ADMITS HEARST
EXPOSE PAPERS
ARE FORGER|ES
Handwriting Experts Hold
Documents Are Spurious,
Senators Hear.
BY PAUL Il. MELLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Evidence
of international handwriting experts
that the Hearst Mexican documents
are forgeries was introduced before
the Senate investigating committee
today by John Deford, Hearst at
torney, and the committee imme-
diately set out to determine identity
of the forgerS.
Deford's sensational admission Of
the spurious character of "docu-
ments" published by newspapers
of William Randolph Hearst, some
of them purporting to show a Mex
lean plot to bride four United States
Senators came at the outset of to-
days hearing.
Later the committee put Miguel
Avila, Hearst's document procurer
under severe examination, develop
ing that he had taken citizenship
papers in Mexico, although he still
claimed American citizenship and
showing that he still believed the
documents might" be genuine.
Sheffield on Stand
Avila was told to hold himself
in readiness for further questioning
when the committee resumes Friday.
Other testimony of the day in
cluded:
Denial by James R. Sheffield,
former ambassador to Mexico that
any Mexican state papers, forged
or genuine, had been purchased by
the American embassy.
Statements from David E. Smiley,
and Robert Barry, newspaper men,
showing that John Page, Hearst
newspaper man involved in pro-
curing the Hearst documents had
sought in 1923 to sell them an
alleged letter" of Senator Robert
M. La Toilette Jr., to President
Gales, of Mexico. Smiley said the
letter was "preposterous," because
it was written on stationery of the
Senate foreign relations committee,
although La Toilette was not then a
member of the committee. The
letter purported to be statement
of La Toilette that Gales need not
fear United States intervention.
DecOurcey Denies Charge
A statement by Page that he pro-
cured the La Toilette letter" from
a Mexico City newspaper man whose
name he could not remember, al
though he could remember that the
man told him the original of the
letter could be obtained from the
files of the Mexican government for
consideration.
A denial by Joseph Decourcey,
former New York Times correspond
ent in Mexico City, of previous evil
dence against him and % relation
by him of evidence against his &C
cuser, Robert Murray, agent the
Bank Of Mexico and former New
York World correspondent in Mex
leo City. Decourcey charged that
Murray had obtained a position to
aid General Obregon in obtaining
United States recognition.

REBELS MUST
Be CONQUERED,
KELLOGG EDICT
Secretary Says He Is De-
termined to Bring Peace
in Nicaragua.

BH United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The
United States is determined to es-
tablish order in Nicaragua prepara-
tory to free elections, Secretary of
State Kellogg declared today as
1000 additional marines modified
for Nicaraguan service.
The State Department reiterated
that the native rebels a1der Gen
eral SANDING, who are opposing
United States Marine control, are
common bandits pillaging Mica
ragua.
The national council for preven-
ton of war protested to Kellogg
against use of Marines in Nicaragua
and asked that the coming Pan
American conference at Cuba out
law such intervention, but such
criticism will not change the KEEL
logg program, according to informed
circles.
Protect American Lives.
The secretary is understood to feel
that the intervention policy has
justified itself, since it brought to a
close the inter- party civil war in the
Central American republic.
United States marines went into
Nicaragua last spring during fight
ing between liberal forces of Juan
Sacasa and General Diaz. The lat
ter had American support. Protec-
ton of American lives and property
was given then, as now, as the rea-
son for dispatching Marines.
Col. Henry L. StinSon, sent to
NICARAGUA as President Coolidge's
envoy, arranged a truce accepted by
all factions except SANDING, former
liberal general, who kept his arms
despite the American promise of a
fair election this summer.
First reports minimized Sandino's
Importance, but he is now admitted
by the Government to be a strong
factor, and it is limited by the Gov
eminent that he is getting outside
aid.
Outside Aid Is Hinted
In a statement to the United
Press, Secretary of Navy Wilbur
said: 1--WE do not know definitely
that SANDING is receiving aid from
o5her sources. Reports to the de-
partment from the Marine brigade
commander in Nicaragua indicate,
however, that he is"
Wilbur said the department is in
vestigating the nature of such aid
more thoroughly, to ascertain where
SANDING is getting new supplies and
better trained men.
The department, Wilbur revealed,
had planned before the recent
Nicaraguan battles to send addi-
tional forces there. He said, how
ever, the recent fights were respon-
Sible for immediate orders for 1000
men to be sent to Nicaragua.

HOLT CHECK UPHELD
Treasurer Ordered to Pay
on Signature of Controller.

Superior Judge Joseph L. Minor
today inundated Marion County
Treasurer Clyde E. Robinson to
honor the signature of City Con-
troller Sterling r. Holt.
Robinson, who took office Monday
announced that he would not honor
Hollis signature on city pay roll and
teachers checks to be issued Jan. Is
This action was based on contention
that there may be some doubt re-
garding the legality of the election
of Mayor L. Ert Slack by city coun-
cilmen, which would affect his
power to appoint Holt.
Holt filed the mandamus suit In
Court Five. Ruling was made i'm
mediately. No objection was Of
fered by Robinson, who was repre-
sented by County Attorney Clinton
H. Givan. Holt was represented by

Minot friends Of Mr.. Nestos were in
Fargo yesterday.
Seldom has there been . more
cheerful candidate than Mr.. Nestos
But wherever this correspondent has
been in this trip in the eastern sec.
ton of the state it seems to be
indicated that Mr.. Nestos is being
traded wherever he can be, neglected
where he cannot be and that there
is little effort to rouse interest in
his behalf.
Perhaps it is too broad to say
that he is being traded, bat it GER
tainly is not too broad to say he
is being neglected. Senator Frazier
himself would be startled by some
of the Independent support being
vouchsafed him.
Perhaps thi: is a situation over
which the Independent leadership
has little control. Perhaps it is q
situation in this section Of the state
that has gotten out Of hand.
Yet the Independents are concern

Of their effort.

Of the campaign. That is that Mr..
