CAN LIVE cHEAPLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for Serv'
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti.
There is q hotel In Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
81 a day for a room and three square
meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient washbOwl, and uniockaDie,
with concrete floors xnd rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the United States
at double the price. Luncheon is
regular dinner and dinner is much like
an eight-course feast.
They never serve less than two or
three meats, when one, according TO
the American habit, would be enough.
There is fruit in abundance Iii Haiti,
and a boy standing on the front porch,
overlooking the sea, often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorite dish Is the chicken,
served 365 days in the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants to see a chicken after staying
three weeks in Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on a guest for 81 meals, beams MS
delight when tipped 8 gourdes. which
Is 60 cents. The maid, whose chief
duty is to spread the mosquito net.
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
a man extra towels for 3 gourdes
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti, if there were laundries There
is much to 60 out from each room
daily to washerwomen, and it comes
back spick and span at nominal cost
But Haiti has not reached the point
where it may bid for tourist travel
A man, stopping at the best hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
Is conducted to little house 90 feet
away, where he may get a shower
It's a hard life for women.
The best, however, is in sharp con
trast with the worst, for the laborel
gets 20 cents day, and thousands
Of natives live only on fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, ike
the roses.

Beware.

Green, Brown and johnson We're in

On the way there Brown remarked
to Johnson and Green:
"By the way, you fellows. 1 just
want to give you a friendly warning.
Beware of Robinson's champagne !"
So when the drinks were produced
Johnson and Green said they would
drink nothing stronger than lemonade.
Much to their surprise, however,
Brown did not follow their example,
but drank the champagne. So on the
way home they asked him:
"What really was the matter with
Robinson's champagne?"
"Oh, the quality was all right" re

SLAVES "soLD" BY BEEcHER
Would Be interesting to Know What
Became Of Women Great
Preacher Auctioned.

The partial destruction of old
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, recalls
the slave sale," conducted in the
place Of worship by Henry Ward
beecher to arouse his congregation,
which included auditors from all
parts of the country, to the facts
Of the traffic then sanctioned and
protected by the nation.
Two Young slave women, fugitives
from their owner, were sheltered un-
der Mr. Beecher's protection, he
agreeing to pay their master for
them if they were not restored. He
auctioned them off in his church,
his auditors under the stimulation
of his eloduenoe contributing gladly
to buy their freedom, which they
duly obtained.
There, as far as these slaves are
concerned, the tale ends. 1t would
be interesting to know what became
of the women Beecher sold; how
long they continued to excite popu-
lar sympathy and what their after
lives were. Did they marry and
bear children? Are descendants
alive now? Perhaps the grandson
of one of Beeecher's slaves fought
in France alongside the grandson
of his progenitor's owner.-New

WASHINGTON, April 13.-HouSe Democrats bound themselves, through caucus action today, to stand against the emergency tariff and anti-dump- ing bill, and Representative Kitchin. minority leader, made public a state ment of views of minority members of the ways and means committee bitterly sassailing the Republican tenn porary tariff program.
 Sharp differences arose in the eau GUS on instructing Democratic mem- bers to vote against the emersencY measure. but it finally was carried, 77 to 29. After the caucus Kitchin predicted less than a dozen Demo- cratic votes will be cast for the Young bill"
 In the minority report the Repubii- cans are accused of tossing into the lap of three great trusts-the pack CTS. the sugar trust and the woolen trust-$775.0 100000 a year." and nf seeking to disbar any future trade with the central powers and smaller states in Europe through "a subtle and dangerous joker" in directing the secretary of the treasury to fix the value of foreign money, as a basis for levying dut;es on imports
 The bill is characterized as even worse than its predecessor, the Ford. ney measure, by the report, which as serts if any advantage will inure any. where. it will be to the trusts, spec, ulators and profiteers."

ALLIES ACCEPT DECLARATION IF
 PRINCIPLES kS
 STATED BY J. ].
European Powers Show No Disposition To Chal-
 lenge Hughes Note
FRENCH SEND REPLY
Japan Expected To Invite Americans To Suggest
 What Move To Make

WASHINGTON. Aptril 13.-(By the Associated Press)-Inquiry in diplo- matic circles today failed to develop any disposition to challenge the soundness of the position of the American government that the Unit ed States has an equal right with the allied powers in disposal of the for mer German overseas possessions.
 While France alone has replied tO Secretary Hughes notes. it is gath cred from these inquiries that the exchanges now believed in progress between Japan and Great Britain will result in the admission of such Amer ican rights. It is expected. however. ther will be some variance of views. regarding the practical application of the general principles.
 France is understood to have ac- cepted the American view, and Italy, it is said, will give her full support to the claims of the United States. Italy failed to receive a mandate for any former enemy territories and her statesmen are said to have felt some regard should have been had for that provision of the treaty of London guaranteeing Italy fair share of the territories of the enemy.
 Japan also is understood to accept the declaration of principles made n Secretary Hughes note. but it's reply is expected to point out the difficrl ties of applying these principles to the satisfaction of all parties and to invite suggestion for a solution of the problem. In many cases the former enemy territories are being admins tered by the mandatory powers.
 In Japanese quarters it is asserted it would not be practicable to estaS fish an internationalized government over the island of Yap as demanded by the United States, because the is land is populated mostly by native Polynesians.
 There is some talk of the possibil ity of conference being called here of the representatives of the powers interested in the mandates. but 1t II intimated that before this can be don' an effort will be made to ascertain whether the American government concern as to the mandates Is limit ed to the territories where the Unite, States has special interests. such q cable facilities in Yap or whether intends to have voice in each mar date.
 The position of the administrator as to such direct negotiations remain to be defined. but it was indicated tC day by some officials who discus' ed reports from Tokio that Japa might propose a conference here [ take up problems at issue betwee that country and the United States that an admission of the America contention as to this country's right in the former German territories pro! erly should come first
