WASHINGTON. Dec II. Members of
the diplomatic corps, especially repre
sentatives from the South American
countries, were greatly Interested In a
report reaching- Washington that ex
President Roosevelt and Dr. Marshall
Martinez, at one time Chilean Minister
to the United States, clashed In Santi
ago de Chile on account of divergent
views on the Monroe doctrine. The
Chilean is reported to have dissented
strongly from the Roosevelt view that
the much discussed doctrine is still a
vital issue.
The reported debate attracted un
vsual Interest here because both of the
prepared speeches were reviewed be
fore delivery by the Chilean Foreign
Office. Dr. Martinez, It was said to
night at the Chilean legation, was
elected because of his strong friendship
for the United States as the spokesman
of the Chilean government at the state
reception given the American visitor
recently at the University of Santiago.
Colonel' Ire Aroused.
In his address at the Roosevelt re
ception. Dr. Martlnes characterized the
Monroe doctrine as a dead Issue and
arguing that the conditions which gave
rise to Its promulgation by President
Monroe In ISiJ have almost entirely
disappeared.
This statement Is said to have
aroused the ire of Colonel Roosevelt,
who replied "WltTr-some" heat, trolding
that the Monroe doctrine still was a
vital principle of the foreign policy of
the United States. He is said, too, to
have- suggested to the Chilean diploma
tist Incidentally that it was ill-advised
on such an occasion to Inaugurate a
controversy.
Both Addresses Passed oa.
Then Colonel Roosevelt, according to
report, said that before he left the
United States the texts of the ad
dresses he proposed to deliver in Bra
sll, Argentina and Chile had been sub
mitted to the diplomatic representa
tives of those nations In Washington to
avoid the inclusion of anything that
might prove offensive to his hosts. To
this Dr. Martinez is said to have re
plied that hla own address had been
submitted to the Chilean Foreign Of
fice three days before Colonel Roose
velt's arrival and that as no objection
had been raised In that quarter he could
see no reason why the discussion of
the Monroe doctrine should be avoided
as a dangerous issue.
Nothing official has reached the
Chilean legation here concerning any
phase of what diplomatists are inclined
4 to consider a delicate situation.
Talleaa Minister at Loss.
"It Is true that the legation passed
upon Colonel Roosevelt's Santiago
speech-" said Chilean Minister Saures
tonight. "After reading it I had the
speech translated Into Spanish and for
warded It to the Foreign Minister. I
understood that Colonel Roosevelt's
speeches In Rio de Janeiro and Buenos
Ayres likewise were submitted to the
Brazilian and Argentine Foreign Offi
ces, as those addresses and the one de
livered in Santiago were to be his prin
cipal utterances during the South
American tour. I cannot understand
how an Issue could be raised between
Colonel Roosevelt and Dr. Martinez,
since the latter was selected to speak
In behalf of Chile on account of bis
well-known sympathy with the ideals
f the United Slates."
It s said that at the conclusion of
the Roosevelt reception a demonstra
tion against the American visitor was
niaJe by a small clique of Central
American students. The story goes that
as the Colonel left the university, the
students shouted. "Viva Colombia.- This
Incident, however, is understood in no
ay to have represented the general
feeling of the populace.

A motor launch has arrived here with
refugees from the rubber colony of
the Terrltorl de Amazona. Venezuela,
telling of "173 murders there In the
last few months and confirming sto
ries of atrocities brought here by
Michael J. Gilleran. an American refu
gee who had been ordered to be shot
and who escaped in a canoe, making
the trip here through several hundred
miles of the Rio Negro.
Refugees arriving here tell ofa reign
of terror and anarchy in the rubber
colony. A rebel force has been organ
ized under General Gonzales and all
who are suspected of being opposed to
him are shot.
Wsmen and Glrla Mardered.
The latest crimes Include the mur
der of eight women and four young
girls in the rubber territory between
San Fernando de Atabapo, on the Ori

the rebels.
Tale of Butchery Told.
Tlfe most atrocious murder was that
on May 8, last, of General Roberto Pu

story of this butchery.
"General Pulido was appointed Gov
ernor by President Gomes a few weeks
before," he safd. "The traders waited
on him and tried to make terms, but
he told them he would accept no
bribery, that "the export taxes would
have to be paid and that -lawlessness
must cease. From that minute he was
a marked man, as was General An

had sent to the colony in charge of

POLICE TO MINGLE
WITH GRILL GUESTS
New Year's Eve Edict
Issued by Albee.'
DECORUM TO BE REQUIRED
Official Eye Will Be Kept on
Sales of Liquor.
TABLE DANCING UNDER BAN
Code of Ethics for Occasion Not
Completed, but Major Will Draw
Distinction Between Ililarltj
and Disorderly Conduct.
Mayor Albee ' announced yesterday
that he will clamp the lid on the grills
and similar places in Portland New
Year's eve and that he will not tol
erate such scenes as he understands
have been enacted in some of these es
tablishments in years past.
Policemen will be posted in the grills
and other establishments where it has
been the custom for society to gather
and watch the old year out and the
new in. with instructions to keep order
and to allow no improper actions in any
event.
Seemly Conduct Demanded.
"I am determined that there shall
be no such scenes as I understand
have been enacted in some of the grills
in the past on New Tear's eves," said
the Mayor, commenting upon the forth
coming celebration. "I shall order
policemen to be at all of the grills and
such places as are planning these
events, with Instructions to keep strict
watch on the sale of liquors and the
conduct of those present. Further
more, I shall hold the proprietors of
these places to acccount for occur
rences in their establishments. I Intend
to see to it that the laws are obeyed
on this occasion."
Mayor Albee would not say whether
or not the policemen to be assigned to
the grills will be In uniform or .plain
clothes, but he was emphatic in saying
there will be' enough of them in each
place to see that the liquor laws and
other police regulations are enforced
strictly.
. Lane Precedent Followed.
This will be the first time in many
years that the police have interfered
with the gaiety of the festal occasion
of New Year's eve celebrations. When
Dr. Harry Lane, now Junior United
States Senator from Oregon, was May
or, in the iirst year of his reign, he
stationed policemen in the grills, but
this was before the custom took on
such hilarity as It has in more recent
years, and nothing special happened.
It had the effect, of .course, of keeping
considerable semblance of order and
during the remainder of his term these
events were somewhat "tame." He did
not post policemen again.
While Mayor Albee would not enter
into the details of his plans for main
taining order in the various grills on
New Year's eve, he did say that he will
rigidly enforce the law relative to the
sale of liquor, which will mean, for one
thing, that none of it may be sold to
the guests after 1 A. M. Thusday, Jan
uary 1, 1914.
Table Danclne Barred.
It is altogether likely, although this
is not authoritative, that drunkenness
will not bo permitted, as It has been on
some occasions In the past, when the
hilarity became so loud and the scenes
so animated that women climbed up on
the tables and danced, much to the sat
isfaction of their male companions.
Scenes of this sort are regarded by
some of the officials as constituting
disorderly ponduct. thereby subjecting
the participants to arrest and prosecu
tion, and it is believed that they will
be put under the ban of the Mayor,
who, later, will Issue orders to Chief
of Police Clark on Just what will and
will not be tolerated on the festal oc
casion in consideration.
Liquor Limit in Doubt.
Another moot question is as to how
much liquor champagne has been the
chief beverage in the past will be al
lowed to be sold In any of the grills.
Under the ordinance women are sup
posed to be served a complete meal
when served with Intoxicants and there
Is some question as to whether the pro
prietors may, without fear of arrest
and prosecution, dispose of unlimited
quantities to the guests, even with a
full meal.
All of these points will be worked out
by the Mayor before the night in ques
tion and it is not unlikely that the pro
prietors of the various grills will have
a consultation with him before JHe
eventful occasion, in order that an un
derstanding may be reached.
The forthcoming order of the Mayor
on the question of putting the I Id on
the gTill activity New Year's eve was
preceded by an order from him In
structing the proprietors of all such
places to keep cabaret performers off
the floors. This alone is expected to
aid In keeping things quieter.
