The sudden and unexpected appearance in Venezuela of General Clprlano Castro to take per eonol command of the revolutionary forces confronts the State department with a grave problem. Secretary Bryan declined today to say what would, be the attitude of the United States toward the presence of the unwelcome exile In the land from which ho was banished flvo j ears ago. The Taft administration not only ap proved of Castro's exile from Venezuela, but sought by every means, although- without success, to prevent Mm from landing In this country last winter. Of ficials realize that Castro's persqnu.1 ill rectlon of the Insurrection will make the movement far more formidable. Tho cruiser Des Moines will leave Brunswick, Go., Monday for Ia Gualra, expecting to reach that port Friday, Henry F. Tennant of the State depart ment, who is going to Caracas to take charge of tho legation pending the ap pointment of a new minister, will leave Washington tonight and will proceed to Venezuela on tho Des Moines.

"The crazy and ferocious Gomez bears on his forehead the eternal mark of a traitor, His brutal look and his per fidious smile encourage his followers to finish the ruin of the fatherland. "Heroic Venezuela acclaims .me again to revindicate its rights. "I am a slave to honor and duty and 1 accept tho honor. ' "My program In regard to domestic af fairs Is to save my country from threat ening anarchy and my foreign policy is to Join hnnds with civilization und prog ress on tho basis of equity ond justice.

Heseue Work Slow. There was an amplo force of workmen at the opening to push tho work of rescue, but because of the. deadly after damp work was necessarily slow until tho mlno rescue car arrived from I'otts vlllo with Its apparatus. Because of the dull season and light demand for anthracite coal the Heading's mines are operated only three or four days a week, and the Eust Brooksldo colliery closed down Thursday for the week. Charles Portland, a mining con tractor of PottBVllle, was engaged In driving a tunnel through the rock at tho East Brookslde working. Tho opening to tills mine is by means of a olmft. A gangway leads from the bottom of the shaft and the funnel Is being driven from the gangway. It was in this tun nel that rockmen were working. It Is supposed that a big charge of dynamite was exploded which probably created fearful havoc and loss of life. Alnrm Sent to Surface. An alarm was sent to the surface and Superintendent Lorens, Colliery Boss Farreil, Fire Boss McGlnley and Fire Boss Schoffstall, with several others, entered the mlno to superintend tho work of rescue. Tho rescue party had just about reached .the bottom of the shaft when the second eXDloslon oreuried. .Thm anonnrt nxtiloalon "vasTln The gangway and was of mine gas. When the dynamite biast occurred in the tunnel, it released a large pocket of gas which was Ignited- by a ' naked lamp before Its presence was detected. Tho force, of the gas explosion was even greater than that of tho dynamite. Mine timbers wers torn down, largo sections of the roof of the gangway fell and prac tically the entire Interior was wrecked. Believes None Allxe. Fire Boss Schoffstall, who was one of tho thrco men brought out alive said thero were about twenty-three men In the mine and about a half dozen more went down after the first explosion. He did not believe that any men In tho mine aro alive. Word was sent to PottBVllle to the hind quarters of tho company nnt - 'leneral Manager w. G. Richards, Division Super intendent E. H. Kaercher, and other of ficials of the company responded promptly. The mine rescue car was also rushed from Pottsvllle with oxygen hel mets and other equipment. The fltut aid rescue corps were sum moned from collieries In the western end of the county and available mine am- ouiances were ordered.

While the Jew els worn by tho EOO guests were beyond estimate of value, ono of the matrons thought It a conservative appraisal to say that thoy were probably worth $12,000,000. In many cases the Bummer colonists sent armed men to get their Jewels from tafety deposit vaults In which the own ers had deposited them Bltice the recent robberies and the Fish estate was sur rounded by a cordon of police, with a captain In charge, and scores of nlaln clothes man mingled among the guests during tho night's festivities.

Mr. English says that slnco confirma tion of the sale all the receiver's certifi cates, with Interest, have been paid.

As somo of these have precedence over tho bonds, It Is not possible at present to say how many cents on the dollar of the bond Issues will, be paid. This adjudication will likely be made within the next thirty days, according to Receiver English, and thirty days after he believes will clean up the 'business of distributing the pro ceeds of the receiver's sale.

This is tho law that Is to gov ern th shipment of Intoxicating liquor In Interstate shipments. Under It tho wholesolo liquor people will liavo to ex ercise moro caro In making deliveries Into dry territory. Contrary to tho popular opinion of tho bill at tho time It was passed, It does not malto It on offonso necessarily 'o ship liquor into dry states, but is effective only In so far as that liquor Is to be sold In violation of any laws of said states. Such shipments between tho states aro prohibited. That means wholo- sato liquor dealers of states adjoining will havo to bo careful in shipping large quantities IntoTa dry state. It the ship ment la largo It Is apt to bo taken for granted by the authorities that such a largo shipment Is coming In to bo sold or used in violation of tho laws.

Thus, although this Is a federal act, tho federal department of jtistlco will make no arrests ond try no casos under it, but the state courts will take tho mat ter up und deal with It In accordance with the laws they have.

Looking Out For the Main Chance No matter what theorists may say about the pursuits and pleasures ot mankind, thero is one hard, Incontro vertible fact that we must admit; We are looking out for the main chance Have you ever stopped to think what the "main chance" Is7 It Is the op portunity to make and to spend money to our own greatest advantage; It Is the greatest mistake to be lieve a man rich because ho has a good slied Income; he may be poorer than the man with half the amount A man's financial Btatus should be judged not by what he makes, but by the relative amounts of his Income and his expenditures. Have you ever thought that with an income of two thousand a year you may be better off at tha end of five years than tho man with five thous and? It la all a question of how wlseli and how well you use what you have that produces the ultimate result. If you feel that you havo not been quite as careful as you should be in your expenditures, make a practice ot reading TUB BHE advertisements and you will see where many a dol lar may be saved by buying at the right time and place.
