WOMAN ACCUSES
MARINES OF DEATH
Here to Tell Investigators of
Haitian Troubles What
Happened.

The murder Of Harris Iifschitz,
in Haiti. in June, 1891, which
caused at the time considerable
ilI-feeling against the Haitian ma
tives. is charged to the Marine
Corps by Martha Heron Foley, a
New York magazine writer. who
spent nine weeks in Haiti before
the arrival of the Congressional
investigation committee.
Miss Foley has come to Wash :
ington to appear before the Haiti
Congressional investigating COM
mittee which will open its hearings
within two weeks. at the request
of Ernest Angel attorney for the
Haitian patriotic organizations.
According to her information.
Lifschitz. a former vice consul
and latterIy a merchant IN Saint
Louis on the southern coast OF
Haiti. was slain because he pro-
tested against alleged Marie atroc-
tiles. Some months before he died,
Lifschitz had been deported to
Cuba. Miss Foley said. He then
came to Washington and protested
to Representative Siegal, of New
York-the original home OF Lif-
schitz-and urged an investigation.
Siegal conducted an investigation
and made a report to the Navy De-
partment on Lifschitz's behalf. As
a result Lifschitz was permitted to
return to Haiti at the navy's ex-
pense.
Miss Foley said no report was
ever made by the lieutenant of Ma
rines in charge of the Saint Louis
district where Lifschitz met his
death.
The Marines do nothing but
drink and gamble and carry on in
trigues with other mems wives,
Miss Foley says.

PITY FOR DEBS

Reason for Enforcement

He Declares.

Pity for the weakened physical
condition Of Eugene V. Debs, to-
gether. with a feeling Of leniency

torney General Daugherty to recon-
mend the Communication Of his SEN
tence to President Harding.
For this act of executive grace,
the gratitude Of Debs will be
measured by his conduct in the flu
rure." Daugherty said in making
public his recomme ndations in the
Debs case.
After summing up the history OF
Debs' discriminating public utter
ances, Daugherty arrives at the
conclusion that Debs rs not a
normal man mentally on this par
ticular subject. his obsession clear
" preventing him from acquiescing
in the final decision of the courts
respecting the limitations of free
dom OF speech as guaranteed by the
Constitution"
Says Theories REASONABLE.
-He is a man of much personal
charm and Impressive personality,
the statement continues In the
work he has undertaken, these quail
tiles make him a very dangerous
man. calculated to mislead the un-
thinking and afford an excuse for
those with criminal intent. So lar

for Daugherty's statement so rec

President Harding prevailed upon
the Attorney General to order Deos

Daseherty points, out that the
