Hunt in Mexican
Mountains f or
Brigands' Col d

MEXICO CITY, (By mail to the
United Press).- Americans and
Mexicans are prying into the mys-
rteries of - Treasure Mountain.
High up in the Sierra Madre
mountains, near the village of Cruz
de Piedra, in the state of Mexico,
Indians say is buried a large amount
of gold and silver treasure af
brigands.
Headed by Adolf Sandova, the lit
tie group of Americans and Mex
leans have begun efforts to find the
missing treasure.
For many years Indians have
told stories of the treasure hidden
on top of the mountains, but these
were believed to be legendary tales,
until a few months ago when an old
Indian attempted to cash a gold
bar at bank in nearby city. The
banker saw that the gold bar was
not of the kind now made and call
ed in the police.
The old Indian told Of the treas
nre which he said was enough to
pay off the national debt of Mexico.
The Indian then led group of
officials on a hunt for the treasure.
He told them to start digging at a
certain point until they reached an
underground marking stone. This
they did and the stone was found
Then he told them to dig until they
found a cross and the bones of two
Indians who, he said were killed by
his father when he sealed the cave
in which the treasure was placed.
This was done and the bones were
found.
But-and here the mystery deep
ems the next morning the Indian had
disappeared and, according to the
story,has not been seen since. Att
tempts were made to find the trea-
sure, but of no avail.

 We, here in the United States, do not care for the Far East today but take my word we are going to be- cause in ten years from now $15,OO0,- 900 worth of goods is going to be exported from this country yearly into China" Mir. Hubert told his audience.
 Europe and South America are not going to be able to take all Of the goods we make and ship out of this country and it will be necessary to depend upon the Chinese to pur- chase big share"
 The speaker asserted that there is nothing that will stand between a Chinese and bargain and the Chinese are the most honest people with which to have business dealings. Ac- cording to MT. Hubert there is a large amount of trade to be done with China.
 Many Millionaires in China.

CANNOT HAVE CHILD
Real Mother, Who Never Did Care For Offspring, Must Make Way For Those Who Did.

Chicago, May 3.--The welfare of i2 year old Alice Beatrice Nuttall will be better served by her remaining in the care of the foster parents than by restoring her to the mother from whom she was taken as babe with out parental consent, two judges de- cided yesterday in the case brought by Mrs. Ada Morris against Mir. and Mrs. James Nuttall of Waukegan.
 Little Alice on the witness stand said that while she believed she could learn to love her mother, Mrs. Morris. she could not love her as well as she does Mother and Daddy Nuttall,
 Mrs Morris testified that when Alice was born, before she had been married to the child's father. rela- tives took the infant from her while she was unconscious and placed it in nursing home. From there Alice was taken by the Nuttalls. The judges decision provided for Mrs. Morris to visit Alice and added:
 Courts cannot be governed by sen timent or tears or sorrow in cases in volving the rights of individuals or of the state. The state is a silent part ner with a zealous if not a jealous eye to the welfare of the child. If that were not true this government would be failure"
New Britain herald., 1923-05-03

Chicago, May 3.--Someone's heart must be broken, and it shall not be a child's.
 Such was the decision of Judge David that led him to reverse the precedent set by Solomon and award Alice Beatrice Nuttall to a foster in- stead of her real mother,
 Tt is not a question:" read Judge David's decision that the heart of the mother would be broken, or the hearts of the foster parents would be broken, but that the heart of child would be broken"
