IN HAUL
By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Gen-
eral Smedley D. Butler will come
back to Philadelphia to speak at
a military gathering tonight with
another international incident be-
ing discussed.
The marine corps officer, accord
ing 70 friends, has requested Navy
Secretary Charles Adams to make
an official investigation Of remarks
attributed to Dantes Bellegrade,
Haitian minister to the United
States, which had to do with Cen
eral Buffers service in Haiti
A recent interview With the
Haitian minister which was printed
in a washington newspaper, quoted
him as saying that TT. Riviera, IN
Haiti: where fighting occurred for
which General Butler was awarded
a Congressional Medal OF Honor,
did not exist then and does not
now. and that the fact is not only
known to Haitians, but also is the
subject both of amusement and in
dignation"
Like Former Letter
General Buffers letter, it was un-
derstood, followed closely the form
of the letter when the navy depart
ment wrote the general last winter,
after he had spoken in Philadelphia
and insinuated that Mussolini was
g "hit-and-run" driver.
It inquired Of Secretary Adams
whether the navy department stands
ready to protect the reputation of
its officers, If they are attacked by
foreigners the same as it would pro-
tect foreigners attacked in speeches
by Americans.
When the interview with the
Haitian minister first was called to
Buffers attention, he proposed to
laugh it off, as being unworthy OF
comment, friends here said.
Friends Urge Explanation
But his friends, both in civilian
and military life, urged him to re-
quest an explanation, it was said,
not only for his own sake. but for
the honor of the numerous in
dividuals and governmental bodies
which equally are concerned, if the
reported interview is authentic.
In his formal request for an in
vestigation, the general asked first
that the navy department actually
determine if the Haitian minister
said what he was reported to have
said.
That was the manner which the
government handled the "Mussolini
Incident" with General Butler, for
which he was ordered court mar
tailed, and later was cleared with a
formal reprimand.
The formal citation which was
awarded General Butler with his
second congressional medal of honor
in connection with Haiti read:
Planned to Attack Fort
''On Nov. II, 1915, it was planned
20 attack Ft. Riviera, Haiti, with
a force made up of detachment;
from the Fifth. Thirteenth anc
Twenty-second companies. and the
marine detachments and sailors
from the Connecticut.
''Ft. Riviera was an old French
baStian fort about 200 feet on the
side, with thick walls of brick and
stone, the walls being looped-holed
The original entrance had been
on the northern side, but had been
blocked, small breach in the
southern wall being used in its
stead"
Two men entered the fort ahead
Of General Butler, doing so to pre-
vent him from being the first, the
citation reads.
Theirs" it continues, was de-
votion to him, while his action wa;
devotion to duty. The assault in
side the fort was made by twenty
three men with the knowledge that
no quarter would be given them"

It originally contemplated building new plant. Messrs. Mills and Bolshanin went to the States sev- eral weeks ago to make arrange ments for this construction. They were approached by Booth Fish cries representatives with such an advantageous proposition that the company decided to purchase the established plant rather than build new one.

WOMAN'S BODY FOUND UNDER
 WHARF HERE
Black Cat on Nettie Cas- person Attracts Atten-
 ton to Remains

Nettie Casperson, a white woman, about AS years old, was found dead this morning under an old wharf at the rear of Connor's Garage on Front Street. The body was lying face downward on the ground, evil dently having been brought in by a high tide and left stranded by the receding water Her death is supposed to have occcured yester- day afternoon or last night.
 The woman had resided here many years. Some time ago she went to the States. She returned last December. Recently she took a room at the Alaskan Hotel and was last seen alive there yester- day forenoon. She is believed to have drowned herself, An inquest was to be held by United States Commissioner Charles Sey late this afternoon.
 The remains were found by George Jorgenson, employed at Connor's Garage. He had gone be- heath the wharf at 10:30 this morning to look for a skiff that he had tied there a few days ago. Among the, piling, he noticed a short distance away black cat sitting on what appeared to be a bundle of clothing. On approach ing close to the animal, he realized it was on the body of woman. He at once notified the United States Commissioner. At the di- rection of the Commissioner, the Charles w. Garter Mortuary took charge of the remains.

NO ORADIO N ENGLAND. IT'S "WIRELESS" THERE:
 EVEN FANS DON'T EXIST
By EDWARD STANLEY

LONDON, Jan. 8.-There isn't any radio in England-it's wire less"
 There are no fans-they're "li- censees." And there isn't any ad- vertising on the air.
 Apart from those differences, broadcasting in England is even more fundamentally dissimilar to the American variety.
 In England it is quasi-official monopoly, supported by listeners taxes and not conducted for profit. It is controlled by board of di- rectors which must meet the kings approval. Programs must be "to the reasonable satisfaction" of the postmaster general
 The concern is the British Broad casting corporation usually known only by initials-the BEG. It draws it's income directly from those it serves.
 Must Secure License
 To own a radio set, or, rather to receive, a Briton must take out a license, costing about $25O yearly This is collected by the Postoffice Department. Ninety percent of the fees collected for the first million licenses goes to the corporation, 80 per cent of the second and so on The government gets the rest. The corporations income for 1929 to 1890 was, roughly, $6,000,000. not a large sum compared with that of American chains.
 So far about 3,500,000 licenses have been issued in England, Scot land and Wales. Incidentally, the postoffice department has found il necessary to employ defective van to hunt out unlicensed listen CTS. Eight hundred were found ir Cardiff. But as rule moral sua- sion is employed
 Physical Setup
 The physical setup is much ths same as any American chain. The main studio and transmitting sta tions are in London Here, too, the company's new building is nearing completion. The transmitting sta. ton is in the country, just outside the city, as is now the common American practice.
 Tn all the BEG has 21 stations scattered about the United King. dom. Only eight are powerful sta. tions. The others are relay points with radius of about seven mile! each.
 The centers of broadcasting art London, Manchester, Cardiff ane another station midway betweer Edinburg and Glasgow. Each O these operates on two wave-lengths each wavelength giving differen program.
 High Powered Stations In addition there are soon to b high-powered single-wave station at Daventry, for middle England and Belfast, for northern Ireland The 1,554-meter station at Day entry will broadcast what is callet the national program, which l now from London. This program is designed for the whole Unite' Kingdom and is available for on

ANOTHER SOLUTION

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 12.- Dr. J. J. Seelman, of Milwaukee, Director of the Association Against the Eighteenth Amendment, has proposed a plan which he said will permit of liquor manufacture and sale without repeating the Eigh- teenth Amendment. This hinges upon the oath of each purchaser not to become intoxicated.
 Dr. Seelman argues that the Amendment "does not prohibit al- coholic liquors for beverage pur- poses when not intoxicating and liquor is not intoxicating when moderately consumed" therefore liquor will not be illegal if used moderately.
 To carry out the plan it would be necessary for Congress to use its power to interpret the term of intoxicating liquor as meaning li- quors which intoxicate Anyone getting drunk, after giving an oath, would be punished.

HUGE GAIN
Million More Cars Than 80,
Analyst Claims.

The prediction that the automo-
bile industry would lead the coun-
try out Of the business depression
by production of a million more
cars than last year was made today
by Milan V. Ayres. analyst for the
National Association of Finance
Companies, who pointed out that
the replacement of WORKOUT and
junked cars this year should exceed
the actual number Of cars produced
last year.
In the analysts opinion, this
years production of new cars will
exceed any year in history with the
exception of 1929.
"These computations show that
more than three million cars will be
retired this year, which is more
than the total number of cars made
and sold in this country in 1880,
Mr.. Ayres said.
Furthermore, the 1880 production
was scarcely more than enough to
replace the cars normally worn out
and scrapped in that year. There
fore, unless many people who have
acquired the habit of riding in auto
mobiles are going to go back to
walking, 1881 must witness q very
large increase in the number of cars
produced"
