C00LIDGE ON PHONE (Continued rom Page One) president's cabinet, Mrs. Coolidge and a company of several hundred j to whom invitations had been is sued. Each guest was equipped with an individual set of head phones and no detail of-the event was lost to any, of them. Dr. L.. S. Rowe. director of the Pan-American Union, presided at the receiver. Mr. Coolidge, Act ing Secretary Carr, Ambassador Telles, Dr. Rowe. and telephone company officials sat at a long ta ble on which individual telephones had been placed. Connection Effected Presently Dr. Rowe lifted his receiver and immediately was connected witb olonel W. F. Repp, a telephone company offi cial at Mexico City, "Hello. Col onel Repp," he said. "The presi dent of the United States desires to converse with his excellency, the president of Mexico.'' "His excellency. President Cal- les. is ready," Repp replied. Mr. Coolidge adjusted his spec tacles, lifted his receiver and be gan his prepared conversation. President Calles listened ; not knowing, however, what was be ing said to him, but aware that he was participating in an accom plishment of a time which was al ready., contributed generously to international communication.. ' Translation Made Following the translation of by President Coolidge's remarks Dr. Rowe. personally "to Mr. Cal les.Hhe Mexican executive began to speak his words, being trans lated from the Spanish. At no time during the conversa tion of the two presidents was the connection Interrupted. The voice of Mr. Calles was particularly dis tinct. President Coolidge could be heard plainly in Mexico City, it was stated, but his voice at this end did not seem to carry quite so well as hat of the Mexican ex ecutive. Very Diplomatic Both conversations were entire ly formal and phrased in the strictest diplomatic terms. Mr. Calles. however, laid a lengthier emphasis! upon the hope that the two nations would, profit in good will and understanding from this new link' between them. . .. The conversation, he said, af forded ; him "the pleasure or re newing my fervent wishes and my ardent hopes for the beginning of a new era for those two govern men Is and eoolea aa era of good, will and mutual understand ing which cannot fail to put. an end to all those needless misun derstandings that so frequently exist wlCh prejudlce to the normal development of nations.', ' In . addition to the two presi dents. conversations -were had be- t weed Genaro ; Estrada,, Mexican acting minister of foreign affairs and Acting Secretary Wilbur i J.
