INSANE SERGEANT
DIRECTED KILLING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(u. PO--
Details of the killing of two native
Haitisns on the order of an insane nom
commissioned officer of the American
marines were learned here today.
This incident caused General Barnett
to make his charge Of indiscriminate
killings by American forces occupying
Haiti Barnett will be the first wit
ness before the board of naval inquiry
which will start the investigation Fri
day.
Details of the killing Of the two
Haitians came out in the court martial
Of the sergeant and two men who act
ed on his orders. The natives were
shot the night Of May %, 1919. One
Rad been arrested for working mag
ic," and the other for theft. They
were taken from the Jail by the SER
geant and ordered to dig their own
graves, evidence at the court martial
shows. Kerosene is said to have been
poured aver one natives head and only
a high wind blowing out the matches
preventing him from being tortured by
fire. The sergeant then assembled a
firing squad and ordered the prisoners
shot AT the court martial, it was
brought out that the sergeant was
hopelessly insane. The two privates,
it is understood were acquitted as
they acted on superior's orders.

weeks of constant trying was forced
to the conclusion that because of his
mental condition, coupled with his
carelessness. that it would be out of
the question to ever make a mechanic
out of him. 1t seemed as though l
I was at my wits end. But after due
/ consideration 1 decided if 1 could get
| him on farm somewhere he might be
taught to do that kind of work. Ac-
cordingly I corresponded with a rel
ative Of mine, living in distant state,
who was on large farm and finally
got them to agree to take him and try
and teach him to work. This proved
( in a measure successful. He seemed
/ to like horses and the handling of
stock and farm life and got along all
! O. K. He stayed there until he was
nearly or quite of age. At that age he
began to develop a habit Of staying
out late at night and when they tried
to reason with hem, he got miffed and
left. From that time on he has gone
here and there, working on farms,
coming home or going to some of his
brothers and sisters every year for a
short visit. Was in my home town the
1st OF last April and we heard from
him in May or June, SO you can see he
could not have had a very long Grim
inal record.
Now about the crime that he has
confessed to committing here. That it
was foul. uncalled for deal, no one is
more conscious of it than I am. And
God knows If by any power of mine,
could restore the life taken / would
gladly do so and my heart goes out in
sympathy for the bereaved wife and
f. miIy and THy prayer has constantly
been that God in his infinite love and
mercy would comfort, sustain and up
mold them in this awful hour of trial.
l do not maintain that the boy is inno- |
cent of this foul deed because OF his /
mental condition. for undoubtedly he /
knows right from wrong and therefore /
ought to be punished. But I do say
that because of his weakened mental 4
ity he did not understand the enor-
nifty Of the crime he committed, nor
he awful punishment II involved when
he plead guilty to the charge. there's
ore ask the people of this city and
commonwealth to use sober judgment
,efore you snuff out that life.
Don't let your sympathy for me en-
er into the case, for / am perfectly re-
igned to Gods will in the matter. II

A Little Square Of Canvas.

Few car owners realize what a
convenient accessory is a little
square OF canvas, about eighteen
inches over all. 1t saves the knees
of the trousers when you have to
kneel to get at some Inaccessible le
part. 1t keeps the jack from slip
ping on snow or ice. 1t keeps the
inner tube out of the dust when this
part is being inserted by the road
side. 1t will serve to strain gaso-
lene through; it will keep tools from
rafting: II will protect the hand in
handling hot parts, and finally it
will make an emergency inside

Practical Paragraphs.
Mounting Straight Side Tires.

The proper method of mounting
straight side tires is to lay the rim
on the floor. inserting the valve
stem of the tire in its proper place.
The bead for ten inches on both
sides of the valve should then be
forced in place. After starting the
tire in this way it should be forced
in place further by stamping on IL.
first on one side and then on the
other. Stamping in this way will
let the operator seat the tire easily
as a general thing. though it is
sometimes necessary to resort to
tire tool. The ends OF the rim may
be brought into place by means of
a sCrewdriver to use in prying. and
care must be used not to make a
mistake and get the wrong end OF
the rim on top. This method is for
use when a rim expanding and con-
tracing tool is not available. as this
latter saves much time and trouble
and should be in every toolbox.

ter driver of the world, who will
pace the race. Oldield is now at
the track. along with numerous
railbirds, checking the perform
ance of each car that shows it's
radiator on the brick saucer.
: For the first time Indianapolis is
giving its sole and undivided at
rention to a worlds championship
race in which only small motors
can start. No car in the race will
boast of a cylinder displacement of
more than 1SG cubic inches nor a
weight of less than 1000 pounds.
By this reduction the Indianap-
oils Motor Speedway management
is taking probably the final step
in a steady march, begun many
.Xears ago. The first 3OO-mile race
lin 19ll-was open to motors of
500 cubic inches displacement
There are few, if any, such cars
now in use.
Medium-sised Motors Obtained.
The next step was a reduction to
$50 cubic inches--motors broadly
equivalent TO the most powerful
and largest commercially built to-
day. Then came three years of
racing in which the maximum dis
placement was 300 cubic inches
This figure brought racing motors
down to a class typified by such
cars as We might call medium
sized.
Now comes a racing class still
smaller. A motor of 1S3 cubic
inches has actually less displace-
nent than a Ford motor. Only a
few cars on the market would be
eligible to this race with stock
sized cars.

ing race as there was in any of the
memorable contests that have been
staged on the 81. mile oval. The
450-inch class went faster than the
mammoth 60O's. The 300's went
