President Says States Will Not
Guarantee Chinese or Other
Foreign Loans Made by
’ American Financiers
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. March 19.—Laying It
down in unmistakable terms that the
United States as a nation will not in
terfere, even remotely, with the internal
affairs of the Chinese republic, Presi
dent Wilson last night issued a state
ment declining to lend official support
to American participation in the “six
power” loan.
The statement is accepted in Wash
ington as overshadowing in importance
all else that has transpired at the
White House since President Wilson’s
inauguration. It has provoked end
less comment among statesmen and
diplomats and its deep international
conjecturing what the president’s atti
tude will have on the other powers that
are parties to the $125,000,000 loan.
The president’s statement is admit
tedly a document of rare composition
and is bound to take an important place
as a state paper. In this connection
there is guess work whether it was the
work of- Mr. Wilson, himself, or of
Secretary of State Bryan. It is under-
Heretofore, while presidents have been
consulted always by their premiers,
such announcements have usually come
from the secretary of state’s office.
Mr. Wilson’s open and active participa
tion in this matter has lent additional
strength to the document.
The statement in full. Is as follows:
“We are informed that at the re
quest of the last administration a cer
tain group of American bankers under
took to participate in the loan now de
sired by the government of China (ap
proximately $125,000,000.)
“Our government wished American
bankers to participate along with the
bankers of other nations Decause it de
sired that the good will of the United
States toward China should be exhibited
in this practical way that American
capital should have access to that great
country, and that the United States
The Joy Of

A Wonderful Remedy That is a.Natural
Aid and Relieves the Tension.
Mother’s Friend, a famous external rem
edy, is the only one known that is able to
reach all the different parts involved. It
is a penetrating application after the for
mula of a noted family doctor, and lubri
cates every muscle, nerve, tissue or tendon

should be in a position to share with
the other powers any political respon
sibility that might be associated with
the development of the foreign rela
tions of China in connection with her
industries and commercial enterprises.
“The present administration has
been asked by this group of bankers
whether it would also request them to
participate in tbe loan. The represen
tatives of the bankers through whom
the administration was approached de
clared that they would continue to see*
their share of the loan under the pro
posed agreements only if expressly re
quested to do so by the government.
The administration has declined to
make such request because it did hot
approve the conditions of the loan or
the implications of responsibility on
its own part, which it was plainly told
would be involved in the request.
“The conditions of the loan seem to
us to touch very nearly the adminis
trative independence of China itself,
stood that it was the joint product of
the two minds.
The essence of the administration’s
attitude is stated In the following
sentence:
“The responsibility on the part of our
government implied -in the encourage
ment of a loan thus secured and ad
ministered (through control of Chinese
taxes by foreign agents) is plain
enough and is obnoxious to the prin
cipal upon which the government of
our people rests.” .
The consensus as. crystallized today,
is that* the president’s stand will be
sustained, though it is conceded that
it will arouse the wrath of Wall street
and the adherents of that diplomacy,
which is branded as “dollar” or “Mor
gan diplomacy.”
The president’s principal objection
goes to the very fountain head of the
causes that led the revolt of the thir
teen original colonies against Great
Britain’s imposition of taxes.
Another element that adds interest to
the situation is the fact that the state
ment came not from the secretary of
he state, acocrding to old established
custom, but from the president himself,
and this administration does not feel
that it ought, even by implication, to
be a party to these conditions. The
responsibility on its part which would
be implied in requesting the bankers to
undertake the loan might conceivably
go to the length in some unhappy con
tingency of forcible interference in the
financial and even the political affairs
of that great oriental state just now
awakening to a consciousness of its
power and of its obligations to its
people.
“The conditions include not only the
pledging of particular taxes, some of
them antiquated and burdensome, to
secure the loan, but also the administra
tion of those taxes by foreign agents.
The responsibility on the part of our
government implied in the encourage
ment of a loan thus secured and ad
ministered is plain enough and is ob
noxious to the principles upon which
the government of our people rests.
“The government of the United
States is not only willing but earnest
ly desirous of aiding the great Chinese
people in every way that is consistent
with their untrammeled development
and its own immemorial principles. The
awakening of the people of China to
a consciousness of their possibilities
under free government is the most sig
nificant, if not the most momentous,
event of our generation. With this
movement and aspiration the Ameri
can people are in profound sympathy.
They certainly wish to participate, and
participate very generously, in opening

the scent ef her hair, and his ey6a wan*
dared eurieusiy ever h®r beautiful dress
until the flash of her jewelled finger*
held him in a stupor of childish amaze
ment. \
Hammersho watched her darkly from
the kitchen window. He could not
quite understand the fierce impulses of
her nature. Here was a woman who
had been separated * from her child for
five years, a woman who made no stir
to inquire after, the man she had mar
ried in good faith. . . . Now she
wept; he could hear sobbing plain.
This weeping, Hammersho told him
self, was the most degrading aspect of
western life. Nothing could be ac
complished with regrets, rejoicings, or
tears. Tashan! Those cakes were past
eating. The filthy English gas stoves
were ruinous!”
Bernice was talking softly to Imry
now. her back to the house, but the
fox-eyed little doctor followed each
movement and gesture. Imry was eas
ily won, he told himself, to allow this
runaway mother to kites and fondle
him. Children had no sense of right
or wrong. And, after all, the boy
had been brought up among ayahs and
ccolie house servants. No one had
thought fit to stiffen his baby courage
with advice. Now Hammersho had
known Japanese boys who would, under
the circumstances and with proper tui
tion, have scorned to be reconciled.
Bernice came towar.d the house, lead
ing Imry by the hand. Her face was
set, her lips tight drawn. Dr. Ham
mersho held the door for her to enter.
“Imry is a good boy.” He patted
the little fellow’s head affectionately.
“He must go from here with me,
Dr. Hammersho,” she said quietly.
“W eshall never again be separated.”
He looked at her - under his black
brows. “My opinion must be heard in
that arrangement, madame.”
“Imry belongs to me, Dr. Hammer
sho. No tribunal of justice will deny
me that. Although,” her voice grew
inexpressionably tender “I am willing
to listen to you on any point concern
ing his welfare.”
The Japanese doctor stood rigid as
bronze in the doorway, his small hands
resting on his hips. Then with a shrug
he beckoned toward the stairs.
She followed him instinctively to a
windowless corridor that led to a small
room overlooking the garden. The door
was shut, but the Jap doctor thrust it
open quickly, silently.
“Look,” he said, his black fingers in
dicating something that sprawled on an
old camp bed in a far corner of the
room. “The pipe has not made him
strong, Madame Kromer. It has
sapped his forces and left him cloudy
in the head.”
Bernice stared with a stifled sob at
the gaunt, inanimate figure on the bed,
the sunken eyes, and parched skin of
the once handsome sea captain. His
clothes were ragged almost beyond de
scription, his whole physical exterior
hinted at unendurable privations and
hardships.
“You see, he is beyond advice or
help,” the doctor went on. “I am,
therefore, the only person likely to be
encumbered with him—unless,” he
glanced insinuatingly at Bernice.
She nodded with her head to the
window as one who dared not dook
twice upon the figure with the slack
mouth and almost lifeless hands.
“You desire me to help you?” she vol
unteered tremulously.
He considered her in the full light
of the open window, dispassionately,
critically. “You have a friend named
Caleret,” he said after a while, “the
man who is at present engaging the
attention of European scientists.”
Bernice regarded him in open-eyed

amazement. “Prof. Caleret is my
friend,” she admitted and was silent.
Hammersho’s lips twitched. “I have
no medical friends in this country.
You shall help me to acquire some.
Let us, therefore, beg-in with Caleret.”
“You wish to—”
“Know him, madame! That is why
I came to you. Iam passionately fond
of research work. To pursue my stud
ies I must have friends like Caleret. You
will introduce us. There should be no
difficulty in that.” He lit a cigarette
and stared at her over the twining smoke
wreaths. %
Bernice had taken Imry in her arms
and was listening now to his quiet
breathing, the beating of his childish
heart against her own. To her Dr,
Hammersho’s request seemed difficult.
She could not understand his reason for
meeting the French professor. The
proposition was fraught with peril and
some consequences to herself.
Hammersho’s vpice broke upon her
with reassuring insistence. “I do not
ask money from you, Madame Kromer,
Although my relations with Captain En-
gleheart might warrant a demand on
your purse. In return for attention
rendered to that”—he made an impatient
gesture toward the bed—“I merely ask
you to introduce me personally to Cal
eret. I desire to ask him one or two
i questions relating to an experiment of
my own in radio-therapy. His advice
may save me years of fruitless labor!”
Bernice was impressed by his request.
She had come to his house expecting im
mediate demands for money under
threats of exposure. The ceremony of
introducing the little Japanese doctor to
Jean Caleret could be arranged without
trouble. She decided, after a brief
study of the situation, to grant his re
quest.
Her chief concern now was with Imry.
What was she to do with him? She
was not yet prepared to confide the story
of Engleheart’s return to Fabian. Yet,
sooner than separate herself from Imry
she was prepared to leave Holmwooa
and all that it counted for.
The Japanese doctor led the way
back to the front room, and with his
hand on the front door addressed her
briefly. \
“Have care, madame, how your af
fections guide you. Think well before
you leave this house with Imry. Here
there is shelter for him until your mind
is quite clear in regard to his future.
One inopportune word and you may
find yourself at war with this Kromer.
I know these American husbands. They
cannot endure tension. So . . .”
She paused as one caressing each
moment of life. To go through the
town with Imry would be to risk meet
ing some member of her household, or
Fabian himself driving home to lunch.
The Japanese doctor was right. Noth
ing would be gained by a passionate
display of affection toward her little
son. Tomorrow, if given time, she
might fix upon some private establish
ment near Chiltonhurst where Imry
could be sent to school. There were
dozens in the vicinity. Once settled near
her she could see him at all times and
indulge her maternal instincts to the
full.
She pressed the boy tightly in her
arms. “Will you stay another day
with Dr. Hammersho, Imry, dear? I
will come tomorrow in my car and
take you near my home, where you will
be happy.”
The boy nodded gravely, while * the
doctor sighed in evident relief. “You
are wise, madame. Tomorrow I shall
expect to meet Caleret. Good-by.”
Bernice, with fluttering lips kissed
Imry, and then, in fear lest he should
call her back, hurried from the house.
CHAPTER IV.
The ordeal of presenting Dr. Ham
mersho to Professor Caleret provesd less
difficult than Bernice had imagined.
The French savant appeared delighted
to meet a visitor from the east.
Dr. Hammersho, during the inter
view, expressed a desire to visit Cal-
eret’s now famous laboratory and to
bo shown, if possible, the single grain
of zeu which had cost ten years of un
remitting labor to produce. The Jap
anese doctor had contrived to smarten
his appearance before meeting Bernice
in the morning. He wore a frock coat
of fashionable cut, while his creased
pants and silk bat gave him the air
of a man of fashion.
Prof. Calaret although reticent
concerning the methods employed in
producing his new element, appeared
wililng to gratify Dr. Hammersho’s
curiosity. Bernice left them together
and returned home in haste. The task
of finding a school near Chiltonhurst
for Imry was a matter requiring some
tact. Her name counted for so much
in the district that Imry’s stay at any
of the local kindergartens would oc
casion much comment. Yet she had
discovered in the last few hours that
life without her little son would be
bleak and empty. He must be near
her no matter the consequences. All
the art and culture which Fabian had
gathered round her could not usurp
Imry’s place in her mind.'
She found Fabian in the conservatory
with the head gardener* inspecting a new
collection of Queensland orchids. Some
pots had 1 been broken in transit, a few
bulbs damaged. The gardener was full
of depressing explanatiohs.
Bernice noted an almost sudden droop
ing of Fabian’s shoulders as thsy walked
across the lawn. His face had lost its
usual brightness. Above all, he ap
peared anxious to avoid all references to
his state of health.
“I think you ought to see a Harley
street specialist, dear,” Bernice prompt
ed, her arm linked tightly in his. “We’ve
been going the pace this season, and
the fiend dyspepsia will not be denied.”
They sat on a little seat away from
the house under a monarch oak, where
the wind had scattered a tribute of white
blossom over lawn and drive.
“I don’t think a Harley street special
ist is going to brighten me much, Berny.
A little devil of some kind has taken up
his ©abode here!” Fabian tapped his
right side suggestively.
“But . . . you never told me, dear!”
“One doesn’t care to make unfounded
statements, Berny. I ought to tell you
that I have an appointment with Roch-
warne at midday tomorrow.
“Here—at the house?”
“No, at Caleret’s, Anyway, there’s
nothing serious to worry about. The
professor, after his recent tests, believes
that his half-god will drive out my lit
tle devil. It’s a relief, Berny, to know
that science can grapple with some of
the ills of life!”
His eyes had grown luminous again,
color came to his cheeks. Bernice did
not press him further. For months
past she had detected a gradual change
in his manner, the sudden passing from
pleasant topics to silence and unaccoun
table fits of depression.
For the first time in many weeks they
lunched alone. Bernice found herself
watching him covertly as he • ate ana
talked. Of wine he took none, content
ing himself with copious draughts from
the water carafe.
Bernice was moved between two wheels
of emotion. Fabian hated sentiment tn
regard to himself and constantly evaded
all mention of possible danger with the
mysterious “devil” in his right side. She
second wheel of thought flew round Imry
in Dr. Hammersho’s house. She could
not tell Fabian in his present state what
she had kept secret for so long. She
must wait until Rochwarne had pro
claimed upon the “devil.”
It came upon her now how gurrep-

titiously the veil of tragedy descends
upon rich and poor alike. In the
morning a breadwinner admitted of a
pain in his chest or head. In the
evening a doctor pronounces sentence
of death. It was precisely the same
with the rich. The man might own
Babylons of palaces and land, but the
garnered wealth* of innumerable argo
sies could not dispel the unconquerable
germ.
The mother and the wife transcended
every thought in Bernice’s mind. To
preserve both she was reads’” to suffer
die. She could not believe that Fabian
was in serious danger. He was not
thirty. She noted his strong white
hands and sinewy wrists as he turned
a heavy chair to the window. The gust
of red still remained in his cheeks. In
face and carriage he was handsomer
than ’any other man she had known.
Nothing must .separate them. In a little
while she might speak of Imry. Fabian
was not unjust and would surely sym
pathize with her, since he knew of her
unhappy life with Engleheart.
Fabian passed the afternoon with his
head gardener, while Bernice,* accom
panied by her maid, ventured out in
her De Dion on a small round of visits.
The first was to Miss Allingham-8
kindergarten. Miss Allingham fas fif*.
ty and reminded Bernice of a benevo
lent lynx. Was it a boy or a girl
that her esteemed patroness wished to
place in her charge, she inquired. Was
the dear little one related to her emi
nent patroness? If so, his coming
would shed a lustre on ner select but
unworthy establishment.
Bernice held off like, one playing with
fire, offering no information that might
lead to a straight out confession of
her relationship to Imry. Apart fron»
the lynx visaged principal the estab
lishment presented many admirable fea
tures which appealed to Bernice. Spa
cious grounds and airy rooms with half
a score of healthy, wen dressed chil
dren playing o n the lawns almost de
cided her. As an afterthought, how
ever, she promised to call the follow
ing day. Miss Allingham was de
lighted.
At 4 in the afternoon Bernice re
turned home. Fabian was still in the
gardener’s clutches, and as she passed
the conservatory window she caught a
glimpse of his stooping shoulders. The
gusty red had left his cheeks. He ap
peared to be brooding over an orchid-
covered bench, breathing at intervals
lik© one in extreme pain.

GOLDEN RULE CHIEF CONVICTED
OF IMMORALITY AND DISMISSED
Fred Kohler Is Dropped From
Cleveland’s Police After 24
Years in Service-Was Chief
Ten Years
(Ey Associated Press.)
CLEVELAND, O., March 18.—’The civil
service commission last night announc
ed that they had found Fred Kohler,
“golden rule” chief of police, guilty of
“gross immorality, conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman and conduct
subversive to good order and discipline
in the police department” and immedi
ately discharged him from office.
The charges were filed by Mayor Ba
ker and the trial of the chief occupied
the whole of last week.
The charges involved alleged visits
of Kohler to the home of Mrs. May
Schearer on February 2, May 23 and
June 5, 1912, in the absence of her
husband. On the last named date
Schearer testified in the trial that he
surprised Kohler and his wife in the
Schearer home.
Kohler attempted to prove alibis for
the first two dates and declared his
mission “on the night of June 5, 1912,
was an innocent one.” Schearer got a
divorce from his wife in a suit in
which Kohler was named.
“We should add to the sentence a
permit to this officer to receive a full
pension to which a retired officer is
entitled in view of the term and char
acter of his service, but we are with
out power to do so,” said the commis
sion.
In a statement issued last night
Kohler indicated his willingness to re
sign if allowed to receive his full pen- *
sion of $125 a month. If discharged
his pension would be $65 a month.
Kohler is forty-nine years old, and has
been a member of the police department
for twenty-four years and chief for ten
years. His policy of “golden ruling” first
offenders and minor offenders has made
him one of the best-known police chiefs*
in the country. The title of “best chief
in America” was conferred on him by
Theodore Roosevelt on the occasion of
one of the former president’s visits to
Cleveland.
The commission’s decision praises
Kohler’s work as police chief, and
says that “while in other cities police
officers have been guilty of corruption
and extortion, Frederick Kohler is a
poor man.” Three years ago Kohler
was tried and acquitted by the civil
service commission on charges of
drunkenness and personal misconduct
in office.
Woman’s Beauty is
Based on Health
RECOVERS HER REASON
AFTER NINETEEN YEARS
Nineteen years ago Mrs. Carrie Belk
Jordan, of 23 Oliver street, lost her rea
son just two weeks after her baby
daughter was born. Monday, after an
operation, she suddenly recovered her
reason, and found her baby daughter
grown, married, and the mother of two
children.
Mrs. Jordan can hardly believe that
her baby girl is now the mother of chil
dren and that she herself is a grand
mother.
Mrs. Jordan’s recovery is considered
a remarkable feat of surgery. For nine
teen years she had been without reason.
The latter part of February she was
operated on, but the operation was with
out immediate effect.
On Monday she recovered her reason
without warning, and her cries of joy
notified the attendants of the Red Cross
hospital, on Cooper street, of her sud
den recovery. Dr. W. B. Lingo per
formed the operation.

denial of charges that he attempted
improper influences during the recent
balloting for United States senator,
was made by Representative Clifford L.
Snow today.
Gordon Woodbury, who was a candi
date against United States Senator Hen
ry F. Hollis, told a legislative inves
tigating committee yesterday that Snow
offered to deliver five votes for Wood
bury for $1,000. Two other witnesses
gave testimony reflecting upon Snow.

To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
Necessary—-How Best
to Obtain it
If v/oman’s beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a pic
ture of loveliness. But beauty lies deep
er than that. It lies in health. In the
majority of cases the basis of health,
and the cause of sickness, can be traced
to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the sal
low skin and the lusterlass eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods be
cause the foods are served daintily and
they do not exercise enough. But what
ever the particular cause may be it is
important that the condition should be
corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re
quirements, is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep
sin, which thousands of women endorse
highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker, 1041
West Monroe St., Chicago, testifies that
she is “cured of grave stomach and
bowel troubles by using Syrup Pepsin
and without the aid of a doctor or any
other medicine.” All the family can
use Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of
mothers give it to babies and children.
It is also admirably suited to the re
quirements of elderly people, in fact to
all who by reason of age or infirmity
cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics,
pills or purgatives. These should al
ways be avoided for at best their effect
is only for that day, while a genuine
remedy like Syrup Pepsin acts mildly
but permanently.
MBS. JENNIE SNEDEKER.
It can be conveniently obtained at any
drug store at fifty cents or one dollar

without it.

used Syrup Pepsin and you would like

buying it in the regular way of a drug
gist, send your address—a postal will
