AMERICANS SAND
CLUBBED HAITIENS
Witness Before Senate Committee
Says Natives Were Tortured
to Force Confessions

Washington, Nov. IL Differing
views as to the results OF American
occupation in Haiti were presented
Monday to the special senate investi
eating committee by a trio of wit
nesses.
Richard Il. Forrest OF Rye, n. ",
the first of the three, said that the
work done by the American forces
toward restoration of law and order
was truly remarkable and that dis
appointment which he said was felt
by the Haitlens, was due to~faifure
in their expectations of being quickly
raised into a state of prosperity.
The second witness. Max Fucker
raan, of Boston, who enlisted in the
marine corps as Joseph Rosenthal Of
New York city and served in Haiti
from November 1915. until October,
1918. testified that third degree prac-
tees were inflicted upon native pris-
oners, who, he said. were pelted with
~sandbags and lifted until their toes
only touched the ground III order to
wiring from them information concern
ing cacos OF bandits.
Fines imposed by provost court
upon natives was used to purchase fur
niture. stationery and other supplies
and to pay marines serving with the
court additional wages, 2uckerman
declared.
The natives, as a unit, did very
good work. but there was some indi
vidual feeling among the men against
the natives he added. Later, under
examination by counsel for the com
mittee, Zuckerman testified that the
marines followed orders not to fire
until fired upon, that sand clubs were
used upon the natives in the presence
Of Captain Torrey Of the marine corps
who questioned prisoners after thy
had been beaten, but that nc Ameri
can officer was present when prison
ers were strung up to force comics
sions. or when natives were fired upor
by gendarmes. He placed the respon
sibility for the i'll treatment of the ma
I lives, with the exception Of the sane
clubbing incidents, upon the native
gendarmesr

they falls down.
Most of 'em steps on the exhllira-
TOR an drives in speedy, but they don't
roll inter place, but leaves the car on
the floor, careless like, an says, 'youll
put it away, won't you, hoy?'
There's a reason. Most Of the
DANES don't know how to back up.
