9 EE - LINDY IN MIAM ENDING MAIL HOP Flying Colonel Silent on Ro- mance as He Lands From Panama. By the Assoclated Press, MIAMI, Fla, February 13—With the same air of unconcern that has marked all his exploits of the air, Col. Charles A, Lindbergh closed another page of history today when he landed here, ending his flight from Panama with the mail. Characteristically, the shy Lindbergh still declined to discuss the new page before him—his forthcoming marriage to Miss Anne Morrow, daughter of the American Ambassador to Mexico, which was announced last night in Mexico City. When the wheels of his amphibian plane touched Floridan soil at 9:58 am. today, the colonel rounded out an air mail chain linking the two Americas and clipping from 3 to 12 days from the old sailing time. Started February 4. The round trip began February 4.} when Lindbergh winged southward to open the route which the Pan-American Airways plans to extend into the South American_Continent As technical advisor to the Pan- American corporations, Col. Lindbergh was chosen to pilot the first plane over the long island, water and Isthmus trail, an aerial highway which was ex- pected to knit closer in the future the commerce and friendships of the West- ern world. Carefully planning in advance every detail of the journey to Panama, just as he has done so many times in the days when he flew the mail and pre- pared for his successful flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris, Col. Lindbergh completed the voyage with- out untoward incident. He arrived at Cristobal, Panama, on February 6 and did not start back until February 10. Deviates From Course. En route back the colonel decided to take a look at the Honduran coast for possible landing places for future planes and caused some anxiety when he failed to arrive at Havana yesterday on the projected schedule, While the world sought for news of his whereabouts Lindbergh was caimly _alighting on isolated La Fe Bay, off the extreme | western coast of Cuba, and refueling his | lane. He continued to Havana, where | ge spent last night, taking off for Miami at 7:24 o'clock this morning. Yesterday's leg of the regular flight lay across the Caribbean Sea from | Belize. British Honduras, via Cozumel | Island, off the south coast of Yucatan, the longest water jump of the journey to South America.

LINDY REFUSES COMMENT. —— Cubans Told Nothing of Plans Regard- ing Fiancee in Mexico. HAVANA, February 13 (®).—Curios- | ity was aroused todsy as to whether Col. Charles A. Lindbergh would fly to Mexico City to visit his fiancee, Miss | Anne Morrow. | A laconic statement, “I will confine y remarks to aviation,” was all Col. gtndbergh had to say about his en- gagement, but in confining his remarks o aviation he outlined a flight schedule which some saw as affording an op- portunity for a Mexico City visit. Tomorrow he will fly from Miami to New York, departing soon thereafter on a transcontinental flight over the airmail line route from New York to Los Angeles. At Los Angeles he will be within a day's flight of Mexico City, where Miss Morrow, with her mother, arrived yesterday. It was a much delayed Lindbergh who reached Havana late yesterday from Belize, British Honduras. Friends had believed he would arrive here as early | as 1:45 pm., and a crowd, including United States Ambassador Noble Judah | and Mrs, Judah, waited for hours for him here. Lands 100 Miles East. Anxiety for his safety was allayed later when word came of a landing for fuel at La Fe, Cuba, about 100 miles east of here; he himself arrived at Columbia Air Field at 7:48 p.m. Word of his engagement had pre- ceded him and he apparently knew it. He jumped from the cockpit of his mphibian airplane with a shy grin and | faced reporters with the comment: “Well, you know all about it and I have nothing to say.” Repeated questioning brought only the additional statement that he would “confine remarks to aviation.” Loitering over the route from Belize here, and difficulty in take-off from Cozumel Island, east of Quintana Roo, Mexico, were given by Col. Lindbergh and Col. John Hambleton, who ac- companied him, as reasons for his de- layed arrival here. Over Honduran Coast. The fiyers, who were also accompanied | by Lieut. Christian Schilt, Marine| Corps, said they had flown over part of the Honduran coast inspecting it for landing places. At Cozumel Island the water was rough and though they had no difficulty in alighting they were compelled to taxi the plane to & quieter spot before taking off. MISS MORROW POPULAR. Her Friends Describe Her as “Old Fashioned” Girl. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 13.—Miss Anne Spencer Morrow, the future Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, was described by friends today as an ideal mate for the flying colonel. Both are of the old-fashioned type as contrasted to the modern flapper and the slick-haired youth of today. But Miss Morrow is not averse to a bit of fun, and to her intimates is known as a laughing, frolicksome young woman, just as “Slim” Lindbergh in his mail- fiying days was known for his practical Jokes and harmless horseplay. ¥ Born in Englewood, N. J., a fashion- able suburb across the Hudson from New York, Miss Morrow is 22 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, has large brown eyes and dark brown unbobbed hair. The colonel is 27 years old, more than § feet tall and a blond, Both are Pres- Byterians. At Smith College, Northampton, Mass , from which she was graduated last year, Miss Morrow was one of the most popular girls of her class. Besides show- ing a decided aptitude in her studies, she was prominent in many social and extra-curricular activities. . She wrote the Ivy day song for her class and a senior song as well.

Steven Callaway had been rescued by an automobile ferry’ 60 miles northeast of Key West from the amphibian plane in which they were forced down yesterday. Neither had been harmed, although they had drifted all night in the dis- abled craft. By the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla, February 13.—Col. Charles Lindbergh left the Pan-Ameri- | can Airport by plane here at 12:15 | o'clock to go in search of Lieut. Steven Callaway of Washington and R. L Dunten, operations manager of Pan- American Alrways, Inc, whose am- | phibian plane was forced down to the | water 35 miles off Key West last night. | Lindbergh decided to make the flight | in an attempt to aid in the location of the fiyer after he had held a conference with officials of the Pan-American Air- ways here. He departed 2 hours and 17 minutes after his arrival from Havana and indicated he would go to Key West and from there to Lone Key, near American Shoals. Expects to Cruise About Keys. He was accompanied by Col. John Hambleton, who had this morning com- pleted the return flight with Lind- bergh from Panama; a radio operator and a mechnic. Hambleton made the trip as an observer. Lindbergh expected to cruise about| the Florida keys in the vicinity of the spot where Callaway was belleved to have been floating last night, although it was stated that he would probably fly along the course of the Gulf Stream, where it was believed that the plane, owned by Richard F. Hoyt of New York, might have drifted with the current. Planes left early this morning for a flight along the coast between here and Key West to augment a search by Coast Guard and naval craft which put out yesterday to locate the plane. ‘Although poor visibility was said to | be handicapping the searching party, little anxiety for the safety of the miss- ing amphibian was expressed. Searchers expressed the belief that it was resting on calm waters sheltered by keys in the vicinity of American Shoals. woman, Anne is less so than her sister, Elisabeth, a few years her elder, who is a teacher at the exclusive Dwight School for Girls at Englewood. Anne is said by friends to be fond of attractive clothes and to have a greater interest in people than books. Rumors that Col. Lindbergh was in- terested in the Morrow girls persisted almost from the time he first met them a year ago on his first good-will flight to Mexico. But even members of the | Morrow family professed not to know which of the girls it might be. Gen- erally he was seen with them together, and both had made flights with him, When Elisabeth returned from Europe last November, where in Turkey she visited the colonel’s mother, Mrs. Evan- geline Lindbergh, rumor had it that she was to be the bride. She declined, however, to discuss the matter, and the colonel when later questioned on the same subject likewise maintained his customary silence regarding all things other than aviation. Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh need not worry about the wolf at the door. The Lone Eagle hopped to fortune as well as fame when he made his flight to Paris, although he has declined many offers of a financial nature. And Mr. Morrow was a partner in J. P. Morgan & Co. before he became Ambassador. ‘There are virtually simultaneous ro- and a famous classmate, Calvin Cool- idge, whose son John is engaged to Miss Florence Trumbull, daughter of the Governor of Connecticut. There are three sisters and a brother in the Morrow family. In addition to Anne and Elisabeth there are Con- stance, a younger sister, who is attend- ing a girls’ school at Milton, Mass., and Dwight W. Morrow, jr., a student at Ambherst, his father's alma mater. Mrs. Morrow was the former Elizabeth Reeve Cutter of Cleveland. When rumors of the colonel’s engage- ment to one of the Morrow girls were first published here, Mrs. J. J. Morrow, an aunt, was quoted as saying both girls had told her several times there was nothing to the rumors, as “Lindy isn't a bit sentimental and doesn’t care for girls.” Mrs, Morrow also was quoted at that time as saying it was her attitude, and she thought that of the rest of the family, that if Col. Lindbergh would marry a Morrow he would have to give up flying. Gambling Ban Aids Movies. FOOCHOW, China (#)—The Nation- |ICE CAVES IN AIR mances in the families of Mr. Morrow !

DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska, February 13.—The Japanese steamer Nankah Maru hovered off the rockbound Aleu- tian Islands, fighting a heavy storm to- day, as it awaited an opportunity to rescue 25 men aboard the doomed Japa~ nese freighter Melyo Maru. Not far away a third Japanese vessel, the Allo- way, with one crazed member of her crew aboard, was being driven toward destruction ‘on the rocks. The Nankan Maru reached the Meiyo Maru late yesterday, several hours aft- er the latter had broadeast weak sig- nals that she was pounding to pieces on the rocks of Ugamak Island. Be- cause of heavy seas the rescue vessel was unable to assist her, but stood by, | waiting for the storm to de. 33 Seamen Picked Up. Thirty-three members of the crew of the Alloway were picked up in lifeboats by the steamer Montauk yesterday after an unsuccessful five-day fight against the storm. The Montauk had been try- ing to tow the Alloway to Dutch Harbor. When the towline broke and the dis- abled vessel began heading for the rocks of Unimak Pass the Montauk be- gan to back away. The helpless ship crashed into the Montauk, but the latter made a safe getaway, while all except one member of the Alloway's crew took to lifeboats. The crazed member of the Alloway's crew, & man named Poiey, refused to leave the doomed freighter. The Allo- way's dragging anchors caught on a rock a few yards off shore and at last reports she was holding there with | Poley still aboard. Fights Rescuers. The Montauk reported that the an- chors would soon give and that the Allo- doubtless would be pounded to pieces. The captain of the Montauk ared he would not endanger his own ship further in an attempt to take Pciey from the vessel. Poiey’s compan- ions said he had fought them when they tried to take him into a lifeboat. What caused the Meiyo Maru to go aground remained undetermined. The Nankoh Maru's reports indicated that there was no hope of saving the vessel, and that the storm was so intense that it could not be determined whether she was on Ugamak or Aiktak Island. Both the Alloway and the Meiyo Maru were on their way to the Orient. The Alloway was to have been scrapped upon reaching her destination. INSANITY STORY DOUBTED.

SEATTLE, February 13 (#).—Mariners | center. | sons leave you here declared today that the oiler who | refused to abandon the freighter | Alloway with 33 other members of lh!“ crew off the Aleutian Islands yesterday | may not be insane as reported, but | perhaps rather wise. ! Brief radio advices from the steamer Montauk, which rescued the men in Unimak Pass, reported that ofler Poiey of Seattle had gone crazy from the five-day battle with an Alaskan storm and could not be forced to leave the distressed ship, Mariners suggested, however, that Poley may be staking his life against a small fortune in salvage. If the Alloway should be saved he would be entitled to a percentage of the salvage, depending on the part that his staying with the ship played in her rescue. Admiralty courts look favorably upon claims of seamen for their part in saving property endanger- ed at sea, shipping authorities sald. Ships given up as doomed on the Alaskan coast often are salvaged. Salvage awards frequently amount to half the value of the ship and cargo. There are 600 tons of wheat and 1,000,000 feet of lumber in the Alloway’s | cargo. ASK $25,000 DAMAGES. Two Suits Filed as R_elult of Auto Crash December 7.

The future of Madame —— for the next seven years is too direful to con- template. Madame — is & clairvoyant and palmist with officcs on a busy down- town corner.

It might be calculated. that| madame’s return is at the rate of $20 infinite hardly Madame most Madame charges $5 for a soul read- ing and $2 for a palm reading. The two reporters took palm readings. All This for $2. Here is what Madame told reporter No. 1: “Your life-line indicates that you will live & long time, if you take care of yourself. You will die rich. Your money Wwill come from fortunate in- vestments rather than from your ow earnings. You have an artistic tem perament and are clever with tools.

You will meet scmebody whom you haven't seen for a long time. “Remember now, I tell you only vhat I see and not what you might like to know.” Bungler With Tools. This was $2 worth. The customer hates to discredit madame’s glowing predictions but must remark that he is probably the worst bungler with tools in Washington and would have ever juggled a scalpel. This is the second $2 worth, as re- ported by reporter No. 2: “You are going to live a long life, it you take good care of yourself. will be several narrow escapes, your good judgment will pull through.” you Asked if these escapes would have | to do with the physical or moral, there was a bit of nedging, but “You must be careful of the company you keep and not be led into temptation.” Then the question: “Have you ever thought of following a professional ca- reer?” ‘The subject hedges, and asks “You | mean surgery for instance?” “Yes, or anything.” Responding to the pointed question, advises subject that he’d make a fine surgeon “if you just set your mind on it.” Sees no deaths in the future to worry subject.

Demand that the membership of the House be given an opportunity to vote on the Dale bill to liberalize the Civil Service retirement law was made this | afternoon during general debate on the | Representative Hudson, Republican, Michigan, led the demand. Referring to the bird refuge legislation that was rushed through in response to an avalanche of letters received by members of Congress, Mr. Hudson de- clared that the Dale measure is a refuge bill for human kind. “While we are not cluttered with letters as we have been on other measures, I want to bring to your attention that hundred: and thousands of men and women who served the Government for a lifetime are in need of this protection. They are now on the bare hills of necessity,” he said. Garner Questions Hudson. Minority Leader Garner questioned Mr. Hudsom as to how the special rule ordered by the ruies committee had been held up. “It is my understand- ing,” said Mr. Garner, “that it is done by direction of the President of the United States.” Mr. Hudson said he did not believe that this was so. Rep- resentative Woodruff, Republican, of Michigan, asked the speaker if he really believed that this legislation would become a law even if passed by both houses of Congress. and Mr. Hudson answered that he had no reason to be- | lieve otherwise. Representative Blanton, Democrat, Texas, declared that when the rules| committee ordered out a rule it was the duty of the chairman of that com- mittee to report the rule to the House within a reasonable time and referred to the fact that Chairman Snell of the rules committee was then presiding in the committee of the whole, saying, “We now have the chairman of the rule committee in a position where he can't say anything.” Mr. Snell promptly called Represent- ative Williams, of Illinois to take his place in the chair. In the meantime he felt Mr. Snell at the proper time would report this bill Boylan Favors Relief. Mr. Garner and Mr. Schafer, Repub- lican, of Wisconsin, then questioned whether it was the duty of Congress to obey promptly such orders that might come from the other end of the Capitol and stbp legislating because the measure under consideration did not meet the wishes of the President: Mr. Schaefer declared that Congress should not be a rubber stamp for the President. Representative Boylan, Democrat, New York, said he was in sympathy with the drive to get the legislative re- lief for the superannuated employes and said he would be glad to co-operate if a workable plan was suggested. Mr Snell asked Mr. Hudson if the actuaries had not stated that this meas- ure would cost $10,000,000. Mr. Hudson replied that any such estimate was all wrong and Mr. Snell commented that if better figures could be had the Gov- ernment ought to get them.

Lord, director of ths budget, that the $10,000,000 appropria- tion provided in the bill to carry out the comprehensive plan of bird protec- tion, was not opposed to the President’s policy of economy. He was accompanied to the White House by Senator Norbeck of South Dakota and Representative Andresen | of Minnesota. He said the President appeared greatly interested in the bill, which proposed to establish inviolate sanctuaries in various parts of the country on which hunting will be pro- hibited in carrying out the migratory bird treaty with Canada. President Coolidge did not indicate whether he would approve the bill. Dr. Pearson is chairman also of the National Comniittee on Wild Life Pres- ervation, which rcpresents the various Audobon Societies, game wardens and others interested in protecting bird and animal life.

They in Ihlrn were followed by Senator Warren of Wyoming, the senior Republican member of the Senate, and Senator Simmons of North Carolina, the senior Democratic Senator. The rest of the Senators, marching two by two, were in line according to their seniority. In the House chamber, seats had been reserved for the Senate in the front rows. The House rose as {)he Senators marched into the cham- er. Speaker Longworth turned the gavel over to Vice President Dawes, who pre- sided during the joint session. The count of the electoral votes re- vealed that Hoover for President and Curtis for Vice' President had received 444 votes, cast by 40 States, and that Alfred E. Smith of New York and Joseph T.

During the campaign last year the threat was made by opponents of Mr. Hoover to bring a charge that he was not qualified to become President of the United States under that clause in the Constitution which provides that i to be President a candidate must have been a resident of the United States for 14 years immediately prior to his election. It was intimated at the time that the question might be raised when the two houses of Congress canvassed the electoral votes cast by the States. Sup- porters of Mr. Hoover declared emphati- cally that despite his long residence abroad he had always remained a citi- zen of the United States and technical- ly a resident of this country. The House galleries were filled to capacity for the ceremony today. Al- though the results of the election have been known for months, the announce- ment of the vote cast by various States was followed with keen interest. There was vigorous applause as the vote of some of the States was declared by the tellers and the Vice President. The tellers, on the part of the House, were Representatives Gifford of Mas- sachusetts, Republican, and Repre- sentative Jeffers of Alabama, Democrat. Neither Senator Curtiss, Republican leader, and Vice President-elect, nor Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who was the Democratic candidate for Vics Pres- ident, and who is the Democratic leader of the Sepate. came over to the House today in the procession of the Senaie. Since both were to be balloted for they remained away.

He suggested both to the galleries and to the members of Congress that there should be no applause during the can- vass and counting of the electoral votes by the tellers. Admonition Is Disregarded. The certificates filed by the vice presidential and presidential electors Wwere carried into the House by two | Senate pages in mahogany inlaid boxes carefully locked. The keys to these | boxes were handed to the tellers by i the Vice President, After the boxes had been opened, announcements of the re- turns were made. The first voie was that of Alabama, 12 votes for Smith and | Robinscn. Then came Arizona. Sena- tor Shortridge, who made the announce- ment for that State, seemed to have stated that its electoral votes were cast for Smith. Immediately a burst of laughter passed over the floor of the House chamber. ‘The assembly disregarded entirely the admonition of the Vice President not to lprg?“d when Representative Gifford of Massachusetts arose to an- nounce that the electoral vote of the Old Bay State had been cast for Smith and Robinson. There was round afier round of applause and the Vice Presi- dent pounded in vain to quell this burst of enthusiasm which came princi- pally from the Democratic side but in which some Republicans joined. Initiate Old “Rebel Yell.” ‘The Republicans had their turn for applause when the electoral votes of New York and North Carolina were announced as having been carried for Hoover and Curtis. ‘When the tellers declared that Texas had cast its electoral votes for Hoover and Curtis, there was a shrill yell. a crude imitation of the old “rebel yell. The proceedings in the joint session were good humored and Senators and Representatives had a good laugh as the results were announced from some of the States. Such was the case when Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, an- nounced that Virginia had gone for Hoover and Curtis. The laughter was followed by applause on the Republican side. This was too much for one of the Democratic members, who emitted a loud “Shush.” ‘When the roll of the States had been completed Vice President Dawes sald: “The certificates of all the States have been opened. The tellers will make a final ascertainment of the re- sult of the election.” This direction was greeted with laughter, since the final result of the election had been known for the last three months. When the tellers had handed to the Vice President the results of their tab- ulations, he announced that Herbert Hoover had received 444 electoral votes for President. ‘This announcement was greeted with applause, as was a similar annow ment that Senator Curtis had reccived 444 votes for Vice President. The Vice President formally declared their elec~ tion and said that this canvass of the vote and the announcement of the re- sults would be deemed sufficient declara- tion of their election. The results of the tabulation, he said. would be spread upon the records of the Senate and House. The Vice President then declared the joint session ad- journed, and the Senate marched back to its own chamber. The entire session for the canvass of the electoral vote +j occupled 34 minutes. None of the votes was challenged. Several weeks ego it ! was reported that an effort might be made to challenge the vote of Alabama on the grounds that thousands of votes intended to be cast for Hoover and Cur- tis had been thrown out in the count of the vote on election day.
