CASTRO AN "UNDESIRABLE"
Problem of What to Do With Former
Venezuelan Head on Arrival in
U. S. Left to Secretary Nagel.
, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23.~The
coming to Am'erica under the name of
Rulse, of Clprlano Castro, one-time presi-
dent and practically dictator of Vene-
zuela, was today communicated to the
Stato Department from the American am-
bassador In Paris. Tha exile la aboard
the La Touraine, which Is due In New
Yorlt Saturday, and the State Department
is confronted with the disagreeable ques-
tion of what to do with him.
Castro has been kept under surveillance
as much as possible for the last three
years, though now and then he has dis-
appeared from the sight and knowledge
of the State Department.
It is tacitly admitted that If Castro Is
to be kept out of the United States It.
must be done tinder color of the public
health laws and regulations, for there Is
no formal charge against him that would
authorize such action. Therefore, the
decision of the question as to his admis-
sion will he left to the Department of
Commerce and Labor, which Is charged
with the conduct of Immigration.
Officials of that department today said
Castro would be subjected to a rigid In-
vestigation Immediately upon landing, to
determine his admlsslnlllty lo the coun-
try, but no official was prepared today
to say whether the Government, as a
mater of policy, would go to extremes to
keep the Venezuelan out

Rejecting an appeal for immediate ac-
tion on the proposition of D. J. Woodward
and L. Ward to change the course of the
San Antonio River at Bowen's Island, re-
ceiving and adopting the final report of
the Public Utilities Committee with re-
gard to the uew contract soon to be en-
tered into between the city and the San
Antonio Water Supply Company and
closing with mutual felicitations for a
merry Christmas and a happy New Year,
the City Council spent a busy hour aud a
half yesterday afternoon.
Tho Aldermen solved the problem of
laying crosswalks on streets that are jro-
vlded with first-class sidewalks and curb-
iugs by instructing Mayor Jones to add
five carpenters and five helpers to the
city's carpenter staff. A resolution to
this effect was introduced by Alderman
Lipscomb as a substitute for an ordinance
submitted by Chairman Uhr of the Streets
Committee proposing to appropriate $2,500
to lay crosswalks in all parts of the
city.
BLOCK MArS CONSIDERED.
A petition was received from It. J.
Smith proposing to prepare the block
niaps for the Assessor's office ordered at
a recent meeting of tho Council for $5,000-
Mayor Jones said he had received a prop-
osition to prepare the maps for $3,500. It
was decided to have Clerk Fries advertise
for bids, the bids to be opened at tho
next session of the Council, two weeks
hence.
Chairman Fincham of the Fire and Po-
lice Committee announced tho Stivens
investigation had gotten under way r.nd
Informed the Council of the employment
of a court stenographer to tako the testi-
mony In full. The sanction of his col-
leagues to the procedure was given.
Mr. Fincham submitted tho proposed
new building ordlnanco for San Antonio,
which has been In tho course of prepara-
tion for several months. When the new
measure is adopted the Insurance key
rate will be reduced 5 cents. This eroi-
tuiRco has been approved by the Stale
Insurance Board and complies fullv with
the requirements of that body. The cr-
ilinance is similar to the measures now
in force in tho other large cities of the
Stale. Because c>f the length of -he doc-
ument it was decided to call a special
met ting of tho Council to consider its
provisions shortly after the holidays.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
Chairman Uhr of the Streets Commit-
tee submitted a number ef recommenda-
tions for crosswalks and street improve-
ments, all of which were approved.
He asked the Council to allow him ad-
ditional time to Investigate the petition
of a number of West End citizens who
are seeking better fire protection.
BOWEN ISLAND PROPOSITION.
This committee submitted tho petitions
from D. J. Woodward and L. Ward,
which were read at a previous committee
meeting of the Aldermen. Mayor Jones
read over the petitions and referred them
to tho Public Utilities Committee, This
course was objected to by Mr. Woodward,
who was present, on the grounds that if
the Council approved any one if his five
petitions work on the proposed Improve-
ments might continue. A general discus-
sion followed. Tiling of the debate Hid
seeking to have the Council continue 11s
consideration of other matters, Alder-
man Lipscomb moved that the discussion
end. Alderman Wlckeland promptly sec-
onded the motion. The motion oiirrUd.
"It is an Imposition on a business man,"
Mr. Woodward declared heatedly, "If the
Council is not doing business In a busi-
ness way, I apologize.""
CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION.
City Attorney Ryan's opinion on the
proposed change of the course of the
stream was filed with Clerk Fries yes-
terday. It reads:
"Under section 67 of the charter only
the City Council by ordinance has the
right to alter or in any manner change
the. channel of the San Antonio River,
aud then subject to the rights of all per-
sons owning property who would be af-
fected thereby.
"In the specific case mentioned In at-
tached communication, Lafayette Hard
and O. J. Woodward recognize the au-
thority of the city Council as above set
forth and are excavating on their own
properly under permission of City Council
granted Dee. M, l!t!3, with the proviso
that such excavations shall not approach
nearer than twenty feet to the stream on
either side and not. he made In such a
manner as to divert the course or channel
of the river, without consent of the City
Council first ''
Chairman Steves of the Finance Com-
mittee Introduced an ordinance appro-
priating to cover salaries of laborers
employed «• the rock quarry for the first
half of December. This item was left
out of the original Christmas appropria-
tion measure because of the Illness of the
foreman. The rules wefe suspended and
the nnusure was passed without opposi-
tion Next came the reading of Alderman
Lipscomb's report on the water contract.
This completed. Alderman Mauermann
arose and suggested the Council adjourn,
wishing each and all a merry Christmas
and a happy New Year. The motion car-
ried and for a few minutes the city fath-
ers were busy extending to each other the
greetings of the season.

GERMANS OPPOSE DIME NOVELS
Proposed Law Probably Will Be Sul>>
mitted lo Present Parliament.
BERLIN, Dec. 23.—The proposed law
against dime novels and sensational liter-
ature has been received with favor by
the majority of the federated States of
Germany, it probably will he submitted
to die federal council during the present
eesslou of Parliament.
The measure will provide heavy penal-
ization for tho display and sale of tills
kind of literature, as well as for the
confiscation of all copies. The existing
legislation in Germany affects only those
publications which tire offensive, morally
and religiously.
The exquisite
mellowness of

no less than does the undeniable standard of purity
followed in its manufacture to the man who is fastidious
in his taste.
