Uniform Pensions Set Up.
The railroad pension bill, which
would have been disapproved auto
matically had not the President acted

tirement pay for the carriers Of the

for payments to all employees reaching

provides that no part of salary over
$400 a month shall be considered in
computing the average pay. The PEN

The United States struck today at

tined for the island.

Secretary Hull had urged this ac-
ton as part OF the good neighbor"
policy. He said the Cuban government
had approved.
In letter to the President. Hull h0
explained that unsettled conditions in
Cuba made it advisable to prohibit
American shipments OF munitions to
that country. No arms or munitions
shipments now may be made without
a license from the Secretary of State.
In the past. proclamations originat-
ing from the same authority have been
imposed on shipments to Brazil China

President Roosevelt. through its AM
bassador in Washington has expressed
to this Government its approval Of
this action. I feel that, in conformity
with our policy Of the good neighbor,
we should proceed accordingly.
THE laws of Cuba restrict the inn
portation of arms and munitions Of
all kinds by requiring an import per-
NIT for each shipment.

Contrary to reports in Washington,
President Roosevelt is not taking any
hand in the selection of successor
to DR.. William C. Fowler, health Off
Ger in the District of Columbia, who
reaches the retirement age Novem-
Der IA
Discussing these reports in his study
at his home here today, Mr.. Roosevelt
said the matter had never been brought
TO his attention. He made it plain
that while he always is interested
in the Capital City, he knew nothing
about Dr. Fowler or what is being
done in the way of getting some one
to succeed him.
Not Under His Charge.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he didn't know
the appointment of a health officer
for Washington came under him. He
was reminded that it did ~ but in
some quarters in Washington it was
rumored that he nah had become so
interested in the subject and that he
had asked the United State Public
Health Service to get the best man
available for the place" He was re-
minded also that the report went on
to say that the Public Health Service
is to appoint one of its own staff, for
assignment to the District Health De-
partment.
The President disposed of all these
rumors by saying they were news to
him.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated it is very
doubtful if he will have time while
