Barrett Scores
Government for
Haitian Policy
Former Director General of
Pan-American Union Says
Methods Employed Handi
cap to U. S. Prestige.
Chlrufo Tribune-Omaha Bee Lraaed Wire.
Washington, Oct. 17. Severe
criticism of American administration
of affairs in Haiti came from John
Barrett, who recently ritired as di
rector general of the Pan-American
union.' Mr. Barrett declared that
methods employed by the United
States in Haiti and also in the
Dominican Republic and Nicaragua
have been "a most serious handicap
to the Pan-American influence and
prestige of the United States."
Mr. Barrett recently was request
ed by a member of the committee on
foreign relations of the United States
senate to state impartially his .opin
ion, based on his knowledge of Pan
American affairs, as to how the
Haitian situation is viewed in Latin
America. A summary of this state
ment was made public:
"Without criticising the govern
ment or administration, but answer
ing frankly a legitimate question, I
must admit that it is regretfully true
that the United States occupation of
Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and
even Nicaragua, and the methods
employed there, especially in Haiti,
no matter how well intended, have
been for many years, and are today,
a most serious handicap to the Pan
American influence and prestige of
the United States." ., '
"There is hardly a responsible
newspaper in all Latin America, that
has not seriously criticised the pol
icies and nethods of the United
States, and the reports of its admin
istration are always providing am
munition for anti-United .States agi
tators and critics. Although my
former official position as an inter
national officer prevented me from
making any formal protest to the
United States government, unless
requested by it, I tell only the truth
now as a private citizen when I say
that I constantly received during the
last six years complaints against the
United States in Haiti and the Dom
inican . republic from responsible
citizens."
Secretary of the Navj Daniels de
clared that the charge made jy
Brig.-Gep. George Barhett, former
commandant of the marine corps,
that the marines charged with the
enforcement of the law had been
guilty of "indiscriminate killings"
of Haitian bandits, will be- investi
gated to the most minute degree.

New York. Oct. 17. With the ex
ception of cotton and grain grow

quarters that labor will have to bear
its share of business reactions, but

Admits Harding

Louisville Courier Journal
Predicts Majority of 82 Elec
toral Vntes for Republican
Nominee After Survey. ,
Chicago, Oct. 17.(Speeial Tele
gram.) Calling attention to its pre
vious successful forecasts in nation
al elections, the Louisville Courier-
Journal, probably the leading demo
cratic paper of the south, and a
warm partisan of Wilson and his
league of nations, admits, r on the
basis 'of present reports, the elec
tion of Senator Hardine by a ma
jority of 82 votes in the electoral
college. It says:
"It must be admitted that any tab
ulation 'of the electoral votes of a
nonpartisan nature indicates at The
present time success for the repub
licyan ticket. The problem . of the
remaining weeks is whether Mr.
Cox can change thexisting arith
metic or whether Mr.' Harding does
something to cause a republican
mathematical reverse."
Made Careful Survey.
The Courier-Journal forecast sent
from Washington byt its corre
spondent there . was made after a
"careful survey of reports reaching
Washington on political conditions
in various sections of the country."
"Unless," wires the correspond
ent, "there develops during the re
maining weeks of the campaign a
nirked swing to Gov. James M.
Cox, it is generally conceded that
Senator Warren G. Harding "will be
elected by a comfortable majority."
The forecast of the Courier-Jour
nal divides the states into five
grotlps, "sure democratic," "sure
republican." "leaninir to democrat
ic," "leaning to republican" and
very doubtful.
; Classify States.
The total electoral votes of the 11
"sure democratic states," all of them
south of the Ohio river, are 126, and
the total of the 11 "sure republican"'
is,' 119, but the total of "sure demo
cratic and leaning to democratic
is only 178, while the "sure" and
"leaning to republican" is 260. the
basis of the forecast by the Courier-
Journal of a republican victory.
The sure republican states in the
forecast are Delaware, Iowa, Maine,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Vermont and Washington.
The leaning to republican are Con
necticut, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey. New Mexico,
North Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia
and Wisconsin. '
State conflicts in Illinois and Wis
consin hold them out of the "jure"
column. "Very . doubtful" states
are California, Colorado, Maryland,

Testimony pf Girl
Hard Blow to Defense
In Wanderer Trial
Chlrag Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 17. Carl Wanderer
did not take his daily trip over the
"Bridge of Sighs" that connects the
jail with the criminal courts build
ing. Instead he sat in his cell and
thought it all over. His trial went
over Saturday until Monday to en
able counsel on both sidesMo lay
plans for the remaining days of the
trial.
The testimony of Miss Julia
Schmitt, a pretty 17-year-old girl
that Wanderer made love to, both
before and after he slew his wife,
proved a hard blow for the defense
and comes close to establishing a
motive fo the- crime. He had rep
resented himself as a single man.
Wanderer has repudiated his con
fessions and claims it was obtained
under duress. It is now said his
chief defense will be the testimony
of alienists who will testify that he
may be insane and imagined he com
mitted the crime. There are hints
that efforts will be made to prove
that the tramp kilted Mrr. Wanderejr
and that Wanderer slew him. The
state w(Jl make an especial effort to
get his confession before the jury.

Terre HauteT Ind. Oct. 17.
France, through an informal emis
sary sent to Senator Harding, has
asked America to lead the way to an
association of nations that wilt have
the backing of a united America, the
senator revealed in an address at
Green Castle. Ind., as he was begin
ning the day's campaign across that"
state and. Illinois.
England, too, is ready to join in
the new league, the senatorr assert
ed, giving Lloyd George and " Earl
Grey as his authorities.
His statement regarding the wil
lingness, of France to abandon the
letter of the Wilson league, follows
closely the trent of a statement by
Stephane Lauzanne, editor of Le
Maun of Paris, in a current maga
zine article. The French writer quo
tes ben. Harding as to his unwilling
ness, to be shackled by a written
compact surrendering freedom of
action of . this country,- and then
says: ik
"These are noble words which we
Cannot but approve. Although the
written compact which was prom
ised to us at Versailles, had for its
end, to guarantee France against the
horrors she had suffered, we will re
nounce it gladly. Ihe covenant ot
tne American conscience will suttice
us. If must guide the world. '
Senator Harding's Green Castle
statement follows: '
1 notice in the morning papers
that the secretary of state has said
that the kind of world association
I'm proposing is not likely to be
made with anybody except the na
tions now out of the president's
league.
"My countrymen, France Is ask
ing; France has sent her spokesmen
to me informally to ask America to
lead the way for an association of
nations.
"England has said, through Lloyd
George and thought Earl Grey, that
America must revise and amend and
make the league of nations possible.
They all recognize the demand for
American leadership. i there is to
be a league of the nations of the
world, my countrymen, it ought to
be one big enough and -broad
enough to tke in all of the nations
of the world. Else one group
would b'e organized and arrayed
against another."

Britain faces one of its greatest in

Keports from industrial centers

message came from Sheffield,

coal for three weeks. At other cen
ters one week's supply Is the limit.
The statement that the men struck
against advice of most of their lead
ers war confirmed by the attitude of
many who left the pits. They said
they did not understand voting
against the "Datum line" meant a
strike and it is clear a great many
misunderstood the "unfortunate
phrase," as A. . Thomas, secretary
