AGAIWST Venezuelan io New York Seek ing Means to Oast Castro from Presidency BELIEVED URGE SUM CAN BE RAISED HERE Castro's Treatment of American Bus- Iness Interests In That Country, It Is Believed, Will Make the Rais ing of Fonda Here An Easy Mat ter Pulido Spent Fifteen Years in Washington as Representative of His Government, But Was Recalle d Last Spring!- t (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Aug. 13 Snnor Don August F. Pulido, for 15 year 3 a representative of the Venezuelan gov ernment In Washington, who was suddenly recalled to Venezuela by President Castro last spring, is in New Tork planning with a number of other Venezuelans and some Ameri cans, a revolution in his country, which is expected to result in the downfall of Castro. It has been learned from an un questionable source that Pulido had been seen in New York by a member of the diplomatic corps, one of the attaches of a Central American lega tion. The fact that he, with other Venezuelans, is planning the revolu tion was also confirmed. : . Whether Pulido plans to take an armed .'... force from America or merely arms- or merely money with which to carry on the revolt against the. . Castro government are -details that have not yet been made clear. Pulido is himself the nephew of one of the richest men In Venezuela, and it is expected that in the junta which has formed in New York and in Venezuela to carry Into effect the revolution, are many men of promi nence in the South American country. Castro's treatment of the Ameri cans who have been interested in me Dermuueae Aayuuii. iuiuimuji tuu other companies in Venezuela, leads readily to the belief that it will not be difficult to raise a large sum for the overthrow of Castro. Besides re venge, certain interested parties would probably be granted the right by the new government to regain their Interests and again control the asphalt company from which Castro ousted them. Senor Pulido was, for many years, one' of the best known diplomats in Washington, where he was a member of the ' Metropolitan Club and a gen eral favorite in society. ' The United States has broken off diplomatic relations with Venezuela. This being' the case, it remains to be seen whether this government will take steps to prevent Pulido and his friends from completing their plans for the revolution in Venezuela. . Racers Shipped to.

APPEALS TO LABOR VOTK Gompers Officially Endorses the' Democratic Tickot First A peal to Trades Tnions lssuel Last Night Republican Party Lines Up With the Corporations and Defies the People to Help Themselves. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Chicago, Aug. 13 President Gompers and the executive-council of the American Federation of Labor is sued labor's first official pre-election political appeal to trades unionists of the country last night. The ap peal, which Is signed by every mem ber of the executive council, Includ ing John Mitchell, reveals a studied attempt to refrain from mentioning Bryan's name. it is plain, however, that the docu ment is intended as an offh iul en dorsement of the democratic national ticket, though contrary to the expec tations of labor men, the endorse ment is equivocal. The political endorsement is ac companied by an appeal to trades unionists throughout the country for funds with which to carry, on labor's campaign. Copies of the endorse ment and the appeal for campaign funds are being mailed from the fed-1 oration's headquarters1 in Washing ton. Respecting the two great par ties, the statement reads: "The republican party definitely lines up with the corporate interests J or the country and defies the people to help themselves. "The democratic party endorses la bor's demands and pledges Itself to carry them into effect if it Is put into power. - "We earnestly ask you to make the choice which is In accordance with the best Interests of yourself and of all the people. If the men of labor and our friends fall to do their duty they will have to reckon with even a worse condition of affairs than now obtains. We feel that we need not more than state the facts here out lined.

The . negroes,, 'who, were tramps, were caught near the premises of Ji Vincent, a prominent farmer of this place, who resides about one mile west of town on the road to Edgor ly. They slopped at the Vincent farm, and when they learned that Mr. Vincent was away, and that the only persons on the place were Mr. Vincent's daughters, the blacks be came very Impudent to the young women, and walked around the yard and about the premises. The young ladies insisted that the negroes leave, which they refused to do. ". One of the girls had the presenco of mind to telephone to Vinton and in a few minutes the alarm was spread and about forty determined citizens, some of them with weapons, rode out to tho nlVcent farm. The negroes evidently suspected that an alarm had been given for they had left tho place and were beating a hasty retreat when the citizens over took them. Six were captured and a messenger then sent to interview the young women, who said that the blacks bad been guilty of nothing farther than impudence and intrus ion upon the premises. For that reason the negroes were not dealt with in a more severe maner. tends to do.

Glenn Talks to Washington Correspondent of Detnorratic Prospects Much Pleuscd With Outlook in the West, Where He Has Been for Some Time. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, D. C, Aug. 13 Gov. R. B. Glenn, of North Carolina, who has been making Washington his headquarters for several days while on a lecture tour, said tonight that the report that he was to go to Chi caso to take charge of the prepara tion of the democratic handbook, is erroneous; that Josephus Daniels, or North Carolina, will have charge of that work. The governor Is a member of the speaker's committee of the democratic committee, v. "When I hegsin to think about the presidential election,. I balleved .that the democrats had no possiMe cnance," said Gov. Glenn, "but I have changed my mind decidedly, and I believe that Bryan has more than a fair chance of being elected. I have been in Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Kansas, and have talked with dem ocrats and republicans,- and I am -becoming-more confident every day that we ..have a 'fine chance to carry all thcfio ntates. "Prominent republicans ' of Ne braska have told me that Bryan' will carry his home state. In Indiana the democra ts have put forward tue verv best man they could select for governor, and with Kern running mate for the vice-presidency, there is more than nn even chance of cap turing the Horsier state. Illinois,' with the bitter light among the re publicans and the presence of Mr. si wiison on the ticket, also is to be classed ns doubtful. We know about the complications in West Virginia and Ohio, and in New York the pub lic trend is turning 'more and more toward Bryan. "Those politicians who. are talk ing about North Carolina going re publican, are talking nonsense, The state will give a plurality of from 40,000 to 50,000 for the democratic state and national ticket. I base this on past elections. My plurality was 49,000, while Governor Aycock had about 60,000, and with Mr. Kitchin, who is one of the most pop ular and majestic men in the state, as the candidate this year, there is no outlook for any change." Italian Hotel Victim New York, Aug. 13 Pietro Ba rlllo, a well-to-do hotel man of Wood Haven, L. I., was dragged from his bicycle at Lincoln Road and Nost rand, Flatbush, at 1 a. m. tdoay and stabbed to death by a band of men who had lain in ambush for him In a clump of bushes at the side of the road, The police have arrested An tonio Del Marato, his counsln, a saloon-keeper, In whose company at No. 525 Lincoln Road, he was. From letters found on him It is practically certain Barlllo was the victim of the black hand. The police believe the same band that hacked and hewed a ftian to pieces shortly af ter Christmas and dumped his dis membered body wrapped In oil cloth near the scene of today's crime killed the hotel-keeper. There were two witnesses to Ba rlllo's slaying, Mildred Busch, a 15-year-old girl of .No. 323 Lincoln Receives Message from Young Turks that Sends Him to Bed from Fear WILL BE PROTECTED New Minister Says Ho Harm Will Come to Retiring Envoy if He Can Help it Friends of All Bey Have All Disappeared With His Recall. ; Father Was Formerly a Power With the Sultan, But Now in Fxile. (By Leased Wire to. The Times) Washington, Aug. 13 "If you dare to come to New York we will kill you. The sun has risen anew on our nation. They that have dimmed the lustre of its name must die. Izzet Pasha and his son shall ans wer to those who love their country." This portentious message, carrying terror to the heart of Mehemid All Bey, the discredited envoy of Abdul Hamid, was received by him a few hours after the cable dismissing him as minister had sent his blood run ning cold through his reins, and it was this ominous decree, passed by a band of " youn g Tu rks' of New York, that caused him to collapse Tuesday night and take to his bed. The message was written on red paper with black Ink and signed "The avengers of our nation." It is said that when the paper was handed to him by an 'under-secretary the trwathy- face of "Mehemid" AH Bey turned a ghastly white and he reeled against the wall of his legation office as though he had received a blow, while his secretaries sprang to pre vent him falling to the floor. It whs the fear of assassination that caused Izzet Pasha, his father, for 1 5 years the power behind the throne of the sultan, to flee from Con stantinople and hide himself in some other part of the world, and even now he lives in mortal fear that the curved knife of some Turk will find a resUag place In his body. The friends of Mehemid All Bey have disappeared as snow before the sun. With the falling of his star of power and the advent of Mundji Bey, powerful, alert, resourceful, it prac tically leaves Mehemid All and his father without a country,, exiles In a strange land, with only their Syrian friends to 'stand by their side. The Turks have all gone over to Mundji Bey,, a iid he Is absolute master of the situation. The secretaries that once were glad to do the pleasure of Mehe mid All Bey are now followers of his father's iniplicable and victorious en emy, and at, the old legation at 1810 Calvert ...street only two of the former minor attaches of the legation remain by their former chief. Bui Mundji Bey declares no harm shall come 10 Mehemid, if it is in his power to protect him. "He is a subject of the sultan," he said, "and no harm shall come to him if we can protect him. It is true that he has received threatening letters, probably from some over-enthuslastlc hot-headed Turks. Depend upon it, though, no harm will come to him." Keeper of Black Hand road and a man wno happened to be passing. It was apparent, though, after they had been briefly examined by the police of the Flatbush station, that whatever they may have seen has been scared out of their heads by the horror of the assassination. .
