U. S. MARINES FALL
INTO HANDS OF
HAITIAN CANNIBALS
' I T
(Hjr Unlnrwl Serrlcc) - :
; , Washington.! Jan. 3.- At least
three American marines, as well as
cores o? native girls and children,
have been killed and disposed of by
cannibals in. Haiti within the last 14
months, according to detailed testi
fndny taken riy j the naval board of
: Inquiry j and prenented here for the
first time todiiy. j
The savagery which is practiced in the
; name of a new and terrible religion that
"has originated amOng the roving tribes
of the hill country; ha.3 struck terror
. to the hearts of the Haltien police and
Caused serious concern to the American
marines engaged in suppressing out
; Kwry and maintaining order on the
Island.- : . j . :.v.- j .1
The sacrifice of three children at a
, tariblei ceremony known as a, "moon
feast" '1 described in; thrilling detail

lt el a atj the trial at Cadeus Bellegarde.
a Cacos high priest, charged with, hav
l lng klUed them. : i:
'. One of the marlines known to , 'have
the been 'victim of the cannibals was
Private Clarence K.: Morris of Squadron
K,. First division,: marine aviation forces.
The body 'of Sergeant Lawrence Muth,
the second Victim, was cruelly mutilated.
The third, private Harry Lawrence, was
captured in a clash between a patrol
ofajnarlnes and a band of Cacos,' among
. whom the new religion has taken its
r 'most violent (form of killing-whites. No
trace of him has even been found. ' r
KILLED FBOX BEHIND ' "
, Although reports that the natives of
the inland brush and bill regions had
been sacrificing whites at their, sacred
r teats had been persistently circulated,
American authorities on the island had
no definite evidence of it until a year
ago, when Private Morris was killed
by Haitians, The report of Private Mor
ris' death, as made to the headquarters
of the marine corps here, revealed the
- circumstance. It follows:
"It appears that Private Morris left
3 his plane, taking with him the Lewis
, air. machine gun and three drums of
ammunition. (The plane had been dis-
b)-rd. He obtained three natives to
guide, him and later gave the machine
gun to one of the natives to carry. Be
coming tired, he sat down, and while In
this position one st the three natives
v caase behind and struck him with a ma
: chette, killing him. The natives then
took the machine gun. his clothes and
jl. ammunition, and . started to join the
4 bandits. The above information was
given by a. bandit chief who recently
surrendered.
: SERGEAXT MUTH KILLED
"Patrols ' were at once sent out to the
r position indicated by the bandit chief
' and the -information he gave led to the
recovery oi me remains or iTlvate Mor
ris, of hich by this time nothing but
bones and the Leather aviator's ; helmet
remained.. The machine gun was re-.
covered and about half the ammuni
tion." -. J .I'"-.
A supplementary report states that
the vicera'of Private Morris had been
wound around the -wires of the airplane.
Still more harrowing is the case of
Sergeant Muth. slain by the Haitieus
a few months later. Muth was shot
When a small force- of marines and
gendarmes- he was leading was -ambushed
and ' overwhelmed by a bandit
force. The marines and gendarmes re
treated but were later reinforced and
returned in pursuit of the outlaws.
TO-SECtBE ACCURACY.
The body of Sergeant Muth was found
near, the spot where. he had fallen. The
story of his fate appears. In the official
records, which read :
, "AH clothing had been removed from
the body of Sergeant Muth. The body-
pad "been badly mutilated and the head
cut off. ; "
Another . grim feature was added to
the' story a. short time later .in .the
capture iOf a bandit who had partici
pated in the clash. The-prisoner Btabed
that Sergeant Muth was still alive when
the bandits came across his body and
that Benoit, the - chief of the- bandits,
took a machette and chopped his head
nearly Off. ' '
" He' then summoned a Dominican chief
and had him completely sever the head,
the captive reported.
The third victim was Private Harry
Lawrence. He was discovered missing
after a skirmish with a bandit group.
Patrols were immediately dispatched, in
all directions 'in search of him. butino
trace was ever fo.und, although the au
thorities have recently come into the
possession of evidence indicating? he was
put to death and sacrificed at a feast of
-cannibals.' '
HATE "TEXT BOOK '
The- terrible tenets of the cannibal
creed are -contained in the grand men
tor, or "black Bible," as it is known
among -the natives. This book is said
,t to prescribe the complete ritual for the
tribal ceremony. No white man lias
ever seen a complete .-copy, although
. books found on captured' bandits pur
port to be parts of it. Evidence of ita
existence, however, is quite clear from
..V-stories told by deserters from Caco
bands. ' i f ' j .j

Shipping Board's
Rates to i Promote
Milling of Flour
Washington, Jan. (WASHINGTON
BUREAU OP .THE JOURNAL) On the
first of this month : the shipping board
put into effect its newly established
differential of 5 cents on export flour
over wheat, with the purpose of securing
a greater movement of flour, and en
courage the manufacture of flour In
this country. ' -f !
It Is stated that the board has viewed
the Unduly large movement of wheat
as compared with flour with "no little
concern,, for two reasons..: Flour oc
cupies less cargo space than wheat, and
if the milling is done in this country
the mill stuffs remain for consumption
in the he! market. .
While trom a purely operating stand
point, it : Is said,- wheat should move
at a materially lower rate, the board
from a. national standpoint is Interested
In pTomottrig the exportation of the
manufactured product, and it finds the
movement of flour; has been retarded

3. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OP THE JOUR
NAL) The speech of Representa
tive Julius Kahn of California upon
Japanese problems attracted more
than usual attention a few days ago,
because it gave the California view
point with conciseness and modera
tion of statement. "
Kahn disclaimed any desire to "look
down" on the Japanese as an inferior
race.- Their history and rapid develop
ment show the contrary, he said. It Js
not racial prejudice, but economic facts
that cause California to maintain a
firm front against the immigrant from
Nippon, he asserted.
JAPAJT EXCLUDES CHINESE .
' He. called attention to the fact that
Japan rigidly excludes Chinese and
Korean laborers - for the same reason
that: America rejects the laborer from
Japan. lie took up the land question
and pointed out : First, that each nation
has a right for itself to decide the dig
position . of ita lands'; second, thai the
United .States, in legislating for the Dis
trict of Columbia, has forbidden aliens
to acquire lands in the national capital ;
third", that whie Japan has a law re
moving, restrictions upon land owner
ship,: this law1 stands suspended until the
emperor proclaims the rules for putting
it into effect, and for 10 years the em
peror.'has refrained from action.
There is this distinction between the
Japanese law and the California legis
lation : The Japanese law applies to all
aliens, the California law only, to those
aliens who by the law of this country
cannot become citizens. Kahn held that
this question is so closely related to.
immigration that it is part of the tamo
issue, and that if the Japanese are
willing to have their emigrants excluded,
as they agreed themselves to do, tlyy
ought not to be excited, over the land
ownership issue, which is so clearly a
matter for internal regulation.
TE.UPEEAMEXT BLAMED
That there j is so much difficulty with
it .he attributed to agitators' in Japan
many of thern patriotic but moved ty
peculiar excitability, which is manifested
in the physical attacks upon premiers
and ministers of -government which are
freely found in Japanese annals. It is
the temperament of the people, he -said,
yhich has no parallel in this country,
and which has to be considered in con
sidering the outbreaks of anti-foreign
feeling in the island empire..
The Japanese People have housed a
grievance against this country since the
close of the war with Russia, said Mr.
Kahn, when President Roosevelt brought
about, peace and the Japanese realized fM
that no indemnity had been exacted by
their government. : They believed that
had Roosevelt not intervened the war
would" in a little time have yielded 'them
such complete victory that Russia would
have paid a! large indemnity, -i
DOESN'T EXPECT TAB
Tlrfe speaker explained how the system
of adoption and the picture bride custom
enabled thousands of Japanese to enter
the country' in spite of the gentlemen's
agreement, and recalliil that Japan her
self haa taken steps t end the coming
of the picture brides.
Kahn concluded with the declaration
that America will ! be concilliatory. and
he entertains no fear of war with Japan
during (his lifetime, but that the tenden
cies of Japanese propaganda and the
necessity of concession to temperamental
excitement Ion the part of Japanese
statesmen make a problem for serious
thought. In the1, face of which, America
should be "measurably prepared" for
whatever may come. -
