By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Ga, April 25.—Chairman James C. Stone of the Federal Farm Bosrd last night said much of the eritieism of the board was “due to:the lack of broad vision on the part of critics.” Mr. Stone said he had no comment to make directly on recent statements yegarding the board made by D. E. D"gcCutn. Greenville, 8. C., president of tien; Senator Kenneth I. ‘Tennessee and Senator Walter F. George of Georgia.

As to the $500,000,000 revolving fund, he said it had not been spent, but in -effect merely loaned with wheat as col- lateral, and that a substantial portion had been back. Carl Williams, member of the board, said, “Most of the criticism directed ainst the Farm Board is born either ulterior motives or of ignorance. Much of it is based on misinformation and lacking in basis of fact.” i HOLY NAME SOCIETY GOES TO BALTIMORE Capital Section Members Wil At- tend Archdiocesan Union Meeting.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, April 25.—With the as- sertion he did not propose to make prohibition the single issue in 1932, Chairman John J. Raskob of the Demo- cratic National Committee, last night sailed for Europe. He said also that he did not intend to dictate the party's nominee for President in 1932. Both he and former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who bade him bon voyage, denied that any sanctioned survey had been made to determine the relative strength of the party’s potential candi- dates in 1932. “I am not prepared to say.” sald former Gov. Smith, "whom I will sup- port for the nomination.” Raskob, recalling & conference here Wednesday with Jouett Shouse, chair- man of the Democratic Executive Com- mittee, said the only thing discussed at that time was the proposition of rais- ing funds to wipe out & $650,000 deficit of the National Committee and give it & financial start for next year. “I have no information concerning the relative strength of Gov. Pranklin D. Roosevelt or of any other ‘potential candidate,” said Mr. Raskob, “no one has made with the sanction of the com- mittee any study with regard to the strength throughout the country of the various men and none will be made, Left to Convention, “7, as chairman of the committee, will take no action regarding the selec- tion of a candidate. The nomination of a candidate rightfully belongs to the convention and if I, as chairman, should attempt to dictate it—it certainly would be a breach of Democratic !nnctp]es. Our efforts will be and should be given to_building an organization to win."” In a prepared statement Mr. Raskob said he was “continually asked whether I believe prohibition will be the chief issue in the next cam “My opinion is that the principal and most important issues will be prohibi- tion, the tariff, farm relief and eco- nomic problems touching principally on such social chagges as are necessary to lessen the scverity of future depres- sions and particulsrly the unemploy- ment conditions incident thereto. It s difficult and not at all necessary to at- tempt to classify these issues in the order of their importance.” Optimistic of Conditions. He again outlined the prokibition | plan he discussed at the recent Wash- ington meeting of the National Com- mittee. “A _great many of our Democratic friends seem to believe that the chair- man of the Naticnal Committee is try- ing to make prohibition an issue. Noth- ing is further from the truth. The facts are that our surveys show that pro- hibition is bound to be an important issue, and the reason for discussion and consideration at this time is that it becomes extremely important to have ample time for full, fair, frank and open discussion if our party hopes to arrive at a conclusion that can be re- duced to a platform plank that can be adopted at our next national conven- tion. “On the business situation T am con- servatively bullish. I believe we are practically through all the liquidaticn necessary to establish business on & real rock foundation. * * * I am sure the hope of all engaged in big in- dustry is that wage reductions will prove unnecessary. * * * In the stock market it is my feeling that the bears are overdoing their side of the market very much as the bulls overstayed the bull side in 1920.” Deaths Reported.

STIMSON RECEIVES BUTLER'S PROTEST Haitian Denies Telling Inter- viewer Fort Marines Cap- tured Was Myth. (Continued From First Page.) he read this as a statement from Butler: “Some of the rebels escaped our dragnet and beat it across the river and gathered there in Fort Riviera, on top of the mountain. This fort was the last stand. It had been built by the French and had a fine forti- fication in its days. It never had been taken by an attacking force and no- body thought it could be taken. The old brick-and-stone building was 4,400 feet above sea level.” The protested Interview sald Minister Bellegarde then added: “Well, the general goes on an tells how he took 20 men, climbed up the wall, crawled through a drain pipe and tcok the fort. “We in Haiti have always wondered about that. For there is no Fert Riviera. There never was. We have looked all over our irland and there is no such thing. “However, for taking Fort Riviera he got the Congressional Medal of Honor the second time. He is the only man in_the United States to get it twicel—Fighting Marine!” Article in Marine Garette. The Marine COrps Gasette, & semi- official publication, in an article in the February number for this year publish- ed an account of the capture of Fort Riviere. . Gen. Butler's citation for his second medal of honor follows: “On November 17, 1915, it was plan- ned to attack Fort Riviere, Haiti, witha force made up of detachments from the 5th, ¥8th, 23d companies and the Marine det ments and sailors from the Con- nectfcut. Fort Riviere was an old French bastien fort, about 200 feet on the side, with thick walls of brick and stone, the walls being loop-holed. The original entrance had been on the northern side, but had been blocked, a small breech in the southern wall being used in its stead. As this breech in the wall was the only ‘entrance to the fort, it was naturally covered by the defenders on the inside, making passage through it into the fort a most hazgrdous undertaking for the leading men. Notwithstnding the fact that the fire of the Cacos was constantly pass- ing through this hole in the wall, Sergt. Ross L. Iams, 5th Company, unhesitat- ingly jumped through, closely followed by Pvt. Samuel Gross of the 23d Com- pany. “A melee then ensued inside of the fort for about 10 minutes, the Cacos fighting desperately with rifles, clubs, stones, gte., during which several jumped from the walls in an effort to escape. but were shot by the automatic guns of the 5th Company and by the 13th Company advancing to the attack. Two Entered Ahead of Butler. “It is urged that Maj. Smedley D. Butler be given a medal of honor for his conspicuous bravery during the as- sault on Port Riviere. Two men en- tered ahead of him, doing 5o to prevent him from being the first. Their's was devotion to him, while his action was devotion to duty. The assault inside the fort was made by 23 men with the knowledge that no quarter would be given them.” Gen. Butler was given the Congres- sional Medal of Honor for distinguished conduct in battle in the engagement of Vera Cruz, Mexico, on April 22, 1014, the record stating that he was “eminent and conspicuous in command of his battalion” and that he “exhibited eour- age and skill in leading his men through the action of the twenty-second and n the final occupation of the city.” This was published in general order 177 on December 4. 1915. Marine Corps records show that on September 6, 1920, Gen, Butler was given the Haitian Medalille Militaire by President Dartiguenave of that country. The citation accompanying this decora- tion follows: “Former Chief of the Gendarmerie, organizer of that corps. For the great service he has rendered to this country, in pacifying the north, particularly for the capture of Fort Riviere, the last stronghold of the Cacos.” Given Medal for Bravery. From August 10, 1915, to August 31, 1916, Gen. Butler, who was then a major, served on detached duty in the republic of Haiti, participating in the operations against hostile “Cacos” in the northern part of ‘that country. Navy Department records show that for con- spicuous bravery during the attack on Fort Riviere, Haiti, November 17, 1915, he was awarded a second medal of honor. While on this duty he organized the Haitian Constabulary and was ap- pointed commandant of that organiza- tion by the President of Haiti, upon nomination of the President of the United States, August 31, 1916, Fort Riviere is located directly south of Cape Hatlen, about 20 miles, and is situated near the town of Dondon. An article written by Maj. Thomas E. Thrasher, jr., now on duty at Quan- tico, Va., in the February number of the Marine Corgfl Gazette describes the taking of Fort Riviere. In this, he ex- plains that Fort Riviere was bullt by the Prench sometime before 1800, prob- ably by that part of Napolepn's army commanded by Capt. Gen. Le Clerc, who married Pauline, Napoleon's sister, and who maintained nis headquarters in Cap Prancols. The major explains that it is “southeast of the citadel of La Farriere and some 10 or 12 miles fur- ther inland.” 1t was one of a chain of forts, he says, so that communications could be trans- mitted readily through smoke signals should an ®nemy approach by sea. “On & clear day the small old fort on the outskirts of the town of Grand Riviere, about eight miles north of Fort Riviere, may also be seen, but the peaks of the Black Mountains, just east of Fort Riviere, mask the view of Bahon, five miles away,” the article asserts.

April 25 (#).—The existence of Port Riviere, questioned by the Haitfan Minister, Dantes Bellegarde, in a newspaper interview at Washington April 13, was attested by Gov. Roose- velt today. The New York executive was Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the time of the capture of the fort by ines under the command of Maj. . Smedley D. Butler. “You may say that the then Assist- ant Secretary of the Navy was in Hajti at the time.” Gov.
