PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti December
1o.-Haiti resumed its normal aspect
today, confident that there would be
no continuation of week end rioting,
which cost lives of five natives and
more than a score wounded.
President Louis Borno issued man
ifesto charging that ambitious persons
wishing change in the government
had caused the disorders. He praised
the American forces for the manner
IN which they performed their duties
under the treaty with Haiti.
The president charged that these
"ambitious persons" worked principally
among the students of the country,
spreading disquiet and unrest, exploit
ing through equivocal contrivances the
ardent and generous feeling of youth.
They succeeded in disorganiz1ng the
educational institutions and compromis-
ing the future of the entire mass OF
young people
Refugees at Port au Prince.
Families of Americans at Aux Cages
and Jeremie arrived here safely on
the naval vessel Woodcock after evacu-
alton as a precautionary measure in
cident to the attack on Aux Cages last
Friday. The American women said
more casualties might be revealed in
the heavy cane growth around the
scene of the Skirmish last Friday.
This cane is now being cut by pris-
oners to prevent its being used again
as cover in the event of another attack.
Among those arriving on the WoodcocE
were Mrs. Roy Swink of StroudSburg
Pa; Mrs. Berroyer of Pana, ILL.,, and
Mrs Maumus of New Iberia, La.
Mrs. Maumus told of the only Marine
casualty, Pvt. Lester Gillapsey of Ten
ney, Mimi, who ordered a leader OF
the mob to withdraw and struck him
with the butt of an automatic rife
when he refused. The man tackled Gil
lapsey and bit him on the leg, but Pvt
William Meyeres of Elmore, Ala,
charged with his bayonet and forced
the man to release his comrade.
Reports Made Public.
Marine Corps authorities made pub
lie the reports of Capt. Roy Swink OF
the National Guard and his fellow off,
GERS on the encounter at Aux Cages.
A Marine patrol under Lieut.. Blan-
chard, with Chief Marine Gunner Cal
vim Lloyd and % enlisted men, COM
prised the defending force.
The force was equipped with five au-
tomato rifles, eight Springfield rifles
nine automatic pistols and six bayonets
They fired only when it was apparent
the attacking mob was waiting fol
darkness to storm their position, and
375 shots were fired altogether, many

LEGISLATOR TRIES
TO SCORE STATES
Schafer Wanted to Tell
House of Liquor in South
Carolina and Nebraska.

Washington and its law enforcement
agencies nearly found a champion in
the House yesterday when Representa-
tive Schafer of Wisconsin asked permis-
sion to call the attention of some of the
Districts severest congressional critics
to certain housekeeping jobs in their
own bailiwicks which, he said, have
been sadly neglected.
Representative Schafer asked for
unanimous permission to address the
House for 10 minutes. Representative
Fuller, Democrat, of Arkansas objected.
Schafer Outlines His Views.
Questioned as to the nature of his
proposed discourse, the Representative
from Wisconsin replied:
ITO briefly discuss the question Of
law violation, and particularly the hi
lacking and consumption of evidence in
prohibition cases by jurieS in South
Carolina and oregon, and to make brief
remarks about prohibition enforcement
in Omaha, Nebr."
Schafer said after he left the floor
that he desired to make the speech to
show liquor consumption was high in
the home States Of some of the would
be crusaders who are always talking
about conditions in Washington, D. c."
The Wisconsin Representative said he
had figures to show that in Omaha,
Nebr., there had been great increase
in arrests of drunken automobile driv-
ers, which he thought Senator Howell
Republican, of Nebraska, would like to
obtain. Howell recently has attacked
prohibition enforcement conditions in
Washington.
Conditions in Other States.
In South Carolina, Schafer said, the
Supreme Court was considering a case
where a jury drank the evidence in a
prohibition case which he would like
to bring to the attention of Senator
Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina.
Blease also has assailed the dry-law
enforcement in the Capital.
A similar case in oregon, Schafer
said, he desired to discuss to show both
Senators BleaSe and Howell that the
West coast had the same liquor con-
sumption problems as their States and

REV. F. A. TONDORF
DIES AT HIS DESK
Noted Jesuit Scientist of
Georgetown Was Quake
Authority.

Rev Francis A. Tondorf, S. j.,
eminent authority on earthquakes in
the world of science and director of the
chronological observatory at George
town University since 1908, died sud-
denly Of heart attack about o'clock
this morning. He was found fully
dressed in his room at Georgetown Col
lege.
A man who spent most of his life
with his books and earthquake instru-
ments, Father Tondorf died as he lived
Two volumes devoted to the science of
seismology were found opened on his
desk near his body. Although COM
planning of the high blood pressure of
which he was a sufferer, Father Tondorf
ate supper last night. as usual. with
members of the religious community
at Georgetown. 1t was customary for
him to arise at o'clock each morn
ing and say mass in one of the chapels
at 4:30 o'clock. This morning he failed
to appear at the mass. although he
had been heard moving about his room
Later one of the brothers went to his
room to make inquiries of him and
found the scientist dead. DR.. william
Gwynn was summoned.
Shock to Faculty.
Father Tondorf's death came as a
great shock to the members of the
Georgetown faculty. In point of service
he was the oldest member of the COM
munity. having been at the university
continuously for upward of rs years
His loss as director Of the Seismological
Observatory, one of the finest equipped
in the world, was said to be irreparable
There is at present no trained
Seismologist at Georgetown to take his
place.
Aside from the realm of seismology,
Father Tondorf was active in other
pursuits of science. He was an au-
thority In r lysics, pathology and
biology, and, in addition to other duties,
had been appointed head of the depart
ment Of physiology in the Georgetown
School OF Medicine last September This
was subject he had taught in the
school previously up to 1924.
Overwork undoubtedly brought on the
ailments that caused sudden death.
Frequently the scientist worked until
midnight in his laboratory, checking
the earthquake records on the six ma
chimes in the observatory.
These records he issued in bulletin
form to chronological obServatorieS
throughout the world, and as a result
of his researches and accurate read
ings, he was as we'll known abroad as
in the United States. Besides compil-
ing complete list of all earthquakes,
he reported earth disturbances for years
to the Associated Press and other news
agencies.
Gives News of Disaster.
At the time of the quake in Toxic,
Father Tondorf's machines were the
first to bring the tidings of that great
disaster. He located the earthquake In
Japan nearly three hours before the
first press dispatch was sent out from
Toxic, and gave this information to the
