PENSION LAW
IN CHAOS
A STRIKING SCENE

Civil service retirement legisla-
ton is in almost complete chaos
as the result of the attitude of
President Coolidge in favoring
further notifications in the pro-
gram.
The White House has rejected
the new Lehlbach bill, leaving
the House Civil Service Commit
tee with the alternative of drop
ping the legislation altogether, or
of renouncing its own carefully
formed judgment on the issue and
drafting new measure.
Senator Stanfield, who is in
charge of retirement matters in the
Senate, is in a somewhat better
position. Before making new
draft of the bill. he waited until he
received some definite word as to
the Presidents attitude.
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee meets Saturday to act upon
a new bill, but 1t seems doubtful
whether it will be able to reach
any decision without coming into
sharp conflict with the views or
the President There is little sentt-
ment on the committee in favor OF
further notifications Of the meas
ure, such as President Coolidge Is
insisting upon, 1t is said.
If the Senate committee ignores
the Presidential wishes on the
issue, civil service retirement viii
die a natural death, SO far as the
present session is concerned, on the
Senate calendar.
The Administration leaders win
decline to permit its consideration.
A similar state of affairs exists in
the House.
1t is probable that both Repre-
sentative Lehlbach and Senator
Stanfield will confer with Presi-
dent Coolidge in the near future
in an effort to reach an agree
ment. 1t is only by such an
agreement that the legislation has
any prospect of passage.

most bloodthirsty of the Spanish eX-
pedition, committed many crimes or
force against and assassinations of
Mexican mobiles, causing the people
to rise up against the conquerors
Forced by Cortez, the emperor ap
pealed to the people to quit their
warlike attitude; but Cuauhtemoc, III
the face of this cowardice, raised his
banner in rebellion against his en-
peror, followed by the populace.
Seeing his danger, Cortes evacuated
the city under cover of night, but he
was surprised by the Mexicans who
attacked him with fury and utterly
as "a Noche Triste" or THE Sad
Night because Cortes cried beneath
an "ahuenhate" tree over his defeat.
Cuahtemoc was then named en-
peror, and he initiated formidable
warfare against the Spaniards, re-
fusing offers of peace on any condi-
tions except complete liberty and eX-
pressing a preference to death over
slavery
After 65-day siege of Mexico
City, Cuauhtemoc was taken pris-
oner. When he was asked to di-
vulge the whereabouts of the great
treasure storage place of Mexico, he
refused the information, and Cortcs
ordered him and the king of Tlaco-
pan annointed in oil and roasted
alive.
Cuauhtemoc's companion, tortured
by the blaze, complained to his EN-
peror of his suffering and suggested
that the hiding place be revealed.
"Am / perchance on a bed of flow
ers?" the patriot retorted Oily.
Thus ended the conquest of force,
and after organizing a civil govern
ment and constructing Catholic tenn,
pies, Cortes was named governor OF
New Spain in 1922. In 1927 he es"
tablished a cabinet of five l(ersons
headed by D. Nuno Guzman. En-
peror Carlos " of Spain changed the
system of government and in 1885
named the first viceroy, Antonio de
Mendoza.
Thus was New Spain governed un-
til 1921, during which time 62 vice
rows served, the last of whom was
John O'Donohue. During this perioa
the Mexicans endured physical and
moral state of Slavery and there was
born the germ of the idea of inde-
pendence from the yoke of Spain
This germ was fostered by the monk
Miguel Hidalgo Costilla, who, in
company with Joseph Ortiz der Do.

of brave citizens, uttered the firs'

STORY OF MEXICO'S STRUGGLE
FOR FREEDOM TOLD BY CONSUL

Only few weeks ago, September
Is and 16, the people of Mexico, oul
neighboring republic, celebrated the
anniversary of their freedom from
Spain. The period of their dominance
by Spain began with the coming oil
Fernando Cortez, and their struggle
for liberty began with the movement
started on September 16, 1910 by the
monk, Miguel Hidalgo " Costilla, H.
the little village of Dolores, Guiana
juato.
The story of Mexico. from the start
of Cortez's expedition of conquest
from Yucatan, February l, 1919, WITH
II vessels, 553 soldiers, 16 horses ano
10 bronze cannon, is graphically ana
truthfully told in the following ac-
count by Aurelio L. GallardO, Mexican
consul at Yuma.
They arrived at Cozumel island, con-
tinued on to the TabascQ, San juan
de Ulua and April 21, 1919, they lana
ed in Vera Cruz, founding that place.
and established civil government
which disavowed the authority of the
governor of Cuba, Diego, Velasquez.
This caused some leaders and soldiers
Cuban governor, to rebel against
Cortes, and he, to reprimand then
actions, severely punished the leaders
and ordered all his ships burned rc.
prevent the return of his troops.
Moctecuhzoma II, aware of the
arrival of these white men, became
fearful and faint-hearted and as he
was superstitious he called for the
astrologer Nezahualpilli to consult
with the gods about the future OIL
the Aztec empire. The answer was
that the white men would overthrow
him and that he would die at their
hands. Thoroughly frightened, he
sent five emmissaries to Cortes with
rich presents of gold, precious stones
and fine clothes, imploring the Span
lard to return to his own land witt
his followers and leave the natives
live in peace.
On seeing these riches Cortes de-
termined to press on to Mexico City,
allying himself with the Cempoalte-
cas-, uniting them against the Tlax-
calecas who scared by the firearms
and horses of the Spaniards, were
driven back before the conquerors
and eventually forced to ally them
selves with the white men.
Sweeping aside thousands of I'm
pediments, Cortes arrived at the gates
of Mexico and was greeted with ac-
claim by the Emporer Moctecuhzome
II, who showered upon him tnousancs
Of presents and danced attendance
upon the conquerors.
After five months STAY a0lOnS
the MeXicans, from which he OBJ
tanned much gold, precious stones anc
untold wealth, he forced Moctecuh'
zoma to make them subject to the
king of Spain, as consequence ol
which the emperor himself was made
prisoner and the principal mobiles il
opposition to this were burned alive
| Pedro de Alvarado, one of the
