constitutes a breach of interna
tional law and a denial of the rights of
Individuals. That such a thing should have
come to pass In the land which saw the
birth of Josephine and from which came
the Inspiration of liberty, and at the hands
of a people who shed their blood by tor
rents hardly a cent nay ago to maintain
unimpaired the rights and prerogatives of
man, Is Inconceivable."
Tho ex-presldent sold. Just before the
sailing of the Versailles, that If he was at
liberty when he arrived at St Naialre he
would Immediately proceed to Spain In
order to take passage for Santa Crux,
Tenerlffe. General Casto said that he was
leaving his brother Carmelo here for the
purpose of receiving mall which he ex
pects to be forwarded from Trinidad and
Venezuela. t
Tho Versailles will stop at Basaotterr
and Polnt-A-Pltre.. Guadeloupe. Hardly
had the steamer left port last night when
a party of friends arrived on the steamer
Goelette from 8alnt Lucia. They were
very much surprised that the former pres
ident had been expelled frcm 'the Island
and had a long talk with Castro's brother.
Purpose of France.
PARIS, April 12. The return of Castro
is not regarded here as of great impor
tance, the principal object of the French
government being to prevent the use of
French territory as the headquarters for
a revolutionary movement and a campaign
by Castro to recapture his lost power in
Venesuela. There will be no opposition
made to his landing, or even his remain
ing in France, provided he lives peace
ably. It is regarded, however, as more likely
that Castro will disembark at Sanlander,
where he will try to charter a ship.
COPENHAGEN. April 11. -The govern
ment has Instructed the governor of the
DaniBh West Indies under no circumstances
to permit ex-President Castro to land in
that territory. These Instructions were
issued In response to a cablegram from tha
colonial 'officials Inquiring as to what
measures were to be taken In the event of
Castro's attempting to take up his resi
dence at any of those ports.

VOICE OF NIAGARA IS MUTE

Mronar W ind From Lake Krle
f'aaaea Rise of Klft
three Feet.
BU FFALO, N. Y., April li-The voice of
Niagara was mute today for the second
time In the memory of man. The river la
frozen from bank to bank.
On Wednesday the worst gale of the sea
son was recorded. The solid Icefields of
Lake Erie were churned from end to end
and piled In a huge mass at the lower end
of the lake.
At Niagara Falls there had been a heavy
Ice bridge in the pool below the cataract
since the middle of winter. Under the Im
pact of the mass of Ice from the lake above
and the added floes brought through by
the wind, the bridge gave way and began
to surge down the rapids. But before It
could win freedom in the ample waters of
TJake On'ario the wind shifted to the
north. Instantly the moving floes packed
at the mouth of the river. Each Instant
of cold congealed the pack more solid, and
each hour brought added pressure from
above.
Unable to escape by Its natural channels
the level of the rive rose by leaps aqd
bounds. The highest level recorded from
previous years is twenty-eight feet above
the normal. Friday night the river was
forty-three feet above normal.
Water poured over the wlndowsills of the
powerhouse of the Ontario Power company
and flooded the machines. The tracks of
the Great Gorge Route were covered from
the lower steel arch bridge to Lewlston.
Conservstlve estimates place the damage
at Sl.000.000. All day long a constant stream
of visitors poured down the railway tracks,
the trolley tracks, packed the trains and
cars and even rode and walked cross coun
try to see a sight that is not likely to re
peat Itself within the present generation.
Under a brilliant sun the river lay white
and glistening to the horizon.

Case of Bankers
Against Express
Companies
Interstate Commerce to Hear Evi
dence of Suit in Chicago
April 20.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-A case of un
usual Importance will be heard in Chicago
on April 3R, by representatives of the In
terstate Commerce commission. It being
that of the American Bankers' association
against various express companies, in
which the companies are alleged to proctlce
discrimination ng-alnst bunkers In the trans
portation of money.
A year or more ago the Bankers' asso
ciation filed a complaint In a tentative
way with the Interstate Commerce commis
sion with a view to forcing the express
companies to cease their business of dealing
In money orders, bills of exchange, foreign
and domestic letters of credit, drafts snd
similar evidences of money. Tho allegation
was made tltat the express companies not
only were authorised under the law to do
a banking business, but thst they discrimin
ated against bankers and hanking Institu
tions to an unlawful extent.
The complaint was examined Informally
by the commission, and conferences were
held with the commission by officials cf
the American Bankers' association. As a
result the complaint, In its original form,
was not pressed, It being evident that the
commission would promulgate no order
compelling the express companies to cease
their business of exchanging credits.
Subsequently, another complaint was
filed. Its principal allegation is that the
express companies unlawfully discriminate
against regular bankers In the handling and
shipment of money and credits. The com
panies are the American, Adams, United
States Wells-Fargo and Southern Pacific
Express companies. The trial promises to
be highly Important. Enormous amounts
of cash and securities and evidences of
credit are handled annually by the express
companies, and If, as Is maintained by the
bankers, It can be shown that they do dis
criminate against regular banking Institu
tions, a drastic order is likely to Issue from
the commission.
Another Extra
Session in Texas
Governor Campbell Scores Members
of Legislature for Failure
Keep Platform Pledges.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 12. Upon the ex
piration of tiie first called session of the
legislature today, Governor Campbell called
the lawmakers to meet tomorrow for a
second special session, submitting as legis
lation tho matter of appropriations for the
state government for the next two years
and the enactment of a law for the protec
tion of bank deposits. In a special mes
sage to the legislature the governor scored
the legislature for failure to enact platform
demands.
"Your regular session of sixty days was
expensive and of little value to the people,"
says the governor. 'Not a single platform
demand was enacted Into law; one was de
feated, and you . adjourned without even
considering the appropriation bill whereby
the lobby applauded,' and it is not strange
that yeu received through the newspapers
the felicitations a(,,,th chairman of the
lepublican executive. .committee of this
state. ; , '.'
"Although your, honorable bodies have
been in continuous regular and called ses
sions slnca January 13, It can hardly be
denied that everything that has been done
In the way of legislation by the regular
called session could have been done in ten
days, and then the appropriation bill could
have been considered and passed.4'

EASTER SUNDAY IN NEW YORK
Fashionable Avenues Are Gay With
Light Colored Gowns.
ANSWER TO RABBI. HIRSCH
Jewish Ortcanlxat Ions Defy Illin to
Prove That Immigration of
Itnaalan Jews Should
II Prevented.
NEW YORK, April 12. Blue skies and
crisp winds attended the Easter celebration
and pageant here yesterday.
In spite of the rawness of the air, which
made harazrdous the wearing of the dia
phanous frills that custom decreees must
be worn this season, Fifth avenue, Itiver
sMe drive and Central park were gay with
light colored dresses and shiny top hats
from eirly afternoon until dark.
Thanks to a brilliant sun, which helled
the real condition of the outdoor weather,
midsummer toilettes did not appear as out
of place as they felt, and a chill being as
nothing compared with the ecstacy of dis
playing new gowns, many were the festive
and flimsy costumes in evidence.
As usual, the parade took to the fash
ionable highways Immediately after the
midday church services. Fifth avenue, its
glory somewhat dimmed by the recent and
growing popularity of Upper Broadway
and Riverside Drive as a haunt of swell
dom, still held the largest and most decor
ative crowds. The procession flowed slowly
on both sides of a living stream of dazzling
autos and harness clinking victorias and
other horse-drawn equippages. Jn the
churches the celebration was no less bril
liant. Ana -er to Itahbl lllrach.
The Federation of Jewish Organizations
of the State of New York today threw down
the gauntlet to Rabbi Emll G. Hirsch of
Sinai temple, Chicago, defying him to prove
that the Immigration of Russian Jews to
tilts country ought to be prevented.
The remarks that offended them were
delivered in a Kcrinon on March T, and as
reported were:
"Another needed prevention Is trie move
ment to keep the Russian Jews and other
poor, ignorant immigrants from flocking
to this country. Russia should be forced
by an awakening of the whole world to
give these people an opportunity for edu
cation. If they must emigrate let them go
to Mesopotamia, the land near Palestine,
where a community of their own people Is
to be formed."
Tho federation, on whose advisory board
are such men as Edward Lelterbuch, Coi
oner Julius Barburger. Supreme Court Jus
tices Erlunger and Grecnhaum and Judge
Ronlsky, offer to pay Dr. Hlrscn's ex
penses to New York, or any pluee else, that
he may meet Russian Jews In debate and
prove. If he can, that the immigration of
Russian Jews to this country ought to be
prevented.

Psychology of Violence.
Emma Goldman, the anarchist, addressed
a large and enthusiastic audience of her
followers at Lyric hall today. Her subject
was "Psychology of Violence." Mrs. Gold
man's remarks were entirely temperate
and the meeting was orderly.
Mrs. Goldman denied that she is respon
sible for the various acts of violence com
mitted by over-xealous anarchists.
She told her audience that many parsons,
knowing her to be opposed to violence,
had asked her why she did not denounce
those of her cult who advocated resorting
to forcible means of impressing upon
"tyrannical rule" their determination to
Improve the lot of man.
"I cannot condemn these people," she
said. "They are merely human beings who
have convinced themselves, through their
own psychology, that It .Is their duty to
help their fellow men even at the cost
of human life."
Jansen Wins Marathon Rare.
Harry Jansen of the Pastime Athletic
club won a Marathon race at Celtic park,
Long Island City today. In which seven
teen amfateurs comieted. His time was
2:47:17.
Just before the race a riot was precipi
tated among the 6.000 spectators, who
threatened harm to Charles Haas, a special
policeman, who had shot and dangerously
injured Thomas B. Daly, a 14-year-old boy,
who tried to smuggle his way Into the
grounds by climbing the fence. The crowd
chased the policeman a quarter of a" mile.
He took refuge In a house and was rescued
from the besiegers by the police, who took
him In custody.
Fifty English Immigrants, unable to ob
tain employment in England, arrived here
today on the American line steamship St.
Paul. . Leonard S. Reading, spokesman for
the party, said:
"We are all good mechanics and as a rule
get along best In our native land, but there
Is no work for us to do there and we have
to come to America to become citizens.
We cannot pupport our families In Eng
land and we think wc have In us the ability
to do that here." "
The party 1 bound for the middle west.

Roosevelt Party
Makes Short Stop
in City of Suez
Former President Again Denies Air
thenticity of Alleged Interview
in Paris Paper.
SUEZ. April 12.-The steamer Admlial
with ex-President Roosevelt on board,
which parsed out of th? canal about 10
o'clock last night, made a brief stop at
Sues, then proceeded down the Red sea.
The Admiral will make stops at Aden and
Mogadiscio, on the east coast . of Italian
Bomaliland.
During the trip through, the canal the
Admiral slowed up to permit a party to
land at Ismallia, which Is about half way
between tho Red and Mediterranean seas.
The landing; party consisted of Kermlt
Roosevelt, Major Mearnes. Edmund Holler;
zoologist, and J. Alden Iyorlng. Their in
tention was to make a collection of bird
specimens and proceed to Suez by train.
Mr. Roosevelt took occasion to deny ve
hemently an alleged Interview with htm
which appeared n the Paris Journal, say
ing: "I have not seen any representative
of that paper and have made no statement
to the press except that given out at Mes
sina." During the voyagr through the canal thu
Admiral passed the City of Paris, from
Kurachee, crowded with British passen
gers. These massed on the steamer's decks
snd cheered the cx-president enthusiasti
cally. A largo Teddy bear occupied a place
on l lie bridge deck. Mr. Roosevelt an
swered the cheers by waving his hat ard
ently. He seemed to enjoy the experience
very much.
Mklrt Hint.
A satisfactory way to wash clean the bot
tom of both white and colored linen or duck
skirts Is to pull hem open crossways, lay
portion on washlxiard, and scrub with ordi
nary nail or hand brush. This thoroughly
cleans the dark line on edge of hem. which
is usually the hardest part of the skirt to
wash.
