LITTLE REPUBLICS
PRESIDENT QUITS
Abdicates Office as Revolt
Grows Wider; Flees to
German Warship

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2S.-Under
forced draft, the big battleship South
Carolina today is rushing across the
windward passage for Port Au Prince
Haiti, to join her blue jackets and mar
ines with the forces of the armored
cruiser Montana, in protection of
Americans and other foreigners.
Left without a government by the
sudden abdication Of President Oreste,
who fled to refuge on German war
ship yesterday, the island republic is
threatened with anarchy.
Captain Russell of the South Caro-.
lima will be the senior naval officer on
the scene and as such will take what
ever measures he deems necessary for
the protection Of foreigners and their
property without awaiting orders from
Washington. Secretary Daniels has
sent him no instructions, depending on
the commander to act in his own dis
cretion.

German cruiser Vineta. Fighting

were quickly suppressed and the city
is quiet now.
A citizens committee Of public safe
ty has been formed. 1t is understood
that Solon, Menos. Haitien minister at

CONGRESS TAKES
UP STRIKE PROBE
Chairman Calls Meeting Of
r Committee Named By
the Lower House
WILL OUTLINE PLAN
FOR INVESTIGATION

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-First
steps in the congressional investiga-
ton of the Colorado and Michigan
mine strikes were taken today by the
house mines committee designated to
make the inquiry. Chairman Foster
called the committeeman together in
an early meeting to decide on plans
Although several members of the
house had contended that no federal
question was involved which congress
had any authority to investigate a
resolution for an inquiry was passed
by an overwhelming majority
Specifically the congressman will in
vestigate whether postal service has
been interferred with; wether immi-
grafton laws have been violated; !;
whether there are agreements in re-
straint of trade or whether peonage
exists.
There is possibility that the Col
orado and Michigan inquiries may be
carried on simultaneously by different
subcommittee.
Resolutions of investigation pending
in the senate probably will be passed
over without further action, inasmuch
as the house has voted to make the
inquiry.
Mine Workers Cheer.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2S.-An-
nouncement made by President John
P. White that the two resolutions pro-
viding for federal investigation of the
strikes in Colorado and Michigan had
passed the lower house Of congress by
a large majority, was greeted with pro-
longed cheers today by the delegates
attending the convention of the United
Mine Worker Of America.
The attempt to curtail the appoint
i've power of the international presi-
dent by changing the constitution to
make the officers of travelling auditors,
organizers and editor Of the Mine
Workers Journal elective by the min
ers instead of being appointed by the
president, failed when it came to a
vote today.

Capetown, Union of South
Africa, Jan. 2S.-The deporta.
ton from South africa of ten
labor leaders was carried out
so quietly last night that little
was known of the occurrence
in South Africa today.
Men who had taken a promi-
nent part in the recent strike,
arrived in Durham under a
strong guard. At midnight they
were placed On board the steam
er Omgeni, which sailed i'm
mediately. for England. g..
The secret deportation by the
South African government of
the strike leaders has aroused
widespread comment in Eng
land and doubt is expressed as
to whether the men will be per-
mitted asylum there. Well in
formed London newspapers in
sist that the drastic action of
the Botha government indicates
that the strike was not an or
dinary industrial conflict, but
an attempted revolution.
