partments.
While the department of justice.

followers. Altogether there are De-
tween 5000 and $500 such Mexicans

WHAT PAGE SAID
American Ambassador Surprised at
Chamberlain Resolution.

Chamberlain Resolution.
London, March 13.--Mr. Page, the
American ambassador, in his speech
before the associated chambers of
commerce here, spoke eXtemporane-
ously. In regard to the Monroe doc
trine Mr. Page said he wished to cor
rect the impression about the atti-
tude of the United States concerning
British investments in Central Amer
lean states. He said that he some
times read that the United States
was entering on a policy OF discopr-
aging foreign investments. There
was policy forming in the mind Of
the American government, he said,
which was not new, that would dis
courage such investments or such
concessions as would carry with them
control Of the government of any Of
these states and only them. The Mon
roe doctrine, Mr. Page said, meant
only that no European government
should gain any more land in the
new world.
Ambassador Page was obviously
surprised on learning Of the introduc-
tion of Senator Chamberlain resolu-
tion in regard to his speech. He said:
II have not received any notification
of the action taken in the senate from
the secretary of state. If ! should
receive request from the state de-
partnent for an explanation Of the
details of my speech, will furnish it
10 the secretary Of state"

STARTS BIG
SUIT
THE CASE AGAINST THE NEW

YORK FEDERAL COURT,

New York, July 23.-~With the filing
today of it's civil suit TO dissolve the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad system here, the department
of justice cleared the way to press it's
request for indictments of New Haven
officials and directors for alleged
criminal violation of the Sherman an
ti-trust act. Attorney General Nc
Reynolds probably will be in New
York tomorrow and is expected to con-
fer with II. w. Gregory, his special as
sistant in the New Haven case, about
the proposed grand jury proceedings.
No federal grand jury is now in ses-
sion in New York and it was not re-
vealed tonight whether the depart
ment will wait until the next jury
meets early in August or summon Il
special grand jury for this case alone
Mr. Gregory and T.. M. SchWaeller,
former expert of the interstate eon-
n1erce commission, who helped to in
vestigatc the New Haven for the de
partment Of justice, are expected to
appear before the grand jury and pre-
sent the evidence on which indiet-
ments will be asked.
The civil suit begun today against
the New Haven charses that il is an
unlawful monopoly in RESTRAINT of
trade and asks the court to divest the
New Haven of its holdings in the
Boston and Maine railroad the old
New England railroad, its sound and
outside steamship lines. its wharves
and docks in New England, and other
properties which the pr1ef says We're
acquired to make paramount it's grasp
on New England's transportation.
The bill is sweeping in character and
if sustained by the courts, the New
Haven may be separated from SO
many of its subsidiaries that ii will
have little left but its lines from New
York to Boston.
The New Haven directors refused
to discuss the suit today. They have
20 days in which to file an answer
