CASTRO OBJECTS
TO DEPORTATION
Says It Is Inconceivable That Land
Which Saw Birth of Josephine
Should Be Guilty of Such
Conduct
FORT DF, FRANCE, Martinique,
April 11.—Prior to being taken forcibly
aboard the steamer Versailles for de
portation to France, former President
Castro prepared a protest against the
action of the French government. It
"I hereby protest against the action
<f the French authorities of Martin
ique In having me put, by force, on
board an outgoing vessel.
"First, because I was ill at the time
and because the act Imperiled my life;
second, because I have committed no
offense against the g-overnment of
France and the authorities of Marti
nique, and finally, because the decree of
expulsion which orders my deportation
out of French territory compels me to
take passage aboard a vessel which
will again land me on French territory.
"The case constitutes a breach of in
ternational law and a denial of tho
rights of Individuals. That such a
thing should have come t° pass In the
land that saw the birth of Josephine
and from which comes the inspiration
and prestige of liberty, and at the
hands of a people who shed their blood
in torrents, hardly a century ago, to
maintain unimpaired the rights and
prerogatives of men, is Inconceivable."
Castro safd that if he were at liberty
when ho arrived at St. Nazalre he
would immediately proceed to Spain in
order to take passage for Santa Cruz,
Tenerlffe. The Versailles will stop at
Basne Terre and Point-a-Pitre, Guade
loupe. Hardly had the steamer left
port when a party of Castro's friends
arrived on the steamer Goelette from
Saint Lusia. They were surprised he
had been expelled.
The removal pf Castro to the,steamer
was not without Its pitiful aspect.
Immediately on the announcement by a
medical commission that he was quite
capable of making the voyage, the com
missary of police, with an escort of
gendarmes, Invaded the hotel. They
found Castro lying In bed. and, al
though he stiil protested that he could
not move, they carried him down stairs,
the patient all the while moaning dls
mully, on a mattress and placed him
on a stretcher.
Officers from the American cruiser
North Carolina, in civilian dress, helped
to make him as comfortable as possi
ble, and then the stretcher was picked
up by four negroes and taken to the
steamer dock. Gendarmes guarded it
on either side and fully 2000 persons fol
lowed the procession.
The entrance to the French line pier
was guarded by police and no one was
permitted to enter, except those direct
ly concerned.
Some difficulty was experienced in
hoisting the litter aboard, and for a
moment Castro was in peril of falling
out. The stretcher was set down in
one of the cabins and Castro at once
declared that the room was too small
und demanded that he be transferred
to another cubln. He was promised
that a change would be made.

MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 190J).
MAJOR STANTON,
NOTED ENGINEER,
KILLS HIMSELF
SENDS BULLET INTO BRAIN AT
HOSPITAL
HAD BEEN GIVEN WARNING OF
IMPENDING DEATH
Cams Recently from Goldfield to Ob.
tain Medical Treatment, Being
Afflicted with Heart
Disease
DESPONDENT because ho realized
that ho had only a short time to
" live and dreading the suspense
that made each minute a period of
torture, MaJ. W. A. Stanton, 60 years
old, a mining engineer of Goldfleld,
Nev., formerly chief of the Salt Lake
fire department, and an army officer,
nent a bullet Into his brain at the]
California hospital shortly after »
o'clock yesterday morning. »
Stanton came to Los Angeles from
Ooldfleld six weeks ago and took a
private room at the California hospital,
where he was treated for an aggravat
ed case of heart disease by Bis. Rae
Smith and Charles W. Anderson. Ho
was accompanied by his wife, who
remained here several days but re
turned to Goldfleld wften Stanton s
condition began to show improve-
A week ago Stanton began to grow
worse and Mrs. Stanton was sum
moned to his bedside, where she re
mained a greater part of the time.
Friday Drs. Smith and Anderson
made a thorough examination of the
patient, and, after a consultation, Dr.
Anderson informed the wife that Stan
ton was In a critical condition and
that it would be well for htm to
straighten all his business matters
and prepare for the end.
Mrs. Stanton broke the news to her
husband and Stanton arranged to have
an attorney visit him Sunday and put
his affairs In good shape. He worried
considerably about his condition, but
never intimated that he would end
' Yesterday morning Stanton sent the
special nurse out of the room to find
Dr Smith, who was in another ward
in the building. The nurse had not gone
ten feet from the room when the report
of a pistol rang out.
Dr Dudley Fulton was standing in
the hallway a short distance from the
room occupied by Stanton. He heard
the shot and rushed into the room, en
tering ahead of the nurse, who had
started back to her patient.
"I found Stanton lying against the
door and the blood was pouring from
his ears, mouth and nose," said Dr.
Fulton In describing the affair. "A pool
of blood had formed on the floor. I
turned him on one side and felt nls
pulse. He was dead. The revolver was
lvlng under his feet and he evidently
had stood near the door, placed the
muzzle.of the weapon in his mouth and
pulled the trigger.
"Stanton had his trunk, suitcase and
other personal effects In the room. He
unquestionably had taken his revolver
from a grip, which was partly open,
the moment the nurse left the room.'
Dr. Rae Smith reached the room
shortly after the body was. found. He
was followed by others who had heard
the sharp report of the pistol.
The coroner was notified and permis
sion was given the hospital authorities
to move the body from its position on
the floor and^allow the attendants to
clean the room.
Widow Learns of Death
Orr & Edwards, undertakers, were
ordered to remove the body trf their
establishment. Meantime Mrs. Stan
ton had been notified of the tragic
death of her husband. She did not
visit the hospital, but went to the un
dertaking establishment of Pierce
Brothers and made arrangements to
have the body taken there, not know
ing that its removal by another firm
had been ordered by the coroner. Later
the matter was straightened out and
she consented to its removal to Orr &
Edwards' parlors.
Strong efforts to suppress the news
of the suicide were made by the hos
pital authorities, and little information
concerning the case was given out by
the clerk, who said he was in charge
of the Institution during the absence in
Europe of Dr. Lindley, superintendent
of the hospital.
"Major Stanton came to Los Angeles
six weeks ago from Goldfleld," said Dr.
Anderson. "His condition was serious
and he soon realized that he was fight
ing a one-sided battle with the odds
against him. Friday I told Mrs. Stan
ton that her husband had best prepare
to settle all his business affairs, as the
end might come at any time. She
spoke to him about it and it was ar
ranged to have an attorney go to the
hospital Sunday and fix up his business
matters.
"He did not intimate that he would
end his life, although he was consider
ably depressed when he learned that he
had but a short time to live."
The clerk In charge at the California
hospital was extremely reluctant about
discussing the suicide. He refused to
allow newspaper representatives to
view the body and the Interior of the
room, "unless on an order from the
coroner and accompanied by an at
torney representing the widow.'.'
The body was taken to the undertak
ing parlors last night and shortly
after Its arrival Mrs. Stanton ap
peared and selected a casket. She did
not make arrangements for the fu
neral. It is thought these arrange
ments will not be made until the son
and daughter, both of whom live In
Salt Lake City, are heard from.
Major Stanton was among the best
known of the early residents of Gold
fleld. Ho went there from Salt Lake
soon after the sale of the Combination
mine, which marked the beginning of
the phenomenal prosperity of the
camp.
He opened an office immediately as
a mining engineer, and during the ex
citing days that followed figured prom
inently In a number of Important ven
tures which have become famous in
the camp's history.
Decedent was one of the founders of
the Montezuma club and was promi
nent in that organization during the
entire term of his residence in Gold
fleld. He was a member of the mine
owners' committee wfiich led the fight
against the labor unions, culminating
In the conflict of January, 1907.
Among' the best known of the min
ing concerns With which Major Stantor.
wab connected was the Florence Mill
ing and Mining company, which he
served for two years as consulting en
gineer.

CHALLENGES HIRSCH
RABBI SAYS RUSSIAN JEWS
SHOULD NOT EMIGRATE
Organization Offers to Pay Expense*
So Preacher May Meet Immi

tion, if Possible
NEW YORK, April 11.—The Federa
tion of Jewish Organizations of New
York state threw down the gauntlet to
day to Rabbi Emll G. Hirsch of Sinai
temple, Chicago, defying him to prove
that the immigration of Hebrews from
Russia to this country should be pre
vented.
The remarks that offended them were
delivered in a sermon March 7, and as
reported are:
"Another needed prevention is the
movement 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 education. If they
must emigrate let them go to Mesopo
tamia, the land near Palestine, where
a community of their own people is to
be formed."
The federation, the officers of which
are such men as Edward Lauterbach,
Coroner Judas Harburger, Justice Er
lenger, Justice Greenbaum and Judge
Rosalsky, offer to pay Dr. Hirsch's ex
penses to New York or to any place else
that he may meet Russian Jews In de
bate and to prove, if he can, his con
tention.

Morley came to Denver six weeks ago
to be treated for tuberculosis. He is
said to have had $27,000 in cash with
him when he arrived. A local physician
notified the police that he applied for
treatment, and said he believed ho was
being drugged by some one who would
profit by his death.
He has been traced to the Military
hospital at Fort Logan, but has not
been seen since he left that Institution
a month ago.
The police have been informed that
Morley died at Fort Morgan, but the
records at that place do not confirm
this rumor, although diligent as made.

Joker
[By Associated Press.] :,
WASHINGTON, April; , 11.— The
Payne tariff bill as amended by
the senate committee on finance
was sent to the public printer late to
night and will be ready (or presenta
tion to the full committee tomorrow..
An effort will be made to Induce the
minority to consent to the reporting of
the bill to the senate tomorrow; in '
which event it will be allowed to go
over until Thursday, when Chairman
Aldrich will make a detailed explana
tion of Its provisions. . , .'•
Senate leaders would not predict to-
Aiy how much time is likely to be oc
cupied in the discussion. A large num- ,
ber of important Items are to be sub
mitted to the senate without recom
mendation, the purpose being to con
vince the senate and the country, that
the committee has not arbitrarily , ■ as
sumed the power to: make the tariff
bill.
Senator Aldrich asserted tonight that
75 per cent of the articles used by all
the people had been reduced and that '
the free list had been lengthened to an
extent that would be surprising to
everybody. :'- •;■';'■'
The committee members have ' tried
to make their recommendations popu
lar, , and they predicted tonight that
their efforts would be appreciated.
Reduce Some Duties, Raise Others
In placing a large number of articles
on the free list and in reducing the du
ties on many others, It has been found
necessary to increase materially thu
duties on many articles in order to
produce necessary revenues.
The Payne bill increased materially
the rates on brandy, alcohol, gin,
grain, spirits, cordials and liquors, but
made virtually no increase on cham
pagnes. The senate committee has de
cided upon an increase amounting to
about 25 per cent above existing rates
ion wines of all kinds.
A number of other articles regarded
as luxuries have been increased, and
the tariff experts feel confident the
bill will produce as much revenue as is
needed.
All of the Increases on perfumes airl
toilet articles provided by the Payna
bill will be reported.
In addition to placing tea and coffee
on the .free list the committee pro
poses to admit cocoa free. An especial
effort was made to reduce rates on the
so-called "breakfast table" articles of
commerce.
It was reported today that another
effort will be made in the senate to
have a duty placed on coffee in behalf
of the coffee syndicate, which is alleged
to have a large number of bags of Bra
zilian product hoarded in this country.
Against Free Lumber
The senate stands about two to one
! against free lumber, and its advocates
fear they will not be able to maintain
the reduction agreed on by the house.
The fight for free hides has been be
gun already. Western senators aro
confident a duty will be placed on
hides, but are not sanguine of making
the existing 15 per cent.
Tobacco interests failed in their ef
forts to induce the committee to re
duce the amount of Philippine tobacco
to be admitted annually free of duty,
and to get an increase in the rates on
tobacco from other countries.
The Payne rates on pottery and fine
china have been agreed to, in spite of
the demands of American manufactux'
ers, supported by speeches made by
President Taft in his campaign that
further protection was needed by
them.
No attention was paid today by tho
senate committee to the so-called "oil
joker" in the Payne bill as it passed
the house. Petroleum and its products
are among the articles to be reported
to the senate without recommenda-
tion.
The estimates of the revenue -which
the Payne tariff bill will produce have
been reduced nearly $20,000,000 through
the amendments made by the house.
The senate finance committee must
provide means for making up this dif
ference if the original estimates are to
be met.
The striking out of several counter
vailing duty clauses will lessen the
bill's productiveness another $20,000,000.
The amendment taking off the 8-cent
duty on tea subtracted $7,000,000 from
tho estimated revenues. The striking
out of the countervailing duty on cof
fee removes what probably would have
provided $15,000,000 in duties.
Taking out the countervailing pro
viso for lumber and for petroleum
means a lost opportunity to Increase
the revenues by several million dollars.
It is estimated.
The senate finance committee ma
terially reduced many of the Dingley
bill's schedules as it passed the house,
but in order to increase the revenue
producing power of the Payne bill tho
committee must take different action
with regard to the latter measure.
In 1897 the senate committee placed
a duty of V,i cents per pound on hides,
which was changed later to 15, but tho
Payne bill, as it passed the house,
places hides on the free list. Under
the Dingley law hides have produced
more than $3,000,000 revenue annually.
Many Changes Made
Thore are many changes in tho Payne
bill from the provisions of the Dingley
law. H.s maximum and minimum re
taliatory feature, the additional method
of valuation for the purpose of pre
venting undervaluations and its pro
visions for the $40,000,000 issuance of
Panama bonds and a $250,000,000 issue
of treasury certificates are new.
It extends the drawback privileges so
that domestic raw material m«y be
used in lieu of imported material for
the purpose of collecting, a drawback,
provided an equal amount of identical
imported raw material is manufactured
into the same product on -which the
drawback is collected.
An Inheritance tax, by which It Is
hoped $20,000,000 will be collected, is
provided.
The two Increases that stand out
most prominently are those in women's
and children's gloves and hosiery.
