FORGED DOCUMENTS
HEARST ALLEGATIONS CALLES AND UNITED STATES (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Sydney Sun Cable.) (Received 9th January, 2.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Bth January. Miguel Avila, the Mexican halfbrccd gentleman, who furnished Hearst with spurious documents designed to show that President Calles was waging a Bolshevik war against the United States, was charged with forging these documents himself. When the Senate's Investigating Committee completed its inquiry, the committee exonerated as falsely charged everyone named in the Hearst documents and will present ii finding apportioning the blame as amongst Hearst himself, his detective, and the editors who handled the story that in a few days brought the United States and Mexico unpleasantly near to war. The crowning evideneo that forgery had been committed came when the authentic State papers, written and signed by President Calles and other Mexicans credited with having written the Hearst documents were produced before the committee.
