    Chief Executive
Of Haiti Denies
, Marine Killings
President Dartiguenave Says
He Is Unable to Prove Ex
istence'of Homicide or
s s Violence.
Port au Prince, Haiti, Nov. 1-.
(By Tfie Atsociated Press) Sudre
Dartiguenave, nrisident of the re-
public of Haiti," testifying yesterday
before the naval board of inquiry,
declared he had no official knowl
edge of the charge of indiscriminate
killing of natives by United States
marines. Speaking through an in
terpreter, th president said he was
without means ot proving the ex
istence of cases of homicide or vio
lence that may have leen committed
by the marines,' adding:
. "They have been accused by pub
lic clamor.
Hearing Is Adjourned.
J
M. DartiKuenave was the only wit
ness testifying anr after he had left
the chair, Judge Advocate Dyer an
nounced he ha-1 no further wit
nesses or evidence. The court then
adjourned to reassemble upon call
by Admiral Henty T. Mayo, presi
dent of the board of inquiry, and it
is not probable another session will
be held before next week.
The Haitien president, with
democratic simplicity, walked from
the palace to the court room, climb
ing the two flights of stairs. He
expressed his pleasure in informing
the United States government what
he knew. Answering a direct ques
tion if he had knowledge regarding
alleged indiscriminate killings, he
said:
Eridence is Hearsay.
"Officially, no. I have heard of
regrettable acts perpetrated at Hin
chc, St. Marc, Croixes, Douquets,
Grande Rcvera du Norid. Mirebalias
and Las Cohidas. When people 1
have been reproached for not hav-!
ing kept the government informed
of all that was being said, the an
swer, rightly or wrongly, has been
they were afraid of being caught by
martial law. Victims or their
parents have never brought their
grievances to me because leaders of
the revolution gave them to under
stand there was no Haitien chief of
state.
"The people, with a few excep
tions, such as may be found in every
country, have, rejoiced at the com
ing of the Americans. They were
expecting their liberty, prosperity
and respect for their person and
property, but 'compulsory road
labor has been practiced despite
advice by the counsel of the govern
ment. This has given rise to dis
content" which" led to the revolt of
the Cacbs bandits. Misdeeds, how
j ever, are always possible in cases of
repression."

More Reasoning
Needed to Solve
Irish Problems
Removal of Outside Influ
ences Would Bring
Harmony Among
Factions.
t - . ;
Less feeling and more reasoning
on the question ofIrish indepen
dence as a means of solving the
Irish problem was advanced by Rev.
Owen R. Lovejoy, chairman of the
Protestant Friends of Ireland's ex
ecutive committee, who arrived in
Omaha yesterday from New York
to speak at the Brandeis theater.
In his room at the Hotel Fon
tenelle yesterday morning Mr. Love
joy calmly discussed the principal
objections to Irish independence, ex
plaining each point with no show of
feelinsr. " .
"It is claimed there is a division
between Ulster and 'south Ireland,
but t'ie removal of outside influence
would bring the factions together on
friendly terms,'" asserted Mr. Love
joy. .
"It is also claimed the move for
Irish independence is a plot promul
gated by the Roman Catholic church,
but no proof has been advanced.
During the last half century Iralf of
the leadrs for Irish independence
have been Protestants.
"Again, it is said that Ulster would
be subjugated by the Catholic ma
jority," continued Mr. Lovejoy.
"That is no more true than any of
the other assertions. Ulster would
be no more subjugated than arc the
Protestants in CNeil, Neb. In one
Catholic stronghold in Ireland a
Protestant mayor was recently
elected by a huge majority.
Business of America.
"The spijjp of co-operation aqd
friendship 4etween Catholic aiicNl
Protestant in Ireland is stronger
than in this country. To, the man
who says the Irish question, is not
the business of this country I call
attention to the situation in Belgium
when invaded by the Germans."
Mr. Lovejoy asserted the Irish
home rule -bill which was passed
yesterday by the Hopse of Commons
would not aid in the solution of the
Irish question.
In his discussion at the Brandeis
theater tonight he wilTlay emphasis
on the economic phases of the situa
tion. Mf. Lovejoy, who is a Congrega
tional minister, also is active in child
welfare work and was guest at a
luncheon given by children's welfare
orfcers at the Univefsity club at
noon.

Clemenceau is spending the winter

Shortly after the Tiger's return

and I will grant you your rights,"
he said.
The sum was granted without
question.
M. Clemenceau plans a tour em
bracing the United States and Aus

former premier was in , Batavia,
cabled him an invitation to visit the

travel continuously for the next 10
