AMERICAN CONFER

Hammond Attacks Bryan in Speech
Before COnference-Says That Ma.
ton Which Does not Protect Its
Citizens and Their Property is Un-
worthy OF the Name.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 21.-The
Monroe doctrine was attacked and
defended at todays' session OF the
Fan-American conference at Clark
university. George F. Tucker Of Bos-
ton, author of books on South Amer
lean affairs, urged that the words
Monroe toctrine" be given up and q

adopted Prof. Hiram Bingham OF
Yale : ,ssed similar views.
CT H. Sheriff., former Amer
icaS mister at Buenos Ayres. sug-
g,S that in case affairs in Mexico
ID make it necessary for the
:. ted States to intervene, Argentine
Brazil or some other South Amer
can country be invited to join.
Rear Admiral French e. Chadwick,
U. S. NJ, retired. and Prof. James NJ.
Callahan Of West Virginia discussed
the doctrine in the afternoon session
Admiral Chadwick held that while the
relations Of the United States to the
larger nations Of South America
should be rs an equal among equals,
the question Of the Caribbean, the
Gulf Of Mexico and that part Of the
Pacific bordering Central America had
different status.
Prof. Callahan defended the Monroe
doctrine, saying it had aided the peo-
pie who were struggling to free
themselves from conditions imposed
by European politics and had pre-
vented the partition OF Latin-America.
John Hays Hammond. mining ex-
pert. speaking tonight az the closing
session Of the conference, declared he
would not invest a cent in q foreign
| country as long as william j. Bryan is
| secretary Of state. He said any man
who would make such an investment
Is lacking in sense.
"A nation that does not protect its
citizens and investors is unworthy tho
name Of nation" declared Mr., Ham.
mond. after saying that .'honest
workingmen, encouraged to locate in
Mexico. are forced to throw away the
savings Of a lifetime"
Mr.. Hammonds subject was "The
Development Of South American
Trade"
At the beginning he said he would
refrain from discussing Mexico but
during his speech following his refer
ence to Mr.. Bryan. he commented
briefly upon Mexico. He declared,
however, that he does not favor inter-
vention and has opposed it from tho
first.
Among other things he said:
"As an argument against protection
for some property it has been claimed
that concessions have been secured

Aguilar's Announcement Which
Proves Comforting to Americans
Conferences Held by Officials.

washington, NOV. Zl.-Rear AQ-
miral Fletcher, commanding the
American fleet on the east coast of
Mexico, late today cab,ed the navy de-
partment a message he had received
from Gen. Aguilar, the constitution
alist leader. who has occupied the
vicinity Of Tuxpam, giving assur-
ances that American and other extern
sive oil interests in that territory
would be protected.
Amiral Fletcher is under orders
to take such steps as may be neces-
sary to protect foreign lives and
property, reports from Tuxpam hav-
ing indicated that the constitution
alists were threatening to destroy
tanks of British oil. This led to
of the possibility Of landing m9 5
or bluejackets from the An : An
battleships and developments the
situation have been awaited ". a in"
tense interest.
Gen. Aguilar's message, sent in re-
ply to Admiral Fletchers demand that
no harm should come to foreigners
or their property, said:
Il am governing on constitutional
basis my attitude being to guarantee
the interests Of all foreign and do
nestic oil corporations existing in the
territory I occupy. fulfilling in this
manner the demands Of civilization
and not being governed by caprice or
vengeance"
Officials here think this means that
there will be no trouble, but some
complications as a result of Aguilar's
occupation Of the oil field territory.
Destruction Of the tanks would have
endangered lives Of many Americans
and other foreigners. Two British
cruisers have been ordered to the
scene. but, in the meantime, the Unit
ed States had been asked to guard
British interests.
Frequent conferences today be-
tween Secretary Bryan, Counselor
John Bassett Moore and Acting Sec
retary Roosevelt and two visits by the
secretary OF state to the White House
accompanied by Mr.. Roosevelt were
the outward marks Of the deep inter-
est felt in official circles in the Mexi-
can situation.
1t developed that the welfare Of the
Madero brothers ard their relatives,
who had sought asylum in the Ameri-
can consulate at Vera Cruz, was the
was strong desire on the part of
the administration to learn whether
any resistance had been offered by
the local Mexican authorities to re-
moval Of the refugees aboard a bat
tleship and it was quite apparent
that sense of relief was experienced
when it was learned that it had not
been necessary to employ force. Late
In the day the department received a
cablegram from Admiral Fletcher an
nOuncing that Daniel Madero and
five companions were received this
morning on board the Louisiana as
refugees"
1t was said at the navy depart
ment that no special instructions had
been given in. regard to the treat
ment Of the refugees. though Admiral
John Lind, who last evening had been
authorized by President Wilson him
self to extend protection to the
MaderOs.

SULZER'S IMPEACHMENT.
-O-O

IT WOULD not be fair for one at this
 distance to criticise the verdict of
 the Impeachment court that tried the charges against Coy. Sulzer. in face of the fact that the members of the court of appeals who were also members of the impeachment court were divided. without a close scrutiny of the evidence that was presented. but this much is fact: Gov. SuIzer was removed because he stood with the people and refused to take dictation from political bosses. Had he been as piiant in the hands of Murphy as was hls predecessor. he would still be Gov ernor of the Empire State. Tho charges against him were not brought because of any Irregularities that be might have committed. They were brought because he refused to dance to Tammany music. This fact will count with telling force in the cam paign this fall and it might easily oc- cur that Gov. Sulzer removed from of flee will be more potent in the battle against the Tiger than Gov. SuIzer in office.

ROOSEVELT'S ATTACK ON
 WILSON,


 THE consensus of opinion in the
 country seems to agree that the
 attacks hurled at the Wilson ad- ministration by former President Roosevelt in the days immediately preceding his departure for South America have hurt the standing of the strenuous Colonel far more than they have damaged the President. It lis generally agreed that they were in spired by an unsuitable political ambi- tiOn and launched for the purpose of hampering the administration in it's work of solving the problems that confront it. They stamp The Colonel as one who would have issues remain unsettled rather than that they be solved without his assistance. His sincerity is being attacked in sources that heretofore have not attempted to question his motives. The New York World gives fair expression to the all but universally accepted opin- ion of the incident in the following:
 As for Mir Roosevelt's criticisms of President Wilson. they are a fair measure of RoOseveltian sincerity If Mir Roosevelt were honestly pro- gressive he would be helping Presi- dent Wilson. not making himself the nOisiest antagonist of the progressive policies of the Wilson Administration
 There is no better measure of the present influence of Theodore Roose- welt upon the political thought of the country than can be found in the ef- feet of his criticisms of Woodrow Will son. Mir. Roosevelt rails and the country pays no heed to him. The President forges ahead, steadily and surely, the statsman-ledder of a great party that is redeeming it's pledges and keeping it's faith with the peo- pie
 Much water has gone under the bridge since 1909. It is no longer thinkable that a nation that has known Woodrow Wilson in the White House would ever go back to the demagogy and denunciation of a cowboy regime. Mir. Roosevelt is still biting the gran ite."
