HAITI COMMISSION
DEFEATS BOYCOTT
Opposition Press Loses in
Fight to Keep Witnesses
From Appearing.

- the Associated Press
PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti, March /.
President Hoover's commission 70 in
vsstigate conditions in Haiti met and
conquered its first opposition today on
the very morning after its arrival on
the U. 8. s. Rochester.
When the commission opened its first
session this morning to hear testimony
from all Haitians, who had been in
vited to come freely and without fear
in the statement issued yesterday, no
one arrived to testify. The mystifled
commissioners finally were informed
that the opposition press had advised
the people to stay away, believing the
present commission was only "a second
Mccormick commission"
Boycott Ends During Day.
The opposition leaders consider that
the Mccormick commission, which in
vestigated conditions in Haiti and the
Dominican Republic in 1921 under
Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois,
did no more than hear "al the past
misdeeds Of the occupation and threw
their books into the ocean without
remedying the situation"
The boycott ended during the day
after the commission had issued
statement simplifying that of yesterday,
and saying: I'VE are not another Nc
Cormick commission. but are here
looking to the future and not to the
past. We want to find from the
people how and when the occupation
can cease and national institutions be
re-establiShed.
Before drawing up their statement
the commissioners conferred privately
xr-ifh CD nf ha
Nouvelliste, which strongly opposes
President Borno.
White Proposes Union.
william Allen White Of Emporia,
Kans, one of the commissioners, sug-
gested during the first meeting today
that a new kind of Pan-American
Union, of an informal economic type
without political character, be formed
for the purpose Of advising small and
unstable States on the way to stabilize
their governments.
Mr.. Whites suggestion came out dur
ing the questioning Of Pierre de Les
pinasse. Haitian lawyer and historian,
who was the first person to appear and
make suggestions for the commission.
It met with the approval Of Lespinasse.
Lespinasse declared that Haiti's mis-
fortunes had been brought in from the
outside and from the United States.
He asked that government without
American supervision be established.
We hope the United States viii not
long continue to permit the 81 men
who form the Haitian Council of State
TO run the country to suit themselves,
but viii allow us to re-establish govern
mental elections" Lespinasse told the
commission.
W. Cameron Forbes, chairman of the
commission, said there probably would
be no abrupt end to American occpa-
ton of Haiti because Of possible danger
to the economic situation.

TAFT RALLY SEEN

Former Chief Justice Better,
But No Hope Felt by
Doctors.

of how long his ebbing strength could
last
Mr.. Taft's vitality in the face of
death that might come at any moment
was declared by his physicians to be
amazing. They warned inquirers, how
ever, that the general condition of the
patient virtually was unchanged, and
that sinking spell could take him of
in Ave minutes. But with his heart
stronger, they said, he might linger for
three or four days.
Cheerful Bulletin Issued.
The first bulletin that has not report
ed loss In three days was issued at
noon yesterday. 1t follows:
The condition Of the former Chief
Justice is slightly improved, as evil
denced by . moderate rise in his blood
pressure, which had been falling con-
tinuously for the past three days.
DIR. CLAYTON.
DIR. HAGNER."
The following additional bulletin was
issued through the White House at Z
o'clock last night:
THE former Chief Justice has had q
quiet day. He has taken nourishment
fairly well. There has been no change
for the better in his general condition
DIR. HAGNER,
DIR. CLAYTON"
The bulletins, however, sound more
optimistic than the doctors feel. They
do not wish TO forbid friends and rela-
tives- few minutes of faint hope, but
they realize, 1t was said, that rally
such as Mr.. Taft had today might be
he 20 fay
survival Just before the end. In such
an event his death might occur within
few hours, they said.
Presidents Second Visit.
The President and Mrs Hoover called
at the Taft home on their way home
from the funeral of Mrs. Lawrence
Richey, wife Of Mr.. Hoover's executive
secretary. 1t was their second visit
since Mr.. Taft became ILL. The first
occurred few days after Mr.. Taft re-
turned from Asheville, N. @. At that
time the former Chief Justice received
both In his room and chatted for 10
minutes with the President.
Neither the Pres.de nor Mrs. Hoover
went to the second floor, where Mr..
Taft has his room, during todays visit.
They talked for few minutes with Mrs.
Taft and Robert A. Taft, the younger
son. Herbert Hoover, jr., who is visit
ing his parents over the week end, re-
NAMED In the car. The President and
Mrs. Hoover offered Mrs. Taft any as
sistance she might need.
Vice President Curtis also was
caller at the Taft home. The Vice
President and former Chief Justice
have been warm friends for years.
Archbishop Pietro FumaSoni- Biondi,
apostolic delegate in the United States,
was another caller. Mrs. Taft spent
much Of the day at her husbands bed
side, but she left the house twice, once
to visit the Congressional Library and
the second time to 60 marketing.

 It was 6 o'clock when, having waited supper for him for an hour, his mother set out for the party to drag away happy and excited boy.
 Pm disappointed in you, Tom my" she said. You know better than to be late. I guess you're nothing but a baby after all"
 Tommy could think of nothing to say in his own defense, but anyone who understands children can. Il is one thing to- be old enough and clever enough to tell time, quite an other to have the self-control neces- sary to leave an exciting party. A bright six year old can easily dc the first, but many man or wom' an of thirty has not yet learned te do tRe second.
 Mothers of bright children ire quently make the mistake of expect ing from them q degree of emotional control on par with their intellect ual development.
 In the growth of any child 1t IS usually a long time before emotiona control and self discipline catch ur with mental capacity.

Silk or silk and wool ribs as well as spun silk ribs, take multitudinous forms, such as twist ed or straight ribs, little ribs, bis ribs. ribs thin or fat ribs pinched or hulging ribs like faille. morro an1 flamingo to almost the old-time cote de ChcyalS.

MagEy Rouff herself wore charming day dress in gray pinchcd rib and almost every couturicr in Paris showed plain or printed versions for the silk taillcur. Miller Socurs used tiny dot-printed rib for jacket suit with nipped waist. Lucille Paray featured a hish. .waisted packet in tricot rib ot biscuit color with a wide cote Ge chaval for the black skirt.
 Third fact of importance in fab rics is the reinsurance that prints arc Sill good. But do not think last years prints will do. They won't. J&Cquered prints are very new. Cn- Gerstand the word "jacquered' for you will meet it often. It means designs woven into the material n

 This brings us to the important fashion of silk suits. Small spaced designs are newest, not too many colors. Dots, checks, little flowers are good. For teatime froclls in two- color larger patterns appear in the new short sleeve and cape models.
 Printed chiffons for country club dinner and evening wear reflect clear shades in large, graceful, spaced designs. Patou's use of rose pattern chiffonS was quite outstand- ing and unusually charming. Often the plain or printed chiffon summer evening frock takes its printed chif- ion short wrap or a printed taffeta one in the same design.
 Satins, soft as moleskins and with considerable luster, are smart for the formal evening gown or evening ensemble. Patou, of course, intro- duced them in his rose opalime. Bruyere in pure white and Paray T
