country involved to make such a talk
possible.
Mr.. Gordon gave a short INTRODUCTION

est body of folk songs OF any nation III

among the mountain folk OF Nofth

Gordon pointed out that the EngllSn

.MAUDLIN SYMP PATHIZERS
BOMBARD HICKMAN In
JAIL WITH MISSIVES

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IA R-Scores
of letters and packages are daily ar
irving at the Jail for William Edward
Hickman, slayer and kidnaper of Mar
rian Parker, it was reported by jail
attaches today.
Maudlin sympathy and sentimental
ity constitute the makeup of the ma
jority of the letters, while a portion OF
the missives are undoubtedly the work
of insane persons. For this season,
the jailers explain, every precaution
must be taken to watch for anything
of harmful nature which mentally
deficient persons might send to the
killer.
After being suddenly aroused from
sound sleep between midnight and 2
a. M, and abruptly examined by two OF
the states psychiatr1sts who, say jail
officials, believed they could thus as

awakened would act normally before

HAVANA, Jan. IA P-General Ge-
rardo Machado, president of the Gu
ban republic, declared today that it
was not within the province of the
Pan-American conference to assume
the role of tribunal to judge the
Nicaraguan problem or the general
policy of the United States with
respect to intervention in small states
as the congress has no such rights
It would be dangerous, he said, to
establish such a precedent.
Resolutions of an international
congress are without efficacy" he con-
tinued, "if they lack the support of
all the members. These are my
opinions, and they are based on the
instructions the Cuban delegation has
received.
''I desire to regard the Monroe doc
trine as representing the noble ac-
ton of president of the United
States who prevented the reconquest
of America at the time of the holy
alliance. The Monroe doctrine was,
and ought to remain, the common de-
fensive policy for the territorial in
tegrity of America, the Monroe doc
trine is not only compatible with the
sovereignty of America below the Rio
Grande, but it is document giving
the greatest force to that right"
Cuba's membership in the league
of nations, said the president, does
not Influence Cuba's adherence 20

that the conference would be able to
accomplish better understanding be-
tween the countries of America in the

WASHINGTON Jan. Ia (R)-Having

advantage of the inactivity of the
house and get down to serious work.
Accordingly, it passed 80 bills and

This activity may have been in
fluenced by the fact that the house
was in recess until Monday. How
ever, that body was kept in the news
of the day through the action of it's
naval committee in running down
counter to the administration de-
sires that no time limit be set for
the completion of the new naval
building program.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SPECIAL
TRAIN, en- route to Key West, Fla,
Jan. IA (P)--The American delegation
to the Pan-American congress in
Havana will seek firmly to establish
there a spirit Of good will in which
to solve common problems OF the
new world, free from all suspicion OF
aggressiveness and dictation.
1t was made clear tonight on the
special train carrying President Cool
idge to the congress that the Amer
ican delegation will stand squarely
on the policy which the Washington
government has protested for many
years, claiming no special privileges
and undesirouS of imposing any self
ish aims.
In addition it was stated author
itatively that the delegation, headed
by Charles Evans Hughes, is pre-
pared to face any repercussion from
the recent American policy in Mic
aragua, which involved sending OF
marines to that nation. The view
point of the Washington government
it was made known, will be presented
upon the double consideration that
the trouble in the Central American
republic denotes no quarrel with the
Nicaraguan government, and upon the
United States policy of encouraging
stable and constitutional regimes in
the Caribbean.
American obligations under the
1928 five power treaty, it was stated,
precluded indifferences on the part
of the United States to events in
Nicaragua. 1t will be Mr.. Hughes
attitude that this treaty, which binds
the signatory governments not to
recognize any administration which
came into power by coup d'etat
unless acted upon positively by the
Washington government, otherwise
would be virtually without weight.
Acting on the belief that the
attitude of the American delegation
should be neither one of aloofness
nor one OF aggressiveness, Mr.
Hughes and his associates are pre-
pared to fall in willingly with any
program the Cuban government may
! have arranged for the congress. 1t
was the expectation OF the American
delegation that the conference will
be harmonious and constructive and
/ free from local and partisan con-
siderations.

President Coolidge on the train, Mr.
Hughes expressed his good will toward
the Mexican people and declared that

solution of the questions at ISSUE
