1,142 HA|T|ENS
KILLED DURING
U.s.. OCCUPATION

Port Al Prince. Haiti Dee. thy
The Associated i'reSS)---A total of l.l42
flaitianS met death since the beginning
OF the intensive campaign against the
bandits OF the island approximately two
years ago. II was developed by the naval
court of inquiry during it's three weeks
OF hearings just concluded here into the
actions of American marines in Haiti.
This total includes the ten natives al
legged to have been killed by cX-CurpOrul
freeman Lang and Sergeant Dorcus
Williams.
Outside the ten deaths charged
against Lang and Williams all the dead
accounted for during the hearing fell in
the 29S actual battles that occurred in
Guiding the attack on Port Au Prince
IN January, according to the testimony.
Although the court of inquiry natut"
ally declines to discuss this phase, the
military authorities insist that the
charges of 'indisCrimiuate killing"
brought by Major-Gcneral George Bar
nett. former commandant Of the United
States marine corps. were not justified.
At the end of the sessions Admiral
Henry 7. Mayo. president OF tn" court,
in Questio ning Lieutenant Colonel lloOh-
er, OF the gendarmerie. touched upon
conditions during General BarncttS aG-
ADMINISTRATION. He developed testimony
that the bandits then unSuhducd had
murdered about 2O.uUU peaceful iaticnS
and had destroyed farms and tortured
and mutilatcd gendarmcs and marines.
Colonel Hooker'S recital of atrocities.
with proof in each case. revealed shock
luE conditions showing that the bandits
had not observed the principle of war
fare.
The sum total of the testimony oh
tanned here brought out charges only
against Lang and Williams. The local
newspapers are continuing to print what
purportS to be- charges which are de-
, clarcd by Major Jesse +. Dyer however.
to be based wholly on rumorS nr hear
say, and hence not of Il kind that can
, BE- presented to the court. These pub
licationS have wildly agitatrd the ma
ttvcS who claim the court has refused L
sweeping investigation.
There liz no doubt that the feeling in
Port Au Prince is tense. largely because
of the published charges, causing the
military to watch the situations closely.
The natives assert that many persons
with direct evidence have been intimi-
dated. and they dCclar" also that Amcri-
cans in business here know 4 great deal
which they are unwilling IL tell the
court. The HaiticnS generally assume
there will be congressional inv"StiEa-
ton before which they hope to present
their grievances.
Admiral Mayo said it was not likely
Che court would, return to Haiti. He de-
Clined to indicate the names of the wit

en- out if the writer desires. We should
be glad to use extracts from these
letters sent in under these conditions
because there are many thoughts in
these letters sent the editor that are
worth while but we must know the
fountain from which they flow. The
editor invites criticism or approval in
these columns at all times but must
have the name of the author before
the articles will be published. The
names will not be published if so de-
sired, although we rather think that
if the writer believes what he or she
is writing about that writer should
have the moral courage and stamina
to back up his thoughts in an open
and above board manner-the editor
has to do this every day he issues the
Times Record and you will notice he is
always on the job taking the bumps
or praise for what he does write
about-why not the same method by
the anonymous writer?

To day the supposed republican con-
vention recently called by Gunder
Olson, national committeeman from
this state, is to be- held in Bismarck.
The Tribune says that Senator Nc
Cumber and other leaders are to be
there and that the senator is to make
the keynote speech, and that the in
surgents will probably keep away
from that convention. Just what Nc
Cumber will make the keynote on we
are not told, but we DO know that this
convention is not the right kind Of
convention for the republicans Of this
state to go to- It was called in snap
sort of way without any detail as to
representation from the various coun-
ties or as to how many delegates could
go from the various counties and was
very irregular all around The state
ment that the insurgents would keep
away from that convention is mis-
leading. There are no insurgents to
keep away. The men who are oppos-
ed to Townleyism and are standing for
a clean and square deal in politics and
state government, cannot be classed
as insurgents. Neither can they be
classed as republicans. It is spon-
taneous expression from all political
parties for a cleaning up Of present
goc:alistic conditions in this state. We

JOHNSON COMING
TON0RTH DAKOTA

4 Bismarck, N. d., Jan. S.Senator
Hiram w. johnson, candidate for the
presidential nomination on the repub
lican ticket in the March primary, ac-
cording to word received at state
headquarters from J. A. Elston, ma
tional campaign manager for the Cal
ifornian, will come to North Dakota
in about two weeks.
Requests have come in from many
towns and rural communities all over
the state inviting him to give talks.
This limitation of time will make it
necessary to limit his meetings to the
larger cities, probably Bismarck, Far
go, Grand Forks and Minot:
Reports continue to indicate that
Senator johnson is by far the strong
est candidate now before the voters OF
North Dakota. He is not counting on
the support of political bosses or on
lavish expenditure of money to win
votes. Senator johnson is not a
wealthy man and he has always been
independent of boss rule. He is ap-
pealing directly on his record in Cal
ifornia, where he developed what is
acknowledged to be the most pro-
gressive state government IN the
United States, and on his record IN the
United States senate where he has
stood squarely for the welfare OF the
soldiers and TIE people and for the
rights of the United States.

T0WNLEY DREAM
GOES BANG

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 28.-Bang!
Another Townley dream has exploded.
His great money-selling slogan
':wholesale plus ten per cent" is life
less today.
Rumors regarding the Consumers
United Stores Company, the Townley
concern, to the effect that the COM
pany had not been able to make good
on it's original contract, namely, the
selling of goods at ten per cent over
the. wholesale price and that the linn
tied amount of goods that has been
sold were disposed of at 9 loss are
|substantiated by the statement made
at the meeting of the contract holders
at Fargo last week and the action
taken changing the system so that the
goods will now be sold at current mar
ket prices. =.
This is the cause of the change in
the plan of organization whereby the
contract holders become stockholders.
Under the terms of the original con-
tract the stores could have only charg-
ed the ten per cent over wholesale
prices.
League organizers under Townley's
instructions went up and down the
state organizing these stores, telling
what exorbitant prices the merchants
were charging and calling them rob-
bers and thieves and promising them
that margin Of ten per cent over the
wholesale price would give them plen-
" Of profit to do business on.
Townley has therefore renigged on
his contract to the farmers. This is
lust what everybody expected. Town
+ley's slogan, wholesale plus ten per
cent" was just hot air to be used by
his organizers in selling the stock. It
worked. He sold IL 900 contract GER
tificates enabling the holder buy at
ten per cent plus wholesale price, max
