(Associated Press Dispatch )
Port Au Prince, Nov. 19.—Free-
man Lang, former American marine,
charged with the murder of nine
Haitian prisoners, again took the
stand today in Ills own behalf and
denied every accusation against him.
He frankly admitted however, killing
one bandit chief with a machine-gun
at Ilinche, while tho man was at-
tempting to escape. He fired at the
bandit from his own front porch, he
said.
Lang testified after four native
gendarmes had taken the'stand and
declared they saw hint murder sev-
eral prisoners, bringing tho number of
victims up to nine.
Just after beginning his testimony
Laiuj suffered a nervous weeping at-
tack. Taking the stand after Cap-
tain Patrick Kelly of the local gendar-
marle and the jail sergeant had de-
nied every native charge regarding
wholesale murders, Lang declared that
lie had shot only ono prisoner. "This
was a division bandit chief," he said,
"who was brought from the iail by a
gendarme to my residence for ques-
tioning. Tho bandit chief refused to
talk and \j^is ordered re-jailed. He
tried to escape from the gendarme
who fired twice, missing liim. I
quickly got the machine-gun, firing a
spurt of bullets anil killing him in-
stantly. The reported occurra*nce was
told all right."
Answering an Inquiry,by Major
Jesse F. Dyer, judge advocate, as t»
whether he applied electric treatment
to prisoners, Lang admitted .putting
coins in a water bucket nnd offering
to give them to the natives if they re-
moved them which they attempted to
do, while he said other natives turned
on a generator, shocking the prisoners.
When asked to explain the volume
of testimony charging him with
monstrous crimes, Lang declared the
natives were prone to exaggeration.
He testified that tho numerous re-
porls of murders were started by a
native, who, seeing tho bodies of
bandits awaiting burial after the
Ilinche attack, said I«ing was a
crackshot, hence he must havo done
the shooting.
Captain Kelly testified he was with
Lang the night of the shooting and
they inspected the jail together. He
swore that Lang had killed no one.
The testimony of the prosecution
and the defence was conflicting, the
defense attempting to discredit tho
gendarmes who told stories similar to
those given in previous hearings.
TWO YOl'THS HELD FOR
I).\KING llOB&ElHES
(Associated Prfss Dtspntrli )
Atlanta. Cia.. Nov. J9.—Two youths,
giving their names as Krio D. May,
IT, and Stuart Taylor, ID, were under
arrest here today charged with stag-
ing the store robberies in the fash-
ionable Peach Tree neighborhood in
old fashioned western style.
Both, police said, confessed they
were en route from Minnesota to
Florida and took Uiis means of ob-
taining money to continue their trip.
They came originally from England.
The money was recovered.
The holdup of Stephens & XJawks'
drug store at West Peach Tree and
14th street last night, in which em-
ployes and patrons were lined up
against the walls with their hands In
the air, was a replica of that staged
the night before in tho Tarker-Bran-
an drug store at Peach Tree and
North avenue. In the first robbery
about $100 was obtained. Last night
about JSJ was taken. A clerk man-
aged to telephone police headquarters
last night, however, while the robbery
was going on. Police arrested Taylor
nearby. The other youth was arrest-
ed later In a hotel.

Aboard Stemship Parismina, Nov.
19.—(-By Wireless).—Shaking the
bad weather "jinx" that wrecked his
vacation in Texas, President-Elect
Harding sailed toward Panama today
under bright skies and over a smooth
sea.
His steamship, the Parismina.
which left New Orleans late yesterday
afternoon, steered almost duo south-
ward and during tho first twenty-
four hours of the run had covered al-
most three hundred miles of the four-
teen hundred miles course to Cristo-
bal.
Officers of the ship predicted per-
fect weather would continue through-
out the trip.
The president-elect slept la^e this
morning and after a brisk walk
about tho deck settled down in the
warm sunlight to read a book about
Panama. Soon, however, he became
interested in a game of shuffleboard
being played o l deck by some of the
newspapermen in his party and could
not resist tho challenge to join the
game. He practically spent the rest
of the day in playing shuffleboard
and other deck games.
Senator and Mrs. Harding occupy
a small suite adjoining the staterooms
of other members of the party. They
take their meals in the general dining
saloon. Tonight they attended a pic-
ture show and concert given in their
honor.
The usual flying fish and porpoises
crossing the bow of -the little white
steamer as she cut through the dark
blue waters of tho gulf brought to
many of the party their first glimpses
of the marine life most familiar to
those experienced in tropical cruising.
The president-elect rested after the
strenuous day spent in New Orleans
yesterday.
The "press" sheets from the wire-
less room claimed his early attention
today.

Berlin Protests
Mandate System
of the League
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Nov. 1'J.—Three
sources of waste in production and
means of combatting each were out-
lined by Herbert lloovvr tonight in an
address before tho Federated Ameri-
can Engineering societies, speaking us
president-elect of the organization.
Intermittent employment, unetn-
pknment that arises in shifting indus-
trial currents, and strikes and lock-
outs were tlie causes he mentioned.
Intermittent employment, the form-
er food administrator said,, might be
eliminak'l at least in part by co-ordl
nation ot economic, groups, the va
rious nienstiies working together to
aid each other. Using the bituminous
coal industry as an example, he sail
the bad economic functioning could
be remedied through a concerted ef
fort ot' the coal operators, the coal
miners, the railways and the grea
consumers to prevent alternate de-
mand and shortage.
Present necessary legislation against
combinations, he added, makes co-or-
dination Impossible, but he suggested
that there be developed "some method
of governmental interest, not in gov-
ernmental ownership, but in stimula
tion to co-operation in better organi-
zation."
Loss of production, incident to
shifting of workers,, because of seas-
onal and short period operations in
industry, Mr. Hoover told the engi-
neers, couid be lessened by the expan-
sion and better organization of local
and federal labor exchanges.
Unless such machinery is provided,
the individual worker, ho said, "Is
helpless to find tho contracts neces-
sary to man this slillt."
Strikes and lockouts would be ma-
terially lessened by the universal ac-
ceptance and use of collective bar-
gaming, Mr. Hoover declared, adding
that he. was confident that this could
be wcrki'il out along the lilies laid
down by the president's second indus-
trial conference of which he was a
member. Mr. HoO\er issued a warn-
ing ,se\ ing.
"We have just passed through a
period Ot unparalleled speculation,
extrayagance and waste. We shall
not only reap its inevitable harvest
of unemployment and re-adjustment,
but we tdiall feel the real effect of
four yiais of world destruction nnd
lrom it economic and social problems
will stand out in vivid disputation."
Other suggestions made by Mr.
Hoov.-r to clarify the labor situation
included the establishment of two or
thn e levels of wage in each trade, tin-
position of each man in such a scale
to be based upon comparative skill
and cbaiaetcr. This, he said, would
r vivo self-interest and initiative. He
also advocated extension of the shop
committee system.

Geneva, Nov. 19—The German
government has officially protested to
the League of Nations against the
system of distributing mandates un-
der the treaty of Versailles, • it was
learned today.
Tim Berlin government claims it Is
illegal for the entente powers to dis-
tribute these mandates among them-
selves.
The mandates referred to In the
German protest were provided for In
Article XXII of the covenant of the
League of Nations and treaty of Ver-
sailles. It was stipulated that colon-
ies and territories severed from their
for\sovereignty by the war and in-
habited by peoples of backward de-
velopment should be placed under the
tutelage of advanced nations acting
as mandatories on behalf of the
league. All of Germany's former
lonial possessions come under this
catesorv.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 19.—The 19-0
world's series prize money, amounting
to almost $15,000, which belongs to
the Chicago American baseball league
team for finishing second, lias not
been awarded, it was announced to-
day. Tho old National Commission
is waiting the outcome of the trials
of eight White Sox players charged
with throwing the 1919 championship
games to the Cincinnati Beds.
The honest White Sox at a meeting
voted to cut up the prize money Into
sixteen and one-half shares to the ex-
clusion of the players charged with
crookedness. This would make each
full share about $900. On the other
hand it was reported today that the
commission thinks the money should
be divided into .3 1-2 shares, which
number would include the seven
members of last year's team under in-
dictment.

Geneva, Nov. 1!).—Immeiliai ' ad-
mission of Germany and the oth< i
former enemy states to the League of
Nations was urged before the assem-
bly today by George Njjjo 1 Barnes of
the British delegation.
'Mr. Barnes said he knew the gn.it
majority of the laboring people of
England demanded that ail the em-mj
states be admitted without delay.
The British delegate recalled the
fact that Germany had taken part al-
read yin the deliberations of th<' in
ternational labor bureau established
by the league.
"The question now is to resrue the
world from ruin and the co-operation
of the former enemy states is needed,"
he declared.
Criticises Council Inaction.
Mr. Barnes spoke approving
the action of the council on
questions, but criticized its in
during the last y.-ar while Poland and
soviet Russia were engaged in ln>--
tillties.
He cited Al'tieb- XI of the I,'-ague
covenant, providing that tiny war or
threat of war should constitute a mat-
ter of concern to the whole lea gut
and that it. should take any action
deemed wise and effectual to safe-
guard the. peace of nations, and in-
quired why tho council had not taken
action to prevent the Ilusso-Polish
war.
Deplores E.vclwnge Rates.
In reinforcing his argument for
speedy membership of the ex-enemy
states, Mr. Barnes referred to the in-
stability of present economic condi-
tions and the anomalies in exchange.
"What is needed above all," he
said, "is greater production and the
utmost freedom In business transac-
tions between the different countries
and this is unobtainable as long as tin-
world is divided into two camps."
The assembly, which customarily
listens to a speaker without manifest-
ing its sentiments until lie has fin-
ished his remarks, broke into general
applause at this point.
"Countries kept from association
with us will form an association of
their own," the British delegate add-
ed, "and we shall return to tlie dan-
gerous pre-war system of alliances."
Mr. Barnes pointed out that the
world was dealing in central Europf
not with European kings, but with
free peoples taking charge of theii
own destinies.
The Dutch minister of foreign af-
fairs, If. A. Van Karanbeck, addressed
the assembly on the registration of
treaties. He called attention to th
provision of the Versailles treaty that
agreements are not binding until they
were registered. He said there were
several interpretations of Artieh
XVIII of the covenant containing this
provision and he proposed that it In
studied carefully with a view to its
clarification.
