ARGUES WITH SENATORS.
President in Presenting DcmincaI
Prr+reoI Diseussee Menroa doctrine

President in Presenting Dominica,
Protocol Discusses Monroe Doctrine.
Washington. Feb. 1S.-The message
from the president, transmitting to the
senate today the protocol or agreement
between the United States and the
Dominican government providing for
the collection and disbursement by the
United States of the customs revenues
of the Dominican republic, made near
ly $500 words and was read in full
to the senate. 1t is largely discus
sion of the rights and duties of the
United States under the Monroe doc
trine. The president saws the protocol
affords practical test of the eftici,S y
of the United States government in
maintaining the doctrine.
The president says conditions in San
Domingo have been growing steadily
worse for many~years. Debts have been
contracted beyond the power of tn, re-
public to pay. Certain foreign coun-
tries have felt themselves aggrieved
because of the nonpayment of debts
due their citizens. and have felt the
only way they could ever get any guar
antee of payment would be by acquisi-
ton of territory or taking charge Of
the customs affairs of the republic.
1t is pointed out by the president
that the Monroe doctrine would pro-
hibit any foreign government from
stepping in, and he says that those
who profit by this doctrine must ac-
cept certain responsibilities along with
the rights it confers.
He says further:
Classification for the United States
taking this burden and mourning this
responsibility is to be found in the fact
that it is incompatible with interna-
tional equity for the United States tc
refuse to allow other powers to take the
only means at their disposal of salts
flying the claims of their creditors, and
yet to refuse itself to take any such
steps "

Representative Campbel's Views.

belief that an inquiry, once begun,
would extend to the operations of the
Standard Oil company in the Beaumont
field and perhaps in other fields.

Columbus, O., Aug. 2S.-Three men

be on the list of wanted" in some
city, were arrested last night by De-
tectives Hamer. Dorgan, Rourke and
Owens in High street, near Long, and
are held at city prison for investiga-
ton. They gave their names as John
Burke, John Wilson and Fred Adams.
The detectives had shadowed the men
during the afternoon, having been CIV
EN- tip that the men were crooks.
1t was at first believed the three
might have had some connection with
the attempt to blow up the county Jail,
but after the men were arrested and
questioned at police headquarters, the
detectives abandoned this belief. They
declare, however, that the men are
noted crooks, and believe they were
here preparing for state fair week.
REGISTERED FROM CANTON.
1t was asserted by the officers that
Burke has an alias of l.. ]. Haley,
alias Pat Durkin; that Wilson has an
alias Of "Si" Twichell. These men arc
believed to be from Pittsburg. Frank
Adams is not identified as having an
alias as yet. All claim Parkersburg,
w. Va, as their home.
These men had registered from Can
ton at a. local hotel yesterday, and tho
fact that they were recognized crooks
and registered from Canton led to the
first belief that they had some connec-
ton with the attempt at jail delivery.

On entering the Jail Matthias was
taken Immediately on the inside and
compelled to strip for the jail togs.

taken in the offense charged, prefer

some remark that did not carry as an

reported that Matthias was a myth, he
but even so he was as nervous as one
could be. and did not take his confine-
ment with the greatest ease
The deputies speak in the highest
terms of the treatment on the part Of
the Canton police, who held the night
force on duty until Matthias was safely
out of the city, seeing that no crooks
boarded the train. The motive was to
thwart another Lowery raid, and they
were successful. 1t was suggested that
they return through Elyria, Lorain
and Cleveland when leaving the city.
but the Canton officials pointed out to
them that II this was attempted they
would not insure certain delivery in
Columbus. as that channel Is filled with
criminals of all classes who would go
