SURPRISED AT ACTION TAKEN.
Ambassador Page Believes His
Sneech Was Innocent Enough"

LONDON, March 1o.-Walter Hines
Page, the United States ambassador, was
much surprised when told today of the
resolution adopted by the Senate in con-
nect.on with his speech last night at the
dinner of the Association of Chambers of
Commerce He declined to discuss the
matter until he had received an official
demand FOR an explanation and details as
TO what portion of his speech objection
was made He put the question to the
interviewer: THE speech was innocent
enough, wasn't it?'
Asked whether objection might be taken
to the last sentence of his speech. re-
ferrng to the Panama canal, Mr.. Page
replied that that vas pleasantly.
The ambassador spoke late in the even
ing and his remarks We're extempora
neous They were made after most of the
reporters had left and no verbatim re-
ports were made OF them. The London
newspapers differ slight in the wording
of the ambassadors remarks regarding
Panama and Central American invest
ments.
Ambassador Page said that the most
accurate report Of his speech was con-
tanned in the Daily Telegraph. from which
the essential parts are quoted verbatim
as follows:
'.T'he people of the United States re-
garded the British empire as the guardian
of freedom in all parts Of the world and
as a promoter of trade.
"He would not say that the United
States had constructed the Panama canal
for the British people. but it added great
" to the pleasure of building 1t that the
British people would make the most profit
| out of II.
HE could say similar thing about
the recent lowering of the American
tariff. 1t was not lowered in order to
please the British people. but because
it was considered economically sound
| Nevertheless. it added to the pleasure of
| doing 1t when lie reflected that Ameri-
ca would thereby receive more trade
from this country.

S|EGEL STORES CLOSE
BY ORDERS OF COURT
More Indictments Expected to Be
Returned Against Mer-
chant Banker.

NEW YORK. March 12.-Orders clos
ing the two big New York department
stores operated by Henry siegel and his
partners were issued today by the federal
court.
Judge Hough directed that the receiv
ers appointed December 80, when the
Siegel enterprises went into bankruptcy,
receive bids up to March II for the
stock and assets of these stores. The
14th street store and the Simpson-Craw-
ford store, among the largest in the
city. We're the ones affected by the
coart order When the receivership began
they were allowed to remain open and
efforts were made to recognize them
without interrupting business in the hope
the creditors would reap the best ad-
vantage by this method.
The orders were granted today upon
application of the receivers and creditors
More Indictments Asked.

scribed as material for least fifty in
dicfments' alleging fraud against Henry
Siegel and Frank f. Vogel, president and
vice president, respectively, of the Sfegel

terday on three indictments, and are now
at liberty under $4,000 bail each was
placed in the hands Of the grand jury to-
day.
Assistant District Attorney Arthur c.
Train said that as many indictments as
the ends of Justice seemed to require
would be found against the merchant
bankers.
Liable to Heavy Sentences.
The indictments already found charge
violation of the banking laws and grand
larceny in making false statements to
obtain credit. The grand larceny in
dictment is based only on the affairs
OF the Fourteenth Street Store Of this
city and the Henry Siegel & Co. private
bank conducted in connection with it.
The affairs of the Fourteenth Street
Store" said Mr.. Train, ARE typical of
the affairs of other siegel enterprises
violation of the banking laws, in that
Siegel and Vogel accepted deposits when
they knew the bank to be 1nsolvent. is
punishable with a term of from one to
five; years imprisonment and a fine of
5000. For the grand larceny charge the
men may be sentenced to ten years in
prison and fined $4,000.
Secretaries Give Data.
District Attorney Whitman said that
statements of two secretaries employed
by Siegel were the basis OF the grand
larceny indictment. These secretaries
testified that false statements were pre-
pared for merchants and bankers; that
liabilities were turned into assets and
that approximately S2,5OO,0O0 of money
deposited in the Siegel private bank was
put into the retail business while it was
losing money.
Additional Indictments alleging that the
two men accepted deposits when they
knew the bank to be insoivent may be
based upon testimony of individual de-
positors Every deposit accepted by the
bank for a period Of over a year, it Is
claimed, can be made the basis of a sep
arate Indictment.

jury to go over the material at hand

A resolution calling upon Walter H.
Pages ambassador to Great Britain. for
an explanation of Panama canal
speech which he is>reported to have de.
livered last night before the Associated
chambers Of Commerce in London was
adopted today by the Senate.
The resolution was introduced by Sena-
tor Chamberlain. democrat. of Oregon,
tolls provision. In the preface of the
resolution s,enator Chamberlain quoted
report of the speech as printed in a New
York morning paper.
The resolution then calls on the Secre-
tary of State to furnish to the Senate
without delay copy of the speech made
by the American ambassador. and par
ticularIy that part thereof in which he is
alleged to have stated that the British
would profit most by the use OF the
Panama canal: and that he call upon the
American ambassador to furnish forth
with for the use of the Senate any evil
dence upon which that portion of his
speech was based wherein he is alleged
to have said that it added greatly to the
States in the building of the Panama
canal to know that the British would
profit most by it's use.
Senator Chamberlain asked for imme-
diate consideration OF MS resolution IL
was granted unanimously and the reSolu-
ton was passed without debate.
Speech Attributed to Mr. Page.
A press dispatch from London says that
Walter Hines Page. American ambassa-
dor, speaking last night at the annual
dinner of the Association of Chambers of
Commerce, assured the diners that the
United States has no intention to inter
fere with British investments in Central
America.
Il would like" Mr. Page said. to cor
rect the impression held by part of the
British press regarding the attitude of
the American government concerning the
investment of Great Britain's colossal
earnings in states of Central America
that have volcanic tendencies l have
sometimes read of the United States en-
tering upon policy to discourage for
eign investors. What the United States
was anxious to prevent was that In put
ting their money into these countries in
vestors should not get control of them.
THE Monroe doctrine simply meant
this-that the United states would prefer
that no European governments should
gain more land in the new world
Amid laughter Mn. Page declared that
he would not say that the United States
had constructed the Panama canal for
Great Britain, but that it had added
greatly to the pleasure of building that
great work TO know that the British
would profit most by its use.
