(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. The
United States, having "put irs hand
to the plow" In Haiti, miiHt not now
turn back through withdrawal of tho
American forces there, Hear Admiral
II. S. Knapp declared today In a re
port,' In which he jircHented In final
form the results of hi investigations
In the Island republic for the navy

against the American occupation of
Haiti. Adrnlrnl Knapp' asserted, is in
spired by a desire on the part of a
small group who, he said, represented
at the most not more than 5 per cent
of the population. This group of agi
tators, he added, are working to gain
a hearing and, the sympathy of ( tho
people of the t'nited States although
their real object l to obtain abroga
tion of the treaty, between thT; United
States and Haiti and to bring about
ii return of the old conditions of gov
ernment. 'Could thifl be attaiued." Admiral
Knapp In his report continued. "I
think out' of every 1.000 Haitians
would be glad to see the American
forces remain to n force good order.
In other word, the Haitians, even the
worst mutators among them, would
be willing to have the United States
act the part f policement and other-j
wise leave them to their own devices.
"The people of the United States."
the admiral's report said, "should not
allow themselves to be deceived by
tho words 'republic of Haiti' Into be-(
lievlng that there exists in Haiti, or
ever has been a republic in any true
sense founded upon the expressed will
if an Intelligent and educated electo
rate. The so-called republic of Haiti,
left to itself, hasbeen a tyrannical
ollgrachy In which" those in power
fastened upon the vast mass of the
population; while those of the gov
erning class out of power sought ev
ery opportunity to get into power, by
fair means or foul, with the same cor
rupt personal ends In view. Tran
quility and security now exist in Hai

From nil that I can gather, persons
can move ubout thl republic on their

WASHINGTON Kohl rnly 15

Passage early this week by the Ken

however, is expected to break the jam.
at least, of the appropriation measures.
Leaders believe that it is still possible
with night sessions to get through all of
the money bills with the exception, pos-
sibly, of the army and navy appropria- j
Hons.
Tho emergency tariff bill is to be given
exclusive right of way tomorrow in the
senate after a calendar call of bills for
passage by unanimous consent and a
vote on it is expected by Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The house plans to pans the last two
appropriation bill, the naval and forti
fication bills early this week and clear
the way for other legislation and con
ference reports. A half dozen appropria
tion bills are waiting for the senate to
consider but protracted discussion of the
naval supply measure is in prospect
with the controversy over reduction or
suspension of the building: program, im
perilling its enactment.
Miscellaneous measures before the
house include the resolution for a spe

j DECISION IS UNCERTAIN
,
Next Chief Executive Expects
to Reach Final Draft of
Cabinet Soon.
(By Associated Frees. )
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.. Feb. 13.
lthough several decisions remain to
be made in regard to cabinet selec
tions. President-elect Harding is con
fident the problem will be solved in
a way acceptable to all elements of
his partys
Commenting today on reports of
serious friction among republican
leaders, the president -elect declared
he knew of no feeling on tho cabinet
question which did not grow out of
the normal and proper activities of
the friends of .contesting aspirants for
places in his official family. He said
he was satisfied with the progress
made and felt the whole situation was
tending to a happy solution.
Mr. Harding mentioned no names
and did not refer directly to published
stories that some republican senators
"-
have vigorously opposed certain " ten-.
tative selections. He did deny, how
ever, stories that he is encountering
more delay than he had expecte'd in
completing his cabinet' slate.
One of the movements which has
taken on greater proportions recent
ly is that for selection of a southern
republican to the cabinet. The president-elect
said he received many pe
titions iti support of Representative
Slemp of Virginia and several others
from southern states, but regarded
those as more personal than sectional
in their nature. He would throw no
light on the subject.
Although Mr. Harding is consider-
. .. . . 7
jng toe question ot diplomatic ap-
ipointments along with the cabinet
I problem, it is not expecteM now that
i he will attempt any selections for dip
i lomatic posts before inauguration.
1 Some of these now considered for the
cabinet may later be transferred to
the ambassadorial list, but the cab
inet personnel will be definitely de
termined first.

asking assistance to exclude vermin-infected
immigrants from landing on
American soil. Dr. Copeland declared
immigrants had been passed by the im

two immigrants with incipient typhus

thorities to land here.
"It is neither safe nor decent to ad
mit to the United States vermin-infested

"Please ask the president to investi

congested city and the country at large."
Stations for medical examination of
aliens reaching New York from Boston
will be established. Ir. Copeland stated.
This action was made imperative, he
said, by the diversion of several liners

Lloyd George's Government Will
Be Attacked by Viscount
Grey in Upper House.
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 13. King George,
accompanied toy Queen ' Mary, thj
Prince of Wales and the Duke of York,
at noon Tuesday will open a session
of parliament which promises to be
a test of continuance of the coalition
government of Premier Lloyd George
Constructive measures which head
the program include the new budget,
schemes of protection to safeguard
k,ey industries against foreign compe
tition and prevent the dumping cf
foreign goods and for remedying ex
isting conditions, a plan for relief of
the unemployed, probably b' public
"works, new drinks licensing regula
tions, creating of Irish parliament
under the home rule bill and 'reform
of the house of lords.
There is much rumor that the gov
ernment will try to spike the guns
,of those criticising it for waste by
presenting an economy budget provid
ing for a total expenditure of 950,000,
000 pounds.
The first Tuesday in April is con
sidered the probable day for bringing
into effect the home. rule act. The
present outlook is that only the Ulster
government will be 'formed, in which
event the viceroy hrbtf secretary
for Ireland will nominate Irish privy
councillors to form an assembly which
will exercise the powers of a parlia
ment until conditions in Ireland be
come more peaceful and an attempt
can be made to operate the act In the
south.
Although the government has a
great majority, it will be severely at
tacked and the sharpest opposition
will be directed against its manage
ment of finances -with alleged waste
fulness which has been the chief issue
in the. recent bye elections, its policy
of dealing with the Irish trouble and
also the costly occupation of Mesopo
tamia. Parliament will meet with the
two Cecils Lord Robert and Lord
Hugh, who are representatives of a
family which for generations has been
a pillar of British conservatism for
mally aligned with the liberal oppo
sition. Viscount Grey in the lords and
Lord Robert Cecil in the commons will
be the spokesmen and supporters for
the league of nations. They will fight
the Irish and financial positions of Mr.
Lloyd George and a strong group of
the younger members is expect.ed to
rally behind them.
