L. T. Evans, a Wyoming, Pa., minister, ‘who has lived in the island for the past twenty-eight vears, in testifying yester- day before the Senate committee inves- tigating conditions in Haiti and Santo Domingo. Educated natives, Mr. Evans said, fell easy prey to machinations of foreigners, ‘who, he said, often entered Haitian poli- tics as the official representatives of their respective countries and used their consular and othter offices to influence island inhabitants. He charged that Europeans had made advances to finance revolutions, placing the money at usurious rates and directly profiting from the resuits of the revolts. ‘The witness asserted that most of the ill treatment complained of by the na- tives was initiated by native officers se- lected by the American occupants as subordinates.

Commissioner Oyster today made known his intention of inquiring into tbe hours at which street lights are put out in the morning. The Commissioner said he noticed | in _going to the National Hotel fire early Sunday morning that some streets seemed unusually dark, and the thought occurred to him that it might be well to leave the street lamps burning longer. W. B. Hadley, in cherge of street lighting, explained that electric lights | are turned out forty-fite minutes be- fore sunrise and gas ligkts forty min- utes before sunrise. It is easy, he said, to get the elec- | tric lights out on schedule time, since | they can be turned off by switches in | the power plants. With however, | h into the ion, since the lamplighter must make the rounds of each li | It is, therefore, possible that gas mps are not alw extinguished | at the same time. Hadley said . jthe police are supposed to watch for | irregularities in the turning out of| strect lights and are provided with| blank forms oh which to report such ! irregularities. | U. S.
