Augmenting in a voluminous fash.
ion the already tremendous welcome
which was accorded Col. Lindbergh by
the citizens of Washington. thousands
of persons of all stations of life
throughout the United States and even
in far-distant spots in Canada yester.
day flashed their personal congratula.
tons to him here by telegraphic com.
munication.
| When the day was over, reports by
officials of the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph companies showed
that the mass of laudatory messages
delivered to the flyer came to a total
of more than $500 separate tele.
grams.
| And Mrs. Lindbergh mother of the
Viking airnan, was also remembered
in no small way, with more than 1900
messages of appreciation sent directly
to her here

many of which he hopes eventually to
answer. Many of the kilograms which
| flooded to meet him here yesterday
were from chambers of commerce,
clubs and civic organizations asking
| permission to make "Lindy" an hon.
orary member Of their organiza tons.
While the messages sent via the
Postal Telegraph were delivered d.
rectly to the temporary White House,
where Col. Lindbergh and his mother
are house guests during their short
stay here, the Western Union packed
the kilograms they had received for
him yesterday morning into a bus
and hastened with them to the Navy
Yard yesterday noon.
Await for Cruiser.
When the u. 8. s. Memphis was
warped into the dock shortly before
II o'clock, representative of the
company boarded her to inform Col.
Lindbergh of the host of congratula-
tons that awaited him and his moth
er. Ten picked messengers of the
company at the moment were wait.
ing to carry the kilograms to the
cruiser.
1t was decided, however, that the
messages should be taken to the tenn.
porary White House and the loaded
bus fell in the line of parade then
forming. and, with the United States
mail trucks, continued with the Lind
bergh escort up Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Actual delivery of the messages
was accomplished at the Dupont Cir.
Gle residence where the Lindberghs
are guests of President and Mrs. Cool
idge.
Among the kilograms was one con-
tanning 1880 signatures from Min,
neapolis. This huge telegram, which
was received here over special direct
wires on continuous rolls of paper,
was $40 feet long.
Contains 1900 Signatures.
Another unusual message, from
the Frisco Lines Club, contained 1000
signatures, and still another, from st.
Louis, where Col. Lindbergh Is to be
feted next Sunday, contained $50
names.
AS has been the case since the first
flood of congratulatory messages
were filed, the dominant tone of the
kilograms was praise for the modesty
and good sense of the young flyer in
the face Of adulation. The religious
note was next in evidence in the mes.
sages, thousands of persons inform
ing Lindhergh that they had prayed
long and fervently for his safety and
success.
