gan 4.0 wiggle between the goal posts, j
bat the Yale team never did get !
started.
Yale was outwitted as we'l as out- !
-,;ayed in all four quarters. Their '.
n'.ay was tragically reminiscent of the '
play of last year's splendidly obsoletj

Wins by Two Touchdowns
Princeton won by the margin of two ?
?uchdowns, one scored on an ancient ;
trick worked in the old days by Coy !
and Tad Jones, the othci\on a fumbled !
punt recovered by Mike Callahan, a !
:ie!d goal r.r.d a goal from placement, i
But the superiority of the Princeton
team was even more than the arith- ,
metic shows. The Tiger cubs were
ripping up the Yale line as their jun- I
g!e namesakes might rip into a herd of j
"?jogged and angry buffaloes.
It was a spect'icular thing, that first !
touchdown. It came at the end of the j
?;?cond quarter with less than a min- :
-te to play. Lourie droppe;! back as !
though to hold the ball for Keck, who |
aade a feint at a kick from place- i
ment. Lourie got the ball and* stooped |
as thoueh to hold it. Then the Prince- !
:on quarter jumped up and skirted the ?
Vale right end and Keck plunged out !
ahead of him.
Play Bewilders Yale Team
The suddenness oi' the manner !
eemed to bewilder the men in Blue. ;
Ihey blinked and scattered, one oi !
ihem following Lourie at a lumbering
pace. He might have stopped him if j
ha had I'.uried himself forward, but he
'.?ply trailed in a dazed fashion as j
??ourie skimmed along the side lines
nd slut over for a touchdown.
This must have been a sight to drive
fad Jones frantic. It^vas one of the ?
Id tricks at which he had been an
j'.'pt and it came back on him. It
eemed to settle the fate of the Yale '
team right there and there. When
Keck kicked the goal it made the score
tcn to nothing., with a field goal ?cored
> Murrey.
The way to the first field goal was
?arle by the uncertainty of the Yale
cam, Stopped by the Yale men at
"ar mldfield, Princeton was forced to :
punt. ?Scheeror punted high toward the
Yale goal line. The ball dropped just
jen yard-, short of it and the Yale
wcks waited for it to roll across the
foe for a touchback. But the ball
'cok- a queer twist and rolled outside
n the Blue one-yard line.
There was nothing to do then but to
?ave Thome Murphy punt out from
behind the Yale goal line, and with the
nncoton forwards always crashing
Trough lie could get it out only about
?-Aenty-eight yards. There Yale held

Callahan Scores on Fumble

Police to Stop
All Autos and
Hunt Defects
New Order Aims to Limit
Accidents and Also to Put
a Stop to Wholesale Steal?
ing of Cars in the Citv
Rule in Effect To-day!
Machines Found Out of Or?
der Will Be Sent to Ga-!
rages To Be Repaired
A -wholesale inspection of automo- i
biles driven through the streets of the j
city, as well as those entering the city, i
will be made by the police beginning ?
to-morrow and lasting until December j
6. The crusade, as announced by Po- !
lice Commissioner Enright yesterday, I
is undertaken for the purpose of les- !
sening automobile accidents through
the discovery of faulty machines. It ?
also is expected that many stolen cars !
will be found and returned to their ?
owners.
Every car will be held up to see that
it is in good working order and in
the hands of its rightful owner. Com- I
plaints in regard to stolen automobiles !
have almost reached the stage ?f an '
epidemic recently, according to police !
officials.
Commissioner Enright and Chief In-i
spector Lahey summoned 370 captains,
inspectors and sergeants to Police !
Headquarters, where the plan was ex- '
plained to them and the order issued
to use every policeman throughout the
city for the work. Drivers of cars
which have passed inspection will re?
ceive a card to paste on their wind?
shields so the inspection will not be
duplicated. It looks like a banner
three weeks for the automobile repair
men, for every machine found to be
faulty will be sent to a garage for
repairs and the owner will pay the
bills.
Every policenran on patrol duty is
instructed to stop all cars and look
them over, noting the make, angine,
number of engine and car, color of the
body, seating cr.pacity, owner's name,
driver's name, and a few other details,
which will be incorporated in a report.
Where only minor faults are found in
j the mechanism the patrolman will only
take the name of ?he owner and num?
ber of the car, and allow the car to
proceed on its way. Later he will re
1 port the defective mechanism to Head?
quarters, and a mechanic will be sent
to make a thorough inspection of the
car and order such repairs as he thinks
art; needed in the interest of public
safety. Where serious defects are
I'ounot the driver will be ordered to
, take the car to a garage immediately.
The patrolman examining the auto
, mobi'e will also hand to the chauffeur
; a book containing the motor laws and
? the traffic regulations of the Police
' Department. Across the cover of this
; book is the Biblical injunction, "Thou
: shalt not kill." The book also con
I tains several "dont's" for the guidance
! of automobile drivers. Included among
: them are:
"Remember the A B C of the motor?
ist?always be careful.
"Slow down at street intersections.
"Examine your brakes and steering
gear before leaving your garage.
"Chains and other non-skid devices
; save accidents.
I "Parking your car for hours means
? a summons and the loss of time and
i money. ,
1 "Do not use horns or sound devices
that make unnecessary noise and annoy
?sick and nervous people and horses.
j "Learn the band signals."

Of City Graft

mate Board Lockwood
Committee Cannot Un?

Material Combine
Probe Next Move
Unlikely Mayor Will Bej
Recalled* in Investiga?
tion Into Labor Phase
The Lockwood legislative investigat?
ing committee wijl not undertake an
inquiry into the city government or
any of its contracts for alleged graft.
This whs announced last nicht by a
high official representing the commit?
tee. Its decision on this point will be
placed before the Board of Estimate
to-morrow morning by Samuel Unter?
myer, chief counsel of the committee,
when he confers with the board on the
question of eliminating crookedness in
city contracts wherever found.
The Board of Estimate will be told
thBt the city government has ample
facilities to protect itself according to
law under the three departments that
are organized for the purpose. The
entire $60,000,000 worth of contracts
now outstanding wjth tiie city can be
fully investigated by the departments
of Finance and Law and the Commis?
sioner of Accounts.
S*ys It Is City Task
The committee is of the opinion that
the task of investigating schoolhouse
ind other contracta should be under?
taken by the city, For the committee
itself to undertake this work would
mean that the purpose for which the
committee was constituted would have
to be sidetracked. Under these cir?
cumstances, it is understood that the
Mayor will not be called again as a
?vitnes-s. He will be permitted to tes?
tify if he so desires, and be may be
nsked again should any particular evi?
dence obtained during the investigation
warrant his being questioned, but the
present purpose of the committee is
not to recall him.
The committed will be convened
Wednesday morning and continue
hearings Thursday and i'riday of this
week. It is expected that the labor
phase of the investigation, dealing
chiefly with the activities of Robert P.
Brindell and his Building Trades Coun?
cil, will be completed thon.
The next thing to be taken up by
the committee will be the investigation
into the alleged building materials
trust. The committee's case against
the alleged trust has been in the hands
of Leonard M, Wallstein, associate
counsel, for some time. Mi'. Wallstein
has been preparing evidence for the
committee, and although he ^ would
make no comment yesterday he ad?
mitted that it was well advanced.
i . While the Lockwood committee will
refuse to investigate city contracts, it
was said that the committee will gladly
put at the disposal of the city govern?
ment any and all evidence it has pro?
cured regarding illegal practices con?
nected with city contracts.
Collusion Believed Exposed
The ei'idence already shows thai
? there has been collusion in bidding foi
; city contracts, both on the new court
; house and the public schools, so far a;
I limestone, ventilating, steam heating
:,and plumbing are concerned. It shows
! that in the contracts fo?* forty-ont
schools limestone was substituted foi
: terra cotta at an increased cost o
' ?;4,000 for each school, or a total in
[ crease to the city taxpayers of $164,00(
for the entire school contracts.
The evidence does noi show hov
much the limestone contracts actually
cost the city after .lohn T. Ilettrick
lawyer for the limestone group, sue
ceeded in getting the contracts change?
'from terra cotta to limestone. This i:
a phase of the investigation the com
; mittee is of the opinion that the city i
'? well able to continue.
It was pointed out that if the com
mittee were to continue the investiga
1 tion into the city contracts it woul
take at least twenty further sitting!
and the main work o' the committe
i would suffer in consequence. The com
mittee began the investigation into th>
schoolhouse contracts chiefly to shoi
the complete ramifications of the Ilet
trick group of contractors and also t

Coal Prices
Go Up While
City Shivers
Low Temperature Brings on
Acute Shortage of Fuel
and the Profiteers Seize!
Chance to Make Killing;
Charge $20 Ton in Bronx
Health Department Gets j
700 Tenants' Complaints;
Relief Seen by Wednesday i
- |
Cold weather has precipitated the
acute coal shortage in New York fore- !
cast by students of the fuel situation j
a month ago, while an enormous ton- !
nage that might have been diverted to !
relieve the crisis in this market still i
was being sold for Canadian shipment
at premium prices.
The falling temperature also has
been seized upon by local dealers as
an excuse to advance the price of an- ?
thracite, it was revealed yesterday by !
Joseph M\ Lonergan, chief sanitary in- ;
spoctor of the Health Department, i
Within the last twenty-four hours, he j
said, the average price in Manhattan ?
has risen from $13.75 to $14.75 a ton,
while in Brooklyn and the Bronx it. has !
been increased to from $17 to $20 a
ton. j
More serious ths-.n the rising prices,
however, is the inability of many
householders to obtain fuel at any cost.
By noon yesterday the Health Depart?
ment had been deluged by 700 com?
plaints of insufficient heat and many
more that no coal was obtainable. Dr.
Boyal S. Copeland, Health Commis?
sioner, characterized the condition as
woeful. He sent a telegram to Edward
Clark, chairman of the interstate Com?
merce Commission, urging priority
shipments of domestic sizes to relieve
the critical situation.
Can't Investigate All Complaints
"So rapidly have complaints been
piling up," said Mr. Lonergan, "that it
has been impossible to investigate them
all. In many cases, however, we have
found that people unable to get do
I mestic coal are making shift with
i briquettes, a fuel substunce manufac?
1 tured from coal dust, coke and p
and rice gizes of anthracite, which ari
entirely too small for satisfactory
; household use."
Harry E, Lewis, District Attorney of
Kings County, who has been active in
1 the crusade against coal profiteering,
said he had received numerous com?
plaints of suffering for lack of fuel.
: In some reported instances, he said,
'. illness has been aggravated by the
shortage.
John F. Bermingham, president of
the Delaware, Lackawfinna and Western
? Coal Company and chairman of an
1 emergency committee of operators or?
ganized Friday, declared every effort
' is being made to relieve the shortage,
i und predicted that by Wednesday or
', Thursday enough coal to care for the
j i.ity's immediate wants would be avail
\ able. An enormous tonnage, he as
I sertcd, already is in transit.
j The committee of which Mr. Ber
' minprham is the head was formed in
?continuation of the policy set forth by
the anthracite coal producers at a
meeting in Philadelphia last week. Its
'special province is to define a means of

Daniels Orders Cadets Ousted
To Check Hazing at Annapolis
?'rri.ii The Tribune's Washington Bureau
, WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. --Wide
1 ??prend expulsion of midshipmen at the
Naval Academy at, Annapolis was
| threatened to-day by Secretary of the
| Navy Daniels if hazing does not cease ?
! ut the institution.
Orders were issued to Rear Admiral j
I A. H. S,cales, commandant Of the Acad- '
i oniy, to enforce the strictest discipline I
nnd stamp out a spirit of disobedience i
that has developed. Admiral Scales i
was informed that the Navy Depart- '
ment would sustain him if the banish?
ment of moro than half the cadets
there were iequired to restore good
order among the students.
"I would rather have 800 men at
j Annapolis who can obey orders than '
",200 who cannot," Secretary Daniels
i said. "When I came into the Navy
?Department there were only 800 stu- ?
dents at the Academy. Although there !
are 2,200 now, the navy would survive ,
if the number were reduced to 800
again. The presence of insubordinate
| midshipmen :s not desired. They are
I tent, to the Naval Academy to learn
j obedience. No man who cannot obey
is capable of commanding men."
One midshipman already has been
dismissed for participation in hazing.
I Other hazing eases are under investi?
gation by boards of inquiry named by
| Admiral ScnlOB, The findings of these
I ! oot?U, cvvirij U they recommend expul
, i
:.ion of students, will be supported by
the department, Mr. Daniels said.
Special Dispatch to The Tribuna
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 13.?The re- ?
pprts of the boards investigating
hazing at the Military Academy, which
are- now in the hands of Secretary
Daniels, are understood to recommend
the dismissal of certain midshipmen, ',
with the alternative of standing trial i
before a court martial.
For several days the middies havo |
been on good behavior, hoping to pre- ;
vent the rumor that none of them is I
to be allowed to go to New York for
the Army-Navy football game from be?
coming a fact through some overt act.
It has been reported on the academy
grounds that Hear Admiral Scales was
considering this form of punishment.
Orders have already been posted that
only plebes will have liberty on
Thanksgiving Day, Upper classmen
will be restricted to the academy
grounds.
The hazing troubles at the neighbor?
ing institution of St. John's College,
which had threatened to culminate in
n strike of the student body, neared
solutionu to-day in a conference between
Governor Ritchie of Maryland and
members of the governing board of tho
school, A compromise was reached un?
der which the authorities will allow
sophomores to frame rules for fresh?
man conduct, providing these ar?' not
humiliating and that no hazing is In?
dulged in.

PARIS, Nov. If!.?General Wrangel.
anti-Bolshevik leader in^South Russia,
whose army has been crushed, left Se
bastopol For Constantinople to-day, ac?
cording to reports reaching Pari? to?
night.
The whole Wrangel government is in
a state of collapse, in the opinion of
French military experts. The powerful
defences at Perekop, established months
ago, were abandoned after only thirty
six hours of fighting, according to re?
ports, the weakened and demoralized
South Russian army giving way before
the Bolshevik attack.
From The Tribune'* European Bureau
Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Nov. 13.?British and
French warships left Constantinople to?
day for Sebastopol, where the situation
id desperate. The nnti-Bolshevik
armies of General Wrangel have met
overwhelming disaster. The Crimea is
being evacuated, and 80,000 refugees in
Sebastopol are awaiting ships to carrry
them out of the country.
The fii-#b boatloads of these refugees
already have begun to reach Constanti?
nople, but none has been allowed to
land there, because the already con?
gested conditions in that city prevent
the accommodation of tho refugees
The plight of these unfortunate per?
sons is serious. France has been ap?
pealed to to offer them asylum in Al
giers.
Although London has received onlj
unofficial reports of the d?b?cle- in Gen*
eral Wrangel's army, the seriousness
of his reverses is admitted. In gov
ernment circles it has been known foi
some time that his position was bad.
Whether the warships dispatchec
from Constantinople are to coop?r?t?
with the remnants of Wrangel's arm;
against the advancing Reds, or ari
merely to assist in carrying away ref
ugees from the stricken country, couli
not be determined In London to-night
It was said, also, that Great Britaii
feels that the extension of the Re>
movement southward into the Caucasu
and the reported union of the Bolshe
viki and Mustapha Kemal, the Nation
alist leader, may endanger her inter
ests in Mesopotamia, Palestine and in
dia. The government, however, is no
expected to take action as long as th
Crimea is the center of the Bolshevi
campaign.
Perekop Defenses Pierced
According to reports of the Bolshevi
success reaching London, the Re
armies opposed to Wrangel have broke
through his defenses south of Pereko;
which had fallen :nto their hands i
earlier fighting.
General Townshend, the defend?
of Kut-el-Amara, who was taken pri
oner by the Turks in the war, has bee
asked by General Wrangel to come i
once to the Crimea and take acti'
command of the anii-Boishevik force
General Townshend announced to-d:
that he would accept the invitation
he were unsuccessful in his candidai
for Parliament as the member fro
Wrekin. His election, however, is gc
erally considered probable.
The collapse of Wrangel's army ai
the extension of the Bolshevik ti
southward through the Caucasus ho
potentialities of forcing a change
Great Britain's attitude toward tra
ing with Russia. A continuation
the Bolshevik policy, it is said, wou
be contrary to the spirit, if not the 1?
ter, of Moscow's promise to absta
from spreading Russian propaganda
other countries.
Postponement of action on the tra
agreement when it comes before t
Cabinet next week is now confident
expected. The government is und?

U. S. Minister Accused
By Haytian President;
Congress Asked to Act
Senators May I
Reject New
Ship Board;
Wilson Names New Tri-!
bunal With Benson asi
Head; Criticism Direct?
ed at Three Republicans ;
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13?The long
delayed appointment of a new Ship?
ping Board, with Admiral William S.
Benson reappointed as chairman, was
announced to-day at the White House.
Admiral Benson announced that the !
members would organize without de?
lay and start serving as recess ap?
pointees before December 1.
In addition to Admiral Benson, who
was named as a Democrat from Geor- I
gia, for a term of six years, the mem- ?
bera aro:
Frederick I. Thompson, Alabama,
Democrat, five years.
Joseph N. Teal, Oregon, Democrat, ;
four years.
John A. Donald, New York, Democrat,
three years.
Chester H. Rowell, California, Re- !
publican, two years.
Guy D. Goff, Wisconsin, Republican,
one year.
Charles Sutter, Missouri, Republican,
one year.
The make-up of the new board met
with immediate criticism, and predic?
tions were freely made that the Senate
will not confirm the appointments. Es?
pecial criticism was directed against
the three named as Republican mem?
bers. The Jones shipping act requires
that not more than four of the seven
members shall be of one political party.
Cheater H. Rowell, it was pointed out,
supported Governor Cox. H" formerly
was an ardent friend and political asso?
ciate of Senator Hiram W. Johnson,
of California. He was once Republi?
can National Committeeman from Cal?
ifornia, and became Progressive Na?
tional Committeeman in 1912.
He re?ntered the Republican party
in 1916, but remained inactive during
the early stages of the recent cam?
paign. Two weeks before election he
sold his newspaper at Fresno, Calif.,
which was a Republican organ, and
came out for Governor Cox.
Mr ' ? is unknown to Republican
leadei-. in Washington, and Mr. Sutter
was described as a St. Louis business
man who has never been very active in
the Republican party. Mr. Golf Is now
general counsel of the board and is a
.son of the lat? Senator Gotf,- of West
Virginia.
Admiral Benson and Mr. Donald are
the only members of the present board.
They have been directing the work of
the board since the passage of the
Jones act.
Mr. Teal is a lawyer and banker of
Portland, Ore., and has written numer?
ous pamphlets and articles on transpor?
tation and shipping problems. Mr.
Thompson is a newspaper publisher of
Mobile.
Grouped by Geography
Admiral Benson and Mr. Donald
are the Atlantic Coast representatives
on the new board; Mr. Rowell and Mr,
Teal are the Pacific Coast representa?
tives; Mr. Thompson is the member
from the Gulf Coast; Mr, Goff the
member from the Great Lakes region,
and Mr. Sutter, the member from the
interior. This geographical grouping
is required by the Jones act.
The reappointment of Admiral Ben
non and Mr. Donald was made somf
time ago, when Mr*. Thompson and Mr
Teal also were named. At the time
however, three members declined tt
serve. The three men who declined ap>
pointment were Gavin McNauf of Sar
Francisco, Democrat; Martin J. Gillen
j of Wisconsin, Republican, and Theo
dore Marburg, of Baltimore. Re?
publican.
The investigation into the charges 0'
graft and waste in the operations o:
the Shipping Board, now being made ir
New York by the Walsh committee o:
Congress, hastened the appointments.
An immediate readjustment of th<
boarcTs affairs and a straightening o
its financial accounts will follow thi
organization of the new board. Thesi
are matters that have been press'nf
? for a long time. Admiral Benson sail
to-day in outlining the plans of th?
board. The Jones act requ;res that al
seven members shall be qualified be
fore any members of the new board cai
I act.
Questions Awaiting Decision
"I expect, the board will be organ
; ir.ed and will have started its wor!
?before December 1," Admiral Bensoi
i said.
"The board must take some actio'
! with regard to Section 28 oi the Jone
act, applying to discriminatory rate1.
: The Interstate Commerce Commisaio
I has suspended the operation of tha
' section until January 1.
"The contracts between the Harri
, man line and the Hamburg-America
line and between the North Germa
Lloyd line and the United States Ma
i Steamship Company also are pendin
and must be acted upon.
"A policy for the sale and leasing c
the board's ships must, be determine
' upon, and a survey made of the pre.
ent operations of the Shipping Boar
vessels.
"The case of the Leviathan also mm
be disposed of. The vessel has bee
tied up for a long time now, with n
buyer. The new board must decid
what to do with the ship.
"The disposition of the Hog lslan
shipyard is another matter requirin
I early attention. Bidi have been ei
: tirely too low, and the board must d<
j ?*:de if it cannot find a market for it
; sale or lease it. There are many oth?
j problems, including that of rates."

all set for the opening of the League
of Nations assembly Monday. All the '
delegates from forty-one countries are

of Arthur Balfour, of Great Britain,
who has been slightly ill and will not '
reach Geneva until the middle of the
week.
Elaborate preparations have b?en
made for the first historic meeting in
the Hall of Reformation. The flags of
twoscore states, with the exception of
the United States, Germany and Rus?
sia, are flying from the hotels and pub?
lic buildings, while the hall itself is a
mass of color.
Geneva is just beginning to realize ?
what an important responsibility it ac?
cepted when it became the headquar?
ters of the League of Nations, but it is

The final meeting of the league coun- !

Dartiguenave Demanda
That Inquiry Be Made
Into Conduct of Envoy
and Financial, Adviser
Charges No Tact
And False Report?
Marine Probe Is Declared
Useless; Holds Civil Of
ficials Caused Trouble
By Wilbur Forrest
Special Cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Ino.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Hayii, Nov.
13.-.-President Dartiguenave, in an
interview with The Tribune corre?
spondent at the national palace this
morning, demanded that the Ameri?
can Congress investigate the con?
duct of United States civil officers
in Hayti.
The President named specifically
the American Minister. Arthur
Bailly-Blanchard, and Colonel John
A. Mcllhenny, the financial ad?
viser, who, the President charged
had not carried cut the terms of the
Haytian-American treaty, had put
President Dartiguenave in a fals?
position by misrepresenting his ut?
terances in their reports to the State
Department in Washington, and had
been guilty of lackir?- entirely In
tact and cooperation.
The President said that complaint
against these two officials, had been
constant throughout the last five
years.
Complaint Dates to 19i5
"From 1915 to date the government
has had cause for bitter complaint
against the American Minister, other
civil functionaries and officials charged
with carrying out the terms of the
treaty," said the President, "If the
government and people of the United
States want the Haytian people to con?
sider this treaty the starting point of
their independence it is necessary for
a Congressional commission to come
here and investigate the civil adminis?
trators of the treaty.
"There must be an American Min?
ister who is wise and enlightened."
The President's manner was ex?
tremely affable. He spoke freely and
with evident sincerity, laying the
greatest blame for th?? trouble in Hayti
on the indiscretions of civilian officials
sent here by the Wilson Administra?
tion.
Although the marines and gendar?
merie had given certain cause for com?
plaint, he said, because of acts oi
young officers und others with mi ?
guided intentions, the present investi?
gation of the charges mad'- by Major
General George Barnett was relatively
unimportant and could get nowhere.
The President insisted that th?- great?
est question was the conduct of the
civil control.
Treaty Not Fulfilled, He Says
"The government has been under the
constant oppression of the Americ
Minister ana the financial adv!:-?>r," the
President continued, "I accepted the
Presidency knowing that the Ameri?
cans would bo here. I -have had pro?
found faith in the promises made to
Hayti by the United States government.
I must not hesitate to say that I ex?
perienced many deceptions and much
discouragement. The treaty has not
been violated, but it has not been car*
ried out."
The President said America would
commit a crime if she withdrew her
forces now. The gendarmerie, he ex?
plained, was not yet ready to take over
ihe situation in the absence of the
United States marines.
"Our civilian officials and others have
made repeated efforts to prejudice the
State Department against the Haytian
government. Evidently the department
has taken the advice of these men and
has acted without further investiga?
tion. Consequently, in any controversy
or complaint the State Department in?
variably rules that the Haytian gov?
ernment is wrong.
"A Congressional investigation would
clear the air. There has been a seri?
ous lack of understanding. Th?
American mission in Hayti would be
easier and the Haytian people would
have spoken highly of the American
people three years ago if the officials
liad cooperated with us properly. You
are a great people. We beg you to be
kin.i to small peoples."
President Dartiguenave charged that
Minister Bailly-Blanchard and Colonel
Mcllhenny had repeatedly sent to the
State Department declarations purport?
ing to come fropi Dartiguenave which
the President had never made. Ob?
viously, the Chief Executive asserted,
this was done purposely to indue?*) the
belief that Hayti did not observe her
solemn obligations.
"On these occasions." said the Presi
1 dent, "it is to be understood that these
; officials caused the Haytian government
; much suffering."
Barnett Charges Discussed
Regarding the charges made by Gen
; eral Barnett of the slaughtering o*
j 2.250 Haytian nativos by United States
; marine?, the President said:
' 'loa know of the very regrettable
doings in the Artibonite River region,
, in the north. I wrote regarding thi*
condition to General Catlin, but the
situ?t.on did not improve until Colonel
Hooker sent a commission to inspect
the region in July, 1919.
"The Haytian government cannot say
that it has any compla nt in general in
the last two years against the superior
officers of the gendarmerie. Certainly
there have been faults, but there hai
been nothing to prevent those. Soro?
of the officers behaved badly, and
among the marines in the inter or soro??
of the officers ?ave bad advice ?r.d led
the gendarmerie into the mistake of
instituting a System of terror whi? .
