CASTRO SAYS HE
IS ONLY A VISITOR
Here As a Tourist and Not To Meddle
in International Politics.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18. ? Cipriano
Castro, who is held for deportation
at the Government immigration sta
tion at Ellis Island, in a statement
made yesterday says that on Dec. 31,
the day he arrived, he says he was
taken to the executive offices of the
island, where he asked Inspector
.Moore why he he was being detained.
Castro says he was given no satis
factory answer, but was then led
through various corridors and rooms
to another office, where he was exam
ined by Moore through an interpreter.
Castro says he was sworn and then
asked his age, business, destination in
the United States and the purpose of
the visit. He states that he was then
questioned about the affairs of the
French Cable Company and the Elec
trict Light Company, both of Vene
zuela.
He declares questions about his per
' sonal afTairs he answered fully, but
told the inspector he did not think
he should be required to answer quer
ies about the Venezuelan companies.
Finally he announced he would not
seek to enter the country, because of
the annoyances to which he was being
subjected. He was then told he would
have to remain on Ellis Island until
he sailed.
"My present quarters," he says,
consist of a single room, without
bath. 8x12, and I both eat and sleep
in one room. Outside the door is a
guard both day and night.
"My courier was immediately ad
mitted to the United States."
Castro states that he wished to vis
it the United States merely as a tour
ist and has no intention of engaging
1 in international politics while here.
JOSEPH R. WILSON
FOR U. S. SENATOR
Brother of President-elect Senator
Wilson a Newspaper Man.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 18.? The
deadlock In the legislature over the
election of a United StateB Senator
has brought out much discussion
among politicians and members of the
legislature of the possibility of unit
ing upon Joseph R. Wilson, brother
of President-elect Woodrow Wilson, as
a compromise. The President-elect's
brother is not a candidate, and the
suggestion that all factions might
unite on him was made entirely with
out his knowledge or authorization.
Joe Wilson, as his friends all call
him, is city editor of the Nashville
Banner. He Is one of the political
reporters in the South, and during
his reportorial days and since he has
enjoyed the confidence and respect
of Tennessee's political leaders.
At a recent banquet given in his
honor by the Nashville Board of
Trade and the Nashville Press Club
a fellow newspaper man from New
York first publicly suggested the pro
priety of Mr. Wilson's involuntary
candidacy as the best solution of a
possible deadlock. The speaker told
of the trying position in which "Little
Brother" had been placed in New
York, where he was forced by circum
stances to measure up with the big
gest men of the Democratic party,
and how he had astonished his hear
ers at the public dinner where he was
called upon to exhibit his oratorical
ability in competition with Woodrow
Wilson's. The younger Wilson, al
though lacking experience as a cam
paigner, is a ready and convincing
speaker.
The principal difficulty Mr. Wilson's
friends are meeting is the fact that
the members of the Legislature were
commltteed to one or another of the
numerous avowed candidates before
his name was mentioned. But if a
deadlock offers an opportunity to end
the bitter factional strife by uniting
on Wilson, Tennessee may add an
other to the roster of editors it has
sent to Washington.

MISTAKES CALIFORNIAN
FOR POLICE CHIEF
Patrolman and Gendarmes Bow Low
to Stockwell, the "Double" of
Prefect Levlne.
PARIS, Jan. 18.?When H. E. Stock
well, of the Los Angeles, Calif. Ex
press, alighted at Paris the other day
from a train he was astonished at be
ing obsequisously saluted by all the
railway employees.
His astonishment grew as he walked
away from the station followed, at
tended and preceded by knee-bend
ings on the part of every patrolman
and gendarme.
His amazement knew no bounds
when he passed the police headquar
ters and found there a company of
patrolmen lined up at attention.
He had been mistaken for M. Le
pine, the Prefect of Police, to whom he
bears a striking resemblance.
Wherever he goes in Paris Lepine's
"double" gets all the attention due
to the Prefect himself.
