FEBRUARY 6, 19297 .. ... .. President Gonzales and U. S. Executive Hold Lengthy In- formal Conference. {San Jose Takes on Holiday Attire in Honor of Americans. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover's trip to South America, in which untold | diplomatic advantages were recorded | for the United States, are to be | gained from the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s ot representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. XVIIIL BY REX COLLIER. Peace-loving San Jose met the Hoover | good-will mission with legions of bright- | eyed, checring school children instead of regiments of cavalry. Thousands of tiny citizens of the republic, released from school by gov- ernmental decree and dressed in bright | clothes, formed the unique which welcomed America President-elect to the progressive Costa Rican capital, | There was & detachment of Costa | Rican soldiers at the station when the | Hoover special train screeched in from | Puntarenas, but they were armed not | with bayonets but with band instru- ments. The handful of mounted guards as- signed the task of escorting the Ameri- can_visitors into the city was wholly | inadequate to handle the 10,000 or so persons jammed about the presidential | | | excitedly right up to the steps of the train, As the President-elect and Mrs, Hoover appeared on the platform and started to alight the band played the | national anthems of the United States“ and Costa Rica. The thousands of spec- | tators stopped their surging momen- | !m;&g'i and the babel of tongues was stilled. ‘Walk Cobbled Streets. As soon as the final strain had been | rendered, however, the friendly disorder | started again. The mounted “policia” | charged at the crowds and succeeded in cleaving a narrow lanc through the | mass of humanity. President-elect and | Mrs. Hoover and one or two members | of their staff moved forward in the| wake of the horses, but other members | of their party became lost in the crush. The Hoovers thoroughly enjoyed the informality of the reception. | Fortunately, it was but a walk of| about two blocks over cobbled streets to the American legation, a large drab building, perched high on a terraced | corner, with broad stone steps leading | from the street to an esplanade in front | of the main doorway. The crowds trailed the President-elect closely, but were forced to halt at the | entrance to the legation grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover paused as they reached the landing above the street and waved another greeting to the cheering mob. Then they entered the legation to be- come the guests for an hour of the American Minister, Roy T. Davis. The throng outside refused to leave, however. Instead it settled itself into a comfortable position to await ‘the reappearance of the Hoovers. Some of the boys and men climbed on top of automobiles and others found places of vantage on roofs and on the crumbling terraces of an ancient bastille, directly across the street from the American legation. The visit to the legation enabled Mr. and Mrs. Hoover to remove the dust of the four-hour train ride, preparatory to plunging into the busy program ar- ranged ofr the ensuing few hours. Meet President Gonzales. They were driven from the legation in shiny new American automobiles to the Peace Palace, an imposing govern- ment edifice housing administrative offices of the republic. There they were met by President Gonzales, a | short, bald-headed man whose distin- | guished appearance was accentuated by his evenly trimmed white moustachz | and beard. The American President- elect and the Costa Rican “Presidente” began a lengthy informal conference which was ended only by the announce- ment of an aide that the hour for the State luncheon was at hand. Mr. Hoover was driven to the Teatro Nacional, or Natlonal THeater, scene of the luncheon, through narrow streets lined with school children wav- ing small American flags. It was an inspiring sight, and one that moved Foreign Minister Rafael Castro to say: “Costa Rica is proud that there was no military display here in connection with Mr. Hoover's visit. Our country lined the streets of its capital witn school children, rather than soldiers. Those happy little boys and girls proudly wave their salutes to Mr. Hoover in the name of peace. The great American President-elect,' travel- ing on a mighty battleship converted into a ship of peace and traveling on a mission of good will is received by Costa Rica in precisely the same spirit. “We of the present generation, and our children who will be the next, ac- claim this occasion as an historic epoch. The visit of Mr. Hoover is worth 20 legations. It is worth years of diplo- macy!” Want Nicaragua Canal. Incidentally, members of the mission were advised that Costa Rica is eager to have the United States go ahead with the Nicaraguan Canal project, for the republic expects to experience valu: able economic benefits from the enter- prise. Costa Rica has a deep personal interest in the selection of a route be- cause some of the proposed works would invade her boundary line. As a result there are certain territorial rights which she must consider in any negotiation for rights-of-way. Her attitude, it was declared, is one of whole-hearted co-operation. It is this invariable desire to co- operate, to avoid misunderstandings and to shun international complications that has impelled Costa Rica virtually to disband her army and to spend the money saved thereby on education. “What would you do if some nation insisted on declaring war on you and sent an army to your country?” one of the Costa Ricans was asked. “Well, I guess we would have to mo- bilize our school teachers and send them out to give the invaders a good | It required much horn blowing and dexterous steering to wedge the proces- sion of official automobiles through the throng which had collected outside the | ornamental iron fence of the National Theater. The theater was selected for the presidential feast because it was the only building in San Joes that could accommodate the 250 guests at one seating. No Fixed Seats. Unlike the theaters in North Amer- ica, the auditorium floor was level and there were no fixed.seats on it, which made it easily adaptable to the purposes of a banquet. Opera fans in San Jose are seated in a double row of spacious, plush-decorated boxes which circle the entire auditorfum. On this occasion was fined $10 for intoxication. Harvard University has an endow. ment of over $80,000,000, the boxes were occupled by specially in- vited guests, mostly members of the for- eign colony, who were permitted to watch the others eat. Entering the large, ornate lobby, the THEATER SCENE OF FEAST| | SCHOOL CHILDREN INSTEAD OF SOLDIERS ACT AS OFFICIAL "ARMY" IN GREETING HOOVER PARTY ON VISIT TO COSTA RICA President-elect Hoover meets President Gonzales Viquez of Costa Rica at the Palace of Peace, in San Jose. Hoover party was escorted to a grand staircase of marble, upon which ascent was made to a gaudily decorated ball- room on the second floor of the build- ing. Here had been established a tem- porary art gallery for the display of works by contemporary Costa Rican rtists. The exhibit had been held over from an industrial exposition especially for Mr. Hoover’s benefit. The Costa Rican—man as well as woman—is fond of fine perfume, and just before Mr. and Mrs. Hoover en- tered the exhibit room an agile attend- ant walked rapidly around the place and sprayed eau de cologne into the air with a yard-long squirt gun, not unlike the old-fashioned bicycle pump. This perfuming process is reserved for ex- traordinary guests, it was learned. The exhibit was extremely Interesting, representative as it was of all schools of modern and futuristic art in Central America. Mr. Hoover was attracted particularly by a painted poster bearing his likeness in caricature, with an inset | showing him astride an elephant in close pursuit of a donkey bearing his Democratic opponent, Alfred E. Smith. Looked Like U. S. Politics. “Hm-m-m. Looks like American pol- itics are being played down here, too,” he remarked with a smile. Miss Fesler, secretary to Mrs. Hoover, called the latter’s attention to the pos- ter as they neared it & moment later with the exclamation: “Oh, look! Senor Smith!” After inscribing their names on a heavily bound registration volume, the party proceeded downstairs again to the auditorium and took their places at the richly appointed horseshoe-shaped ban- quet board. At each plate was a gold- engraved menu and place card, em- bossed with the crossed flags of the United States and Costa Rica. The San Jose luncheon was most elaborate. It scemed the courses of luscious Central American dishes never would end. An efficient army of wait- ers served the repast without confusign. Throughout the meal a marvelous stringed orchestra, screened by draper- ies, played seléctions of North and South American and European composers, Giant Strawberries. _When the dessert course, consisting of giant strawberries, bananas, oranges and specimens of that juicy, melonlike trop- ical fruit, the papaya—had been served, President Gonzales arose and, turning to Mr. Hoover, said: “Your mission was a happy inspira- tion. This trip which you have taken partly as a means of study and partly as a means of recreation we hope will have the greatest, most flourishing and positive results for the betterment of cconomic and political relations be- tween the United States and other peoples of our continent. “Our relations must be cemented upon a basis of mutual confidence for perfect understanding and sincere and sound friendship between our people and your country.” The Costa Rican President delivered his address in Spanish, but it was re- peated immediately in English by an interpreter. President-elect Hoover in his reply paid tribute to Costa Rica's practical demonstration of its desire for peace, mentioning the fact that most of the nation’s soldiers were bandsmen and that the standing army's strength was less, numerically, than that of the country's teaching forces. He referred also to the Costa Rica’s “own your own home” program, under which nearly every family has a farm of its own. “Nowhere do I know of a greater and more proved example of the: benefits to | mankind of our common institutions than those which have been accom- plished through the hands of the people of Costa Rica. Their advancement of human welfare is well known to my country.” Mr. Hoover was accorded a deafen- ing ovation when he arose to speak and when he completed his short ad- dress. His speech was applauded upon its delivery in English, and again upon its_interpretation in Spanish. Following the luncheon the party was taken for a tour of the city. The route led through the Avenida Central, principal downtown thoroughfare, whose two-story stucco buildings were gayly decorated with the flags of Costa Rica | and the United States. | having been declared, all the shops and | | market places were closed, but the side- walks were packed with pedestrians, | Nearly every business building and resi- dence boasted a wooden or iron balcony from which whole families shouted greetings to the Americans as the pro- cession sped by. The trip ended at a railroad station, several blocks distant from the point where the party had alighted. The special traln had been backed to this depot, and in so doing, it was learned. had run over a native boy. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were not advised of the accldent. The return journey was made in less than the four hours consumed on the uphill trip. Dusk had set in as the | | | | | | transformed the countryside into an artistic silhouette so beautiful that it seemed unreal. President Gonzales paid Mr. Hoover the great honor of accompanying him back to Puntarenas, and the uneventful train ride was spent in friendly con- ference aboard the comfortable private car. Senor Gonzales bade a most cordial farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and their companions when the train eased up to the wharves in the night-blanketed town, and the party made its way slowly through dense crowds gathered to see the Americans off. The Maryland's boats were waiting at the dock, and without further ado the good-will mission turned its back reluctantly on Central America and set out for the shadowy outlines of the anchored battleship which was to carry them on to the great continent below the equator.

Entering the courtroom, adjoining the corridor on the fourth floor, where the shooting occurred, Mrs. Brown did not appear to be nervous as she calmly stepped before Judge John P. McMahon. Her attorney, James A. O'Shea, entered a plea of not guilty, and the case was continued until February 20. The condition of her husband, Charles A. Brown, 40, of 23 H street, who is confined to Emergency Hospital, be- ing undetermined, District Attorney Joseph C. Bruce recommended that a substantial bond be posted, but Judge McMahon decided that $5,000 security was sufficient.

Beseiged by the Kalapalos Indians i with demands for presents I hadn't | with me, I was in an embarrassing | !siluation until I remembered some cheap jewelry which my wife had bought for me for this purpose before ing New York. I had slipped iti my bag, thinking it might prove iuendy. I lost no time in getting it | i cu. and making a display of it in| public. Nothing could have proved more ac- | ceptable. Earrings and pins were | quickly grabbed up by the men, who | promised without further argument to join us on the morrow. In trying to| explain to them the reason for not hav- ing a larger store of presents we wem: ‘hrough a pantomine of carrying heavy | loads, and how sore and tired we felt| | from packing even the few things we| had with us. | This was interpreted by the Indians | to mean that we were tired and wanted i to rest for a few days. The moment we understood this we had to corre:t: ! the wrong impression. It was not easy, l { and demonstrates how hard it is to convey ideas purely by means of signs. | Nimble Wit Required to Converse. It might well be asked how we man- aged to convey a single thought to such | savage people as these. On‘the face of | it it was not as simple as it might ap- pear. The Indians have.no universal gn language to fall back upon like the orth American redskins, and it re- quires a nimble Wit to piece frag- mentary ideas together which are being | suggested by movement of the hands | and head, et into an intelligibie whole. When the morrow came, enthusiasm for going with us was obviously on the wane, Better start another day, they | said; that will give the women a | chance to bake farinha cakes for the men to take with them. We, in turn, argued against delay. According to | | Indian reckoning it was only three | hours’ walk to the Kuluene, so they | told us, and we wanted to get there before nightfall that very day. ! ! ""During my brief stay with the Kala- | | palos I noted with special interest | some of the ornaments worn by them. | They were of artistic and unusual de- sign. My attention was particularly directed to many stones curiously | | shaped. One, a large maltese cross about 2 inches in diameter worn by a | woman, was well cut out of hard dio- | rite. Some of the men had circular | rings of the same stone or fragments shaped like hammer heads.

Faw cett may have collected these very ornaments, and they had been seized by the Indians. To all my inquiries where they came from they replied with a wave of the hand to the eastward. This may have meant that they were found in the east or that they had been taken from Col. Fawcett's bag- gage, he having traveled in that direc {tion. The owners of these ornaments | seemed to attach great importance to them and would not sell them at any | ization are based on fact and that at | one time a race existed in this region entirely different from any other of the | South American continent. | We heard many interesting rumors | about Indian tribes to the east of the Xingu who gather once a year and cel- | ebrate intertribal dances on the high | ground toward the Araguaya River. The object of these meetings I could not discover. Col. Fawcett remained one night with | the Kalapalos and continued the next | morning to the Kuluene River. I asked | the chief what he knew about the three tall men. Through the medium of ges- tures I gathered that they had been ! killed. He said that the Anauqua In- | dians were bad people. He also told me that one of the trio had been lame and could not walk very fast. This accords | with the last news from Fawcett that | Raleigh Rimmell had & bad foot from ' insect bite.
