Regardless of any plans President

PORT AU PRINCE, Jan. There is no
high labor market in Hayti. The man
working by the day gets one gourde
which Is 20 cents, and sometimes a
gourde and half. Cooks are to be had
without advertising. Most of them earn
$3.50 a week. and In addition get cents
a day on which to feed themselves and
their flock. You do not have to include
car fare in the weekly wage down here
At some points in the interior wages
for cooks are even lower. Many of them
live in mahogany houses, at that.
Hayti's population is estimated around
100000. Ninety-seven per cent of
these people are classed as illiterate,
which may account for the size Of the

Law Lets This Man
Maintain Two Wives
Who Agree to Plan

AKRON, Ohio.-An unusual ruling
under which Giuseppe Sarniola will
be allowed to keep two wives was
handed down by federal authorities
and Akron police, when Sarniola, ac-
companied by wife No. 1, with a ten
year-old SOP, and wife No. 2, leading
a three-yeAfrold boy and carrying a
baby, appeared at police headquar-
tiers.
Sarniola married wife No. 1 in
Italy eleven years ago. Later he
came to America. Four years ago he
sent for her, but due to the war
heard nothing and presumed she was
dead. Then he met wife No. 2, a
Pennsylvania widow. She became
his common law wife, he said. Two
children were born.
Last week Mrs. Sarniola No. 1 and
her son reached Akron on an immi-
grant train. Sarniola fastened to the
police with his troubles, his wives
and children.
After an investigation federal au-
thorities told Sarniola to take his
wives home and support them. The
wives agreed to love each other and
live peaceably together. They left
police headquarters arm in arm.
81 love them both. They love each
other. We all love. 1 keep them all.
They say so,' Sarniola said in broken

Average acre yield of cotton seed
without fertilizer, $50 pounds.
Average acre yields increase pound

Average use of fertilizer per acre
estimated 500 pounds.
This year reduction Of so per cent,

u. S. Convicts Here
Cause 5 A rrests for
Money Order Frauds

NEW YORK, May 10.-Informa-
ton furnished department Of justice
officials by two convicts in the At
lanta federal penitentiary caused the
arrest of three men charged with OBJ
tanning more than $250,000 by forg-
ing stolen money order blanks, These
men are said to be mem bers Of a
band which also operated in Cleve-
land, Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo.
Simultaneous with the arrest here
a man and woman were taken into
custody by the Cleveland police. The
names Of the five prisoners were
withheld by Assistant District Attor-
ney Louis o. Schwartz, who said the
master mind of the conspiracy was
being trailed by federal agents and
that his arrest was momentarily eX-
pected.
This band, Mr.. Schwartz asserted,
worked in a novel way. One of them
would obtain position in a. drug
store soda fountain, having easy ac-
cess to a postal substation. The next
step consisted in stealing a pad of
money orders and an official postal
stamp. The blanks and the stamp
would then be mailed to a confeder-
ate in another city. By supplying
members of the band with a large
number of blanks, money orders, ap-
parently genuine, began to flood the
cities in which the band worked. The
forged money orders were mailed
back and forth, from city to city, to
escape detection by federal agents,
Mr.. Schwartz declared.

Heroic Policeman
Loses His Life
In Third Exploit

NEW YORK.-For the third time
in his fifteen years on the force, Pa
trolman John H. Conk, forty-five
years old, of the Wilson avenue,
Brooklyn, station, won the right to
be cited for feat of spectacular
heroism when, he leaped to the back
Of a runaway horse in an effort to
stop it.
In performing the feat Conk sacri-
feed his life. He died in the Wyckoff
Heights hospital of fractured skull,
received when he was thrown from
the horse and under the wagon, a
rear wheel passing over his head.

Conk wore both the silver and bronze
stars awarded by the department for
exceptional acts of bravery. The for
mer he won at spectacular fire in
Greenpoint avenue five years ago,
when he rescued two persons trapped
in a tenement house. The bronze
star was awarded for stopping run
away at Knickerbocker avenue and
Grove street.
In response to his dying request,
every effort is to be made to have
him buried in the soldiers plot in
Cypress Hills cemetery. 1t had been
q source of regret to Conk that he
was too old for service in the war.

AT ANY Price, March

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The army

land Bergdoll back out of Germany
''at any price" Chief of Staff March

Bergdoll committee.
Chief March said the army through
the state department is vigorously

what steps are being taken in Sc
cret session.
Discussing attempts by Naef and
thinner, Americans, in Germany, to
kidnap Bergdoll, General March said
when he first heard of it he thought
they were a part of the military
establishment and was prepared to
assume full responsibility for their
act.
You would not have apologized
had they been in regular service?"
he was asked.
mot a Bit" he replied.
General March was asked If Briga-
der General Henry T. Allen, COM
manding at CoblenZ, had been cen
sured for apologizing to German au-
thorities for the attempt to kidnap
Bergdoll.
"He was not" he replied. 1.-THE
action of General Allen was entirely
correct from the standpoint of inter-
national law"
The chief of staff added that it
would have been perfectly satisfac-
tory to him if anybody had succeeded
in bringing Bergdoll back to prison.
He described Bergdoll as a bad
specimen" whom the government was
anxious to catch.
The committee went into executive
session to discuss the German phase
of the case with General March.

BENNETT REBUKES
HIGH OFFICIALS

MACON, Ga, May 1O.-United
States District Attorney John w.
Bennett, Monday night issued a
statement in which he rebuked GER
tain high officials" of the state for
"the recent sensational publicity, I'M
just and unwarranted," in regard to
alleged peorage conditions in the
state.
Mr.. Bennett issued the statement
after a four-hour conference with Bill
lups Harris, superintendent, and Vim
cent Hughes, special agent of the pu-
reau Of Investigate ton Of the depart
ment Of justice, in which Hughes de-
MED that he had complained that
the district attorney was not Coop
Grating in the peoEage Investigations.
The district attorney deplored the
publication Of unfounded peonage ru-
mors.
1--WE have not seen proper to ad-
vertise these various alleged cases
in the newspapers Of the state but
have cautiously avoided doing So"
said Mr.. Bennett.
While we realize that there might
exist some cases of peonage in Geor~
gia other than these two cases and
while we realize that the facts in
the Williams case appeared to be
most atrocious, we do not feel that
the condition in Georgia is such that
the state merited the unfortunate
and unjust advertisement that it has
recently received from some of our
officials through the medium Of
newspapers.
Georgia, as a whole, is as law
abiding as any state in. the union, and
the recent sensational publicity given
it is as unjust as it is unWarranted."

CROWS BOARD BILL
S1,20O,0OO A YEAR

SALTWATER, Okla.-Oklahoma's
States-north, east, south and west
is $1,20O,000 annually. This pest of
the air, which migrates to Oklahoma
for the winter holidays, is one of the
most costly visitors to which the
state pays host.
According to report made here by
G. e. Sandborn, professor Of ento-
mology at the \Oklahoma A. & M. col
lege, crows cause a loss of more than
this sum to farmers each year, chief
ly through their consumption of
grain. The figure was arrived at on
an estimate of 100000 crows con-
Stunning $4,000 worth of grain day
for 120 days, the average period of
their sojourn in the winter.
oklahoma boards the crow during
the winter and thus raises heavy
burden from the northern and east
ern states" the report says, where
it appears to be more of a summer
resident than a winter pest. They
have acquired the habit of decoying
others and returning here, until it
appears the annual crop of crows
from adjoining states winter here.
The nature of the farm crops at this
time of the year and the timber lands
make a good refuge. for them
Compared with his report, Prof.
Sandborn quoted statistics from four
community councils of Logan county,
which estimated that the crows did
$71,200 damage in the county alone.
The roosting places and food ranges
of the crow are such, he said, that at
least twenty countries were raVaged
last year equal to Logan county,
therefore making a total estimate of
S1,424,000 for Oklahoma's board bill
to crows.
"a proper description during the
winter in Oklahoma would appear fic-
titious to persons who have not seen
some proof of the crows presence in
the state" the entomologist declares.
Persons who do not travel over
Oklahoma much, but have noticed
hordes of crows lowering over GER
tain sections of the state, might
think that all of the crows in the
country were bivouacking in that
particular locality.
1.-The most serious complaint rela-
tive to crop damage indicate that In
dian corn, kafir, sorghum, maize,
darso, peanuts, pecans, melons and
cotton are the products usually Sc
riously damaged by the crows. They
also injure terminating corn and
oats.
Their damage to crops, purloining
of eggs and destruction of wild ami
NAL life are not only tremendous, but
their habit of carrion eating makes
of them diSseminatorS of live stock

tential in character and practically

The court gave her $65, a week
