'WHITE HOUSE' TEAS HELD ABOARD SHIP 2 | Vaudeville Stunts and Boxing Exhibitions Enliven Good- Will Party’s Voyage. 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 Rer Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. Embarked on the last good-will ship, lay just ahead. proud dreadnaught moved with activity, decidedly not nautical Afternoon teas took place on her trim | quarterdeck, with sea-hardened officers | munching dainty “cakes ana_drinking | orangeade and tea while passing pleas- |antries with the distinguished passen- |gers who soon were to take leave of the ship. Vaudeville stunts and boxing exhibi- tions were staged beneath star-studded | skies for the entertainment of the de- _ | parting civilians. lap of its epochal three weeks' cruise down the west coast of the Americas, the good | ship Maryland broke through the re- aint of naval routine to render final | courtesies to her honored guests. Valparaiso, South America's greatest seaport_and last port of call of the As the steadily southward through the cool waters of the South Pacific her decks became alive pleasant memories of this cruise the rest of our lives. You have conducted Jourselves according to the highest tra- ditions of the Navy. “I'm sorry I can't shake hands with many of you, but please remember this: I shall always consider the boys on the Maryland as personal friends. If ever any of you happen to see me in Washington and I don't recognize you offhand, don't fail to step right up and say, ‘Mrs. Hoover, I was one of the sailors on the Maryland,’ and I shall be happy of the opportunity of meeting you again.” And there was no doubt but that the future First Lady of the Land meant exactly what she said. Cheer for Mrs. Hoover. Mrs. Hoover did not remain for the boxing matches, and as she started to leave the entire audience jumped to its feet and gave her a resounding cheer. The Maryland nosed into the ship- congested harbor of Valparaiso at 8 o'clock on the morning of December 10. Pennants were flying gaily from the rigging of the American and European craft anchored in the broad bay, and dozens of small motorboats were racing out to meet the American battleship. As the good-will ship came to an- chor there was a roar of guns from a fort on shore, followed by the answer- ing salute from the port and starboard batteries of the Maryland. The newspaper men, as usual, were | put ashore fi They found the wharves jammed with spectato through whom an avenue had bes opened by companics of Chilean troops. The short route to the railroad station, where waited a “presidential special,” was lined with double ranks of Chilean marines in colorful full dress. A naval band stood ready to render the custom- ary musical flourish. There were literally tons of baggage to unload from the ship and place on the train, and this task consumed more than half an hour. When the work was done Mr. and Mrs. Hoover came ashore and, were welcomed by the mayor of Valparaiso, Senor Lautaro Rosas, and a group of other officials of the port. With a Prussian-like Chilean general leading the way, the good-will party walked rapidly through the crowds to the nearby train as the band played who packed the sidewalks during the Hoover reception were Spanish rather than Indian, The Chileans are proud of their Castilian blood, and this pride has tended t> produce “classes” among the inhabitants of the republic. The buildings of Santiago were in holiday dress, and from nearly every window and balcony hung flags of the United States and Chile. Every inch of sidewalk space was occupied by cheering throngs, and hundreds of citi- zens shouted their acclaim from bal- conies and rooftops. Overhead zoomed a formation of airplanes. ‘The procession halted in front of the American embassy, and Mr. and Mrs, | | Hoover went inside for a brief rest be- | fore beginning the strenuous program | of the afternoon.

HAVANA, February 15 (#).—Two Havana English language newspapers, the Havana Morning Post and the Havana Evening Telegram, were sold yesterday to an American publishing company headed by M. Koenigsbergh, formerly with the W. R. Hearst organi- zation. = The sales price was not made | known. It is understood that complete repor- torial and advertising staffs will be sent | here within the next month to direct the publications.

Hoovers to the capital, pointing out sights of special interest as.the train sped through the countryside. The mayor also presented Mr. and Mrs. Hoover with some old Spanish colonial silver pieces as a token of esteem from the city of Valparaiso. The train carried the party steadily upward toward the foothills of the An- dean cordillera, at the base of which rests the beautiful capital of the flour- ishing republic. The journey ended in a large and modern railroad station, in front of which had assembled many [thousands of citizens and several regi- | ments of cavalry. President Meets Hoover. 'To the surprise of every one, President | Carlos Ibanez had come to the station to meet the American President-elect, |an honor accorded to but one or two other visitors to the capital in all its history. Gen. Ibanez, attired in mili- tary uniform of blue, with saber slung at his_side, greeted Mr. Hoover with | marked cordiality and escorted him to a magnificent gold-decorated carriage of state, drawn by a prancing team of thoroughbreds. In a “rumble seat” at} the rear sat two dignified footmen with | k hats, long double-breasted coats and pantaloons tucked into white leg- gings. An _escort of picked cavalrymen, |armed with 10-foot lances, from which | fluttered vari-colored pennons, and‘ mounted on spirited horses of the small | Arabian type, rode alongside the open‘ carriage as it proceeded through miles of crowd-lined boulevards to the Amer- jcan embassy. Other members of the party were conveyed in modern Ameri- can automobiles. The entire route was guarded by countless military units, most of whose members were of the Indian type. The faces of these soldiers were for the most part absolutely expressionless, and they executed their maneuvers with machine-like precision. The majority of the Indians were descendants of the war-like Araucanians, whose stubborn resistance to the white man's advances delayed the colonization of Chile many years. As for the average Chilean of the streets, however, it was distinctly no- | ticeable that he retains the European characteristics of his forefathers.
