It was revealed, however, that the police had traced telephone calls made | by McGurn during his two weeks’ stay at the hotel. Phone Code Used.

A bandit raid on a freight train yes- government officials that guerilla ele- ments, ever active in this area, in-| tended harm to Mexico's distinguished | guest and his fiance, Miss Anne Mor- ToW. The fear, however, was not shared by Col. Lindbergh and the Morrows, who shortly after their arrival from Toluca late yesterday reaffirmed their intentions of making the trip today, re- turning to Mexico City Monday or| Tuesday. In the raid on the train yesterday, looting was followed by burning of the cars. The affair occurred between EI| Parque and Alarcon, in the State of Morelos, near the highway. | But for the fact that Col. Lindbergh. | his fiance, her mother and sister Eliza- | beth, chose to go to Toluca instead of | adhering to an original plan to motor to | Cuernavaca yesterday they would have | passed close to-the scene of the raid. Bandits Active. Banditry and highway hold-ups oc- | curred during the last year at times when Ambassadoy Morrow himself was making the mota¥’ trip. On one of these occasions he narrowly missed a large highway hold-up. Maximiliano Vigueras, held responsi- | ble for those attacks, has since been | captured and executed, but there have | been teports that Benjamin Mendoza, | who surrendered recently, was back in the field and operating in this district. Motive for attack on Col. Lindbergh and the Morrows would be supplied in desire for ransom On the other hand, the certitude of quick reprisal by the government, should be a deterrent. In view of popularity of Col. Lindbergh and the Morrows, no physical harm to them would be expected. Deny Secret Wedding Plans.

Although the last eight years have seen him elevated | to the highest place in the Nation and significant events and accomplishments of which he is intensely proud, there has always lurked in the Chief Executive’'s mind a desire, sometimes discussed with Mrs Coolidge, to “‘go back home.” In his interview with the Associated Press in 1926 Mr. Coolidge mentioned his visits to the old homestead at Plymouth, Vt.,, and the pleasure he de- rived from doing the little odd jobs that were constantly necessary, things that must be left to others when one sits In the White House surrounded by its large staff of servants. “I like to dispense with the kind of service that it is necessary for me to| have at the White House and wait on myself.” he said then. “If I find a strap broken I like to get out the tools that are used by shoemakers, make a wax end, and repair it.
