COOLIDGE LEAVES CUBA; VISIT IS ROUND OF TRIUMPHS

PRAISE GIVEN PRESIDENT AT STATEJINNER Island’s Chief Executive Is Lavish in Eulogy, of United States. REACH KEY WEST TODAY Board Battleship Texas at Early Hour for Return to Washington. BY CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD UNITED STATES CRUISER MEMPHIS AT SEA—(BY RADIO, VIA KEY WEST TO UNITED PRESS), Jon. 17.—Returning in triumph from his twoday good-will visit to the PanAmerican conference, President Coolidge sailed from Havana for Key West on the cruiser Memphis at 7:45 a. m. today. President Machado, of Cuba and Mrs. Machodo accompanied the American President and Mrs. Coolidge to the dock. Workmen along the street paused to wave and cheer as the procession of motor cars moved toward the water front. Foreign Minister Ortiz accompanied the presidential party aboard the Memphis. President and Mrs. Machado waved from the dock as the Memphis steamed out and farewell presidential salutes were exchanged by the guns of the cruiser and the Cuban batteries ashore. Clears Harbor Early The Memphis cleared .the harbor at 8:45 on its ninety-mile cruise to Key West, where the President was to board his special train for Washington. The battleship Texas, aboard which President Coolidge made the trip to Havana, cleared Havana harbor half-an-hour behind the Memphis. President Coolidge decided to return aboard the Memphis rather than the big Texas, because the smaller ship would be able to approach closer to Key West harbor and loss of time in transferring outside would be avoided. The final official function of the Coolidges’ stay in this tropical paradise was attendance last night at the official state dinner in their honor, given by the Cuban president, Machado. Superb Banquet The President and the First Lady, with 200 Pan-American conference delegates and their ladies, attended the dinner in the mirrored hall of the presidential palace. The banquet was superb. The finest foods were interspersed with rare wines and liquors. The dinner started with el presidente cocktails, a mixture of Cuba’s famed rum, burgundy, curacao and gin. President Coolidge, according to the guests, did not touch any of the alcoholic beverages. The dinner was a reaffirmation of the friendship displayed in the visit to Cuba of the United States President. There was” an interchange of addresses by President Coolidge and President Machado that reflected upon his friendship—first shown when thousands lined the paths upon which the American party entered Havana.

Coolidge Given Praise “I can not refrain from referring on this occasion to the noble and admirable concepts enunciated by your excellency, President Coolidge,” said President Machado in a brief address. “The phrases which you have dedicated to our country, even though sculptured in marble and bronze, would be less deeply engraved than they arc in the hearts of the Cuban people.” There was vigorous applause as the Cuban president concluded his few remarks. He was followed by President Coolidge who said: "I am touched greatly by the cordial manner in which your excellency has received my brief but sincere references this morning to your glorious country. “I have looked forward with keen anticipation to this visit to Havana, but the warmth, kindliness and sincerity of the welcome of the Cuban government and people far have surpassed anything I could have expected, though the courtesy and hospitality of your countrymen are proverbial in the United States.” Succession of Triumphs The visit to Cuba has been a succession of triumphs in warm-heart-ed friendliness, such as Latins only can display, for President Coolidge. Prom the moment the Texas steered into historic Havana harbor Sunday, the open-hearted Latins have paid homage to President Coolidge that few American Presidents have received. Thousands thronged the thoroughfares Sunday to shout a greeting to the distinguished visitor from the north. The path of his motor car was strewn with roses. Again yesterday there was a repetition of this infectious spirit of friendship. As President Coolidge left the National Theater after addressing the Pan-American Conference, thousands in the streets cheered him. BOULDER DAM ASSAILED By United i’rcs* WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The Swing-Johnson Boulder Dam bill was assailed by Arlzoans today at the first hearing on the measure before the Senate Irrigation and Reclamation Committee. "I have never heard of a more outrageous, unmoral and pernicious document than this bill,” said Governor George Hunt of Arizona, chairman of the Colorado river commission of Arizona.

‘John D. ’ Finds Secret of Happiness in Calm, Sunny Late Afternoon of Life

Church, Chat With Cronies, a Little Golf Mark Hours in Florida. BY CHARLES M. McCANN United Cress Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 192 C, by United Press) ORMOND BEACH, Fla., Jan. 17.—John D. Rockefeller, father of Big Business, has found the secret of happiness. Whatever he once was in the use and accumulation, of his wealth, he now is benign, gentle, courteous, approachable by anyone, the world’s first and greatest captain of industry seems to have no thought but to make the world a happier place to live in. Here, in idyllically beautiful surroundings, “John D.” spends roughly one-fourth of his life. He is here now, for the winter months. His life is one of complete simplicity and peace—a sort of sunny late afternoon to his eventful career rather than the twilight usually associated with years so advanced as his, for he is approaching 89. u n u SIX holes of golf a day, all his doctor will allow him; a visit on Sunday mornings to the little Union Church across the broad Halifax River that his home faces; an armchair at the Sunday evening concert at the hotel; a chat with one cf the cronies who visit him from various parts of the country; a little reading; a little tinkering with his radio. That is a bald and perhaps not too incomplete outline of his program. It might be that of any man of his years who retained, or who had found, the joy of life. But it is in the way that Rockefeller leads his life that its own apparent idyllic beauty is revealed. As much as any man can, he seems to love and to be loved by people here. Twenty years ago he w-as the octopus; the business juggernaut, the ruthless monopolist who crushed those who did not move aside for him. Cartoonists made their livings by portraying him in unfavorable aspect. Politicians sought office by denouncing him and his Standard Oil, his one-man company that almost ended one-man companies as a factor in industry. a a a ROCKEFELLER may have enemies in the world today, implacable foes of old days, whom he has not outlived. But not here. In Ormond, “John D.” is loved. Those who look at him as he passes, those who serve him, those who meet him on equal plane, those who come giggling to see a curiosity, have nothing but good to say of this once much-hated and easily hateable man. He really is just an old, old man. But there is nothing of crabbed aged about him. Where others have laughed through life to pessimistic senility, Rockefeller seems only to have reached the full bloom of life since his retirement from business. He has been coming here for twelve years and people who have known him all that time say he has not aged a day. This year, they insist, he is looking younger. Rockefeller’s shoulders are stooped now. His long, prehensile arms drop forward. His hair is dead white. His face is seamed with countless tiny wrinkles. But his skin is tanned and clear. His hand is steady. His voice is firm. His hearing seems acute. His sight seems keen. And he seems as happy as a man could be—just in liking people and being liked. nun IN selecting Ormond Beach as one of his yearly ports of call, “John D.” seems to have shown

the acumen that places him at the head of the list as great industrialists. It is a tourist town that tourists have not spoiled. Just now, as the season is opening, it looks a town of the old South that has had a minor boom. The boom is exemplified by a row of concrete one-story shops just back of Rockefeller’s modest home, along the street on which the north side of the Rockefeller home abuts. The house itself faces west, a few yards from the east bank of the broad, quietly flowing river, in small, tree-filled grounds like those of a well-to-do citizen or any country town. It is aptly named ‘The Casements’*—a house of many windows, winking in the sun as do old “John D.’s” bright, merry eyes.' He keeps a small staff of servants there under the superintendency of a housekeeper; a doctor, and a secretary. Usually also there is one of his old friends, a periodical visitor. Just now the guest has been Father Patrick Lennon of St. Cecelia’s Church, New York. a a ON Sunday, while Rockefeller prepared for attendance at his Union Presbyterian Church, Father Lennon went off to celebrate mass. "John D.’s” car moved off at the customary moment of 10:50 for the half-mile drive across the low white w’ooden drawbridge that spans the Halifax. The church is in sight of “The Casements,” though itself on the north side of the bridge as “The Casements” is south, surrounded with trees as it stands a few yards back of the west bank. Mrs. Fannie A. Evans, the housekeeper, and N. W. Davis, the secretary, accompanied Rockefeller. The car halted before the little gabled frame church, “John D.” went in, exchanging greetings with fellow-worshippers, and took his place in his pew, in the second row. He listened attentive’, following the service throughout. His face was saddened that day because he just had learned of the death of Dr. Leonard Woejfking, for fourteen years pastor of his New York church. There was no particular incident of interest that day. The hom-rim-spectacled young pastor, Dr. Guy Stanton Boyer, preached his sermon —on the need of vision; vision of the sick and poor, and of their needs; and of the necessity for following up vision by action. Once there was a time when such a sermon in “John D.’s” hearing would have caused a newspaper sensation as aimed at him. The pastor made reference to Dr. Woelfking. The service ended, and Rockefeller, after saying good-by to those who surrounded him, went out and home for the day. 1 mum SOME Sundays, Rockefeller finds strangers at the church, and he always goes to greet them. Sometimes, when the little building is crowded, he goes around taking hymnals to late arrivals: and if he does not recognize them, welcomes them to the church. That is the end of his Sunday, unless, as usually in the season, he goes over to the yellow, greenshuttered, palm enclosed Ormond Hotel across the road beside “The Casements” to hear an evening

Collar points will be from three and one-half to four inches in depth. White broadcloth shirts are good, but the tendency at present is toward the brighter colors and patterns. This seems to apply particularly to pajamas. Joseph’s famous coat would doubtless prove to be a super-conservative number if displayed beside the latest thing in men’s sleeping garments. In this department flamboyance reigns supreme. Gay patterns trimmed with novel collars and pockets hold sway and solid shades are a rarity.

HAIL GOGLIDGE AS POLITICAL AVIATION ‘AGP ‘Never Got Down to Earth in Havana Rhetorical Effort,’ Says British Press. By CLIFFORD L. DAY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 17.—Liberal newspapers throughout Great Britain today sharply criticised President Coolidges’ “good will” speech at Havana, as an evasion of facts in favor of idealistic sentiments. They w’ere joined by one conservative newspaper that characterized the President’s speech as making him “the ace of political aviators” because, the newspaper—the Evening Standard—said, he never got down to earth. The influential Manchester Guardian said the speech was “lavishly rhetorical,” but somewhat economical in its treatment of facts. “It was hopefully idealistic,” the newspaper continued, “but would have been more valuable if it had contained positive proposals. “For instance the establishment of some, sort of court to determine what acts of one State against k another constitute aggressions.” Faen of Self-Praise “President Coolidge’s speech was a long paen of self praise culminating in the scriptural quotation, ‘We have been slow anger and plenteous ir> \.*.~ry, * commented, the Independent Liberal Westminster Gazette. “The familiar tone of the United State declaration that ‘ail nations stand here on an exact footing of equality,’ might seem to open the floodgates of inquiry it was designed to dam; but to smaller States probably it was unsatisfactory. “The sovereignty of small nations does not seem entirely to be respected by the United States.” “President Coolidge spoke lengthily of Columbus, but said nothing regarding Nicaragua and Mexico,” complained the Liberal Daily New's, a strong supporter of David Lloyd George. Days of Dictation Fast “He insisted that nowhere did American republics have great military establishments maintained for the purpose of over-aweing and subjugating other nations. But he neglected to mention that the United States Government at present is considering naval expansion greater than any since the spectacular effort of Germany in the years preceding the war. “It is plain that the United States realizes finally the extent to which its aggressive and imperialistic policy has alienated the sympathy of all Latin-America, which has outgrown all selfish interpretations of the Monroe Doctrine, and no longer will submit to the supreme dictation of a single State.”
