Perfect one" v
NEW YORK. Dec. 19. (AE)
W. R. Hearst today Issued a state-1
IB eat In reply to an open letter
from Senator Nor rls of Nebraska
' retarding publication of docu
ments by the Hearst newspapers.
Thm statement says in part:
- "It 1 not necessary to reply to
Saaaior Norris hysterical and vl
tapcratlve statement In kind.
I might state, however, that if
Senator Norrta is anxious to estab
Ua2k the truth lie might begin by
telling the truth, a thing that he
has disinetly refrained from doing
threaghout his whole statement.
"The plain facts of this whole
Mexican matter are that these
Unlcan documents are apparently
quite authentic and that no proof
whatever has been produced of
their lack of authenticity. .
"I might hare. In the first place,1
refrained - from publishing any of
taa documents, in which case, my
pesnession of the documents being
known, I would erentually have
ben accused by persons as care
leas of facts as Senator Norris, of
having, been too cowardly and too
concerned for my property inter
ests in Mexico to hare revealed
facts through the medium of my
newspapers, which affected the
'welfare of the American people
and which the American people
had a right to be acquainted with
"In the second place. I might
hare printed some of the docu
ments and suppressed others, .in
.which case J could hare been ac
cased of suppression of the facts
or perversion of the facts to suit
my own prejudices or opinions.
-In the third place, I might hare
tmtervlewed the senators men
tioned and published their explan
ations in my newspapers, but
could not see. and can not now
jeev how denials made in my news
papers would hare any " superior
orce or effect o?er denials maae
by them under oath before a goT
ernmental body.
' "Moreover, such a coarse would
save necessitated the publication
f the senators' names, and I was
fa no way adequately informed of
the probable course of the gov
erament, and as to whether It ever
would be considered necessary or
. desirable by the government to
make publis the senators names.
Therefore, I mentioned no In
dividuals, but merely printed the
documents deleted of names, and
left the determination of that im
portant' point for the. government.
,, v-. -V.
"It was only when the authen
ticity of the documents became al--anoet
overwhelmingly established,
that publication : began.-
"Certainly nobody but a perfect
Jacktsa and Senator Norris .is
. not that at least not a perfect
o could Imagine that my prop
erty holdings In Mexico were ben
efitted by losing the friendship
and favor of the Mexican govern
meat. . ." ' . : , . ,.
. -Finally, as to the elleged evil
motive in endeavoring to reflect
mm the insur rents In the senate
through the publicatloa of these
documents, that seems to me to be
the most aesinine statement that
east be picked, out of Senator Nor
rta. scrap heap of misrepresenta
tion and billingsgate.
"My papers have always been
in the main supporters of the in
surgent group of. senators. .-

them, while the questioning of all
the other members also was

and its license number was that
noted by Parker. The car was
identified as having , been stolen
from Dr. Herbert Mants in Kan
sas City on November 7, and as
bearing license plates stolen In San
Diego December 13.
3 Suspect Still Held
Three suspects continued in
custody although officers ex
pressed the opinion they were not
connected with the crime. They
were held for further investiga
tion. Lillian Padley, 22, telephone
operator, was arrested when she
was reported to have screamed
hysterically, "I didn't kill her." as
she fled from a house on Manhat
tan street, near where Marlon
Parker's body was surrendered.
The others held were Earl Smith,
S3, and Gaylord : Barnaman.
The Padley house was reported
to have revealed footprints, sup
posedly outlined in bloodstains.
Detectives said these proved to be
wine stains.

This was probably the most in

were required. In the solution of
the puzzle. One lady said It was
the best fun she ever had in her
life.
During the closing hours of the
contest a regular avalanche of so

received, which far exceeds any
thing ever experienced in any puz
zle contest ever conducted by this
company. The office staff has
been overloaded with work ever
since, and if they have accident
ally made any errors in entering
subscriptions or any other way,
please advise and corrections will
be made promptly.
The correct answer to the puz

to all expectations, a considerable
number (more than 100) of the
contestants secured the correct
answer to the puzzle and accord
ing to the rules of the contest, a
second puzzle will be submitted
to these tying contestants to
solve. This is In accordance with
the following rule of the contest:
In case of ties a second - puz
zle, like the accompanying chart,

tlnuous chain across the chart en
circling the figures in the circles.
If necessary to eliminate further
ties the puzzle with combinations
changed wilip be presented for as
many as five .more times, after
which, should any ties exist, each
tying contestant will r eceive the
full amount of any awards tied
for." Contestants who succeed
ed In securing the correct answer
on the first puzzle will be mailed
the second puzzle with full infor
mation and rules to solve as soon
as we can. get It printed.

ond puzzle chart and it will be
mailed promptly.
The contestants who were out
classed will no doubt throw up
their hats and cheer for the win
ners, realizing full well that the
puzzle candidates who have the
ability to surpass their own splen
did efforts are truly entitled to
all the praise that is possible to
bestow on them.
Thanks- many puzzle contest
ants have expressed the desire
that we thank their friends who
cooperated with them by giving
them subscriptions and thus as
sisting them to qualify their en-
tries in the contest for the larger
prizes.
