Dec. 14.—“Monda Rose.” also known as "The Queen of the Bridal Path," who, In ordinary life, Is Mrs. Rosa Sellwelberg, came into Judge Kersten’s court, at a gentle canter, smiled, was dismissed and single-footed out again. A few months ago “Monda Rose" wt much in the spotlight when she Bed t Winnepeg, pursued by the charge tbu ahe had embezzled SIO,OOO from a firm of leather goods manufacturers, where •he spent prosaic days as bookkeeper and general factotum. When the laid aside her working etothes. she went to her luxurious apartments in the exclusive North Shore residence district, bad her groom bring out her riding horse and became, until time to punch the clock next morning, "Monda Rose,’’ a woman of mystery. Sha entertained and was entertained at costly hotels and had a long train of admirers trailing In her wake On the south side, not far from her place of employment, a butcher boy also would doff his soiled aprcn, put on yellow riding boots and tweeds and sham the gay North Shore life with her.

Marines ’ Work in Haiti Is Warmly Defended Admiral 9 s Report to Daniels Denies Indiscriminate Killings .

Dec. 14.—Charges that American Marines in Haiti have been guilty of indiscriminate killing of men, women and children are absolutely unfounded, according to the report of Rear Admiral Harry S. Knapp to Secretary of Navy Daniels today. Though admitting that the marines may have made mistakes. Admiral Knapp warmly defended the administration of Justice, and asserted that except for a negligible percentage of malcontents, the population of Haiti welcomed their presence on the island. NATIVES UNFIT TO TAKE CHARGE. Admiral Knapp believes the Haitians would rapidly sink back into banditry and anarchy If the United States forces were withdrawn. At least a generation muAt pass, he asserted, before Haiti can produce "siif Helent men of high enough standards to provide personnel for an honest administration and a background of honest population for its support.” It is entirely possible that 3.000 Haitians have been killed since American occupation in 1915, the Admiral stated, but he denied emphatically that women and children had been killed by Americans l and insisted that those shot were Oacos, or bandits. Intermitent fighting with these lawless bauds culminated some months ago and | now good order prevails practically throughout the Island. ENFORCED LABOR ON ROADS LEGAL. Charges that strangulation and Hogging were resorted to are absolutely denied. The Admiral admitted that the “corvee” system of enforced labor on roads has been employed under American occupation and pointed out that such service tickets until 2:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon, after which the doors will be thrown open to all. A special final rehearsal will be held by the Community Chorus In Tomlinson Hall Sunday morning.

TN ‘ some farm operations, in *■- many lines, and,more particularly,in refining and distribution of petroleum products, large scale operations are essential to insure maximum economy and service. / The production of crude oil varies but little on account of seasonal changes, and the refining processes are continuous operations. The consumption of petroleum products, however, varies widely with the season. In summer,consumption far out-strips production, while during the winter months the reverse is true. To prepare himself for the summer rush, the ojl refiner, who is ambitious to render a maximum service, must operate his refineries at full capacity throughout the year, and must provide adequate storage to take care of his surplus output during the winter months, and store it against a day of maximum demand when the country roads and city boulevards are crowded with machines, and the farmer has his tractor in the field. To perform this service requires the investment of huge sums of money, and the maintenance of a complete organization at all times. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is ambitious to be a leader in the petroleum industry. It is ambitious to render to the people of the ’Middle West as near a perfect service as care, thought, and adequate resources can devise. In carrying on its business, the Company has invested more than 185 million dollars; it operates four large refineries in which it manufactures the many varieties of petroleum products needed by the consuming public. It operates 3215 bulk stations, more than 1000 filling stations, and a fleet of nearly 4000 tank delivery trucks. Its permanent organization consists of about 23,000 efficient, loyal men and women, working under one head, to render a service which makes it possible for you to get a gallon of gasoline, or a quart of oil, or a pound of grease, wnen you want it, and wherever you may be.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14,1920.

Is not only legal In Haiti, but that similar laws exist, or liave existed, in the United States. In applying the system, the gendarmerie were acting under the order of the President of Haiti, he said. Spenking of accusations that fiumlers and tortures had been committed, the Admiral said there were unquestionably cases of abuse of power on the part of Junior officers of the gendarmerie and of enlisted men. Where such cases became known, he said, the offenders were punished. Haiti Is not ready by reason of its ] lack of education of even the most prl- j mary character for any real republican institutions, lie said. Left to itself, it will fall a prey to men of some educa- ; Mon but of low ethics who will exploit it ! for- personal advantage. Voodooism, or snake worship, the admiral found, is the religion of 95 per I cent of the population. In Its extreme ■ rites this religion requires the sacrifice j of human beings and the drinking of their blood and the eating of their flesh. A Voodoo priest was recently tried and sentenced by a military court upon charges of having killed and eaten thirteen children. Hoosier ‘Healer’ Hits Snag in Illinois Special to The Times.
