SPURIOUS DOCUMENTS.

PUBLISHED BY HEARST. Brings U.S. Near to War. WASHINGTON, January 8. Miguel Avila, the Mexican halfbreed who furnished Hearst wifli spurious documents designed to show 4 that President Calles was waging a Bolshevik war against the United States, was charged with forging these documents himself. When the Senate Investigating Committee completed its inquiry, the Committee exonerated, as falsely charged, everyone named in the Hearst documents, and will present a 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.

Crowning evidence that forgery had been committed came, when authentic State papers, written and signed by Calles, and the other Mexicans, credited with having written the Hearst documents, were produced before the committee.
