Mr. C. B. Robb, one of the best'
known firo Insurance special agents
in the state, was here ycBtcrday and
made a very careful examination of
local conditions with reference to pol
icies held by his company. Mr. Robb
said that the water pressure or An
derson wao sufficient, when the aux

what the city needs is a modern fire
alarm system. He was pleased to
know that the Public Utilities com
pany had offered last summer to put
In six Inch supplementary water
mains whenever their contract
should be renewed, and he declared
that when this" is done the city will
be well fixed for fires. Mr. Robb ex
amined the records of the pressure

and ho is satisfied that .n only one
case recently has there been insuf

of the telephone being out of fix and

ination Of
lor's Remarks
WALTER H. PAGE'S ADDRESS
IN LONDON RAISES
AN INQUIRY
SPEECH NOT CLEAR
Panama Canal and Monroe Doc
trine Were Subject* Under
Discussion ?
_
CHy Associated Press)
Washington, March 12.?Waller
Hincs Page, American ambassador to
Great Britain, .was made, the target ot
inquiry today in a resolution adopted
by the senate calling on the scerotary
of state to investigate alleged public
assertions by the ambassador relative
tlie the Monroe doctrine and tho Pane
ma canal, in a speech made in London
last night.
Later in the day a similar resolu
tion was introduced in tho bouse by
Murray, of Oklahoma, a democrat, but
it did not get before the body for dis
cussion or action.
There was no official comment or
action of the senate. In an informal
discussion at the white house how
ever. President Wilson Indicated that
tho Monroe doctrine was as much a
part ot tho American foreign policy
today as a hundred years ago. He did
not express an opinion concerning the
Amabssador's speech.
The Ki'naw resolution . had not
reached Secretary Bryan tonight. Ac
cording to custom. If Ambassador
Page does forestall the action by vol
untarily forwarding an explanation
of the incident, tho resolution w?! bs
cab?e? to him tomorrow, as soon as It
is sent to tlte state department.
Tho ambassador's remarks were ex
temporaneous and no vcrbltim re
ports were made. .
Tho most accurate report of his
speech was contained in tbe Dally
Telegraph from which the essential
rarfs uro quoted verbatim as follows:
: Tbe Ambu?sai!orV-Ri?mar&a
"Tho-people of the United States re
garded the British Empire jta ?J?e^
.gnarflian of freedom lh *ji poTtr<$n?e?
World and as a promoter of trade.
He would not say that the United
States hud constructed the Panama *
canal for-the British people, but it
added greatly to the pleasure ot
building It that the British people
would make the most profit out of
it.*
The ?mbas-ador gtoa?a? ?> say
that ho wished to correct' an Impres
sion about the attitude fef the ?.?sUsd
Stales government concerning British
investments in the states in Central
Americnt. There was no policy of the
American government that would dis
courage Investments or such conces
sions as would carry with them con
trol of the government ot any of
those states and only that.
"It Is not the business of tbe Unit
ed States to hinder any investments
anywhere in the world, provided only
that the investments are not made so
that they took the country with them
"The Monroe doctrine meant only
that no European power Should gain
any more load in the enw world." '
