"I " am glad I have finally found a judge who is willing to give me jus tice," remarked Castro as he left the Federal building.

The -statement continued : . "What passed in my examination is some thing that I have never heard the equal of. f The people of the United States should know how I have been willified and degraded and knjefw the iniquity of the inquisitorial -'process.

R., Taft and Wilson ;j: :';' -''c-- Suffers Defeat. ' - Washington, Jan. 31 The Senate today defeated every . attempt to am end the Works' single six-year Pijesi dential term resolution. When a re cess was taken tonight ' it appeared certain that a final vote on the pro posed constitutional amendment would be reached tomorrow and Its oppon ents were mustering all possible strength to "defeat it. As the: measure emerged from the day's fight in the Senate, it still pro vides for one term of six years for the chief executive and makes ineli gible to re-election any person who has in the past held the office by elec tion or - by succession. The - closest votes of the day came on Senator, Ow; en's amendment for- a direct . popular vote on President and Vice President, which was defeated 35 to 32 and Sent ator Paynter8 amendment to lengthen to six years the term of the President? who might be in office' when the; con stitutional . amendment was -finally ratified.; This was defeated 36 to 30. Proposals for two four year terms and . one four , year term, suggestions to modify the resojution so it would hot affect Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt and amendments to make it apply only on Presidents elected after its ratifica tion, 1 were all defeated by large major itfes.;; : r; 4 . - - . - N' - . Progressives . and . Ttepublicans who declared themselves friendly' to Col Rooseyelt again led a fight: against XheiifJre;.sQration. --The 'Progres sives declared ' it was against the American, governmental, principles to limit the -right of the people to choose a President. " Senator Crawford insist ed it. was aimed at Col. Roosevelt. "We are asking the American peo ple; to foreclose themselves from the right to call into their service the man of the hour during a crisis upon which the very destiny of the Republi6 may be hanging," declared Senator Craw f ord.' , "Wie have no fear of a despot." "No we are not afraid of a despot." retorted Senator Williams; . "neither was any ocner xooi nation mat ever existed until after they had got him." " did, not believe any one would insist that this legislation was aimed at Col. Roosevelt," declared Senator Cummins, advocating the WJbrks sin gle six-year Presidential term amend ment, - "but it; has been very busily "urged throughout the United States lately that we are legislating to make Rdosevelt Ineligible. .There is no truth in such statements, and I knpw they must be. abhorrent to Col. Roose velt. ;vr v;;, r 'Senator Williams, Democrat, declar ed that the single term proposal would probably 4e defeated by the States un less Col. Roosevelt were exempted from. its provisions.' "Whatever might be the motives of those "who oppose the amendment," said Senator Williams, "they would be able to say to the people: 'They are after one man's scalp; he 'received more than' f ,000,000 votes of the Amer ican people, and now they are trying to make mm Ineligible ." v "It would be unwise for those who favor this amendment to handicap the motive with the antagonism of those who could h6t make this point against It." - The proposal to exempt ' Roosevelt. Taft and Wilson suffered defeat in the voting down of . the . Hithccock and Root amendments. The Senate theft took up the McCumber amendment, which . proposed a . limitation to two 'four-year- terms, with the qualifying provision :tnat "no person who has served as President by, succession for the major fractlon of he term, shall be .eligible to hold moreVhan One full term." ; ..- Senator -Borah declared fSIs provlr sion was the funwritten law", that no President; should serve more than two terms 'and!' that it was not necessary to put that in the constitution. . Senator Crawford declared no limi tation, should be put upon the power of the (people . to elect a President again an he opposed both - the Mc Cumber. amehdment and the original plan fo? a single year term. He insisted .that even thought Presi dent -Wilson's; power to re-nominate himself were! curtailed, v there would be nothing to prevent his usine the full influehce ' of his , office to secure the nomination and ! election of some one whd'had' given him great power in securing the election this year. The McCttmber amendment was ul timately" defeated by a voce of 61. to 3, Senators iMcCumber; Penrose and WaiUams' voting for it.

Servian delegates today bade fare well to Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister. Stbgan Novako vitch, head of the delegation, told Sir Edward that he considered a renewal of the war inevitable as the Bulga rians would not be satisfied with any thing short of the surrender of Adri anople. 'M. Novakovitch said to the Asso ciated Press that he did not believe any interference with the allies was possible. M. Venizelos, the Greek premier, in bidding farewell to friends today, said he hoped soon to return to London for a definite conclusion of peace as the second period of the war would be very short. M. Myiuekovitch, head of th& Mon teengrin delegation, went to Paris to day, tout will return to London tomor row and leave here direct. for Cettmje next Wednesday. Exchange of communications be tween representatives of the powers was active today, but thus far it seems that no practical way has been found to avoid a resumption of hostilities.
