WILSON DECLARES
 HIS FAITH IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Former President Addresses Crowd of Admirers Who Give Demonstration at
 His Residence
By Associated Press

Washington, January 15.-De- claring anew his confidence in the vitality of the League of Nations, !" former President Wilson today warned an impromptu gathering at his home here that those who opposed the League would have to "look out for themselves"
 A motion made by man in the au- dience at meeting Of the Woodrow Wilson foundation that those present pay their respect to the former chief executive, led to spontaneous pill grimage of several thousand admirers and friends of Mir. Wilson to his resi- dence. There the crowd was rapidly augmented and swiftly resolved it. self into an enthusiastic demonstra- tion.
 Mir. Wilson's remarks were in reply to Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, who. acting as spokesman for the crowd, had declared that it's presence offered proof that the League of Nations was not dead.
 Wilson Speaks
 'I need hardly tell you how such a demonstration of friendship and con fidence makes me feel" Mir. Wilson replied. There can be no doubt of the vitality of the League of Ma tlons. It will take care of itself and those who do not regard it will have to lookout for themselves. l have no anxiety for it. My only anxiety is to see our great people turn their faces in the right direction and move with al. their force. l thank you for all this l don't deserve it, but l enjoy 1t, nevertheless"
 The former president was assisted to the door by Mrs. Wilson, who shared with him the plaudits of the crowd.
 Voice Strong
 MT Wilson's voice, while lacking the volume of his more vigorous days, was strong enough to carry to most of those who damned the street in front of his home. At one point when the cheers became especially vocifer- ous Mir. Wilson made a motion as though he intended to walk down the steps and shake hands with those nearest, but he was restrained by Mrs. Wilson.
 After Mir. Wilson had retired in- doors, the cheering continued, until he and his wife appeared at a second story window and waved their hands.
 The march from the theatre was led by Senators Walsh of Montana Fletcher of Florida and Harris of Georgia. Thcsmotion which led to the pilgrimage was adopted unanimously at the meeting which had been ad- dressed by Samuel Gompers, pr. Sam uel T. Eliot of Boston. Hamilton Holt of New York and others in behalf of the foundation's program to collect a fund of s1,000,000 for scholarships in honor of MT. Wilson.

Civilians, too, anxious to shower their tributes upon the man who made the last sacrifice on the street, hungry and i'll, joined the service men in large numbers. When the procession reached Elmwood, the crowd already there and waiting for the ceremonies was estimated at be- tween eight and ten thousands Aug mented by the crowd of service men and others in the line of march, the crowd was finally estimated at from ten to twelve thousand.
 feature not included in the pro- gram, but which was nevertheless spectacular and impressive, was the unheralded appearance of five Ku- Klux klansmen. who suddenly ap- peared at the open grave as the bu- gler sounded taps. The klansmen ap- preached reverently, laid beautiful floral tribute on the lowering cas- ket, stood for a moment with hands outstretched over the grave, as If in pious conservation. then vanished into the crowd, leaving no trace as to their identity or whence they came.
 kIan Pays Tribute
 Only card. bearing the legend Robert E. Lee Klan No. of Ala bama'' attached to the flowers, re- mained to remind the attendants that one of the most weird and unex- pected things had suddenly occurred.
 The effect of the klansmen's ap- pearance could be felt. Thousands of necks were creaned to get a glimpse of the mystical visitors, and the awed silence everyone sensed that the visit was unusual and without a precedent in Birmingham. Specula- ton was freely indulged by tho crowds, some holding to the belief that the klansmen merely wished to pay fitting tribute to the ex-soldier. others contendlng that the act was partly in the nature of protest agains conditions which permitted the tragedy of man dying in the street for lack of care.
 Dr. J. A. Bryan. Rev. Carl Henckcl and Rev. Oscar deWolf Randolph. le- zion chaplain, conducted the services at Johns chapel The chapel was crowded to suffocation. While the brief rites were conducted inside. out side on Fourth avenue military men were forming the huge procession.
 Boys Band Serves
 Led by the Boys Industrial school band, followed by service men in uni- form, then the .ex-soldiers wearing civilian clothes. behind which came the hearse and automobiles bearing woman's auxiliaries of the legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, Civil War veterans and disabled service men, with civilians bring up the rear, the cortege, pronounced the largest ever witnessed in Birmingham, marched out Twentieth street to Avenue F, past the Hillman hospital, where Fur ley was denied admission for lack of room, then out Avenue Fsto the cein- etery. From start to finish, the pro- cession seemed more in the nature of triumphant reception to a hero than a funeral. as the thousands of citizens lining the entire line of march stood with barred heads to pay respect to the unfortunate man who served his country. yet died In pow erty and destitution.
 Services at the cemetery were inn pressiye and included the full mili- tary ritual Rev. Carl Henckel was in charge of the religious service.

 Miami, Fla, January 1b.-At 7:ss tonight the flying boat New York, which left Miami for Blmini Friday afternoon with five persons aboard her, had been missing at sea for 62 hours and fleets of speed boats and seaplanes that have been combing the waters since yesterday afternoon had failed in their search. A stiff wind blew throughout the day and hopes for the rescue of the men were fast fading tonight.
 Practically tho only chance they will be found alive now Is believed to rest in the possibility that they have been picked up by some vessel that ir not equipped with wireless.
 On board the flying boat were M. F Kahn and H. c. Crenshaw of Mont gomery. Ala. and Clinton Leopold of Nazareth, Pa, passengers. and Pilot Culbertson and Mechanicisn Smith.
 Bimini, in tho British Bahamas, lies 10 miles due east of Miami. Regular trips requiring only an hours flight are made from hero. Tho plane, . naval HS-2 type, was chartered by the three men and sailed at s:3o Friday afternoon. It was scheduled to re- turn at 1o:So Saturday morning. As there Is no cable or other means Of communication from Bimini the loss of the plane was not known until an- other airship arrived at 4:a0 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the island with the word that the New York had never reached its destination.
 Two flying boats and a converted sub-chaser put out in search for the missing flying boat but up to late this evening no trace was found
 Efforts are being made to verify wireless report received here to- night from a British vessel to the et- feet that the missing flying boat. New York. has been found and that the passengers and crew are safe at Bimini Island. The British vessel re- ported it was relaying a message from Bimini and the report said that the three passengers and crew had been found near Isaao's light. Because the territory of the light had been thor oughly searched without results dur in.s yesterday, the report was re- ceived with doubt.

Agricultural Bloc
Reach Agreement

Washington, Jan. Disagreement
has been reached by leaders of the
Senate agricultural bloc on two al
ternatives designated to remove OBJ
jections held by President Harding
to legislation proposing a farmer rep
resentative on the federal reserve
board. These are expected to be
presented to the White House so
that the President may indicate his
preference which will become the ac-
cepted solution of the senators sup
porting the legislation.
The first of the two suggestions,
said to have been adopted after
series of informal conferences yester-
day and today between bloc leaders,
was that the proposed statute be
changed to give membership on the
board to representatives of the sew
eral phases of national industrial and
commercial effort. The second would
wipe out any specific designation as
to the makeup of the board which
now must include two members of
banking experience and leave the
representation to the authority
hold the appointing power.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Case of Becky" Based on Scien-
tific Facts

The Realart picture. 1.-THE Case of
Becky" which is at the Strand Thea
tire today is an adoption of the great
Edward Locke story which was
staged by David Belasco in New
York 1t was selected by Constance
Binney herself, she playing the role
of Dorothy Stone, the girl with a dual
personality.
The story, seemingly fantastic, is
true in many of it's details, having
been written from a scientific trea-
tise by Dr. Morton Prince. a Boston
psychologist. The plot concerns a
girl who is alternately controlled by
two personalities, one good and the
other evil. 1t is somewhat akin to
DIR. Jeklyy and Mr.. HYDE" but is
less weird and terrifying.
Hypnosis forms the scientific back
ground for the story and it is through
this science that the heroine is
brought back to her normal self.
