CASTRO mt st KEEP OUT.
Special Hoard of Inquiry Holds Cas?
tro Guilty of Perjury and Suspects
Him of Worse.
New York, Jan. 1">.?Gen. Don Ci?
priani) Castro, former president of
Venesuela, who has been detained at
Ellli [aland by the immigration otti
clali for more than twu weeks, today
was denied admission to the United
states by a special hoard of Inquiry,
on the ground that in his examination
he had admitted "the commission of
a crime and felony involving moral
turpitude."
In a Statement issued by Mr. Wil?
li uns. commissioner of Immigration,
giving the first explanation for the
detention of Castro and setting forth
the findings of the board) it is charged
that the former president of Venesuela
"has committed frequent perjury by
pretending to be ignorant of matters
concerning which a man of his Intel?
llgence and holding the position which
he did undoubtedly possesses knowl?
edge."
Immediately after the announce?
ment that he would not be permitted
to enter tin- country, Castro declared
he WOUld appe al to the secretary of
commerce ami labor. Harold A. Con?
tent, ac ting for George Gordon Battle,
Castro's attorney, said that in event
of Secretary Nagel upholding the find?
ing! of the hoard, the case would he
taken Into the (aun ts.
Citing specific parts of Castro's ex?
amination the statement of the board
says:
"Speaking of Louis Varcla, who
sent him frequent telegrams in regard
to the capture' and death of Gen. An?
tonio Paradee, he says: 'Do not know
Who he is.' We consider him an un
rellable witness. Hll testimony to
the effect that no foreigners suffered
loss of property through his action
during the years when he was presi?
dent we decline to believe. His refu?
sal to reply to many questions put to
him bearing upon hli right to land
convinces us that there are damaging
faCtl which he desires to conceal."
The statement continues with the
declaration that upon Information
from official sources he was charged
with responsibility for the unlawful
killing of Paraden, but declined re?
peatedly to offer any information or
to give the government any informa?
tion in regard to the lattei's death.
He refused either to affirm or deny
his guilt, even after he had been
warned that unfavorable inferences
would be drawn from stich refusal
and that he must take the conse?
quences.
?"Such refusal," the statement says,
"together with his manner and de?
meanor when asked concerning these
matters, constitute, in our opinion, an
admission of the truth of the charge.
He is, therefore, excluded on the
groutfd that ha has admitted the
commission cd' a crime and felony In?
volving moral turpitude."
In conclusion the statement says
thai Gen. <'astro may appeal from
the finding of tin- hoard of special in
qulry through the- commissioner ?d the
Immigration to the secre tary of com?
merce and labor and adds that "he
signified his intention of so doing."
The next move- In the case will be
to tile an appeal to Secretary Nagel.
Mi. Battle, his assistant said,
would begin the appeal at once,

Wednesday afternoon the baggage

railroad passenger station was able to
move back into the baggage room,
after being out for nearly two weeks
following the lire which destroyed all
? f the baggage in the room and
burned the root* off that part of the

colored waiting room has been used
as a baggage room.
The damage done by the lire has
been practically all repaired, except
for the painting of the new ceiling
which was put in. The painters are
now ready to begin work on this and
the baggage room in a few days will
be as good as it ever was.

mission the presentation of testimony
in the mileage I.k ease, which a*as
begun in Charleston December J7 and

windows and on the tiuestion of
whether the present plan Is general!)
acceptable to the traveling public.
It is not Known when a decision
will be rendered by the interstate

as the testimony taken both here and
in Charleston has been quite heavy
