PRESIDENT CALLES
: VISITS EMBASSY
Sets Precedent of Amity by
Calling to Chat With
Lindbergh.
■
j By the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY. December 17.
President Cal!os today called at the
j American embassy for a chat with
' Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Am
bassadot' Morrow.
The President’s call at the embassy
1 was the second he had made there.
> The first was on the night before
| Lindbergh's arrival when Calles and
| members of the cabinet were dinner
| guests of Atnlvtssador Morrow. After
I the dinner the President stayed up
| most of the night receiving Associated
i Press bulletins of Lindbergh's prog
ress.
Today Senor Calles not only es
! corted the flyer and American Am
bassador to the school children's fete,
but brought them back to the embassy
and remained there for a while to chat
with them and Mrs. Morrow.
Seen as Mark of Amity.
Observers here comment that noth
ing indicates more vividly the altered
I spirit prevailing in the Mexican capi
tal toward the United States than the
j fact that a President who never before |
has been near the United States cm- ,
I i,assy now is so attentive to the Ameri
' cans. It is also recalled that it has ;
! only been a brief time since the j
! President enjoyed a ham-and egg
I breakfast with the new Ambassador j
; to Mexico and took him on a presi-1
! dential inspection through the north- j
I ern portion of the republic. |
' Col. Lindbergh will attend a hull j
I fight tomorrow —but in his personal {
! capacity, so far as that is possible, j
I His acceptance of the invitation is
j considered separate and apart from
the official program of his reception.
■ Lindbergh has received numerous pro
j tests from humane societies in the
United States over his visit to the
: hull ring, hut Mr, Morrow has de-
I termined it is the flyer s “personal
affair” and the young sky scout main
tains lie has no right to offend his
hosts liy discriminating against their
favorite sport.
Between 6,000 and 10,000 school |
children were called hack from their
Christmas holidays and participated in
: the fete at the Mexico City stadium,
j More than 50.000 persons attended.
The day was proclaimed a holiday,
the second so proclaimed officially
since his arrival.
Toluca Sends Invitation.
Between 400 and 500 Mexican cities
and towns have sent telegrams to the
popular idol asking him to visit them.
It is doubtful, however, if Lindbergh
will go elsewhere than the capital
while he is in Mexico, although
Toluca, the town he sighted from the
air thereby learning his location when
lost near Mexico City, is especially
urgent in its invitation.
There is some discussion as to
whether the Christmas dinner Am
bassador Morrow is planning for the
aviator and his mother will be a
private affair or a large informal pub
lic function.
Workers lo Parade.
The swelling wave of popularity
will reach a crest tomorrow, with a
parade of 80,000 or more, possibly
150,000, workers in honor of the
flyer, and with his attendance at a
“charro" or lassoing and riding ex
hibition," and with his possible at
tendance at a bull fight.
The parade, scheduled for noon to
morrow, was arranged by the Mexi
can Regional Federation of Labor,
the foremost labor organization of
Mexico, to demonstrate the admira
tion and affection of Mexican work
ing men for the flyer. He is expected
to review the parade with President
I Calles and Ambassador Morrow from
! a halcony at the National Palace.
I The eharro exhibition also was ar
• ranged especially in honor of Lind
! !>ergh by the National Association of
j Charros in order that he may see a
| display of skill by the best horsemen
and lasso throwers in Mexico.
The humorist. Will Rogers, whose
guest room at the embassy was pre
empted by the aviator, has decided
that there is more to this business of
flving than he believed before he came
to Mexico. The humorist came to
Mexico by rail but he is planning to
leave by air tomorrow.
Rogers plans to go to Tampico in
one of the regular commercial planes
operating to the coast. He will fly
from there to Brownsville, Tex., and
thence to Laredo. He may go to San
j Antonio next, but at any rate intends
j to reach his home town of Los An
: geles in time for Christmas.

Thousands of Gifts Stored in

Dozen Shirts.
Spei'ial Dispatch to Tlip Star.
BT. LOUIS, Mo., December IT. —If
| Col. Charles A. Lindbergh ever de- |
| cide-i to go to housekeeping he need j
I have no worries over a preliminary •
i shopping tour to furnish his bunga- j
low, or his apartment, or his conn- j
try home, whichever it may be. His i
problems can be solved simply by di- j
recting the St. Louis bank which acts |
as his agent, and the Missouri His- I
torical Society, which functions as a ]
custodian for him. to deliver the
thousands upon thousands of articles I
that have been presented to him by j
the host of his admirers in all parts j
of the world following his historic I
(light from New York to Pans last j
May.
It is probable that few men in all j
time ha,ve received as many medals, j
trophies and decorations as have |
I been awarded for intrepid transat- j
j lantie aviator. It is certain that no j
! individual has ever received such a
wide variety of tokens, any one of j
which would he coveted by a king, j
From every walk in life have come :
the tributes —the Congressional Medal j
of Honor and the Distinguished Fly- !
ing Cross of his own United States, \
the French Legion of Honor, the j
British Distinguished Flying Cross,
the Belgian Order of Leopold being
placed alongside the worn gold
watch pressed into his hand by an
anonymous Frenchwoman who mere
ly said it was "from a mother.” |
Every Sort of Gift.
The gifts range in value from a !
twist of chewing tobacco to diamond
studded medallions from various
American and European cities that
have welcomed «him. Two silver
spheres, the handiwork of famous
artisans in 1700 and valued at $14,000,
are in the same case with the giant
spool of California redwood around
which has been wound the petition
signed by 100,000 school children of
San Francisco requesting the flyer to
visit them some day.
There are medals and plaques in
gold, silver and bronze sufficient to
cover the walls of a good-sized room.
There are trunks full of wearing ap
parel and life membership cards of
solid gold In exclusive clubs and so-.
cieties all over the w r orld. There are
loving cups punch bowls, illuminated
volumes of poetry inspired by his dar
ing and scores of replicas of the
Spirit of St. Louis in almost everj
conceivable material.
Louis Bleriot, the Frenchman who j
first crossed the English Channel in
an airplane, sent him a piece of the j
propeller of the ship used in that !
i night. Beside it is a portyjn of the j
I exhaust pipe of the plane that first i
I Hew upside down under the guidance
| of the French ace Pegoud, who later |
lost, his life.
And They Still Flow In.
And gifts are still coming in. Only .
a few days ago the Missouri Histori- :
cal Society received'l4 large boxes ]
from the colonel's agents in New
York. They will not be unpacked
until after the holidays, when they
will be added to the exhibit of las
trophies here, which already has at
tracted more than 500,000 visitors.
The insured value of the boxes was
$5O 000, which indicates that there are
stili persons who believe that substan
tial rewards are the best way to show
appreciation of a feat well performed.
Col. Lindbergh had not left Paris
alter his memorable reception there
when the matter of his gifts became a
problem that engaged the attention ol
the American embassy. In addition i
to the much-prized French Legion ot j
Honor decoration and the dozen and j
! more other medals and decorations |
'awarded him by French societies, j
; there came bulkier tokens of affection,
i The colonel, who was not at all in- j
tercsted in such things, merely asked j
that they be crated and shipped home. |
Belgium added its quota of presents
and England did the same, as witness
the fact that he received not one
key but two to the City of London.
Homeward bound on the cruisei
Memphis a considerable part of the
vessel's cargo consisted of the Lind
bergh mementos, whieh were sent
almost immediately to S'. Louis foi j
such disposition as Col. Lindbergh !
lpight later direct.
Meanwhile, generous and apprecia- |
live Americans had obtained the home |
address of the youthful flyer. Upon
his arrival here he was advised that
a vault in a local bank was inadequate
t„ hold their gifts. Sensing that there
was an educational value in many of
the tokens, he requested the Missouri
Historical Society to take charge of
all medals, decorations and trophies,
together with such gifts as in appear
ance were commemorative of his
(light or of aviation in general. The
huge volume of gifts of a persona'
nature, such as 100 dozen shirts and i
sr> suits of silk pajamas, he ordered j
j stored elsewhere, awaiting such time ]
■as he should have use for them. j
A Museum in Themselves.
I The Missouri Historical Society is !
. ! well equipped to act as custodian of I
il l tie glittering array of trophies. Its]
Jefferson Memorial Building in Forest
Park, erected several years ago t<
house the vast array of relics collected
! bv the society, offered attractive exhi
> ] bition space. So, on its first floor two
- * glass-inclosed cases were placed con
taining the most interesting tokens.

pair of boxing gloves made of gold
cloth.
In adjoining cases there are the many
hundreds of engraved resolutions
passed by as many city councils, the ]
numerous documents relating to the
flight, and in a special case is one of j
J the most precious tokens of all, the
j khaki flying suit which the colonel
| wore on his overseas jump. On the
| collar is inscribed 'in his own hand- j
writing:
"San Diego-St. Louis; St. Louis-

"CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.”
Enumerating a few r of the most
| important articles in the cases, one :
I finds the United States Distinguished ;
I Flying Cross, which was conferred |
; on Col. Lindbergh by President Cool- ]
idge, the first such cross ever pre
! sented. There is the Air Force Cross
of Great Britain and the cross of the !
French Legion of Honor.
In addition to the Legion Cross con
ferred on him by the French govern
ment, the colonel has one in minis- j
ture which, according to Mrs. 11. T. ;
Beauregard, curator of the society, l
who showed the exhibit to him during i
his recent visit in St. Louis, is the I
decoration he prizes most.
Jt was presented to him in Paris by
Gen. L’Hopital, one of Marshal Foch’s j
aides, who took it from his own coat j
and with appropriate gesture pinned >
it on Lindberg’s lapel. Its ribbon is j
! worn and soiled and the cross itself j
! has lost its newness, but that very
| fact testified to the sincerity of the ;
I giver and for that reason made it a
i treasure prized above all others.
] Most elaborate of the decorations is \
| the Belgian Order of Leopold, con j
: ferred by King Albert, who, in addi
| tion, gave him the King AlberLMedal. j

Thd London Daily Mail, which in
augurated the first transatlantic
flight, gave him a gold loving cup,
and a gold thermos bottle was the
joint gift from the United States Sec
retary of War, Secretary of. the Navy
and the Secretary of Commerce.
His Habits Disregarded.
If the colonel cares for base ball
games . there is no reason why he
I should ever open his purse to see
! them. The National Association of j
] Professional Base Ball Leagues pro- j
] vided him with a life membership ]
card, done in gold, which should be i
good at any gate in the land. In ad
dition, the National Base Ball League
presented him with an emblem in
gold showing the Spirit of St. Louis
on top of a base ball. The Shubert
Theater Corporation extended 'the;
| privileges of its theaters in the form
of a gold and diamond pass, and
! ’ Ace” Hudkins from the realm of
; *>i' >rts, presented him with a pair of
i boxing gloveo made of gold cloth,
j Binoculars in many sizes and shapes.
I cigarette cases for a man who does j
not smoke, whisky tlasks for a man j
who does not drink, solid silver fire J
extinguishers for use on his airplane,;
a couple of dozen watches, diamond- ;
studded fountain pens, stickpins in '
infinite variety, steel-beaded bags!
with name interwoven, obviously a
gift for his mother; silver plates, sil
ver tablets, a handkerchief with a
holy medal, a black velvet cat, tables, j
chairs, pieces of sculpture, automobile j
radiator adornments, a plaster cast of j
“Victory of the Air Over Sea,” a bust;
of Wilbur Wright, a silver airplane j
on an onyx base from his friends in ;
the Missouri National Guard Air Unit (
—these are but a few of the hundreds
of gifts of varying value that are now !
on exhibition.
A Document With a History.
One of the documents highly re
garded by Col. Lindbergh is a parch
ment containing the autographs of!
the merrbers of the Lafayette Esca- j
drille surrounding a water color 1
sketch of the head of an American j
Indian -chief. .Soon after the organ- j
ization of the escadrille in 1916 the
pilots of this brilliant flying squadron !
met to select an emblem or insignia \
for their planes. Eventually the In ;
dlan head was selected, and at the i
suggestion of Capt. Verdy, who was is
command of the group P. S., all
members autographed it. A few days
later the American Escadrille lost
three of its pilots, who died in action,
and these were followed shortly after j
by the deaths of De Laage, Lufberry, I
Hurrit and others.
This relic, carefully preserved by j
Capt. Verdy. was sent by him to Col.
Lindbergh through Ambassador Her
rick The letter accompanying the
gift said it was Verdy’s “most pre
| eious souvenir of the World War. j
hearing as it does the names of so I
many dead heroes,” but that he wish- ;
ed to give it to the colonel because j
“he brought us greetings from our j
brothers of American aviation: it is ;
the ‘trait d'union’ between these two |
countries.”
Personal Mementos.
Os slight intrinsic value, but per
haps possessed of the most interest
to the curious public, are four articles
carried by Col. Lindbergh during the
memorable journey. One is the ocean
chart which guided him over the un
familiar waters. Reckoning from it
he was able to keep his course with
such fidelity that he landed in France
virtually as he had planned. Only
once, according to the chart, did he
deviate materially from his chosen
course, and on the map are certain
pencil marks made by the aviator,
while in midflight, denoting that
change.
Another is the condensing flask
I carried for emergency purposes. Had
he been forced down into the sea he
ouid have used this flask, which con
denses the moisture from one’s breath.
Then, there is the water canteen
which he carried on the flight, and
j there is also a packet of “maps of
Europe,” with which the aviator had
provided himself. Obviously it was
his intention to do some European
barnstorming after he got across.
What lie Chose for This Flight.
| Col. Lindbergh was in St. Louis sev
, eral weeks ago and was induced to
j view these mementos. It might be
| imagined that he spent hours at the
I job, reveling in their lieauty, on
i tranced by the thought of the honor
I that each implied, or perhaps pom
■ puting their value in money. Quite
,as casually as he hopped off for
I Europe did this most unusual aviator
j regard the vast array of gifts. He
j spent less than 20 minutes in the
budding.
It was suggested that perhaps he
wished to take something with him
a watch or a stick pin or one of his
club memberships or a Legion of
Honor Cross or one of a dozen dia
■ mond rings. He looked them all over.
“I can use this,” he said, and walk
ed away with it.
It was a pair of goggles.

BV SENATE GROUP
Campaign Funds Committee
Fixes January 7 for
Smith’s Appearance.
i
By the Associated Press.
Granting the request of Frank L,
I Smith of Illinois for postponement
! until after the Christmas holidays of
I hearings on hts right to the Senate
[seat temporarily denied him last week,
I the Senate campaign funds commit
j tee yesterday fixed January 7 for
i his appearance.
In addition the committee decided
i to hear on that day Samuel Insun,
I Chicago public utilities official, and his
| personal counsel, Daniel T. Schuyler,
| who now desire to purge themselves
! of contempt by reason of their re
! fusal to tell the names of the per
i sons to whom Insull gave around
i $40,000 for use in the Illinois sena-
I torial campaign in 1926.
Have Told of Donations.
‘ Upon their first two appearances
before the committee, once in Chicago
and once in Washington, Insull and
Schuyler told fully of their contribu
| tions to Smith's primary campaign
j fund and also to donations of other
| sums in that campaign on behalf of
George Brennan, defeated Democratic
candidate for Senator, and for propa
ganda against the World Court.
They refused, however, to go into
I other contributions on the ground
| that they did not relate to the sena
j torial contest.
Subsequently the United States Su-
I preme Court in the Mai Daughertv
j ease upheld the right of Senate com-
I mittees to conduct inquiries on th<
ground that it was to he presumed
; that they sought their information
; in the interest of prospective legis
lation. Recently Insull and Schuyler
asked that they he permitted to re
appear before the committee, which
had decided to report their cases ti>
the Senate for such action as it might
deem appropriate.
Vare Case Considered.
Besides discussing these cases, the
committee yesterday took up that of
j W illiam S. Vare of Pennsylvania, who
- also was denied the oath of office as
j a Senator last week because of ex
-1 penditures in his primary campaign.
| but no date for beginning that hear
| ing was fixed.
Senator Reed. Democrat. Missouri.
| the chairman, and Senator La Fol
; lette. Republican, Wisconsin, were
i named a subcommittee to maintain
! relations with the Senate elections
committee, which has before it the
contest brought against Vare by his
Democratic opponent, William B. Wil
son, former Secretary of Labor.
Because it requires six months to
get an automobile from Baranquilla
to Bogota, Colombia, the dealers in
Bogota have sold out their supply and
many who wish cars are unable to get
them.
