HOOT ROOSEVELT Colonel Has an Unpleasant "Experience in Chile. IN CLASH WITH DR. MARTIHEZ Washington Officials Are Anxiously Awaiting Authentic Reports of the Controversy in Santiago. Chile, Over the Monroe Doctrine—Former Minister Raises Ire of Roosevelt. WASHINGTON — The official reports are being eagerly awaited here of the clash between former President Roosevelt and Dr. Marcial Mantinez at Santiago, Chile, over the Monroe doctrine. Dr. Martinez, who was formerly minister to this country, is reported to have strongly dissented from the . Tfoosevelt view that the doctrine is | still a vital issue. It is said that at the conclusion of . the Roosevelt reception a demonstration against the American visitor was i made by students as he left the uni- ; v easily. Bath Speeches Officially O. K.’d. The debate attracted unusual interest here because both of the prepared speeches had been carefully reviewed by the Chilean foreign office. Dr. Mar- i tinez. it was said at the Chilean lega- I tion, was selected as spokesman of i the Chilean government at the state ' reception given the American visitor at the University of Santiago because of his warm friendship for the United States. in his address Dr, Martinez dealt with the Monroe doctrine, characterizing it as a dead issue and arguing that the conditions which gave rise to its promulgation by President Monroe in 1823 have almost entirely disap peared. Roosevelt's Ire Aroused. This statement is said to have aroused the ire of Colonel Roosevelt, who replied with some heat, holding that the Monroe doctrine still was a vital principle of the foreign policy of the United States. He is said to suggested to the Chilean diplomatist, incidentally, that it was ill-advised on such an occasion to inaugurate a controversy. Then Colonel Roosevelt, according to report, stated that .before leaving JJnitod States the text of the ad-1 dresses he proposed to deliver in Bra zil, Argentina and Chile had been submitted to the diplomatic representatives of those nations in Washington to avoid the inclusion of anything that might prove offensive to his hosts. Dr. Mantinez’s Reply. To this Dr. Martinez is said to have replied that his own address had been submitted to the Chilean foreign office three days before Colonel Roosevelt’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 dangerus issue. DEPOSITORS FIND ( BANK DOORS SHUT Plainfield, 111,, Institution Gloses Without Explanation. JOLIET, ILL.—The Plainfield (Ill.) bank, a private institution owned bv J. E.
