RESIDENT WILL
FOR CUBA
CONGRESS TODAY
Sc Persons Will Accompany
Mr.. Coolidge On Good
Will Mission

WASHINGTON, Jan IL (P)-Accom-
panied by a party of distinguished
Americans, President Coolidge will set
forth from Washington tomorrow for
Habana, Cuba, on a mission of good
will and international helpfdlness.
He goes there to make the opening
ing address of the sixth annual Pan
American congress, which will be at
tended by delegations from virtually
all of the countries of the western
hemisphere.
Regarded in this country and espe-
cially in Latin America as a diplo-
matte gesture to indicate the good
feeling of the United States for her
sister republicans of the new world,
the trip is the first to take Mr. Cool
idge outside of his country as presi-
dent and the fourth to carry an
American president to foreign shores.
On special train of Il cars and
with a party of Sc persons, the pres
ident will journey to Key West where
he will board the battleship Texas
for the crossing TO FIabana. Late
Saturday afternoon he will make his
only stop, at Miami, where he will
tour the city for an hour. The presi-
dent will be back at his desk Thurs
day morning.
The Habana trip will set new
record for presidential travel in that,
according to White House records, it
will be made by larger number of
persons than has ever accompanied a
president from Washington.
Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg and
Secretary and Mrs Wilbur will be
on the train by special invitation.
In addition, the president has in
vited members of the american dele
cation to the congress to accompany
him, and those who were not required
to proceed beforehand to Habana will
go along. These will include Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, Ambas-
sador and Mrs Henry P. Fletcher, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur of
California.

bra Cut and Gatun Dam.
All the people of Colon were
gathered either at France field
or along the streets when Lind
bergh arrived, and as he passed
along in his customary position
of honor in the provincial gov
ernOr's automobile, with marines
and soldiers as guards and band
playing, there were shouts of
"Viva Lindbergh.'
The Spirit Of st. Louis will be
thoroughly checked before the next
hOp-Off, the time of which has
not yet been definitely settled
and although, Colonel Lindbergh
has expressed a desire to meet
the French aviatOrs Costes and
LIE Brix, who are Fastening their
flight to Panama, it is question
able whether he will remain here
long enough to exchange felici-
tatiOns with them. If he goes
direct to Caracas, he will cover
approximately 900 miles, provided
he keeps on a straight course.
1t is likely he will cross the
Gulf of Darien in the southern
portion, or will follow the coast
line of Panama down to the
Columbian border.

His farewell to President Chiari

assistance. Neither had been given
any opiate or stimulant of any sort.
AS each sat in the chair priest for
Mrs. Snyder and a minister for Gray,
murmured prayers.
The execution was carried through
without the slightest hitch. Just
before IL o'clock Warden Lawes called
the offfciai ss1trlessesa four doctors

This is a large bright room about
so feet. square with four doors, four
short benches for witnesses and the
chair.
There are no other furnishings.
The plaster walls are a light cream
and the floor stone. It is room
giving no impression OF sadness but
for the central chair with its straps
and metal.
Besides the official witnesses seven
doctors, half dozen guards, the
eXecutioner and his assistants and
the warden were the only ones in
the room.
After all had. entered and scarcely
before the witnesses had seated them
selves or found standing room along
the walls, Mrs Snyder was brought in.
She entered through door behind
the chair over which a large sign
bearing the one word silence" was
fastened
At first her utterances were in
comprehensive beyond the fact that
she was calling on the deity.
"Have mercy on my SOUL" were
the first words plainly distinguishable.
AS she was strapped in the chair
by four guards the matrons stood
between her and the witnesses. AS
the prison priests murrnured prayers
She was asked If she had any last
word
Then suddenly she seemed to
realize to the full ir1minence OF death
and nIllIed herself Sharnlv erect Her
voice came in shrill treble and her
hands clenched in tense emotion.
