Washington, March 20.-In q state
ment issued from the White House
Tuesday President Wilson refused to
;ndorse the request that American
bankers participate in the Chinese
loan. The president expressed SYM
pathy for the Chinese republic and
declared for the open door. The
statement follows:
1--WE are informed hat at the re-
quest of the last administration a GER
tain group of American bankers UNI
dertook to participate in the loan now
desired by the government of China
approximately $125,000, 00O). Our
government wished American bank
ers to participate along with the bank
ers of other nations, because it de-
sired that the good will of the United
States toward China would be exhib-
tied in this practical way, that Ameri-
"a capital should have access to
that great country and that the Uni
ted States should be in a position to
share with the other powers any po-
litical responsibilities that might be
associated with the development OF
LILO AOlCi6H IcldllOuS VI Oulud III COu-
nection with her Industrial and COM
mercial enterprises. The present ad-
ministration has been asked by this
group of bankers whether it would
also request them to participate in
the loan. The administration has de-
clined to make such request because
1t 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 and intimate trade re-
la~tionships 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
they are at a serious disad-
vantage compared with their indus-
trial and commercial rivals. This is
its duty. This is the main material
of its citizens in the develop
ment Of China. Our interests are
those OF the open door-a door of
and mutual advantage"

of the president and v~ice-president.
President Madero was shot in the
palace by Captain Azcarade, one of
the guards. The shot was fired into
his neck, close to the ear and the
powder marks could be plainly seen
on the skin to tell at what close
range the shot had been fred.
"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
the p~enitentiary was begun and a vol
ley Of shots were fired into the two
lifeless figures propped up on the
seats in an effort to mask the atrocity
Of the double assassination that had
taken place within the palace walls.
THE president and v~ice-president
were killed in the palace about eight
O'Clock. 1t was sometime between
10 and 10 o'clock the same night that
their bodies were put into the auto
and fired upon on the journey to the
