Girl Quits Home on Bike;
Plays Jazz for Policemen

Mary Seaman, twelve years old, of
Hewlett, l.. L., decided early yesterday
that Hewlett's view of the world was
entirely too limited so she got on her
bicycle and started in .he direction of
Manhattan.
She crossed greensboro Bridge and
was going merrily until she reached
Madison Avenue and East Thirty-sec-
ond Street. At this point the build
ings grew too tall and traffic was too
complicated for Mary. She got off her
bike and cried.
A crowd gathered about Mary and
one of the crowd, Miss Anna Walls, of
100 Lexington Avenue, escorted the be-
wildered girl to the West Thirtieth
Street police station, where she told
Sergeant Frank Dunn that she had a
big brother, Robert, in Hewlett. Ser
geant Dunn communicated with the Far
Rockaway police and asked them to tell
Robert Seaman to come and get his
sister.
During the waiting hours at the sta
tion Mary was provided with all the
cake and ice cream and sandwiches that
she could eat, and then in gratitude
gave the battered piano in the squad
room of the station the surprise of it's
life. Mary could play the piano. Ac-
cording to Sergeant Dunn, she could
play anything from jazz to grand opera,
and she delighted the policemen with
her performance. Incidentally, she for
got all about the terror that was pro-
duced by the tall buildings.

Oxford Asks Exchange
With German Schools
Professors Seek Reconciliation
and Status of Before
the War

LONDON, Oct. 17.-An appeal for
establishment of the friendly inter-
course" which existed before the
World War has been addressed to pro-
fessors of arts and sciences and mem
bers of universities and learned socie-
ties in Germany and Austria by
large number of professors and doc
tors of Oxford University.
The letters, the text of which is
printed in The London Times to-day,
expresses desire "to dispel the en-
btterment of animosities that, under
the impulse of loyal patriotism, may
have passed between u.s." The hope is
also expressed that in the field where
the aims of these bodies are one, a
reconciliation may be effected which
will lead to wider sympathy and better
understanding on the part of both ma
tions (which civilization demands"
Commenting editorially on this COM
munication, The Times says: "The
great majority of Oxford men will
share our regret at this singularly ILL
advised and lnopportune appeal"

Barnett Explains Few
Marines Slew Haytians
Phrase ''Indiscriminate Killing
Meant Without Process of
Law. Saws General

From The Tribune's WASHINGTON Burenu
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Brigadier
General George Barnett, former COM
mandant of the Marine Corps. In a
statement tonight said that the "in-
discriminate" killing of Haytians by
marines which he alleged in a report
to the Navy Department a. year ago
was confined only to Every small por-
ton" of the Marine Corps on duty in
Hayti.
Il have consistently refrained from
giving out any information and from
granting any interviews on the Hay
tian situation" he said. "Any action
taken by me as the commandant of the
corps was taken considering only The
good of the corps and the proper per-
formance of duty by the corps to
which I was so proud to belong.
my official letter of September 27,
1919, covered the case fully, but Mt
the request of the Secretary of the
Navy should like. to make it clear that
the statement in my letter of October
2, 1919, AS follows, namely: "A statement
by counsel showed me that practically
indiscriminate killing of natives etc,
was meant by me to express without
due process of law and not as seems
now to be misinterpreted as 'promiscu-
ous,' and l further meant, of course.
that such statement of counsel would
have weight in my mind only when
proved, and in order to have him prove
or disprove the truth of these state
ments l wrote. the letter of October 2,
1919, to the brigade commander.
II am Soldier and not an autho or.
feel certain that the brigade COM
mander, to whom the letter was writ
ten fully understood my meaning.
This whole matter refers to only
very small portion of the Marine
Corps on duty in Hayti. My full report
shows that duty in general was splen-
didly performed by the marines"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Bitumin-
o9s coal production has reached the
l2,ooo,ooo-ton weekly total which the
National Coal Association recently de-
clared was necessary to insure against
any shortage of the winter supply.
The Geological Survey announced to-

ended October 9 was 12,075,0O0 tons.
ar increase of 100000 tons over the

soft coal situation has appreciably

three men was seen by several persons
in the neighborhood of Tricks Cross
way on Friday. and the authorities de-
clared tonight the apprehension Of
these men probably would solve the
mystery.
The police believe Paul probably was
kidnapped, murdered and robbed, and
their work to-day was centered upon
search for clew where he was con-
cealed for the ten days between his
disappearance and the finding Of his
body.
Investigation brought out that the
body at first evidently had been thrown
into Rancocas Creek, but that when it
was found the water was too shallow to
conceal it it was dragged into the
swamp and buried.

phla, Washington and Cleveland.
Several days ago Mr. Johnson tele-
graphed John Heydler. president of the
National League, saying he did not
think it advisable to discuss reorgani-
zation at present because of startling
evidence he thought might come before
the Cook County Grand jury when it
reconvenes Tuesday to continue it's in
