Mexico City Sees
Early Marriage as
Lindbergh Arrives
Suspects Honeymoon
Flight to U. S. Will
Follow Wedding.

| BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. February 25.-While
those who knew kept silent, those who
did not know wondered today if Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh and his fiancee,
Miss Anne Morrow, would not be mar
rled while he is in Mexico, and fly
back together to the United States.
Arrival of the tall, young aviator here
yesterday at sundown and his precipi-
tate departure for the Morrow country
home at Cuernavaca. set in motion a
veritable food of speculation.
Some said that Cuernavaca. set in
idyllic fashion in the mountains, 40
miles from Mexico City, having served
as the scene of the courtship of the
two. was to be also their wedding
place.
1t was even suggested that Col. Lind
bergh flew here in a four passenger
plane because he expected to have a
passenger" on his trip back, and
might, perhaps need some extra room
for additional baggage.
II there was no positive information
that such was the intention OF the be-
trothed pair, neither were there denials.
Col Lindbergh himself was more
than usually reticent as to his plans
in the less than an hour he spent here
last night.
officials at the United States embassy
carried reticence even further. Report
ers were refused admission to the build
ing andw ere told that Col. Lindbergh
was not there, although they had seen
him enter few moments before.
Message Greets Him.
A whispered message from his fiancee
awaited the aviator at Valbuena Field
when he landed, in lieu of the young
lady herself. She had left Saturday
with her mother, her sister Elizabeth,
and her father, Ambassador Morrow,
for Cuernavaca, unaware, it is believed,
that the weekend was to bring her
company.
A laconic telegram received from
Col Lindbergh at the embassy yester-
day morning announced he was leaving
Eagle Pass, Tex, and would arrive in
Mexico City in the afternoon. Arrival
at 653 pm t7:53 pm. Eastern stand
ard time) actually was much later than
was anticipated. 1t took the aviator
IL hours and 13 minutes to fly approx
imately TOO miles between Eagle Pass
and Valbuena Field. His tardiness had
given rise to some anxiety for his safety
when, just as the sun was sinking be-
hind the mountains to the west of the
field. his plane appeared and settled
deftly to the ground.
About so people crowded around him.
Reporters he waved away with the
words, Maybe I can see you later"
and again. Il have nothing to say"
Allan Dawson, third secretary of the
embassy. spoke with him for an in
slant, whispering few words in his
ear-presumably the message of Miss
Morrow. Col Lindbergh rolled down
his shirt sleeves, but on the coat to
his gray suit. donned gray fedora hat
with a black band and stepped from
his plane.
An embassy car whisked him to
Mexico City. newspaper men following

WGY WINS RULING
FOR NEW LICENSE
Radio Commission Reversed
in Case In volving Time
Limitation.

The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals today reversed the action of the
Federal Radio Commission and directed
the issuance to the General Electric Co.
of Schenectady, N. Y, of renewal at its
license to operate without time limita-
ton station WGY on 79O kilocycles
with the power of so kilowatts. The
costs of the appeals of the company and
of the people of the State of New York,
who joined it's request for full time
operation, were assessed against the
commission.
In an opinion by Chief Justice George
z. Martin, the court sustained the
power of Congress. under the commerce
clause of the Constitution. to provide
for the reasonable regulation of the use
and operation of radio stations in this
country and to establish the Federal
Radio Commission to give effect to that
authority. Regulations promulgated by
the commission, however, the court
held must be reasonable and "such as
to serve the public convenience, inter-
est and necessity"
On the question of the reasonable
ness of placing a time limitation on
station WGY requiring 1t to close down
at sunset on the Pacific Coast where
the same wave channel was granted to
station KGO at Oakland, Calf, Chief
Justice Martin says: 1T appears that
station WGY represents large invest
ment of capital, said to be 81 500. 900,
adventured In part during the pioneer
stages of broadcaSting, and that the
station has been one OF the most i'm
portant development stations in the
country; that through its enterprise
important and valuable apparatus has
been developed which has greatly ad-
vanced the art of broadcasting; that
it has been one of three stations recog-
nized in this country as development
brdoacasting stations. and that at
present it carries on great experimental
work of this character in the public
interest.
Large Population Affected.
"It also appears that within hum
dred miles of the station there is a
very large population, both urban and
rural, estimated to number more than
1000 900 persons, residing in the States
of New York, Massachusetts,, Vermont
and New Hampshire, who, in large part,
are dependent upon this station for re-
liable and regular broadcasting service;
and that if the station should be silenced
during the early hours of the evening
as determined by the commission. the
general public within this territory
would be seriously prejudiced. In view
of the service to the art heretofore
rendered by WGY and still continued by
it, with. the resulting advantage to the
public, and in view also of the public
convenience, interest and necessity of
so great constituency for full-time
operation, it appears that the restric-
ton complained of is not reasonable
and should not be enforced"
The General Electric Co., through
Attorney Frank j. Hogan, filed its ap-
peal and motion for an injunction
against the Federal Radio Commission

SENATE |SASKED
TO DENY WARE SEAT
Norris Unable to Be Present,
His Resolution Offered
by Robinson.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The case of Senator r-elect William S.
Ware of Pennsylvania was brought
directly before the Senate today by the
introduction of resolution, drafted by
Senator Norris of Nebraska, denying
Ware a seat in the Senate.
The Norris resolution was introduced
by Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic leader of the Senate, who
said that he offered the resolution be-
cause Senator Norris was unable to be
present because of other duties.
The presentation of the Norris reso-
luton gave the Ware case a new turn
in the Senate. 1t was presented by
Senator Robinson following a discussion
of the Ware case by Senator Reed of
Missouri, chairman of the investigator
committee which has dealt with the
charges of fraud and corruption in the
senatorial primary and election which
resulted in the election Of Mr.. Ware to
the Senate in 1926. Senator Reed said
that majority of his committee had
reached the conclusion that Mr. Ware
was not entitled to seat in the Senate
He said, however, that Mr. Ware was
seriously Ill. and that it had never been
his practice TO strike a man when he
was down. For that reason, he added
he did not intend to present a reSolu-
ton or seek final action on the Ware
case at this time. He said. however
that If the Senate decided to take up
the Ware case he would feel compelled
to support a resolution denying Ware
a seat
Senator Reed of PENNSYLVANIA WIN
has been a defender of Mr. Ware In the
Senate, praised Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,. for his attitude.
The heart of the Senator from Mis-
souri, is saving him In this instance as
well as his head" said Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Sena
tor insisted that at this moment Mr..
Ware is helplessly paralyzed. Whether
Senators believe him guilty of wrongdo-
ing or not, he said. he did not believe

EXPERTS TO TALK

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS. February 25,-The final draft
of the Stamp plan, evolved by the sub
committee of five headed by Sir Josiah
Stamp for reparations payments di-
vided into an unprotected portion and a
protected portion, was to be presented
to the reparations experts at the plenary
session today. giving the signal for the
experts to begin to talk annuities."
With this amplified report, originally
four pages long but probably enlarged
to six or eight pages, the commission
headed by Owen D. Young of the United
States entered the third week of its
labors-a week which promises to leave
nebulous preparations behind and get
down to fundamentals.
Reception of Report Important.
The contents and reception of the
Stamp subcommittee's recommended
tions relative to splitting the annuities
and maintaining partial transfer pro-
lection for Germany appear as Of the
utmost Importance in shaping the en-
tire future course of the negotiations.
The committee of five has worked
energetically at celebrating the details
of the chief items of the Stamp pro-
posal. 1t will shortly be apparent
whether there is a genuine possibility
that the Stamp scheme can be ac-
ceptable to the committee as a whole
as a suitable bridge" between the
German and allied anticipated demands
for annuities amounts.
There was evident last night a con-
siderable lack of enthusiasm over the
projected split annuity, not only among
the Germans but among some French
officials.
Counter Safeguard in Prospect.
1t is confidently expected that If the
Stamp draft is considered seriously, the
French will demand that some sort oil
preservation of the Dawes plans index
of prosperity be included In order tc
counterbalance the concession to the
Germans on the retention of partia
transfer protection. This has already
been clearly limited at in the French
press.
But the index of prosperity, in any

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, February 25.-
An unidentified prowler entered Jack
Dempsey's room here about m. today
the bullet going wide. Dempsey made
a report of the affair to police late this
morning.
Dempsey was sleeping with Floyd

lice, the former champion awakened

the man was his host, but Fitzsimmons
