Moses Warns South That Wood, Ii
Elected, WtlI Try to Reduce Repre-
sentatiOn.
Washington, Feb. 22.--While ap-
pearlng as the publicity agent and
official mouthpiece for General Leon
ard Wood in the latter's aspirations to
become president, Senator George II.
II. Moses, Of New Hampshire, today is
sued a warning to the people of the
South as to what might happen should
General Wood receive the Republican
nomination and be elected. This warn
ing, in short, clearly tells the Southern
people that they may expect in the
event Of General Woods election, to
have their representation in congress
materially reduced. This is natural
statement coming from Senator Moses,
inasmuch as he recently introduced
resolution providing for the appoint
mcnt o ia special committee to investi-
gate election conditions in the South.
Here Is what the New Hampshire
senator says:
at Is impossible to overestimatc the

",rhis is particularly t ,e Of the
South. There arc about twenty con-
grcssonal districts in various south
ern states where the vote in the 1918
election for congress and in previous
elections for years back, has been ex-
ceedingly close and where a strong
and popular man like Leonard Wood
at the head of Republican ticket un-
doubtedly would turn Republican de-
feats OF the past to victory.
"In some of these districts the
swing of few hundred votes to the
Republican ticket would mean another
Republican member of the house of
representatives and in others the shift
need only be thousand votes or pos
sibly little more to bring about the
same result which every one must be

the present administration.

the last few weeks would attempt to
deny the fact that there Is an over

Wood and that he is with 1t question

REMAINS OF CORTEz
HAVE BEEN FOUND
Bones OF Spanish Explorer located in
Temple of Jesus IN Mexico City.

Iemple OF jesus III Mexico C1ty.
Mexico City, Feb. 1.After almost
one hundred years of consistent
search 1t now appears that the remains
of Earnando Cortez, Spanish con-
queror of Mexico, have been definitely
located in the Temple Of Jesus, one OF
the many Catholic churches in Mexico
City. A gold key which can unlock
the marble 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 de la Bara, resident Of
Paris, and efforts are being made to
obtain it. The key comes to Sonora
Borneque as heritage.
Newspapers here have agreed in this
connection to give absolute credence
to the testimony Of a direct dcscendent
Of the keeper Of the Hospital Of Jesus,
an annex to the temple OF the same
name. lie claims to have documentary
evidence that in 1928, 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 search
for the hiding place, many asserting
1t was IN Old Spain and other in
Naglcs, Italy.
The rcstlessness which drove Hern-
ando Cortcz, Spanish courtier, to New
Spain and eliminated in the conquest
Of Mexico from the Aztecs in 1921,
after one Of the most brilliant cam
paigns in all history, apparently con-
Spain, in 1547. He was buried in the
chapel Of monastery near Seville,
but in 1862, in accordance with his
will and by order Of his son, the re-
mains were taken to Mexico, not to
the Mexico City suburb Of Coyoacan,
which had been Cortes' headquarters
during the memorable seige Of Mexico
City, but to tho monastery Of ST. Fran
cisco in Tezcuco, another village near
the Mexican capital.
The remains were moved again in
1929, 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 1894 the
remains were again given new rest
ing place-the Hospital Of Jesus Of
Nazareth, an institution founded and
endowed by Cortez, There was no
period OF interruption until crowd
Of demonstrants in 1928 wished to
scatter the remains as token OF their
independence when a secret removal
was made until the fame Of revolu-
ton died down.
1T 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 the dust Of Cortez
wrapped in linen, embroidered with
gold was deposited and now is be-
lieved TO await the return to Mexico
of the golden key with which its hid
den place may be unlocked.
