PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Feb.
IA country, some of whose ma

and practice them, today paid the
greatest honor to Americas Lone
Eagle"-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
The flying ambassador of good
will circle to Haiti from Santo Do
mingo yesterday and dropped to a
perfect landing, as crowd,
estimated at 100000 people, waited
to see just what sort of person this
young aeronaut could be.
In fewer minutes than it takes to
tell the story, Lindbergh had won
the hearts of the great throng-
many Of whom were the inland ma
tives, who believe in the voodoo
cultures. He had taken more time
than necessary to complete the 100
miles from San Domingo, because
he flew slowly and took an out of
the way route.
But he arrived when he said he
would arrive, and found a
CunIuCuOuS celeDraClOn awaiting.
Marines Greet Filler
Marines from the United States
were at the field to watch over and
to greet their compatriot. Officials
were there. And there were resi-
dents by the thousands.
AS Lindbergh climbed from his
plane he looked apprehenSively at
the crowd surging towards the
Spirit of st. Louis, smiled the smile
that has made him famous in the
remotest parts of Central America,
Europe and the United States, and
then greeted the United States COM
missioner.
He was in an open motor car in
the procession to the city proper
and along the entire route there
were vociferous cheers. He smiled
at the throng, told officials he was
mighty glad to be here, and then
began planning for the last leg of
his goodwill flight.
Havana Is Terminus

Havana, the terminus of the long
tour, where he will be greeted not
only by thousands of Cubans, but
probably by representatives of twen-
ty-one nations who are there at
tempting to work out a greater
cordiality through many of the
countries Lindbergh just has visited.
Haiti gave and will give Lindbergh
the greatest honors it can do. A
special postage stamp bearing Lind
bergh's portrait will be issued. The
principal avenue leading through
the city will be named The Avenue
Charles Lindbergh.
The order of merit, never before
given to a white man, will be pre-
sented to him by President Borno.
The latter award is the highest
honor that Haiti can bestow.
Today the American flier was to
be the guest at several functions in
his honor.

HOOSIER MAY
SOUND KEYNOTE
OF DEMOCRATS
State Party Leaders Are
Reluctant for Bowers to
Ask Smith Nomination.

Indiana Democratic leaders would
be happy to see Claude G. Bowers,
former Indiana newspaper man,
now editorial writer for the New
York Evening World, chosen as the
keynote speaker for the Democratic
national convention, but they have
no desire for Bowers eloquence to
be devoted to voicing the presiden-
tial nomination of Governor Al
Smith of New York, they indicated
today.
This reluctance Is for the reason
that HooSier Democrats are to line
up solidly behind Evans Woollen,
favorite son. Because Of Bowers
long prominence in Democratic cir
Giles of the State while editorial
writer for the Terre Haute Star and
the FIT. Wayne Journal Gazette, he
still Is regarded as a Hoosier.
Assured of Big Role
If Bowers cracks the whip to start
Al Smiths race in the convention,
it will be to the dismay of his
Democratic friends in Indiana, they
admit.
The editors speech at the Jack
sen day dinner in Washington won
Bowers the prominence that makes
him alluring to Smiths supporters
and assures him of prominent
role in oratorical activities at Hous-
ton.
Bowers friends here were sur
prised that Smiths supporters were
so ambitious as to hope the editor
would nominate the New Yorker at
the convention, as dispatches today
indicated.
Mention Davis AS Chairman
When national Democratic leaders
we're in Washington for the Jack
son Day banquet the names of
James E. Cox of Ohio, the party's
nominee for President in 1920, and
John w. Davis, of New York, the
nominee in 1924, were being men,
toned for the temporary and
permanent Craftsmanship at the ma
tional convention.
Speculation on Cox diminished
when he recently Endorsed Smiths
candidacy.
Davis has not voiced an opinion
on the presidential race and is re-
garded in a strong position for one
of the convention chairmanships.
