White House Statement.

The Mathis interview having been
cabled to the United States and called
to the attention of the President, the
following statement regarding it was
given out at the White House this
afternoon:
"An alleged interview in the Matia
of Paris purporting to quote the Presi-
dent on certain phases Of the attitude
of the government of the United States
toward certain foreign affairs was this
morning brought to the attention of the
secretary of the President.
"Ir. Hilles explained that much sur
prise had been felt at the White House
in finding that gentleman, the cousin
of the French military attache, coming
introduced by the French ambassador,
should have sought without any au-
thorization. to circulate as an inter
view his recollections of casual re-
marks made by the President in the
course of hurried conversation. The
gentleman in question was one of a
very large number received during a
busy morning and no interview what
ever was authorized

Following is the interview secured
by M. de Tessan, as cabled from Paris
today by the Associated Press;

HOW A FRENCH JOURNALIST
INTERVIEWED PRESIDENT TAFT

An enterprising French journalist
has succeeded in doing what 40
American newspaper man would think
of attempting to do-he has interview
ed the President of the United States,
and published the interview in quota
ton marks. The only thing that mars
the glory of his achievement is that
when Mr.. Taft talked with his polite
caller, who had been introduced by the
French ambassador, he never suspect.
ed he was talking for publication, says
the Washington Star.
The French journalist who secured
this unprecedented scoop" is Francis
de Tessan, and the informal talk which
he converted into an interview was
published today in the Paris Matin.
Mr.. Taft said nothing to NJ. de Tessan
which he would not willingly say
to any other caller VINO came to the
White House properly accredited, and
there is no charge that the enterpris
ing Partisan reporter misquoted him.
The incident is remarkable only from
the fact that it is the unwritten law
in the United States that journalistic
callers at the White House-and the
President sees them daily and talks
with them freely-shalI not quote him
directly. 1t is one of the proud tradi-
lions of American newspaper men that
this confidence has never been vio-
lated.

day publishes an article which purports
to be an interview with President Taft,
written by Francois de Tessan. The
writer quotes the President on such
questions as Intervention in the Turco-
Italian war, on Americas attitude in
regard to China, on the situation in
Mexico and on the general subject OF
arbitration.
When asked about the possibility Of
American mediation in the Turco-Ita-
liam war the writer states that Presi-
dent Taft declared that the United
States was certainly disposed in favor
of the establishment of peace.
Nevertheless, he felt that it would be
unwise to depart from the path of
wisdom. He makes the President

Friendly with Both.

Our relations with the two belliA-
'erents are equally friendly. We do
not wish to offend the national dignity
of either. Moreover, the TurcoItalian
war concerns primarily the European
concert. There is, therefore, the ques-
ton of tact for the United States not
to put herself forward to bring an end
to a conflict, which, however, from
the bottom of her heart she desires
to see ended 1t is evident that if
the European powers were in accord
to ask for our mediation we should
be happy to work in favor of peace.
We have wished to avoid anything
which might lead to a misinterpreta-
ton of our action. That is the reason
why up to now we have adopted an
impartial and impassive attitude
Speaking on the subject of China
President Taft is stated to have said
that the United States would naturally
defend its interests, remaining at the
same time faithful to the double prin-
ciple of the maintenance of the in
tcgrity of the celestial empire and Of
the open door
For China's Integrity.
"The United States cannot conceive
on the other side of the Pacifis a ma
ton dismembered and a prey to for
eign cupidity in which our enterprises
are no longer in a state of stability.
What will emerge from the Chinese
revolution is question which no one
knows how to answer. 1t is necessary,
therefore. to act with prudence and
within the limits of the international
accords concluded after the Boxer trOu-
bles. We are adopting a patient atti-
tude so as not to add foreign troubles
, to the existing confusion in the in

MILTON OBSERVES
DECORATION DAY
Honors Memory of Woman
Who Started Movement
in the Country.
lNational News Association

Milton, Ind, May 31.-In honoring
the memories of the dead Union SOL
diers buried here, Milton residents al
SO paid due homage to the memory of
the late Mrs. Sarah Izer of this place.
who, it is reputed, was the first per.
son to start the movement for an an
nual memorial day, and who worked
earnestly in bringing this to pass. She
became noted during the war for the
part she played in furnishing supplies
to the soldiers and in the organization
of societies to supply articles of cloth
ing, bedding and the like for the I'm
ion men and in assisting the destitute
families here, whose men were at the
front.
DR.. Sweeney, chairman of the exer.
cises which were held at the school
house park, read an account of the
first decoration day here. He credit
ed the work to Mrs. Izer. declaring
that by her activity, milton became the
first place to observe decoration day
annually, and largely by her efforts
that May thirtieth became a national
holiday.
The exercises were appropriate and
attended by large crowd. The pro-
gram included besides the paper on
the first decoration day celebration
and Mrs. Izer's part, the reading of
the names of the soldier dead and
where they are buried, and severa.
musical selections. The Rev. E. X.
Van Wrinkle delivered the address.
The 1912 celebration was placed in
charge of F. NJ. Jones, w. l.. Parkins
and L. F. Lantz. The decoration of
the graves was in charge of commit
tees.

Elk Family.

This morning, President Hammond,
OF the board OF works received a post
card from w. A. Farmer, of Phoenix,
Ariz., saying that he had just cap
tured ''gila monster" Is inches long.
The card stated that Mr.. Farmer
would hold the animal until he heard
from Hammond. 1t suggested that it
be placed in the menagerie at Glen
Miller.
The board and Clerk Bescher have
since the arrival of the card been pc
rusing the encyclopedias and diction-
aries to find out what sort of a brute a
"gila monster" is. Bescher is not
sure whether 1t is the name of flow.
er, town or some species of water
dog. 1t Is ''one on" the dictionary.
The ella monster" is a poisonous
reptile or the lizard family, very fe-
rocious and dangerous. 1t is com.
monte dry countries.
The animal kingdom at Glen Miller,
was increased one elk this morning,
and papa elk is passing the cigars in
the pen at the park today.
Never has the park been SO beauti.
ful as now. it is said. Around tho
lake are large lunches of peonies in
profuse bloom, the hills are sweet witt,
honeysuckle and briar- shrubs and long
grass covers the meadows. The park
Is popular with picnickers and plea

and well known cigar manufacturer
will occupy the room on the north.
east corner of Eighth and Main
