RESTING PLACE.
Of CORTEz|S
REVEALED
Princess Is Inferred Near
Ashes Of Conqueror
and Crusader.
By WILLIAM p. FLYTHE
universal Service Staff Correspondent.

|
MEXICO CITY, Dec. Gothic ex-
act spot marking the final resting
place of the ashes of fernando Cor
tez, conqueror of Mexico, and great
Catholic crusader, was revealed here to-
day.
The revelation was made when the
burial took place of Marquesa del Vale
de Oaxaca-to give her the papal des-
ignation-and better known as the
Princess Maria Gloria Cortez de Pig
natelli.
The princess was recently killed here
by an automobile while she was out
with her brother, Prince Antoine Pig
natelli, the last surviving heir TO vast
estates here, in Italy and in Spain.
CABLE VATICAN.
The princess last words contained
a request that she be buried near the
ashes of her distinguished forbear.
While it was known that the con-
queror had been inferred in the walls
of the ancient cathedral and hospital,
Jesus de Maria, none knew the exact
spot, which was carefully guarded
through the various revolutions and
outbreaks against Spanish domination.
1t was necessary to cable the Vati-
can both to learn the exact spot and
to secure permission for the interment,
as a papal bull had prohibited any
interment near the Cortez remains.
STIRS INDIANS.
The burial ceremony of the princess
has stirred the Indians as nothing else
has in years. The legend that white
ghost guards the tomb was made real
istic by the confession of a thief who
attempted to rob the remains of the
princess of priceless jewels.
The Indian thief rushed to the Do
lice, saying that a white ghost had
appeared. telling him not only not to
commit the robbery, but to confess his
intended crime.
Prince Pignatelli is leaving shortly
for the United States, from whence
he will embark for Italy. The tragedy
of his sisters death has practically
stopped his ambition to rehabilitate
Mexico.

CITE INSTANCE.

?. That the difficulties Of the Tri-
State Tobacco Growers cooperative
Association, the largest in the South,
are due largely to the fact that its Of
ficers began in 1923 to withhold green
tobacco from the market and to send it
to redrying and storage plants in
which some of them were financially
interested.
}. That at least % officials of the
eo-operatives were financially interest
ed in the redrying plants and deriving
handsome profits from them in addi-
ton to their salaries from the CO.
operatives.
The case Of the Edmondson Tobacco
Company. OF South Boston. Va, is
cited by the commission in its report
to the President. That plant was es-
tabllshed and owned in equal parts BY
L. X. Edmondson, warehouseman for
the cooperative society, Mt a salary of
$1,000: r. r. Paterson, general man

SARGENT GETS REPORT.

President Coolidge has sent the re-
port to Attorney General Sargent to
determine whether there has been any
"wrongdoing," it was announced at
the White House today. When Sar-
gent is done with il. the report will
probably be published, it was an
nounced.
The tobacco probe was ordered by
the Senate. In the debate, it was
charged by several senators that the
American and the Imperial companies,
in a scheme to destroy the co-opera-
tives, refused TO buy green tobacco
from any of the big co-operatives in
Kentucky, Virginia, North and South
Carolina, where two-thirds of the
countrys tobacco is produced.
1t is learned on good authority that
the commission has reported to Presi-
dent Coolidge:

bacco companies "are not substantial
