Hotel Rooms in Capital Arc Reserved Until End of May by American Wis itors.

Mexico City, March f Rl-The thousands of American tourists who visited Mexico City for the inauguc Il Of President pascual Ortiz RubiJ furnished the high spot in the heaNY winter tourist trado here. which has been unparalleled to twenty years Of Mexican revolutionary history.

 Nearly every week excursions Of from fifty to two hundred visitors arrive from various parts Of the United States for visits varying from week to ten days Mexico City's largest hotel has been filled since November and all it's rooms are ru- served until the end of May.
 The railroads and tourist Con- mission are largely responsible for the increasing numbers of eXcur- sionists, but many more tourists are coming to Mexico in small groups, the result of personal sales talk given them by neighbors, friends or relatives who have made the trip.
 The tourist commission, still in the process of organization and without extensive funds for advertjs- ing, has confined it's efforts thus t7r u promoting goodwill and friendly understanding between MexiCaas and Americans, and to the guaraa- tee of safety to MeXico's visitors.

.MA|ETTA|S FREED
 IN CRASH HEARING
No Criminal Blame Attached to
 Driver il Collision

Andrew Maietta, 5l. of S4 Lafay- cite street, denied in police court to- day that he was reckless in his handling of an automobile which figured in an accident Sunday after noon at Maple and Ellis streets and Judge TraCeslli sustained him, en- tering q discharge with the remark that the case impressed him as one for the civil courts rather than po- Ice court.
 Sergeant r. A. McAvay testified that he and Officer W. <. Strolls ln- vestigated the accident shortly be- fore o'clock and learned that Maictta was driving north on Maple street and Robert Perry of &O7 Stanley street was driving cast on Ellis street. Marks on the road in- dicated that Maietta's car had gone - feet with the brake applied, but there was no testimony as to speed except that given by Perry, who came to the conclusion that a car, to strike with the force of Maietta S, must have been travelling too fast.
 Perry admitted that he did not see any car approaching the inter- section as he started to cross He put his car into low gear and was three quarters of the way across when he was struck. he said, while Maietta conteuded that he was driy- ing about ) or 70 miles an hour and expected Perry to make left turn or stop to allow him to pass When he saw there was to be an accident he pulled to the right but could not avoid il. Perry said his car was forced against a pole by the impact and Maiettl went about 100 feet before stopping. Maietta claim ed he went possibly 90 feet after the accident. He had his brakes repaired the day before the acci- dent.
 Perry denied that he tried to come to a settlement with lIaietta before calling the police, and Maiet- ta said Sergeant McAvay merely asked for his certificate of registra- tion and operators license and then told him to report at the police sta tion as he was under arrest. He was not present therefore when measurements were made by the po- lice.
 Attorney Leo Y. Gaffney, repre- senting Perry. contended that the charge had not been proven and he called the attention of the court that Perry admitted there were three oc- Cupants in the only seat in the coupe. Judge Traceski said he dis liked to give a motorist d record on such serious charge without better evidence than had been produced.

Angola and MetropoIe Bank Officials Issued Notes Without Authoriz- ation, Bank of Portugal Charges.

Lisbon, March 4. R}-After five years delay the alleged authors of what has been described as the greatest attempt ever made to debase nations currency. are to placed on trial here this month.
 The plot with which they are charged was uncovered in 1925 and the revelations caused the overthrow of the then Portuguese cabinet. Its qualifications spread into diplomatic channels, involving a South Ameri- can minister, and also resulting in suits and q. counter suit between the Bank of Portugal and the printing firm of which Sir William Watorlow, lord mayor ot London. is the head.
 Something like 5000. .00O unau- thorized Portuguese notes of the JQQ escudo denomination were put into circulation in 1925 but the queer part was that the notes were not commercials. They were simply un- authorized. The defendants. thcrc- fore, cannot be brought to trial Tor note forgery.
 Five Accused
 Alvcs Refs. who claims 10 be an engineer, and Antonio ISIndeira, for rner Portuguese minister at the Hague. and his brother Jose, togeth- CT with two Dutchmau named Mar anG and Heinnes, arc accused of be- ing the ringleaders of the affair.
 The alleged plot started with the establishment at great expense Ot the Bank of Angola anu Metropole" in Lisbon for which q special law vas passed by parliament. Stock of the bank was sold 60 proni,nrnt persons, who were made members of the board Of directors. X sumptuouS building was constructed near the Tagus and everybody connected with the bank appeared prosperous anG drew atrrntion to themselves by h. wish jeNclry. eS- ties and motor cars.
 The flood of notes which swamped the country passed unnotiCed until the cashier of the Bank of Portugal by chance recognized several num- bers of new bank notes of the Bank of Angola and Metropole" as identi- cal with some of the Bank of portu- gals notes. The directors of the bank were immediately placed under ar rest and the bank was closed.
 Inquiry disclosed that the notes were duplicates and the Bank of Portugal had to recall the entire is sue, exchanging the notes for anoth- CT issue.
 Government Quit
 The whole political and financial structure of the country rocked. The government of tho day. presided over by Antonio Maria Da Silva. resigned; the governor of the Bank of Portugal was dismissed and the Bank of Por- tugal was besicged by anxious people eager to change their old notes for new ones.
 When the situation was cleared up, it was found that the Bank of Portu- sal was $2.000,Q00 ''in the red" s. 100000 having been realized by sale Of the defunct banks property and the confiscation of the individual fortunes of it's directors.
 Refs withholds information as to how the notes were obtained. One thing is certain, however, they were Autographed and numbered by the London firm, headed by Sir William Naterlow, which for many years
