CHANGE FOR HAITI HELD HOOVER VIEW Williamstown Institute Also Hears Charge “Timidity” Is Bar to League. B7 the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 9 Dr. Jesse S. Reeves, professor of politi- | cal science of the University of Michi- an, today told members of the Insti- ute of Politics that there is little doubt that the Hoover administration is un- sympathetic toward intervention Haiti. He said he believed that President Hoover would “welcome the opportuni- ty" to relinquish responsibility of con-} trol there. Dr. Reeves, who was a member of the Pan-American Commission for the Codi- fication of International Law, convened at Rio de Janeiro in 1927, asserted that all the United States relations with Haiti should be legalized through trea- ties, and said that “a Platt amendment | for Haiti would stop all trouble there.” Gold Output and Prices. Prof. Willard T. Thorp of Amherst College said perlods of falling prices have corresponded rather closeiy with periods when the rate of gold produc- tion was low, and periods of advancing prices with a more rapid rate of in- crease of our gold supply. “Both theoretically and historically there is reason to believe that the di- minishing rate of gold production would be a significant factor in determining our price trends in the future. “There is every indication that the gold supply will not prove sufficient to sustain the price level, and we may anticipate & slow, often interrupted but prolonged decline in commodity prices, he said. “Timidity” in League Views. Arthur J. Hepburn, chief of staff of the United States Fleet, in the round table discussion of limitation of arma- ments. said that it “was probably timidity that kept the United States out of the League of Nations.” There is sufficient sentiment in this country, he said, to overcome the “big bass drum” who have really been timid and E\-e kept the United States out of the ague. Speaking of the “entangling al- Mances” argument, he said the sound of e phrase has preserved it in Ameri- ean history, and that it has become an ,epithet and Americans are prone to “argue by epithet.” Freedom of Seas. Lord Eustace Percy of Lendon, for- mer member of the British diplomatic service, addressing the institute tonight on “Freedom of the Seas,” said: “According to the view generally ac- eepted by international lawyers, a na- tion at war ean declare a hlockade of the actual coastline of its enemy, but this declaration gives it no right to interfere with neutral ships bound for & neighboring port, whatever may be the destination of the goods carried by ‘those ahips. “Consequently we have arrived at the curious conclusion that the only eountries against which the legal doc- trine of blockade can be efTeetively ap- lied are Great Britain, Australia, New ealand, Japan and possibly India.” He said that Senator William E. Borah's definition of the “freedom of the seas” as the “right of neutrals to carry commerce in war as freely as in peace excepting when carrying actual munitions of war or seeking to break & blockade,” would “confer on conti- mental powers a virtual immunity to all forms of naval pressure. while ex- posing Britain or Prance to the full Fisk of complete starvation.” FEDERAL INVESTIGATION ASKED FOR ORGANIZER Union Claims Claypool Was Ab- ducted, Tarred and Feathered by Henchmen of Workers. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 9.—The Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union announced today that it had reguested Attorney ‘General Willlam D.

PESHAWAR ATTACK APPARENTLY ENDED British Troops and Pilots Save Strategic City From Afridi. By the Associated Press. SIMLA, August 9.—The hostile Afridi tribesmen who descended on Peshawar from the hills apparently have let up in their plans for an attack on the strategic frontier city. British officers tonight expressed the belicf that most of the danger was past. British ground troops and military airplanes have engaged the Afridis frequently sinee they came down the Bara River Valley this week, esti- mated variously at between 5,000 and 10,000 men. Casualties Among Invaders. An official comminuque today told of contacts with the hill men on Wednes- day, Thursday and yesterday, with some casualties among the invaders. Most of the fighting has oceurred in the lower Bara Valley and at the west- ern end of Khajuri Plain, where the Afridis have encamped since they set out to capture the ey city to the Khy= ber Pass. The communique told how some de- tachments moved (o the area south of Bara Fort Thursday unight and were met by pickets of the defending mili- tary forces and the frontier constaou- lary. Somg of the attackers were killed. Other parties, totaling several hul dred, went closer to Peshawar and con- cealed themselves in caves southsast of the city. Others cvacuated their caves west of Khajuri Plain and moved to similar retreats south of the Bara. Airplanes bombed these hiding plaees. Another party, concealed in a tower 3 miles northeast of Bara Fort, fled to a nearby garden at the approach of British cavalry. They were shelled out. Seven Killed hy Bombs. A dispateh from Peshaws ot eon- nected with the communique, said that 1,000 of the Pathan warricrs sdvanced within. a mile of the city Thursday. They were attacked by troops and seven tribesmen were killed by bombs of the Royal Air Force. Officers believed tonignt that the Afridis were disapeinted by the defeat of the several advance parties and had abandoned a plan for a mass attack. They apeared to be dispersing. BURIAL MYSTERY DEEPENS Relatives Fail to Identify Body Disinterred in Baltimore. BALTIMORE, Md., August 9 (A.— ‘The identity of the man who was buried as William E. Lentz, but was not Lentz, was deeper mystery today after the body had been disinterred. Two woman rela- tives of Willlam Miller, missing since March, thought the body might be his, but decided today at the morgue that it was net. The man was found dead in Carroll Park Sunday and was identified by relatives as Lentz. They arranged for and attended the funeral Thursday, but on their way back saw Lentz on the street, not at all dead. Another problem is who is going to pay the undertaker for the funeral.
