Half of historic st. Peters Square,

First Time Frozen
Thousands of children went out
and instinctively began making
slides. None had skates, for there
had been no ice in their memory.
1t is not recorded that the square
ever was frozen over before.
The Pope stood in the windows of
his Vatican apartment overlooking
the square and enjoyed the shouts
Of the happy children. Cardinals

sistory halted their carriages and
automobiles and watched the fun.

NORRIS ATTACK
DRAWS HEATED
HEARST REPLY
No Proof Advanced That
Papers Are Forgeries,
He Declares.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-William
Randolph Hearst today, in a state
ment through the United Press, re-
piled to the charges made by
Senator George w: Norris yester-
day, in an open letter discussing
Hearts publication of alleged Mexi-
can documents.
Starting. his answer with the as
Sertion that lit is not necessary to
reply to Senator Norris hysterical
and vituperative statement in kind, "
Hearst defended his publishing of
the documents as the only policy he
could have adopted.
His, argument in defense of his
course hinged upon the contention
that, despite what has been said
about the documents, no one success
fully has demonstrated they were
forgeries.
Not DiSproyed, He Says
''The plain facts of this whole
Mexican matter" Hearst said. "are
that these Mexican documents are
apparently quite authentic and that
no proof whatever has been, pro-
duced of their lack of authenticity. ;"
Hearst then gave the history of
the papers, how they were obtained
and in commenting upon the trust
worthiness of his agent, MIGUEL
Avila, who obtained them for hifn9
included a letter Of recommendation
from Capt. John j. Gallagher, in
telligence officer in the United
States Army, under whom Avila
served.
Hits at Norris fte~
The publisher said that he held
the documents for five months after
he had obtained them, carefully
considering what was the best and
most considerate course to pursue
IF Senator Norris is anxious to
establish the truth" Hearst said,
''he might begin by telling the
truth"
