Major Dyer said he had contemplated
calling as n witness the Rev. l.. Tom
Eyans, Baptist missionary, who in an
address here charged improper acts to
the American marines stationed in the
island. but that Mr. Evans had said he
had no personal knowledge of the in =
cidents referred to. However, the mis-
s!Onary has agreed to furnish a list of
persons in Haiti who had supplied him
information concerning American ad-
ministration there and Major Dyer said
these persons would be- examined by the
court in Haiti.

Greater Problems

DEVELOPMENT Of the wonderful op-
portunities OF Maine and quoted as
the creed Of the State Chamber of
Commerce and Agricultural League
the following from the report of the
labor directorate:
May we be permitted to say that
it is our hope and belief that the
State Chamber of Commerce and Ag-
ricultural League can and will be a
great factor in the improvement of
the physical, social, moral and finan-
cial conditions of all the people Of the
State 1t is our ambition that the
State of Maine shall lead in the flu
ture as it has many times in the past.
We desire to make the homes, the
schools. the workshops and the fac
tories and other conditions of Maine
attractive to the better element of
working people,"
One of the first and most import
ant things to be done to these ends,
as Mr.. Gulnac sees it, is to improve
living conditions in the rural dis
tricts. Names population is IS per
cent rural and is thus entitled to
first consideration. Commenting on
the great number of abandoned farms
in this State. Mr.. Gulnac presented
several reasons for this condition and
suggested remedies: a-,f
First: Lack of doctors and nurses
in a great many of our rural districts.
