Emilio Porter Gil. secretary of in- terior. will become provisional pres. tdent of Mexico December 1. His election by deputies and senators. meeting in joint session last night. was unanimous.
 Portcs Gil. supporter of prohi- bition, is one of the few civilians to become chief executive of Mexico. It ts regarded as significant that he has virtually been assured the support of tho biz military figures who met with President Gales after Gales had renounced the presidency and pledged their support to tho choice of congress.
 Portes Gil will serve from the time Gales term expires until February 5. 1880. when . president chosen in . general election on the third Sun day of November. 1929. will succeed him.
 The assassination of General AL varo Obregon. elected as successor ts Callss, will not mark tho end of the program which he mapped out in his campaign. Portes Gil having an- nounced after his election that he would carry this out.
 My policy will be inspired by the highest principles of social equity and ,ustice," Portes Gil said in . statement after his election.
 My task will be to continue the policies developed by President Gales in all branches of public ad- ministration and also to procure the fulfillment of the social program outlined by the late General Obre- gon."
 Wants Fair Elections
 He added that he would work for fair democratic general elections He was working at his desk in the department of interior while con- gress was selecting him to head the republic.
 Only one name appeared on the ballots, which were slips of paper in the Mexican national colors-that Of Portes Gil. Any member who de sired to vote against him might scratch the name and write an- other. When the vote of the 277 senators and deputies was counted, there was not single ballot mark cd against the secretary of interior.
 Portes Gil was called to the pres idency after a distinguished career as a lawyer and administrator. He is a stocky man with sturdy frame and strong face. He is con- sidered to be unusually we'll versed in the law. The nearest he ever came to a military life was when he was an Attorney in the legal section of the war department. At that time Obregon was secretary of war.
 Portes Gil was born at Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, on October 50. 1891. He served as a judge in the state of Sonora and was elected q deputy four times.

 The republican leader was way. laid yesterday by dozen newspaper correspondents as he descended the stairway leading to Herbert Hoover's private office. The reporters i'm mediately laid down heavy bar rage of questions as to Mrs. Willie b'andt's campaign status.
 Mrs. Willebrandt has been round ly criticized by democratic leaders. including Governor Smith himself. for an address before the Ohio con. ference of the Methodist Episcopal church in which she asked that Smith be defeated on the prohibition Issue and declared that the clergy men present with their church mem- bers could swing the election.
 Dr. Work told the reporters he was unfamiliar with her exact posi-. ton in the republican campaign. He said she is department of justice official and "a sort of free lance."

tween Mexico City and the United
States and moving the southwest, Chi

sands of indignation letters and tele-
grams, protesting the possibility OF
William E. Hickman obtaining short
term in an insane asylum and prob
able subsequent release, have been re-
ceived by the district attorneys office
Forrest Murray, deputy district at
torney, said today that the flood OF
protests was the greatest in the history
of the office He pointed out that it
was the first instance in which such
appeals for protective action had been
made by such large number of per-
sons prominent in all walks of life
They came, he said, from business men
and women, actors, nationally known
singers and professional men whose
names are familiar to the public
Murray declared the letters and wires
apparently were in response to publi-
cation of information indicating the
killer of little Marian Parker might
through the clause, "by reason of in
sanity" given with his plea, be sent
to an asylum from which he might es-
cape or obtain a release.
"The bitterest letters are from
women" Murray said MANY urge
everything possible be done to assure
the community that Hickman will not
be free to prey upon it again after a
few years in an asylum"

his complete cooperation, saying: ut
seems to me this will be very worth
while undertaking; one filled with the
finest possibilities There is wonder
full supply of material for such mag
azine and believe the publication of
this material in this form would find
many more readers than were it pub
lished in book FORM"
President Byron Cummings, of the
University of Arizona, writes: I'VE
heartily agree with you as to the de-
STABILITY of publishing an Arizona
Historical Review quarterly. It will not
only be valuable contribution to Ari-
zona's historical records, but will also
serve great need in furnishing in
formation regarding Arizona and the
southwest to our winter tourists. Any
aid that we can give to make the
movement go forward successfully we
shall be glad to render"
With such encouragement and as
Surance of a vast amount of material
to make interesting the pages of the
magazine the state historian is dis
playing considerable enthusiasm oyer
this addition to his historical program
While the expense of publishing the
first issues of the Historical Review
will be borne by the state it is eX-
pected that the Review will soon be-
come self sustaining and to accom-
plish this subscriptions will be solicited

, of the experts reports.
The handwriting experts employed
by Mr.. Hearst at the request OF the
committee were Jay Fordyce Wood,
of Chicago; Eldridge W., Stein, New
,, York, and a Baltimore man named
N1aloney.
Stein and Wood described the sig
natures of President Gales of Mexico
finance, appearing in the documents
as ''ungenuine." There also was
evidence, each reported, that the same
typewriting operator wrote the docu-
ments, including certain papers pur-
porting to originate in entirely diff
ferent departments.
"The purported signatures OF Presi-
dent Gales on each and all of these
letters are undoubtedly spurious"
Wood declared in his report.
All of the experts gave long de-
tailed explanations as proof of the
spurious nature of the documents and
each offered to present more detailed
data ii it was thought necessary.
However, meeting behind closed
doors was called for tomorrow and
another open hearing was planned
for Friday, at which the committee
hoped to burrow to the bottom of
the documents source. There were
indications also that new witnesses
would be summoned and that the
correspondence passing between Page

Avila was notified to be present

SMITH OUTLINES
HIS POLICIES TO
NY. LEGISLATURE

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 4, R)-In
SO printed pages, totalling more
than 10000 words, Governor Alfred
E. Smith today laid before the legis-
lature-and, incidentally at least, be-
fore the country summary of his
political platform BY many of his
friends and opponents it was accept
ed as a fairly complete exposition of
the platform upon which he might
be considered candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination.
Among points he covered which
might be deemed to have national
scope, Governor Smith urged state
development and control of public
water power sites; restoration of the
direct primary; extension of basic
home rule laws to towns and villages
and control by municipalities of pub
lie utilities within their jurisdiction.
With reference to the broad ques-
tion of prohibition, the governor
urged adoption of an amendment to
the state constitution to provide that
no amendment to the federal con-
Stitution be ratified by future legisla-
lures until it had been approved by
a referendum. The message also
contained declaration for strict OBJ
servance and enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws. No legislation affect
ing prohibition was suggested.
The message was so long that, at
the governors. suggestion, the clerks
limited their reading of it to the in
troductory paragraphs and the sum-
mary of the 90 specific recommended
tions. Every member was supplied
with printed copy of the message.
Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier,
New York, democrat, known as the
"wet crusader" enlivened the open
ing session of the lower house by
introducing a resolution demanding
that legislative agents and 're-
formers" be not allowed in the as
sembly chamber unless they had COM
piled with the law requiring registra-
tion with the secretary of state.
Most of the governors 90 recon-
mendations for legislation were re-
petitions of policies which have been
advocated by him for several years,
and which have repeatedly been de-
feated by the Republican majorities
in the legislature. Besides those men
toned they included requests for
abolition of the motion picture cen
sorship, four year term for governor
with gubernatorial elections between
presidential elections; and biennial
sessions of the legislature.
