HAITIAN PRESIDENT BITTER.

Islands Executive Plain Man-FeeIs
His Peoples Troubles keenIy.
By Associated Press.
Port Au Prince, Dec. 6.-The presi-
dent of the republic Of Haiti, Philip
Dart1guenave, sat for nearly two
hours in the reception room of his
palace the other day and discussed
with American newspaper correspon-
dents the troubles and hopes Of his
people. Toward the~en he became
extremely emphatic and bitter in
denunciation Of some of the Ameri.
can officials with whom, as president
he must deal.
lin. that interview the president
said the American civil administra-
tion in Haiti was more oppressive
than the military" criticized the acts
Of the American minister, Bailly
blanchard, and Johrn McIlhenny,
the financial adviser, and said no
serious measures had been proposed
with view to placing Haitis finan-
ces on a truly solid basis.I
It was an unusual spectacle. The
president was speaking directly for
publication. After each sentence
he hesitated while the palace inter
prefer translated from French into
English, and he hesitated again until
his words had been put down. A
lieutenant colonel OF marines, attached
to the army Of occupation, now try
ing to help Haiti into better paths,
sat beside him, silent.
The room was as bare as the parlor
Of q, boarding house in some big in
dustrial center. A crayon portrait
Of the president was the single wall
decoration. Two pieces Of furniture
that might serve as hat racks stood,
against the wall, and ranged around
green rug of ordinary worth were
probably dozen chairs pre-
cisely like those found In the dining
rooms Of hundreds of humble Ameri r
can homes. There was nothing to
suggest the time honored idea tina
a palace Of q president is filed with
priceless things. They are rf1anlng
handsome rosewood fixtures IN
France Tor the palace, not yet com
pieted. but as it stands today It Is
bare to a degree.
The suit on the presidents back
was in keeping with his living sur
roundings. 1t would not bring $40
anywhere in the United States.
Dartiguenave is a bachelor, around
% years of age. He and his brother
the secretary of the interior, 1--we
alone. There is no mistress of the
palace.

HARDiNG'S DIFFICULT TASK.
Must Use Discrimination In Choos-
ing Men as Advisers.


Washington, Dec. 6-President-
Elect Harding is here for a stay of
two days, filled with conferences
fraught with the utmost Importance
to the success OF his administration.
1t was apparent from the attitude
of republican leaders today that Mr..
Harding as chief executive is going
to be Judged largely by the impress
sion he makes during these two days.
the outbreak of party factionalism is
stayed will depend upon his treat
ment of the leaders OF the various
groups.
There were several forgatherings
of republican senators today at
which the program of Harding's stay
here was discussed with a view to
advising him on the course to be
pursued. To avoid playing favorites
in the republican camp and to avoid
committing himself unwisely in any
public ,tltterance were the matters
the leaders appeared to have most
closely at heart.
The point made most frequently
N the confabS today was that it was
Mr. Ha-dins's unassailable personal
prerosative to choose such compan-
ions as he saw fit for his vacation
but beginning with today he enters
upon the task Of shaping his admins
tration and the utmost Importance
attaches to tho affiliations he makes.
Ihus conservatives and progress
ssves pro-leasuers and irreconcila ples
III the republican party are on jeal-
oGs guard against any possible favor
itism by the president elect to their
opponents and will be quick to take
offense.
Cabinet Builders Mobilzinq.
While here Mr.. Harding will see as
many as possible of the leaders he
desires, to consult who thereby would
save making trip to Marion later. 1t
is not impossible that among the
llsen he receives will be some whom
he VIII invite 10 enter his cabinet.
,he president -elect Will find the
os3snet maneuvering in full swing
wien he begins his day tomorrow
Every faction with candidate for
efficiel adviser to the new president
is mobilizing it's influence and pull
ing all the wires possible to influence
Mr.. Harding.
Powerful Support for Eiihu Root
The biggest kind of contest is OH
ever the selection of secretary of
state. The pro-leaguers and business
interests of vast magnitude are pres
sing from numerous vantage points
for the choice of Elihu Root They
have swung into line with them some
of the closest confidants of the
president cicet, and if Mr. Harding
selects anothcr he will have with
stood an aggregation of the most
powerful influences ever brought to
bear on a chief executive.
Likewise ths anti-leaguers are or
ganized in support OF an impressive
appeal for the selection Of Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, who was
Roosevelt's attorney general and
Taft's secretary of state, In the case
of Knox, however. a cloud has ap
peared on the horizan in the shape
Of objections from none other than
his colleague, Senator Penrose, who
views with alarm the appointment

zelos on Nov. II. were again enacted
last evening in celebration of the re-,
suit of the, plebiscite, which was
known before the vote was taken.
A crowd estimated 100000 gathered
In Place de Ia Constitution, near the
kings palace. Some were walking
some riding in carts and automobiles,
and all worked themselves into per-
feet frenzy waving flags Of all ma
tions, olive branches and paintings
and photographs Of Constantine.
large part of the crowd was COM
posed OF women, who olamored for
permission to vote. AS they marched
along they chanted madly, "Constan-
tine has promised us the vote"
1t is planned that the liner Patris
will meet Constantine at Brandisi
late this week.

Great Britain will extent no fur
ther financial aid to Greece in case

most dangerous spots, should be

Constructors of additional cross
ings in the middle OF blocks, where
automobiles can approach from only
two directors.
Demonstration Of great Skill in
driving each machine before granting
a drivers license for that machine.
Reduction of speed limit, especial
ly at crossings.

prisonment, each to have it's place
as an actual penalty
