The red sesquiplane. veteran of

was towed from its dim hangar in
the early morning sunlight. On its
scarlet flanks were inscribed the
names of far cities to which ii has
travelled under the guidance of the
former war ace who was at its con-
trolls today.
Among these cities were such
names as Tsitsikar, Karbine, Cal

the aviators arrived two days ago
at the end Of their cold flight along
the great circle they were dressed
today In clothes which suggested
merely a jaunt TO the seashore or

POLICE COURT SETS
RECORD |NIF|NES
Revenue in 1929 Exceeds
Best Previous Years
Total by $4,000.

Police Court fines in 1929 exceeded
by $4,000 the total sum of any previ-
Gus year, Financial Clerk Sanford re-
ported yesterday. His statement nxed
the 1929 total at $3.50, 956.4s, as against
$S17,Ss3.29 In 1924. the highest pre-
ceding year.
Sanford announced that in taking in
over half million dollars the at
taches Of his ONCE handled approx.
mately t1,400,OO0 throughout the year.
The remainder of this latter figure
was returned to persons who had posted
collateral at the police precincts, after
their acquittal by court trial.
December was the most Improbable
month Of the year for the court when,
only $36,539.07 was paid N fines.
While an average number Of cases were
handled during the last month, a larger
number Of petit offenders were COM
United to jail than is usually the case.
Many Of those arraigned in the court
failed TO pay the smallest OF fines.
July was the banner month Of the
year, when &65,81045 was taken in,
This total, far in excess Of the total
for any other month, is attributed to
the police drive against violators Of
traf1c regulations.
The amount Of money taken In by
the court has shown q steady increase
in the last rs years. Only ST., 900
was recorded by the financial once in
1904. The great increase since that
year is attributed to automobiles, the
prohibition law and much larger
number Of "drunks" which are brought
into court. These are considered greater
factors than the large increase in

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, January 1.-THE
government announced Tuesday night
that the century old mystery of the
resting place of the remains of the
Spanish conquerer fernando Cortez had
been solved by ancient documents pre-
serted to Mexico by Prince Antonio
Pignatelli. direct descendant Of the
connueror.
These documents were said to disclose
definitely that the ashes repose In an
urn secreted In the central altar of the
Church of Jesus NaZareno in Mexico
City, adjacent to the hospital of Jesus,
founded by Cortez in 1925 and said to
be the Oldest on the American Con-
tinent. The hospital still benefits from
the income from fund established by
Cortez.
+ Museum to Get Documents.
The Spanish domination of Mexico
was broken In 1921 and in 1923 while
the agitation against all things Spanish
was at its height, Indians planned to
break into the tomb of CorteS to destroy
the records kept there and to scatter his
ashes to the winds.
The authorities refused to intervene,
but friends of the family secretly re-
moved the ashes to the church within
four blocks Of the central square of
Mexico City. The secret of the new
resting place was zealously guarded and
handed down only within the family
Of the conqueror. The responsibility of
guarding these precious documents
finally led Prince Pignatelli to turn the
burden over to the Mexican government.
They will be placed in the National
Museum.
May Become National Shrine.
The danger of any dissertation being
considered long past, the government
has made public the burial place and 1t

NIGHT WATCHMAN
JAILED FOR ASSAULT
Smashed Everything in
Boarding House But Piano,
Police Charge.

John F. Desmond, so years old, night
Waterman and special policeman in a
downtown department store, was ar
raigned in Police Court today charged
with destroying 81 900 worth of furni-
ture in the home of Mrs. Annie Robin
son, GIT Eighth street northeast, and
with assault on Policeman A. Moore,
after the latter had escorted him to
the ninth precinct police station.
Moore testified that he was attracted
to the house about o'clock yesterday
afternoon by large crowd gathered
outside. He entered and found Des-
mond running amuck through the
building, smashing chairs, or tables
anything that blocked his path. The
terrified mistress of the house was hud-
died in a second-story closet. The po-
liceman cornered the man, called the
ninth precinct patrol wagon and es-
corted him to the station house.
Desmond broke loose from his captors
when he was being booked in the police
precinct, and struck Policeman Moore
in the face, police said. The off1cer was
knocked unconscious and did not re-
gain his senses for Is minutes, during
which his companions tried to revive
him.
The defendant, who has boarded at
the home Of Mrs. Robinson for some
time, refused to comment on the situ-
alton other than to say that he was
drunk and did not remember anything
that had gone on.
The man smashed every piece Of fur
niture in the f1ve lower rooms Of the
home, except the piano, according to
police. He was attempting to Inangle
this with a leaf from the family dining
table when police interviewed, according
to the complaint.
Desmond was ordered to serve 80 days
in jail for the assault on Moore by
Judge Ralph Given. He was held for
grand jury action under 81 900 bond on
the other charge.
