11EMAINS OF CORTEZ
HAVE DEJN FOUND
Dones of Spanish Explorer lJocated fin
Temple 'of Jesus li MeieoOity.
Mexico City, Fob'.11.-After almost
ono hundred yeari 'of consistent
search it now appears that the remains
of Harnando Cortez, ' 'Spanish con
queror of Mexico, have been definitely
located in the Temple of Jesus, one of
the many Catholic churches in Mlexico
City. A gold key which can unlock
the nar'ble vault containing the dust
of !'The Conquistador" and the funer
al margents in which he was buried,
is said to be in possession of Sonora
Borneque do la Jara, a resident of
Paris, and efforts are being made to
obtain it. The key conies to Sonora
Bornoque as a heritage.
Newspapers here have agreed in this
connection to give absolute credence
to the testimony of a direct descendent
of the keepor of the Hospital of Jesus,
an annex to the temple of the same
name. die claims to have documentary
evidence that in 1823, when patriotic
zealots !planned to take forcible pos
session of Cortez' remains, they were
saved from violation and were later
returned to their original resting place
beneath the main altar of the temple.
it was in Old Spain and others in
caused students to conduct a search
for the hiding place, many asserting
it was in Old Spailn and other in
Nagles, Italy.
The restlessness -which drove Hern
ando Cortez, Spanish courtier, to New
Spain and culminated in the conquest
of Mfexico from the Aztecs in 1521,
after one of the most brilliant cain
paigns in all history, apparently con
tinued after his death near Sexille,
Spain, in 1547. ,He was buried in the
chapel of a monastery near Seville,
but in .1662, In accordance with his
will and by oriler of his son, the re
mains were taken to Mexico, not to
the Alexico City -suburb of Coyoacan,
which ihad been 'Cortes' headquarters
during the memorable selge of Mexico
City, but to the monastery of St. Fran
cisco In Tezeuco, another village near
the Mexican capital.
The remains .vere moved again in
1629, this time to the church of St.
Francis in 'Mexico City. The transfer
was accompanied by the most lavish
religious pomp.and ceremony ever re
corded in the country. In 1794 the
remains were again given a new rest
ing place-the Hospital of Jesus of
Nazareth, an institution founded and
endowed by Cortez. There was no
period of interruption. until.a crowd
of demonstrants in 1823 wished to
scatter the remains as a token of their
independence when a secret removal
-was iade until the flame of revolu
tion died down.
,It is in this hospital, or church as
it is now, that the historic crystal cof
fin secured by ,bars and plates of silver
and containing tie dust of Cortez
wrapped in linen, enbroidered with
gold, !was deposited and now is be
lieved to await the return to M1exico
of the golden key with which its hid
den place may be unlocked.

LIN001/N SPOKE
OF WASHINGTON
Tribute Voiced Seventyeigth.t Years
Ago. Found After Long Search.
New York, Feb. 21.-Seventy-eight
Years 'ago tomorrow, in -pi'ingfield,
Ill., where his tomb is now a shrine
before which a nation bows in rever
ence, young Abraham Lincoln paid
tribute to George -Washington.. The
Words he uttered then, perhaps as elo
quent as his world famed Gettysburg
address, have been lost for three quar
ters of a century, in the pages of a
country newspaper hidden away in the
files of the congressional library. They
were -brought to light to be given to
the world for the first time almost on
the eve of another birthday of the first
president.
"This is the 110th anniversary of
the birth of Washington," he said. "We
are met to celebrate this (lay. Wash
ington is the mightiest name on earth
-long since mightiest in the cause of
civil -liberty, still mightiest in moral
reformation. On this name an eulogy
is expected. It can not be. To add
brightness to the sun or glory to the
name of .Washington is alike impos
sible. 'Let none attempt it. in solemn
awe pronounce the name and in its
naked, deathless splendor leave it
shining on."
The text of this unknown exampie
of Lincoln's eloquence was found in
Washington by 'Lucien Hugh Alex
ander of Philadelphia, who gave it to
the Associated Press today. An ac
count of the ceremony at which Lon
coln spoke was contained in the copy
of the Sangamon Journal, published at
Springfield on February 25, 1842. The
tribute to Washington was the final
paragraph of an address upon an
other subject and the address in full
was published in The Journal of
March 26. A complete flle of the news
paper for that year was found by Mr.
Alexander in the library of congress.'
Mr. Alexander, a student of Lincoln,
came upon the address while on his
torical research work. He declared
that in his judgment it is destined in
the years to come to be read or re
cited at virtually every celebration of
Washington's birthday the country
over.
"-lay and Nicolay and also Ida lar
bell missed it," he said. "And so have
all of Lincoln's biographers so far as
I can discover. Indeed I believe this
is the only encomium extant by Lin
coln upon the "Father of our Coun
try,' and if so its importance from a
purely historical and sentimental tuo
tation will be sure to link their P. es
together in a most unusual and ti
tiful way from now on every Febru
ary 22."
AND THE SOUTH
Moses Warns South 'That Woodi, If
Elected, Wil Try to Reduce Itepre
sentation.
'Washington, Feb. 22.-While ap
pearing as the publicity agent and
official mouthpiece for General ,Leon
ard Wood in the latter's aspirations to
become president, Senator Gleorge H.
HI. Moses, of INew Hampshire, todlay is
sued a wvarning to the people of the'~
South as to wvhat might happen should
General Wood receive the Republican
nomination anid be elected,. T1his warn
ing, in shoft, clearly tells tile Southern
p~eople that they may expect, in the
event of General iWood's election, to
hlave thleir' represnitation in' congress
materially reduced. This is a natural
statement coming from Senator Moses,
inasmuch as he recently introdlucedl a
resolution providing for- the apipoint
menti 0 fa sp~ecial comlmittee to investi
gate election condlitions ini tile South.
Here is wvhat the New Hlampshire
senator says:
"It is impossible to overestimate the
importance to the country andl to the
Republican party of nominating a can
didate at Chicago like Leonard WVood,
who is so universally popular' that he
will carry to suIccess with him Re
lpubljcan candidatesjlu many close con
gressioilal districts.
"This is particullarly t te of the
South. Thlere are about twecnty con
gressional- districts in various south
era states whore the vote in the 1918
election for congress and in previouls
elections for years back, has been ex
ceedingly close andl where a strong
and popular man like Leonard Wood
at thle head of Republican ticket un
doubtedly would turn Republican de
feats of the past to victory.
"SIn sonme of these districts the
swving of a few hundred votes to the
Republican ticket would mean another
Republican member of tile house of
representatives andl in others the shift
need only ho a thousand votes or pos
sibly a~ little more to bring about the
same result which every one must bc
lieve desira-ble after seven yea'rs of
the present adminiistratilon.
"No one who is interested in poli
tics who has traveled in the South in
the last few weeki; would attempt 'to
deny tile fact that there is an over-~
wvhelming sentiment there for Gener'al
WoQId and that he is w'vi blt questic.n
one of the most popular~ men in that
part of the cotintry ever seriously
Afoentiod for the Republiean nomia
higtioll. lHe is talked about in every
state of the South as the most formid
able candidate the party could name
and is universally respected and ad
mired -by Republicans ,and Democrats
alike. hlundreds of letters have come
to headquarters here from flmen, -who
in the past, have voted the Demo
cratic ticket declaring their intention
If Wood is the -Republicati nominee to
give their active support and their
ballots.
"Districts in the South which are
close and which may easily be made
Republican with a popular man at
the head of -the national ticket, in
clude several districts in North Caro
lina, several in Tennessee, in Mary
land, Kentucky, at least two and
Possibly three in Alabama, and at
least one in \Vest Virginia. There
are others in otheI states such as
Arkansas and Virginia which might
go Republican under favorable cir
cumstances and with Wood at the
head of the Republican party the
chances for success would be in
creased immeasurably."
If this is to be one ofil General
Wood's schemes in the event lie is
elected 'rSident, lie may not get that
bU Southern vote after all.
