Harmony Anticinated
Acting on the belief that the at
nTude that the American delega
tion should be neither one of aloof
ness nor one of aggressiveness;
Mr. Ha ghee and his assistants are
prepared to fall in willingly with
any program the Cuban govern
ment may have arranged for the
rongress. It was the expectation
cf the American delegation that
the conference will be harmonious
and constructive and free from lo
cal and partisan considerations.
After a conference today with
President Coolidge on the train.
Mr. Hughes expressed his good will
toward the Mexican people and de
clared that recent developments in
Mexico have pointed the way to
a satisfactory solution of the ques
tions at Issue between that coun
try and the United States

As these policies were made evi
dent on the president's special
train Mr. Coolidge sped toward
Key West where tomorrow morn
ing he will embark on the battle

Tbe trip south from Waahing-
oa today brought him Into the
sunshine and warm weather - of
rida, where large crowds of
people were on hand; at every sta
tion to wave a welcome to him and
Mrs. Coolidge.
Their train stopped at Jackson
ville and New Smyrna and passed
slowly through the other cities en
route to Miami, where a halt of
one hour was made for an automo
lile tour of the city.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1$ (API.
A search to determine the antors
of tbe Mexican documents pub
lished In hearst newspapers
wa promised the senate here by
its special Investigating commit
tee which submitted its report
that the documents were "spur
ious and frnudulent."
- Miguel Avila. American born
son of a Mexican father and Ital
ian mother, was pot under suspi
cion of complicity In the manufac
ture of the papers by Senator
Reed. republican, Pennsylvania,
chairman of the committee, as he
I asked time for the committee to
seek the authors of the documents.
: The committee aagln notified
tbe Benate that not a "scintila of
evidence." had been uncovered In
its Inquiry to show that any UnJ-
ted States senator was approached
or received any money as was
charged in one of the documents.
This paper purported to show that
Si. 215, 000 was set aside by
Mexico. for Senators Borah of Ida
ho; Norris of Nebraska; Helfln of
Alabama and , La Follette of Wis
consin. , -
Senator Norris wanted to know
if the committee had any suspi
cions about the. papers or if. some
action could not be taken against
some of the witnesses who ap
peared before it fqx perjury.
Senator Heed replied he J'frank-
ly suspected Avila," and said he
thou gh t Job n PageRearst r epor
ter," who wrote' the stories r the
documentshad "testified falsely."
but he did not think -there was
sufficient evidence to warrant, ac
tion against either. . Reed said he
thought Page had "testified false
ly" when he said he forgot the
name of the man who gave a copy
of a letter purporting to have
been sent by Senator. La. Follette
to President Calles. Thls com
munication. 'sent by page to the

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18 (AP)
-Recovering its former position,
the '; supreme court ; stated Moa
day that If would make a sweep
ing-Inquiry into wire tapping .In
connection with prohibition en
forcement. - Previously 'the court
had refused to" review cases in
which wire tapping was Involved.
It explained today that Its pur
pose was to determine whether ev
idence obtained through llsteniag
In .on private telephone conversa
tion? could 'be used in prohibition
prosecutions without violating the
constitutional rights of the per
sons on trial. - ' - -
Out of the prosecution . of 90
persons at Seattle. Wash., for con
piracy to violate the prohibition
laws arose three separate appeals
based oa the contention that the
i evidence obtained through wire
tapping methods had bees Unlaw
fully used by the government. The
lower courts had held ' that priv
ate telephone conversations ob
tained through wire tapping was
properly ad mlssable as evidence.
The supreme court refused to
review the cases and subsequent
ly refused to reconsider Its action
la two of them. Ia acting today
upon the third petition for recon
sideration the court decided. to go
thoroughly into the question.

MIAMI. Fla., Jan. 14. (AP).
President Coolidge arrived In Ml
ami on schedule time this after
n aboard his epaclal train, en
route to Havana to be greeted by
. one of the largest crowds that has
seen aim on any of -his reeeat
trips. ; The presidenUal '. party.
I somewhat retarded by the throng.
left ten minutes late after aa an
tomobile tour of the city and Ml
': ami Beach. . " m f-
s The crowd lined yirtualljrjeyery
the iadlcators of their flying in
struments. It had beea calculated
that they would be ahla to remain
la the air nntil 7 o'cloehv .
Casually and modestly, Cham-
berlln descrrbed how moat of their
supply of : sandwiches - had ' teen
rained by the poisonous ethyl
gasoline, leaking from one of the
gravity tanks ia the wings, how
the "terrible" coffee , ia their
thermos bottles had made : them
sick; how they had endured in
tense cold when the heat pipes In
their cabin, leading from the ex
haust, had broken on their first
night In the air. f r h ' -
"I discovered the leaking tank
when ! turned on my flashlight
to make an examination on Thurs
day night." Chamberlin said. "We
refilled the tank just ' the aame
and used it for several hours. We
each did two and three -hour
watches. These little snatches of
cleen and occasional - drinks of
water kept us going.' -
"This morn Ins: at 7:30 we for
got to eat. We were too busy try
tag to figure out how far we could
go on the gas we had left. Since
then wa had been . using about
five gallons of gas .an hour. When
we-saw we might not make the
grade we chueked away our ther
mos bottles, a couple of dozen
sandwiches and a box of flashlight
batteries. They landed on some
farm in Westbury, I think.
"That's all there is to It. We
came down when our tanks went
dry and the stick died."
"He means." Interrupted Wil
liams with a smile, "that we came
down when we ran bat of conver
sation."

FRAGMiTXT OF STtMP
BY
: WASHINGTON. Jan.' 14 (AP)
Approval oflhe administration
$7JZ5.000,000 warship construc
tion program was urged upon con
gress here by high naval officials
as' necessary to. the establishment
of - an -American navy strong
enough to ''protect commerce, pre
serve ouy ocean trade routes and
provide adequate national de
tense." t
"We have not such a fleet at
the' present time," was one of tbe
conclusions of the navy general
board placed before the house na
val committee by Secretary Wil
bur.; .
The secretary 1 n testimony
stressed ' a 1 personal belief that
"America needs a first class navy'
and -declared he felt that If the
tprogram were carried ' out the
"'danger of ' .war .and therefore of
the destruction of our overseas
commerce will be greatly minim
ized If not entirely met."
"Admiral Charles F. Hughes,
chief om naval operations, said
that while completion of the pro
gram would not give the United
States , command of the sea, . the
proposed ahlps added ."to our
present force". would cause any na
Uon to pause before attacking
American rights and Interests.
: Mr. Wilbur explained that the
program proposing the construc
tion of 25 new ten thousand ton
cruisers, five aircraft carriers, nine
destroyer leaders and 32 submar
ines, could not be considered, as
competitive' but was "based upon
the needs of our navy as It Is de
termined by the secretary of the
navy upon the technical advice of
the ' pavy general board." " ,
lie. said that Great Britain at
the Geneva conference had reject
ed the original American proposal
Cor a : maximum cruiser tonnage
of between 2(0.000 and 300,000
tons, insisting that; regardless of
the navies of other powers, it re
quired a; 400.000 cruiser 'tonnage
to meet Ita" needs.-'
