Telephone Man Seized
At Sleepy Hollow Club
Locked Up for Alleged Violation
of Parole, He Denies Any
knowledge of Gem Theft

John NJ. Mccullough. telephone op-
orator at the Sleepy Hollow Country
Club, where jewelry valued at S1OC, 900
was stolen last week was taken from
the club by Burns detectives in an
automobile yesterday and was locked I'D
last night at the West 152d Street 20
.ce station. He is charged with viola
ti1n of the parole upon which be vas
released some time ago in Special Ses-
slons after his conviction of impairing
the morals of minors.
He was brought to the police station
by James A. Russell, parole officer of
Special Sessions, who made the charge
against him. Another man accompanied d
them to the police station, and re-
piled when asked who he was: ooh,
I'm just with Mr.. RUSSELL"
Mccullough declared that he had not
violated his parole. He said that he
had reported regularly. He knew moth
ing about the burglary at the club, he
said, except what all employees there
learned after it had taken place. He
asserted that he had been held a pris-
oner at the club and that the charge
made against him at the police station
was bunk
The Burns Detective Agency had
nothing to say about McCulIough's ar
rest. One of the Burns detectives said
IN the morning that there would be ar

the jewels within forty-eight hours and
that the $4,000 necklace stolen from

New Generation
Needed to Dust
Graft in Hayti
Admiral Knapp Declares
Present Low Ideals Can
not Be Extirpated Under
Rule of Men Now Living
Says u. S. Must Remain
Charges of Brutal Methods
in Dealing With Natives
Are Declared Untrue

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - Achieve
ments of American intervention In
Hayti will have been "lost" unless
military occupation of the country is
continued "a great many yesrs," Rear
Admiral Harry S. Knapp, receStly sent
to Hayti at the request of the State
Department to study conditions. de-
clared in a statement made public hele
tonight. m
Replying to a letter from Charles
Mckinley, of Portland, Ore, forwarded
by Secretary Daniels, and asking among
other questions when the United States
would withdraw from Hayti, Admiral
knapp's statement said:
"I cannot answer this. for the Adj
ministration, but in my personal view
the work of American intervention
will have been practically lost if the
United States withdraws its military
forces for great many years to come.
II am not hopeful that the old ideas
of graft, of public Office as q means of
private gain, can ever be extirpated
from those who have reached manhood
under the old corrupt standards.
personally believe it will take at least
a generation to develop in Hayti suffi-
cient men of high enough standard
Of ethics to provide personnel for an
honest administration and a back
ground of honest population for its
support"
Replying to questions regarding
New-York tribune., 1920-10-21

treatment of natives by the Americans,
Aomlrai Knapp denied that women and
children had been killed, or that "stran-
guiation, fogging" or other cruel prac-
tices had been used to extract informa-
tlon from natives. Full answer could
not be given to the latter question until
certain allegations had been investi-
gated" he added
The political administration Of Hayti
was being conducted in strict accord
ance with the constitution adopted in
1913, Admiral Knapp declared, in reply
TO the question: "Is it true that no
legislative assembly, has been convened
SINCE 1852" The literal answer to
that question. he said, is ''No," in view
OF the creation by the constitution Of a
council of state, (Which shall exercise
the legislative power until the legisla-
tive BODY is constituted"
Poinring out that the constitution
provided for election of a legislature
on January 10 of any ven-numbe rec
year." Admiral Knapp said no election
was had this year because the Presi-
dent of Hayti did not see fit to issue
the necessary decree and that none
could be held under the constitution
before 1922. In the mean time, he said,
the Council of State was in session.
Admiral KNAPP declared there was no
censorship in hayti, "strictly speaking y
quoting a military, order now in effect
which he said forbids only ''inflamma
tory publica tions." American control
of the constabulary was absolutely nee
essary, he said, to develop an effective
police force, while administration of
finances by this government had "un-
doubtedly saved hundreds of thousands
OF dollars to the Haytian government"

Wallis Says U. S. Fails
10 Assist Immigrants
Many Are Subjected to Undue
Hardships on Arrival,
He CHARGES

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 2o.-speak-
ing In the double capacity of. Com
missioner of immigration at the Port
OF New York and president of National
implement and Vehicle Association at
'ts convention here to-day, F. A. Wallis
urged more constructive policy on
the part of the government in the
hanoilng OF the great tide of immi-
grafton now flowing into the United
States. He defended the association
against the charge of the Federal Trade
commission that it was acting in vio-
iation Of the law with regard to price
advances.
Mr.. Wallis said that from 5000 to
H.opo immigrants are arriving in the
United States daily, and that facilities
10 receive them are so completely
c'ogged that these immigrants are SUBJ
Jected to undue hardships on their
ARRIVAL and get an erroneous concep-
Vlon OF American hospitality
In addition, Mr.. Wallis said, very
nttle Is being done by the government
70 dislfloute the new immigrants over
the country in such a way as to insure
their greatest possible use to the pro-
ductlve forces of the nation and at the
same time. promote their own material
welfare
To remedy this, Mr.. Wallis suggested
more careful observation of prospective
INN grants by American consular
agents abroad, in order TO determine
their adaptabilty and advise the gov
ernment here of what should be done
Tor them.
In defending the National Implement
and Vehicle Association against the
charge Of profteering. made by the
ederal Trade Commission Mr. Wallis
quoted statistics from the commissions

that the advance in prices by members
Of the association were not unreasona-

URGE MORE HELP !:
FOR WESTERN ROADS
Secretary Meredith Ad-
vocates Greater Aid
in Construction of 4.
Highways.

In an address before highway rep
resentatives from western states, Ed
win 7. Meredith, secretary of agri-
culture, stated his belief that in the
western states, where large areas Of
government land are located, the fed
eral government should adopt sys-
tenn of financial cooperation more
liberal to those states than in the
case of the rest of the country.
Il think we must recognize the
fact that the existence of these large
areas of government lands places
these states in a somewhat different
situation from the remainder of the
country" said Mr.. Meredith, ';and
that it would be only equitable for
the federal government to increase
it's percentage of cooperation over
the present basis. l am also hearth
ly in favor of continuing the appro-
priations for the building or nation
al forest roads. These forests con-
stitute a great natural resource and
their preservation and development
is national responsibility which
ought to be met in full measure"
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con-
tinuation of present federal and state
cooperation in connecting state road
systems with the systems of adjoin-
ing states in order that the working
out of an adequate highway program
for the whole United States may pro-
coed in an orderly manner. He also
advocated the continuance of work
now going forward under the feder-
al aid road act.
GAS 1921 is the last year covered
by the act," he said, "it would be
highly desirable, in my opinion, for
congress to make provision as
promptly as possible for the contin-
uation Of the work under the present
system by an appropriation of at
least 500, 100000 for each of the
four fiscal years beginning with
1922"
