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. ALASKA S. S. CO.

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.
