MILITARY JURISDICTION OVER
 HAITIAN CIVIL COURTS

Washington, June 13.-with the ap- proval of the president of Haiti. Secre- taEy Denby has ordered transferred to the military authorities the jurisdiction of the Haitian civil courts over persons charged with instiga ting disorder, blood shed or rebellion, or libelling members of the Haitian government or the Amer ican Marine forces of occupation.
 The consistent refusal of the civil courts to convict persons accused of these offenses and the rapid growth re- gently of revolutionary propaganda, leading to fear of an uprising and sporadic revolutionary disturbances on the islands, were given as the reasons for the step.
 Finding that no punishment follow ed their attacks upon persons and of- fcials,' a navy statement said: "Ha- tian orators and writers have grown bolder and more audacious until de- nunciation has mounted almost to frenzy and partisians of all parties became SO excited it was feared that popular out 1 bursts might occur"
 Tt is believed that the knowledge i that trial before an unocejudiced and l unintimidated court" the statement con. tinued, awaits offenders against the I laws of libel and those who advocate l disorder. will prove ample restraint tc
 meet she situation and will prevent 2 | repetition of the scurrilous, slanderou:
 and incendiary utterances which hay, 1 threatened to promote disturba nces." l Hereafter persons accused of the of | lenses will be arrested by the marine. | and tried before a provost court-mar 1 tial according to a proclamation issuet l by Colonel John H. Russell commandinl

FAVORABLE TO FEDERAL
 HIGHWAY COMMISSION

Washington, June 13.-Favorable re- port was ordered by the senate postofices and Dostroads committee today on the Townsend bill to create a federal high way commission and to establish an in- terstate system of public roads.
 Three democratic members of the com mittee, Senators Watson, Georgia Mo Keilar, Tennessee, and Heflin, Alaba- ma, voted against the bill and will file a minority report probably recommend ing that no change be made in present federal road law.
 The bill as ordered reported, provid- es for federal highway commission of three members instead of five as propos- ed in the original bill. The members of the commission would be appointed by the president with the consent of the senate and would be paid annual $100,- 000,O00 to aid the states in building roads would be continued with the speci- fication that the sums allocated to the states must be expended on interstate roads.
 The provision granting the commits sion final authority in the selection ol interstate road routes was retained de- spite strong opposition from democratic committee members who asserted 1t te be usurpation of state rights. The dem ocratic members, however, won a par tial victory in gaining insertion of a clause directing the federal commission to act "in cooperation" with the states
 States taking advantage of the fed eral aid provided in the bill are re- quired to match federal funds excep' in states having to exceel live per cent of the total area in unappropriated pub lie lands, in which the proportion ot etate funds would be decreased in pro portion of such public lands.

 Mir. Kelley, who is chairman of the house confGees at work on the naval bill with it's disarmament amendment, made a bitter attack on the resolution, declaring congress would live to apolo- gize for it's act, which he described as making peace with a mere clasp of the hand, after the fashion of professional wrestlers.
 The principal attack on the resolution was based by democrats on the ground that it did not properly protect Ameei- can rights and that the United States in attempting to negotiate a treaty witn Germany and her ally would sit down with feet and hands tied and without being able to demand the rights won by war. Republicans held, however that all rights were safeguarded.
 Representative Garrett, Tennessee the acting democratic leader, Representative 1 Connally, democrat, Texas, and MT Flood made the principal speeches against the resolution, all declaring that
 the chief argument in support of its i adoption was that it would pave the way for greater trade with Germany Failure of the senate to accept the | house substitute will send the whole | question of peace to conference. Mos 1 of the republican speakers declared con

June 13.-The return of a fire degree murder indictment against Mrs. Ernminia Colavito. a midwife, ar rested in Sandusky several days ago. the fourth woman to be indicted Cor the mur- der of Daniel F. Kaber two years ago, and therevelations that the assassins who stabbed Kaber twenty-four times at tempted to secure a $2,500 reward of- fered for their arrest were the outstand- ing developments in the murder mystery today.
 The other three women under indict- ment are Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber. widow of the slain man: Mrs. Mary Brickel. 6e. her mother. and Miss Marian McArdle. her aalgat,r.
 The indictment against Mrs. Calavito came after she had made a detailed statement 10 the nolice ccatsining some of the most sensational disclosures yet brought out in the invessigation. which has been fin p- -tss several weeks. IL contains two counts. me alleging ti,zt Mrs. Colavito administered poison fo Kaber and the other that Ghe partici- pated in the stabbing.
 Late today County Prosecr.,- Edward C. Stanton announced he had begun work on the theory that Mrs Colavsto herself yielded the V eaDcn that killed Kaber. He said he believed two for eigners were present at .hs death scone. He also announced that a wotnan fortune teller. her daughter. son nrd sor-tn-iaw | had promised to make complete state ments covering their entire knewledge of the affair.

In ap- pealing for her release. h2r scn-in-law said that he and other mcmbers or the family were prepared to tell all they knew of the case. He said they did not talk before because of their fear of the foreigners.
 It was learned today that the two fer l eigners. who are beiieced to have actu ai- ly stabbed Kaber. went to Joseph Kaber, brother of the dead man. some time after the murder and offered to show him a woman who could .eil all about the murder"
 They took him to I pace and pointed out a house where MrA Covslito lived, according to the brothers s.atcment. and tried to collect the reward. Their ef- forts failed, however. when c.ty refused to give out any further information

 McArdle and Mrs. Brickel in the murder plot, Miss McArdle was given a sliarT examination today and denied to Pross- cutor Stanton all CT the accusations. , A temporary injusction was issued to day by Judge Homer c.

N. Awaits Reply
 From United States
To Invitation to Send Repre- sentative to Discuss Man dates.

Paris, June 1S (By the A. P)..-The United States government has been re- minded through diplomatic channels that the league of nations has received no answer to it's invitation to the United States to send a representative to discuss mandates.
 Both the class "A" and "B" mandates are on the agenda for the meeting of the council of the league to be held in Geneva on June IT.
 The colonial offices of the various countries are interested in bringing pressure for an early solution of the question of mandates. The British ap- pear to be particularly anxious to close up the matter on account of the situa- l ton in Mesopotamia. The French co,on- ial authorities also are urging < prompt settlement It is not quite clear, | however, when the question of man. dates will clear up.
 I There are two tendencies inside the 1 league of nations with regard to the | question of mandates. One is to refer | the whole question back upon the prip- 1 cipal powers which negotiates the Yer 1 sailles treaty and are responsible for l the attribution of the mandates they 1 hold; that the league really exercises nc 1 initiative regarding mandates and has only to do with the approval of terms and the supervision of administration of territories under the terms of the I mandates decided upon.
 The French government is understood
 to favor modification of terms of the
 mandates to meet the American views
 while Great Britain opposes this.
 The other tendency is to consider that
 the United States has defaulted by no
 sending q representative to the league
 of nations, she was invited to do,
 and finally accepting the terms of tht :! class "A" and "B'' mandates Those
 favoring this tendency profess to re
 gard the failure of the Washington gov
 ernment to reply to the invitation tc
 attend as equivalent to abandonment o I the American protest.

RESOLUTION OF INQUIRY
 OF AMBASSADOR HARVEY

Washington, June 13.-Senator Harri- son, democrat, Mississippi. introduced to- day a resolution requesting President Harding to inform the senate whether there is as much reason and justifoa- ton for a reprinand or the recall of Ambassador George w. Harvey for him Pilgrims day speech of May 19, 1921-as for the reprimand or recall of Admiral William s. Sims for his speech of June 2, 1921"
 Senator Harrison sought immediate consideration of his resolution, but ob- jection by Senator Curtis of Kansas, re- publican whip, forced it over.
 The remarks of Ambassador George w. Harvey, touching the reasons for our entry into the war; the resolution said, i do not represent the views of the Amer ican people and were most reprehensi- ble and the provocation for his repri- mand or his recall is as great, if not greater, than that for the recall of Ad- miral Sims
 Senator Harrison told the senate that Ambassador Haryey's statement that we were afraid not to fl, ,ght' was "an insult to every soldier, sailor and ma rine who served under the Stars and Stripes"
 T can't believe" he declared, 'thai General PeTshing and his associates We're impelled by the thought that they | were afraid not to fight I cannot be- ] lieve the thousands of young men al 1 over the country enlisted because they We're afraid not to fight.
 T can't believe Alvin c. York, the ] greatest hero of the war, was herr 1 because he was afraid not to fight. can't believe that Quentin, a son of { gallant soldier and of a distinguished leader of the republican party laid dowr his life because he was afraid not tC fight.
 i T see no reason why Sims slande on part of the American people shoult
 be the cause for his recall when on,
 who is higher than him should be al
 lowed to remain at his post.
