LATE MESSAGES
WASHINGTON, December 9. The Senate refused seats to Sena-tors-elect Vare (Republican), Pennsylvania, and Smith (Republican), Illinois, on the grounds of undue campaign expenditure. WASHINGTON, December 9. Mr Coolidge has proposed an international civil aviation conference and exhibition here next December, in conjunction with the Commerce Department’s Aeronautical Conference. In a letter addressed to the conference, the President said: “Our people, in common with other nations, are greatly interested in the advancement of this newest instrumentality in transportation. Next December will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first flight of a power-driven-heavier-than-air-machine. I therefore have in mind the proper celebration of this anniversary of Orville Wright’s flight, and am confident every aid can be relied upon in this matter.” The announcement was greeted with enthusiasm.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 9. Smith has postponed his fourth attempt until December 10, due to adverse winds.
