GROUP IN HAITI
SEEKS POWER
REAR ADMIRAL KNAPP SAYS IN
UNFOLDING AMERICAN
CONTROL.
Small Clique of Agitators Are Work.
ing to Gain a Hearing and SYM
pathy of the United States, De-
cIares American Admiral In Report.

WashingtOn.-The United States,
having "put its hand to the plOW' in
Haiti, must not turn back now through
withdrawal of American forces there,
Rear Admiral H. S. Knapp declared in
a report, in which he presented in final
form the results of his Investigations
in the island republic for the Navy
and State Departments.
Agitation against American Occupa-
ton of Haiti, Admiral Knapp asserted.
is inspired by a desire on the part of
a small group, which, he said, repre-
scented at the most less than five per
cent of the population.
This group of agitators, he added,
are working to gain hearing and the
sympathy of the public of the United
States, although its real object, he
added, is to obtain abrOgatiOn of the
treaty between the United States and
Haiti and to bring about return of
the old conditions of government.
Gould this be attained" Admiral
Knap continued, Il think that 500 out
of every 1000 Haitians would be glad
TO see the American forces remain to
enforce good order. In other words,
the Haitians. even the worst agita-
tors among them, would be willing to
have the United States act the part OF
policeman and otherwise leave them
to their own devices.

TENDENCY TO WAIT is SEEN
Will Be No Immediate Pressure to
Adjust Issues With
Japan.

ashington.-Because of the pend
ing change of administration the Jap
anese Government is understood to
have decided against eNerting any
pressure to obtain at this time a re-
adjustment of issues existing between
it and the American Government as a
result of the adoption of the alien land
law in California. 1t also is under
stood that the Tokyo Foreign Office is
satisfied with the recommendations
for a settlement made by Ambassador
Shidehara on the basis of his negotia-
tions with Roland S. Morris, Ameri-
can Ambassador to Japan. Whether
the Japanese Government has set its
full seal of approval upon the rec
concentrations is not known definitely
here, but it is said that so far, at least,
it has shown no disposition to decline
to accept them.

CONSUMERS ROBBED
FRIGHT AND Left
OPERATORS ROBBED USERS OF
COAL, SAYS PoMERENE IN
LETTER TO BANK.
Senator Handles Profiteering Opera
tors Without Gloves-Says Dealers
and Miners Should Unite on Legis-
Iation Fair to All.

Washington.-Tha domestic con-
sumers of coal have been robbed
fright and left"Nis asserted by Senator
Atlee POmereNe in letter he has
written to the Citizens National Bank
of Cincinnati. The Senator in this
letter handles the profteerlng opera
tors without gloves. The bank had
written to him to protest against the
Calder bill for regulation of the coal
industry as a "step in the wrong d.
rection." The banks message also
said:
"While it applies only to coal, the
principle involved could be easily ex-
tended to other staple commodities. 1t
is a result of the war spirit and, If
enacted, would go far to make a per-
manent tendency to regulate every
business"
Senator Pomerene in his reply says:
LET this fact be understood; during
the last four years the public, and
particularly domestic consumers, have
been simply robbed right and left. or
course, not all coal operators are to
blame, but some coal operators are to
blame. 1t was the result, no doubt, of
the cupidity which seems to accom-
pany all conditions. The opportunity
was presented partly by lack of trans
portation; partly by operators break
ing their contracts and refusing to
sell under contract rates in order that
they might have more spot coal; part
ly by the creation of a feeling that
there was an undue scarcity of coal,
and partly due to the fact that a lot
of men rushed into coal business tenn
pOrarily, making fortune in short
while.
1.-The public has judged operators
like lawyers are judged-by the worst
in the profession. These conditions
probably will not present themselves
again, but they may, and my Judgment
is that if the level-headed operators
and miners will join in the promotion
of some legislation which will be just
to operators and miners, it will serve
a good purpose. What form this leg
islation should take, l am not prepared
to say now, but it seems to me that
if this course were adopted it would
do more good and less harm than will
come by opposition to all legislation
upon the subject"
