HAITI ASSEMBLY

a. 1873 lll
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-Disso-
luton of the Haitian assembly, which
had refused to adopt new constitu-
tion permitting ratification OF treaty
with the United States, drawn accord
ing to the demands of the American
government, was forced by the Amer
lean expeditionary command under
orders from Washington" Brig. Gen.
Eli K. Cole OF the Marine corps, tcsti-
fed last week before senate com
mittec.
Gen. Cole said his instructions were
to get the decree of dissolution from
President D'Artiguenave, IS possible,
but to use military force if necessary.
Split Over Constitution
The treaty between the two coun-
tries required a revision of the Hal
tian constitution, the witness said, in
order tha. the treaty provisions might
bo legalized, and the breach between
the Haitian assembly and the presi
dent was over adoption of three Of
these revisions.
The assembly not only refused to
incorporate these points III a new con
stitution but were on the point of
ratfying a new constitution. The
DArtnguenave government had pre-
pared a constitution in accordance
with terms of the United States which
had been sent to Washington. The
Haitian president, Gen. Cole added,
spilled the beans" by making public
al the correspondence bearing on this
draft.
Full Authority from Washington
Gen. Cole said he notified Washing
ton on June 18, 1916, that he would
proceed to effect the dissolution Of
the Haitian assembly. having exhaused
every argument to overcome its op-
position to the constitutional revi-
sions A reply was received to this
message, he said, giving him full dis
cretionary powers, but expressing the
desire that force be not used unless
necessary.
Both Gen. Cole and Brig Gen. L
| T. w. Waller, also of the Marine
corps.t agreed that the United States
would have to maintain martial law
in Haiti.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The

has ordered that the appointment OF
Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder

ate. The vote in the committee was
strictly along party lines, six Repub-
licans voting for and two Democrats
voting against Johnson.
Although the Senate committee has
favorably reported on Johns appoint
ment, it is BY no means certain that
the Senate will confirm the Georgia
Peach" Several Democrats, inciud-
ing Watson, of Georgia, are preparing
to fight confirmation on the floor of
the Senate.
1t will be remembered that the
Senate has once before refused to con-
firm Johnson on the strength of
