here Wednesday aboard the United

on the skin to tell at what close
range the shot had been fired.
"Vice-President Suarez was choked
to death by the hands of another
burly guard. His face was black and
his tongue was protruding from his
mouth as they placed his dead body
beside the cropse of the president in
the automobile. Then a Journey to

lifeless figures propped up on the

of the double assassination that had
taken place within the palace walls.

WILSON REFUSES AID
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO APP
PROVE UNITED STATES
LOAN IN CHINA.
WILL NOT INVOLVE AMERICA
Chief Executive Declares 70. the Open
Door-AIso Comes Out Strong In
Favor Of the Budget System in
Government Affairs.

Washington, March 20.-In a state
ment issued from the White House
Tuesday President Wilson refused to
Endorse the request that American
bankers participate in the Chinese
loan. The president expressed SYM
patty for the Chinese republic and
declared for the open door. The
statement follows:
1--WE are informed that at the re-
quest of the last administration GER
tain group of American bankers I'M
dertook to participate in the loan now
desired by the government Of China
approximately 125,000,000). Our
government wished American bank
ers to participate along with the bank
ers of other nations, because 1t de-
sired that the good will of the United
States toward China would be exhlb-
tied in this practical way, that Ameri-
can capital should have access to
that great country and that the Uni
ted States should be in q position to
share with the other powers any po-
litical responsibilities that might be
the foreign relations Of China in con-
nection with her Industrial and COM
mercial enterprises. The present ad-
ministration has been asked by this
group of bankers whether 1t would
also request them to participate in
the loan. The administration has de-
clined to make such request because
it did not approve the conditions OF
the loan.
"The government Of the United
States is not only willing, but earn
estly DESTROYS of aiding the great
Chinese people in every way that is
consistent with thier untrammeled
development and it's own immemorial
principles
THE government of the United
States is DESTROYS of promoting the
most extended ana intimate trade re-
lationships between this country and
the Chinese republic. The present
administration will urge and support
the legislative measures necessary to
give American merchants, manufac-
turers, contractors and engineers the
banking and other financial facilities
which they now lack and without
which they are at a serious dlSad-
vantage compared with their indus
trial and commercial rivals. This is
its duty. This is the main material
interest OF it's citizens in the develop
ment of China. Our interests are
those of the open door-a door of
friendship and mutual advantage"

Marshalltown, Ackley, Woodbine and

Abiline, Kansas, are places from
which scattering messages carrying
the news of grave destruction have
been received For more than four
hours no word was received from the

city was swept by a tornado All
wires are down and Berlin, a neigh

The message was received over sin.

which worked at intervals.
Terre Haute, Ind, suffered severely.
Scores of persons were injured, an un.
known number were overwhelmed in
the ruin of houses blown down by the
wind and many fires were started in
different parts of the city.
First reports from Nebraska were
that the towns visited by the storm
had been wiped out and that the
wreckage was on fire. Trains loaded
with rescuers, nurses and physicians,
were struggling toward the scene,
being compelled to feel their way
without running orders, owing to the
paralysis of the telegraph service.
The loss of life and property in
Iowa was less severe, according to
messages from the storm district.
Dust storms, rain, hail and tremendous
electrical disturbances prevailed over
Kansas and Nebraska the greater part
of the day.
Where railroad service was impos.

service and surgeons and supplies
were rushed to the wrecked towns at
