HOOVER FIRST
TO GREET CAL
Expects To Be Told of
Political Affairs
Through West

AENWNANAEW LIVES I&0AA
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-R1-
Anxious to be among the first 70
welcome President Coolidge back 70
Washington after his summer In
Wisconsin, Herbert Hoover was at
Union station today for the arrival
Of the chief executives special train.
With DR.. Hubert Work, chairman
Of the republican national commit
tee. who also served in Mr.. Cool
idge'S cabinet, the nominee was pre-
pared to supply the president with
informatio. as to the general polit-
ical situation. in addition he looked
to the president for reports on con-
ditions in Wisconsin and Minnesota,
which Er. Coolidge has had oppor-
tunity to study at first hand.
Aside from today's meeting, Hoo
yer has been with the president but
once since his nomination at Kansas
City. That was nearly two months
ago when he visited the summer
White House on his way to Califor-
ma TO receive official notification
of his selection by the republican
party to head its national ticket.
Hoover's opinion that the general
outlook for the republican ticket in
November is satisfactory has been
strengthened by what he regards MS
the rather astounding republican
majority rolled up in the state elsc-
ton in Maine. He had looked for
something above the usual majority
Of 10000 but had no idea that IL
would turn 10 twice that figure.
After leaving the president, Hoov-
er expected to 90 to his general
headquarters for another round Of
conferences with party leaders and
others. A delegation from the wom-
ems party headed BY Alice Paul, urg-
ing him 20 support an equal rights
amendment TO the constitution, oc-
cupied . prominent place on his list
Of callers.

Jardine Plans To
Support Hoover
By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Jardine will
support Herbert Hoover for the Re-
publican presidential nomination, it
was learned authoritatively today.
Jardine was represented as be-
lieving Hoover would$make a fine
president and would be greatly in
terested in problems of the farmers.
Jardine, it was explained, is in a
delicate position because Senator
Curtis is the favorite son of Kansas
Jardine s home state.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
already advised Curtis that he is
for Hoover and believes that Kansas
sentiment will be for Hoover after
expressing its "favorite son
choice for Curtis.
Jardine, it was indicated, may
take an active part in Hoover s
campaign should the race become in
teresting.
His friends say he believes, after
working with Hoover in the cabinet
for several years that the secretary
of commerce is one of the most capa-
bic men in America with deep inter
est in farming as in all other of
the nation great industries.

aroused by a mighty roar. Water
spouted high in the harbor. Where
the lights danced merrily over the
waves a minute before was foam
flecked wrcckage and high, fast
pulsing ripples.
Where the outline of the battle
ship stood was nothing but shatter-
ed masts. The silence was broken
by shieks. Two hundred and sixty
American sailors were drowned.
There in the shadow of Moro
Castle, in the Havana harbor, 80
years ago, on February Is, 1898, the
battleship Maine was blown up, re-
sulting in a war with Spain and the
liberation of Cuba.
Today President Machado will
lead in the memorial services in the
newly completed Maine memorial
park. Cubans and Americans alike
will gather to pay tribute to q
common historical tradition ana

to attend, paying double tribute
of respect to Cuba and friendliness
to the United States.

Courtland yesterday afternoon, es-
Gaping with approximately $4,000
apparently had made good their es-
cape today and sheriff's posses were
called in this morning after an all
night search.
The theory that friends of the
six Folsom prison convicts on trial
for murder in Sacramento had stag
ed the holdup to gain funds for
carrying on the legal fight for them
was given little credence in police
circles.
Two of the bandits entered the
bank late yesterday afternoon while
third remained in an automobile
outside. They held up the cashier
Harvey Warren and two girl book
keepers, Doris Fisher and Margaret
Weidemann, locking Warren and
Miss Weidemann in the vault.
This was the third time the bank

LINDBERCH NOT
READY TO QUIT
AIR ACTIVITIES
"Lone Eagle" Discounts
Dangers of Flying To
Anxious Friends.
By FOSTER EATON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. Is. - A
quiet controversy smouldered here
today between the pioneering spirit
of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and
those who seek to curtail his future
flying activities.
"There must be pioneers to show
the way" the clone Eagle" CON-
mented when told that q wing clip
ping movement was afoot in high
government circles, based on fear
for his personal safety in trail blaz-
ing flights.
There was a trace of an indica-
ton that Lindbergh felt "the OPP
positiono did not understand; there
also was clear indication that he
did not consider his recent good will
tours in the category of stunts. -
The controversy, which broke up
on aviation circles here yesterday
with the statement of Secretary of
War Dwight F. Davis opposing
"iungle flights" rapidly found echo
in congress where members talked
of passing a resolution requesting
Lindbergh to avoid hazardous fly
ing.
Flying Not Dangerous
"I have no comment to make un-
til I hear personally from Secretary
Davis" Lindbergh replied to an
inquiry late yesterday following his
return from a three hour welcome
home flight over the city of St
Louis.
He was pressed for more point
ed answer and finally said:
81 do not consider the flying l
have done recently in the nature
of 'stunt flying!' but rather as
carefully planned ventures.
"I may do some more experiment.
al flying later but as whole /
do not consider aviation in the ex'
perimental stage. There must be
pioneers to show the way when new
methods of transportation are com
ing into use and pioneering has its
hazards.
"'But it has been my observation
that those who do the pioneering
are the last to think of the dan
ger"
1t was obvious that the quiet, ret
icent youth who has risen in less
than year to position of world
prominence by his skill in daring
flight, much rather preferred tC
speak of other things.

REGULARS
TO FIGHT
HOO T R
"Old Guard" Senator's
To Join With Indepen-
dent Farm Group. 5
OVERTURES NJ A E
Leaders Seek to Form
Coalition to Dominate
Convention.
By PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
dominant Republican party group ia
the United States senate is ncgo.
tiating privately with the mid
western Independent farm group to
solidify opposition to the candidacy
Of Secretary OF Commerce Hoover
for the presidential nomination.
An appointed Republican leader
went to leader of the Independent
group after Hoover's candidacy
was announced Sunday night, the
United Press learned today.
He received the following assur-
ances from the farm lieutenant:
1.-The farm group members
strongly oppose Hoover and even
would prefer President Coolidge
whom they do not favor especially
for denomination, because OF
their feeling that Hoover chiefly is
responsible for the presidents at
titude against the McNary Haugen
bill, and because of Hoover's acti-
vities as food administrator during
the war.
2-If Hoover should be nominat-
ed against a Democratic candidate
who favored farm relief, the farm
group would begin agitation for a
diversion from the Republican cam
didate.
3.-The farm group is planning a
more active movement for Senator
Norris of Nebraska in the next few
weeks, with an idea of building up
strength for him in the convention.
In answer, the Republican leader
declared that his group would work
for an advocate of the McNary-
Haugen price stabilization farm
bill and that he believed the two
factions of the party which always
have been divergent, might united
on a candidate.
Just how far these maneuvers cam
and will be carried remains to be
seen. The senate group now nego-
tiating has never been extremely
friendly to President Coolidge, al
though its members never opposed
| him openly. Some of them have
openly opposed Hoover, while 9TH
ers are working for "favorite sons"
and still others are seeking unin-
structed delegations.
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 15.-Seek-
ing refuge from political discus
sions, Secretary of Commerce Her
bert Hoover arrived here today for
week of fishing.
Hoover, who has announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for president, denied that he
will wage an active campaign.
