and maintained their power by mill

The condition of the Haytian repub-
nc from 1911 to the date of the inter
vention was matter OF grave concern
to the United States government. For
some years prior 10 the intervention
the United States had endeavored to
secure treaty with Hayti designed to
assist the Haytians in establishing a
stable government and to remedy the
chaotic condition of the finances.
In December 1914, the American
Minister presented q project for com
vention based on lines similar to that
Of the Dominican-American treaty.
which had effected complete reform
in the financial affairs OF the Domini-
can republic. On the 18TH Of that
month the American representative
was informed that the Haytian govern
ment would not consider this project
1t was therefore withdrawn, the Am eri-
can minister stating that mis- govern

In February, 1915, Theodore was de-
posed by Nilbrun Guillaumc Sam, and
on the 18th of March an American com
mission vainly endeavored to secure
the consent Of the Sam government to

In May, 1915, Paul Fuller, accredited
as envoy extraordinary, notified the
Haytian government that recognition
would not be accorded the Sam admin
istration unless project for a CON
vention could be agreed upon. In June
Mr. Fuller returned to the United
States with a counter proposition en-
bodying certain notifications as pro-
posed by the Haytian government.

/ The conventional policy OF the short
lived governments Of Hayti CATER us
the deluge'D created a condition which
made capital investment so hazardous
that for many years practically none
of the profits realized from the sae
Of Haytian products has been returned
to create productive enterprises. As
a result, the republic, practically bank

foreign and domestic debts and claims,

could the objects Of the treaty be
achieved.
While there is no question that both
governments entered into the treaty in
good faith. and while it is absurd to
doubt the absolute integrity of the
United States government in its posi-
tion toward Hayti, the fact remains
that although peace aud tranquility
have been stabished and much good
has been accom- plished, the interven-
tion has not been an unqualified sue
cess.
The lack Of progress toward material
bettcrment OF conditions during the
years since the intervention. due to
many complicated causes, has been a
great disappointment to both Haytian
and American advocates of the treaty
The reasons for this unsatisfactory
situation are not hard to find
1t is now generally admitted that the
treaty in itself is inadequate. There
apparently has been no definite or well
considered program for effective CO.

the United States government in Hayti
The Haytians have failed to cooper
ate effectively with the American ad-
visers in necessary and vtally impor-
tant steps toward the attainment Of
the objects of the treaty.

Senatorial Investigating committee

The appointment of a High Commits

Brigadier General John H. Russell for
this post was in every way a most
fortunate one. General Russell, dur
ing two terms as brigade commander

demonstrated his complete fitness
for this most difficult and important
position Above all other considera-

value of over $1,000, 900 while large
areas of ideal rice land are unculti-
waited. Tobacco, which forms one Of
the great staple exports of Cuba and
Porto Rico. is imported into Hayti for
local consump ption. The mineral re
sources of Hayti while problematical,
are we'll worthy OF a thorough investi
cation. The prospects for the develop

IN the north which are believed to con.
tain oil bearing formations which have

court that Mrs. Philip Lydigm, his
former wife, and the Rev. Perry
Stickney Grant, prominent clergy
man, "were living together at

Stokes, who made this charge
while he was being examined in

Mrs. Lydigm, society leader, had
a contract with the late William

pay her $4,000 a month for life.

OPEN BREAK IS
AGAIN AVERTED
IN IRISH PARLEY

London, June 6.-(By Associ-
ated Press. Rupture Of TIE Irish
negotiations again has been avert
ed, but there is little disposition
here to take very optimistic view
of the situation.
The answers of Arthur Griffith,
president OF the Dali Eireann to
six questions put to him by the
British cabinet the nature of
which was not given out, were
declared satisfactory following
which Mr.. Griffith left last night
for Dublin and Prime Minister
Lloyd George for his Whitsunside
holiday at Criccieth, Wales.
The gloomy feeling here was
increased by Mr.. Griffith s state
ment before his departure that the
position appeared the same as it
was before.
The question of influence of
Eamon De Valera, the Irish re-
publican leader, crops out in many
speculations and it Is assumed
there will have to be some modifi-
cations In his pact with Michael
Collins before the rival views re-
garding the new Irish constitution
can in any way be harmonized.
One extreme opinion is that Col
Inns is entireley in DeValera g
hands as a result of their agree
ment and cannot scape even If he
wishes.

|G|ANT FRAUD IS
LAID TO PHILLIPS

Washington, June 5.-Issuance
of a warrant for the arerst of j.
L. Phillips, chairman of the re-
publican. state committee fG
Georgia, charging fraud in the
execution of war contracts, led to
expectations of further rapid de-
velopments today as the special
grand jury investigating war
fraud cases entered the second
week of Its deliberations.
Phillips, as a member OF the
firm Of Phillips G. Stevens, shortly
after the armistice obtained con
tract from the government as the
agent Of a conference of lumber
dealers to dispose of surplus lum-
ber left from cantonment and
camp construction and other war
developments.
In recent speech In the house,
Representative Woodruff, Michi-
gan, asserted that government
auditors had filed reports with the
department Of justice in Septem-
Der, 1921, showing that Phillips
& Stevens still owed the govern
ment under their contract more
than $1,85O,000. While the con-
tract called for the disposal Of
spruce, pine, hemlock and fir lum-
ber only, Representative Woodruff
said, the report showed the firm
had sold more than fifty varieties,
including much valuable hard
wood.

ROTARY CLUB OF
WORLD MAY ALTER
ITS CONSTITUTION

Los Angeles, Cal, June 5.-Con
sideration of the draft of a new
constitution and by laws for In
ternational Rotary that give ma
tional groups of clubs authority
to organize national associations
and make other radical depar-
lures in the form of government
Of the Organization will be the
most important feature Of the
thirteenth annual convention of
the world wide organization
which opens here tomorrow.
In anticipation OF these discus
sions ten thousand Rotarians rep
resenting every section of the
world have gathered in Los An
geles. Twenty two countries will
be represented at what Is re-
garded as the greatest information
al gathering this city has even
entertained. Each of the sixty
eight clubs in the British Isles
will be representative English,
Irish, Scotch and Welsh Rotarians
in the city number almost one
hundred. From far off Australia,
South America, Cuba, Mexico,
Porto Rico, to say nothing of the
thousand clubs in Canada and the
United States, the delegates have
been flocking into Los Angeles on
every train and on dozens of spe-
cials from all quarters.
The proposed constitution, sub
mitted by committee that in
cluded a representative of every
one of the Rotary districts, was
drafted after ten days of the most
con tinuous committee sessions in
the history of the organization in
Chicago and frequent shorter meet
ings in Chicago and elsewhere.
The committee first met In Chi
cago November IA last and re-
mained in session, night and day,
for ten days. Samuel Botsford of
Buffalo, N. ", past international
vice president, was chairman of
the committee. Three representa-
tives were present from the Brit
ish Isles and one from Cuba. Ev-
cry angle of Rotary international
was considered before the commit
tee adjourned. Since then there
have been repeated meetings of
the committee and its sub-com-
mittees, so determined was the
chairman and his associates that
this time Rotary should have an
international constitution that
would be acceptable to all clubs
The present constitution and
bylaws was adopted at Duluth,
Mimi, in August, 1912, when the
former National association of Ro
tary clubs Of America adopted
amendments to it's constitution
and bylaws, wherein the name of
the organization was changed to
the international Association of
Rotary Clubs" From year to year
since the first international con-
yention amendments were adopted |
as the Rotary organization grew
and the need was felt for clearer
or more definite statements of its
international activities. These
amendments or additions often re-
Quired an entire change of several
sections of the existing constitu
tion and bylaws. Extended re-
visions were made at the 1915 and !
1916 conventions.
