Turner of the marine corps estimated Wednesday during testimcny at a hearing of the special senate conrymittee investigating conditions in Haiti. Of that number' he added, 1,132 were killed between October 1,, 1919, and October He reviewed many features 1, 1920. of the report he made of alleged killings and brutal treatment of the natives to the commandant of the marine forces in Haiti two yeai'S ago, explaining that he had devoted two months re-in 1919 to the inquiry on which the port was based. KJLLKD IN KSCAP1XG, Although he had made the investigation as sweeping as possible, he ex plained, he could find no evidence of the killing of natives held as prisoners by the Americans. "That there were killings was undoubtedly true," he said, "and many of them can be directly traced to Major. Clark II. Wells, (a marine officer) but these were not prisoners, but were natives trying to escape from the corvee, or enforced road work." Major Turner stated that officers of the marines vho acted as officers of the gendarmes, were reported to have received instructions from Major Wells to "bump off the cacoa" who were regarded as bandits. In reply to a question the major stated that he was of the opinion that "there were executions of natives without trial." He denied that evidence could be found that prisoners were roughly handledBRUTAL.1TY IS CHARGED A report by Lieutenant Colonel Hooker of the marine corjos to Brigadier General A. W. Catlin, once in command of the forces of occupation, on conditions in Haiti, which has been held on the confidential file of the navy department, was submitted to the committee. In it Col- Hooker stated that the "gendarmes used the natives no brutally that many had joined the bandits," and that Lieutenant U. D.

Roy Barnes, starring will be the main attraction at the Utah theatre beginning today for a run of three days. Here Is a comedy-dram- a super-speci- al My Lawyer," that has made the movie fans laugh overtime. The fact that the picture was directed by Al Christie, comedy king, is proof enough of the high quality of the production. -co- Mantell Players Please Audience With Interpretation of Julius Caesar A rare insight into the beauties of the noble verse written by William to the tragedy ot Shakespeare ' Julius Caesar" present was given the fortunate many who were at the Or- Luea.ii e imi iu nit piieuui me work of Roberthisjil Mantellcnju and his fellow players. After having sen again this re-- ; imukable drama and observed the ef- tect the lines and incidents have upon the audience, one cannot fail to note Vith amazement how much there is ot appeal for present day' play-goei;: "Julius Caesar" which was written tcr and which pleased audiences of LOO years ago. Nearly every- person who has attended' school has read and studied this tragedy and the plot is familiar to all. Yet the reading of the lines last night was so effective that the presentation of "Julius Caesar" had ail the charm of a play seen for the ln-stime. good was the first act Particularly in which the situation was summed u and the atmosphere cf menace and fcrboding created. Credit for this exposition rests ' with Mr. Mantell as Brutus, A. C. Henderson as Casca, Guy Lindsley as Caesar, John Alexander as Antony and Vaughn Deerlng as Cassius. Another excellent feature was the scene in the garden at the home of P.rutus. In this scene Brutus Is shown iu a most disturbed mental state, his condition being the result of his plotting with the other conspirator to kill his beloved friend, Caesar. The wife of Brutus seeks to have her husband tell her why he is so disturbed and he cannot unburden his heart. Miss GenevieVe Hamper, with Mr. Mantell, played the role ot tho wife, Portia, and her work in this brief scene, the only one in which she appeared, was so effective as to make the incident stand out as the beauty spot of the production. The work of Mr. Lindsley and Miss Agnes Elliott Scott in the last scene of the second act was much admired. Caesar and his wife are in the Dalace. The wife is frantic over the omens of ill portent which she has observed or experienced. Caesar triej to quiet her i ears, out she him not to visit the senate implores that dav as he had planned. At last he consents to rrmiln at home with her. Then comes a senator who throws an altogether dif ferent interpretation upon th omen. Caesar calls the fears of his wte looilsh.

Acher cording to New York reviewers, outcharacterisation "is one of the standing features of this r.asslve pro' . duction. Miss Naldi is seen as Muriel Barrla-foran adventuress, in the story- - Muriel is extravagant, coldly calculating and lends herself to the audacious schemes of Ralph Stuyvestant, son of a wealthy broker and her admirer, and f Thomas Burnett, a rascality member of the 8tuyvestant firm, to fasten a crime on Billy Reid, the hero. Her portrayal of th'.s unusually dramatic vamp role is paid to reveal her as a thorough artist who has few if any superiors In her especial line of work. The cast generally is of the best. Jack Mower, the leading man, is well known as an actor, he having appeare ed in many Broadway productions. woman, is a Pretty, the leading noted stage and screen player who is not unfamiliar to Paramount audiences.
