FIRES TERRORIZE CAPITAL OF HAIT Mysterious Organization Be- I lieved Source of Arson Outbreak. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. io_to_The PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, May 1.— Using firing as its method of spreading terror, a mysterious organization, wnich 80 far has eluded all efforts to appre- hend its members, has thrown the capi- tal of Haiti into a near panic. Pires, obviously of incendiary origin, break out at any hour of the day or night and with this city’s tinder frame structures as well as its shortage of wa- ter, spread with alarming rapidity. ‘The authorities admit that they are unable to fathom the motives behind this terrorism, while the public is di- vicad in the opinion as to whether it 18 an effort to intimidate President- alect Eugene Roy from taking office May 15, or organized lawlessness to postpone the withdrawal of American Marines, as recommended by the Forbes report approved by President Hoover. Marines have been detailed as sen- tries at each officer's residence, while every available man in the Halilan gendarmerie is either guarding an in- dividual home or store, or is patrolling the streets in the hope of catching the firebugs. Leaders Ask for Guards. *Y do not believe that the opposition parties are behind the terrorism, since s dozen of their leaders have been in my office today asking that guards be m their homes,” sald Maj. C. L , chief of police, “We are using every means to at- tempt to solve the mystery, but have reached no solution. One man, caught red-handed sprinkling kerosene on & door, refuses to implicate others, and because of the total destruction of the fired buildings, there is no trace of in- fernal machines.” ‘The telephone bell rang and the chief turned. He answered respectfully, ap- ntly talking to a fellow officer. %e Jou will have to safeguard the es “yourself. I realize how everybody in the neighborhood is scared, but I haven't another man available for detail” . A tropical downpour Tuesday night \ve property owners their first care- :u sleep since the fires started to break out a fortnight ago. ‘The blazes have included the destruc- on of a block of buildings in the poorer tial quarter, the more imposing home of afi“ R, M. Cutts, commander of the Marine brigade, and yesterday the Parisiana Cinema, the city’s only theater. A total of nine buildings have been destroyed, while almost an equal number have been fired, but detected and extinguished before the flames gained headway. Plans Laid Carefully. The firebugs lay their plans carefully and show skill in evading guards. When an attempt was made to burn the home of Maj. Jeter R. Horton, quartermaster of the gendarmerie, the ground was re- connoitered and a ventilation hole in the stone walls of the building was lo- cated. After dark the firebug evaded the guard and shoved oil-soaked rags in the opening, which fortunately fell outside when they started to burn. ‘The Parisiana Theater was fired ‘while the owner and manager were tak- ing their morning coffee in the base- ment. The same skill was shown in setting this afire, the flames being started at the end so that the wind them through the barn-like . Two days ago the owner refused to insure the building. As the first burst of flames is fre- xlendy accompanied by an explosion, is believed that & can of kerosene and a cloth fuse are used. Four at- tempts were made on Monday, while on Tuesday, when 'fi;ed exl:‘fll'! fire t?l:. partment was engai preventing the theater flames from reaching Presi- dent Borno's home adjoining, another fire was started in a distant quarter of the city.

Mr. Thunder, mad as his name, got a deputy sheriff and set out in search of Mr. Cox, planning to ask him kindly to keep his tough-hided beast off the highway. While they searched, another crash echoed over the countryside. Return- ing, the deputy, Mr. Thunder and Mr. Cox found a second wrecked car, with its owner, Walter Mitchell, surveying the damage. “Old Ironsides,” the cause of it all, was nearby, contentedly munching roadside grass. “Didn't even scratch the old horse hide,” proudly said Mr. Cox, as he paid the damages and led the toughest horse in these parts into less expensive pastures. tallless airplane propelled by rockets, came to grief today and was slightly in- Jured.
