SAYS WILSON. ! POLICY OF Declares We Shall Try Confidence of Our Sister Republics Formal Statement Yesterday. | to Deserve in N Washington, March 11.—President ‘Wilson today issued this formal state- ment of his policy toward the Central and South American republics: “One of the chief objects of my ad- ministration will be to_cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence of our sister republics of Central and South America, and to promote in ev- ery proper and honorable way the in- terests which are common to the peo- ples of the two continents. I earnest- ly desire the most cordial understand- ing and co-operation betwen the peo- ples and leaders of America and there- fore deem it my duty to make this brief statement: “Co-operation is possible only when supported at every turn by the order- 1y processes of just government based upon law, not upon arbitrary of irreg- ular force. We hold, as I am sure all thoughtful leaders of republican gov- ernment everywhere holds, that just government rests always upon the con{ sent of the governed, and tnat there can be no freedom without order bas- ed upon law and upon the public con- sclence and approval. We shall look to make these principles the basis of mutual intercourse, respect and help- fulness between our sister republics and ourselves. No Sympathy With Self-Aggrandize- ment. “We shall lend our influence of ev- ery kind to the realization of these principles in fact and practice, know- ing that disorder,personal intrigue and defiance of constitutional rights weak- | en and discredit government and in- are unfortunate enough to have their common 1life and their common affairs 50 taintediand disturbed. We can have no sympathy with those who seek to seize the power of government 10 ad- vance their own personal interests or ambition, We are the friends of peace, but we lmow that there can be no 1asting or stable peace in such circum- stances.

A Disinterested Friendship. “From these principles may be so read so much of the future policy of this government as it is necessary now to forecast; and in the spirit of these principles I may, I hope, be permitted with as much confidence as earnest- nes to extend to the governments of all the republics of America the hand of genuine disinterested friendship and to pledge my own honor and the hon- or of my colleagues to every enter- prise of peace and amity that a for- tunate future may disclose.” Aimed at No Particular Country. The president took the above state- ment to the cabinet meeting today. He read it to the cabinet, which was in session for two hours. and issued it shortly afterward te the press, At the White House it was diselaim- ed that the statement was aimed at any particular country.

WANAMAKER PAYS THE GOVERNMENT $100,000. It Was Estimated Amount of Which Defrauded on Imports. ‘Washington, March 11.—John Wana- maker, the Philadelphta and New York merchant, has paid to the government $100,000 to settle sums which the treasury had been defrauded during the last 15 years through irregulas practices in the importation of mer- chandise. Treasury agents working up the in- vestigation were confronted with the difficulty of finding records for the en tire time involved, but upon the rec. ords of five years the government’ losses were approximated and a settle- ment voluntarily offered by Mr. Wana- maker was accepted as covering the entire period over which the practices extended. It was found that it had been the ractice of the customs examiner at hiladelphia to pass samples at no value or an intrinsic one, While the amount in each case was negligible compared with the volume of im- portations, in a perfod of years it amounted to a considerable sum. - At the treasury department it was sald today that no intent to defraua the customs had been ghown and Mr. Wanamaker co-operated inyevery way with the treasury officials to rea®h an estimate of the government’s loss.

Chairman William L. Chambers went into details with the witness con- cerning his living expenses. Bell stated that his grocery bill was from $25 to Firemen Share Responsibility. The witness described the rules which he sald virtually held the fire- man responsible with the engineer for the safety of the train. He clted an example where an -engineer and fire- man passed a blocked signal without Beeing it. Thoug;h mo accident re- sulted, he sald, the engineer was sus- pended for thirty days and the fire- man for two weeks. Firing Is Hot Work. Interesting testimony of the hard- ships of a fireman’s life, particularly in the summer time, s given by David May, a fireman. “Believe me, gentlemen, it's mighty hot on an engine in the summer,” he said. “One day last August I &sood on the footboard of my engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio and the ther mometer I had registered 120 degree: While passing through a tunnel near Airy, Md., the thermometer was actually burst by the heat.” A 76 Mile Run. Under these conditions May said he had to make a 76 mile run which fre- quently required from 10 to 15 hours, in _which much hard work was re- quired of the fireman, particularly as- cending Mt.
