THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, PEC. 7, 1920. PROBE INTO CONDUCT OF, MARINES IN HAITI SHOWS LITTLE RESULTS

(By Associated Press) PORT AU PRINCE. Dec.. Finding witnesses "actually Involved to reported Indiscriminate vkininiffrttf natives, and others with first-hand knowledge of misconduct on the part, of the American army of occupation. was a task which considerably delayed the naval board, Investigating charges 'against American marines in Haiti, during the first week of Its stay at Port au Prince. - Major Jesse F. Dyer, judge advocate, admitted that It was a difficult Job. Many persons, who professed to have information came forward to be questioned, but it soon developed, It was said, that most of their testimony was hearsay, - which, of course, was excluded. In the hope of speeding up the proceedings, Major Dyer made a trip by airplane to Interior points to interview natives and marines, many, of whom were summoned . here. .Travel across the mountains is slow and tedions, however, and sessions of the court were held up- until they could arrive. Review Campaign Meanwhile, Rear Admiral Henry- T. Mayo indicated that the court would be extremely patient, as members realized that the judge advocate came Jhere without opportunity before hand fof working up his case. Only two witnesses were examined during the bfirst weekv Major Thomas C Turner, chief of 'staff, and President Dartiguo-

rnave, of Haiti. It was by the testi-

fmorry of "Major Turner that the court

developed, the fact that sfnce the inJ . s. jii- .

rcensive campaign, against bbdojis was Fbegun In October, 1919, 8 total of 1432 tnatlves had been killed in actual com-

fbat. This number met death, accordring to Major Ttrrnciv In, 298 cngage-

Iroents. How many were-'kffled'Trani the timo

the marines came ta rmtfl October last year could only be determined by a

i careful Inspection" or records, largely ! incomplete, and now in .'Washington, ' the witness explained, . although he added that Brigadier General Barnett's ; estimate of 2 ,250 was "undoubtedly exlaggeratedV President Dartiguenave, in a talk itbe other day with correspondents, qualified his statement to the court jthat the marines had been accused "by public clamor." He explained ' that they had been accused by rumors rand reports, and that In each case efforts were made to investigate. The translation was given as "clamor, but the official text was corrected to "rumor." As a witness the president was unable to enlighten the court as to the troth ot many-charges against the militarjftforces. - . About,the most that the court may be ablkl to recommend is -trial by courtmartial of possibly half a dozen marines. Its "observations" were requested and may prove of value, but primarily it was sent here to ascertain what truth there is in charges that men guilty of violence and brutality toward natives were never-brought to trial.

THE SEDAN About the nattiest, classiest thing you'll see on our streets is that new Reo Six Sedan. We think it is the handsomest equipage that ever came from the Reo shops. Design is a la mode and finish is faultless. Interior is, in details and appointments, all the most fastidious could desire. In quality of workmanship, it is in keeping with the Reo chassis upon which it is mounted. You will have to see and ride in this new Sedan to fully appreciate its excellence.

THE COUPE In the new Reo Four-Passenger Coupe you'll find a vehicle designed especially for the professional and business man who uses his car all the time. It is a rare combination of efficiency, economy and luxury. Milady who likes to drive her own car, shows a decided preference for this Reo, partly because of its simple system of control, but mainly because of its comfort and handsome appearance. It's as well built as a Reo can be and that's as good as the best. An ideal all 'round car, equally suitable for all seasons. See this Reo drive it yourself. You'll be captivated by its appearance and you'll be even more delighted w.ih ihe performance of that sweet-running silent Reo Six motor. As our quota for this model is exceedingly limited, however, it will be a case of first come first served. If you would drive a Reo Coupe, therefore, you must place your order at once.

THE TOURING CAR Because of its outward beauty and its inherent mechanical excellence Because, in a word, this new Six is aReo with all the term implies of stability, dependability and low upkeep The demand is almost hopelessly in excess of the possible supply. Among discriminating buyers experienced motorists the new Reo Six is first choice. For the excellence of this Reo is uniform excellence. Attention to little details is the Reo idea of creating a perfect whole.

THE ROADSTER It is the product of the soundest engineering skill and the ripest experience. It has been as thoroughly tried and proven as it is humanly possible to do. It is Reo designed and Reo made to the last detail, save only such items as tires and electrical equipment. Even these have been specially well selected to conform to Reo standards of quality and dependability. 'Twere difficult to classify this new Reo Six in the terms current in the trade.

We have said that many times before, but we think it will bear repeating. For there is more in the statement than appears on the surface. If reputation counts ; if experience counts ; if sound engineering in the past is a fair indication of sound engineering in the present product If, in a word, the original of anything must be better than any copy, then it is important that you know this Reo "Speed-Wagon" , was the original both of its type and of its title. Reo was the first to prove the superiority of the pneumatic-tired motor truck. Reo was the first to make exhaustive experiments along this line and as a

result of the lessons then learned, to make and offer for sale a pneumatictired truck. That first Reo was also equipped with electric starter and electric lights a thing unheard of up to that time. And that Reo motor truck was designated in our advertisements a "SpeedWagon." As a result of the wonderful performance of that Reo type of motor truck there are now more than 35,000 of them in use. And the demand has always exceeded the possible supply of Reos. Naturally, imitators are springing up everywhere. Se we warn that "If it isn't a Reo, it isn't a 'Speed-Wagon.' "
