STRIKE DIES WITH OLD YEAR

END SERIES OF CONFERENCES
Plans for Extra Session Are "Talked
Over, But Nothing Definite is-
Given Out Announce Date
After Inaugural.
r Trenton, N.- J., Dec. 31. President
elect WSlson finished his political ac
tivities fpr the year 1912 by complet
ing today the series of conferences he :
planned soon after election with lead
ers of the Democratic party.
. The President-elect had a long talk'
with Oscar W. Underwood, Democrat
ic leader of the House of Representa
tives discussing principally . plans - for ;
tariff revision, but nothing definite
came from either man after the. con
ference to indicate what 'particular
schedules would be taken up. or other
details of what may be expected in the
coming extra session. Governor Wil
son said he merely had asked and ob
tained from Mr. Underwood , what he
sought from W. J. Bryan and Speaker
Champ Clark, with Whom he previous
ly had conferred hisv views and opin
ions about the personnel of the admin
istration : and legislative politics. No
'conclusions or decisions on . these
questions, . however, were reached,, ac
cording to, the President-elect :. "
"Mr. Underwood and ,1," said , Gov
enuff Wilson, "went, through the pro
cess of consultation " that J adopted
with the other men whohave been to
see me:. I asked his advice as to men
and measures, r We spent most of . the
time outlining and discussing, the pros
and cons" of the programme for the ex
tra session. - We did hot come tbT any
conclusions ; :-- we just canvassed ,; mat
ters.'. 'Here, Mrj Wilson watf. asked M
ki1fHip:, fpr? thef
eitra ' se'ssioh.
- "We-, ook that up only ' casually,"
was ' the" reply. ' "Mr. Underwood
thought as we all think, that, the ear
lier it. is the better."
The Governor declared, however,
that while he soon' might decide on
just what date the extra session
should convene, he would not make
the announcement until after he had
been Inaugurated. Mr. Wilson added
that in his conference he had talked
over the; advisability of a. large or
small programme for the extra ses
sion and, that 'Mr. Underwood had ex
pressed his ideas on the subject .
"As usual no conclusions. were reach
ed," said the Governor, with a smile,
Intimating that there was no particu
lar necessity for "an early decision of
this question. '
When Mr. Underwood left the Gov
ernor's, office he declined to mention
specific things he had talked about.
"I'd prefer to leave that to the Gov
ernor," he said. "I had a. very satis
factory talk and a very pleasant one.
It was largely about what will come
up in the extra session and -not so
much about the cabinet." ;
Mr.--Underwood was asked' whether
there would be any factional troubles
in the House .and "whether in -view of
Mr. Bryan's opposition to him early
last' year any dissension was expected.
There would be no trouble," he
said., s "You remember the woolen
schedule when there was only one
vote against rne well.-that -paragraph
might represent what factional differ
ences there are. The I friends of Mr.
Bryan, I should say, are very likely to
be friends of President Wilson."
Mr. Underwood said that he expect
ed the tariff ta be "thoroughly consid
ered from top -to bottom.-
Every schedule - will be taken up
separately,"., he added. "Then we can
put in an enacting clause af the., top
of each schedule and put that through.
separately, or we. can put. the- whole
thing through in the form of one bill."
That will' be a .matter of choice, how
ever. .
It was the first time Mr. Underwood
had conferred '. with GovernorWilson
since July, shortly after the Baltimore
convention, since tnat time, nowev
er, there, has been frequent Correspoh
dence between them. . ''.:'
The . President-elect oon 'will 'begin
more conferences with Senate leaders.

Gormah of New York, and Gore of

ANGERED AT HIS TREATMENT
Detained' By Immigration Authorities
At Ellis;-Island Former Presi- v
dent of Venezuela 'Renounce -His.
Visit
New York, December 31. General
Cipriano. Castro, s one-time "terror" of
Venezuela and defier of the civilized
world, declines to stay in the United
States, owing to thev official attitude
adopted toward him. on his arrival
from France today on board the
French liner LaTduraine. When the
LaTouraine was steaming up the bay
with the former South American Presi
dent, an intended visitor to these
shores, Castro was taken off by immi
gration officials and taiYen to Ellis Is
land that it might be decided whether
he was an undesirable. Angered at
the treatment accorded him, General
Castro expressed a desire to return
at .:o.nce. His wish was that he be al
lowed, to go to Germany instead of
France, whence he had come. He re
fused to accept any mail, telegrams
or newspapers or to receive visitors,
although some of his family connec
tions, and old . friends tried to greet
him. . ,
Long before the customs officers
boarded the vessel at quarantine, the
- i. . '
FTm!r dlctator was, told, he was an
unwelcome visitor. The cutter Immi
grant, carrying Inspector Dobler and
two assistants, picked' up the LaTou
raine down the bay and , the officers
boarded her and informed Castro that
he was s to come with them- to Ellis
Island . instead of proceeding on the
liner to her. dqck. v f; s
w Arriving" at Ellis slandiHEtrtn
derwent a medical ;inspeCtioft7Bfd.tllie
physicians pronounced his condition
as satisfactory. The inspection, a
thorough one, , was conducted by Dr.
Sprague and Dr. Stoner. Castro took
it more or less good humoredly and
was on the best of terms with the doc
tors, with whom he afterwards had
lunch. Then he was conducted to a
private room, but separated from his
companion, a young Algerian, who has
been with him for several years and
who was allowed to enter the United
States without further trouble. In reply-to
a request from an interviewer,
said: ' .
, "No, I am a prisoner and so long as
I am liberated I refuse to say any
thing." Although he appeared brisk and
well, Castro did not seem to possess1
his. former iron will. ' When the Offi
cers approached him he appeared in
dignant, but remained calm. He had
not believed the wireless reports that
he was to be subjected to examination
as to his fitness to enter the United
States. ' "
The general said he had come as a
tourist, to America. His voyage across
the Atlantic was a distressing one.
3ales blew all the-way and he was icon-
fined to his cabin. . He was glad - to
get ashore for. a time, if only at the:
immigrant .station.
All efforts to approach him - were
frustrated by his owi unwillingness
to receive 'Visitors and a close guard
kept on him at Ellis Island;, During
his interrogation" by a SDecial board
afterthe medical examination,, all the-
doors were kept locked. -
Only at a late hour, in the evening
came the 'official' announcement that
he had renounced his visit to the
country. The note issued by Commis
sioner of Inspection Willianis, . said :
"After a preliminary hearing this af
ternoon ' at Ellis Island, General d-
nano Castro informed Commander
Williams that he desired to return to
Europe forthwith."
It was added .that Castro, has ex
pressed the wish tb go to Hamburg In
stead of back to France. It was said
tonight that Castro's wish would be
acceded to. , The next steamer sailing
for . Hamburg will be the Anjerika,
which is scheduled to depart Saturday
and Castro probably will take, passage
oh her. Meanwhile, he will be detain
ed at; Ellis. Island. He i has been as
signed to a ' suite with a private bath
in . the' administration building. ..
v With the decision 'of Castro to, re

Balkan Delegates Draft Ultimatum
And Will Endeavor to Get the
Powers to Bring Pressure to"
. Bear on Turkey
London, December 3.1. "The passin;
of the year has occurred without eith
er the conclusion of peace in the Turkish-Balkan
war or notable progress in
the negotiations which" are proceed
ing in' St. James' palace. 'Whatever
has been accomplished toward settling
the status of European Turkey, the
work had been done outside the coun
cil chamber and largely by the" Great
European powers.
The Balkan .plenipotentiaries have
made ' frequent Visits to the foreign
offices " and the ambassadors Of the
powers during the past week. On
Monday Dr. Daneff, head of the Bul
garian delegation', and Rechad Pasha,
the chief Turkish plenipotentiary had
a long conference o'n the situation.'
The allies have been trying to in
duce the powers to bring pressure on
Turkey to . accept their demands, but
the powers . are; disposed to consider
the demands excessive and suggest re
ductions. " The. heads of the Balkan
delegations have drafted a sort of ulti
matum which will be presented to
Turkey if necessary", but its purport,
and the occasion when it may be pre
sented have not been divulged.
The most important feature of the
situation is the question as1 to whether
the allies wilt be able to remain ef
fectively united, as " dissensions, al
though officially denied, are constantly
creeping up. Bulgaria, being- the
strongest among the States, arouses
the greatest jealousy and - is accused
of being responsible fof present con
ditions. The allied armies might have
reached Constantinople many weeks
ago, say critics, if Bulgaria had not
detached 35,000 men of her army and
sent them to SalOnok'i. to prevent un
disputed GreeVf-" occupation of that'
town. Those 35,000 men, strengthened
by fresh Greek, and Servian troops,
they argue, would have been enough
to continue the march to the Turkish
capital. '''.v.
