Mexico Puts End To
110- Year Pensions
To Montezuma Heirs
MEXICO. D. P. Dec. #.
Negligence and several supposed
historical inaccuracies it was as-
serted today have cost the Mex-
ican government more than $1000.-
.00 in the last 110 years.
The claim was made in a decree
ordering that no more pension.
be paid to descendants of Monte-
zuma II ruler of the Aztec empire
overthrown by Hernan Cortez or
of the ruler s daughter. Isabel Mon-
tezuma.
The decree sent to congress tn
connection with a general check-up
on pensions the minister of fin
ance pointed out that the pensions
to Montezuma *s heirs — which he
said were granted only “provisicn-
ally and for the present” in 1823—
had been extended through negu-
! gence.
Further the decree challenged
; the authen^Jity \f records upon
! which the original payments were
made.
The pensions first were author-
ized early in the seventh century
by the Spanish crown. This was in
reward for Montezuma's services to
Cortez and on the oasis oi the
Spanish conqueror's statement that
Montezuma on his death bed 400
years ago. requested Cortez to taxe
care of his children especially
Isabel.
However the decree sets forth
that Cortez was not present at the
death of Montezuma and that even
if Montezuma had renounced his1
rights in favor of the Spanisn
crown his daughter could not have
benefited by his renunciation since
the Aztec form of government
was not a monarchy but more of a
lepubllc and that the rights of the
rulers could not be nassed down to
descendants and especially not to
women.

BROWNSVILLE
PORT TO GET
WORLD FAME
A comprehensive program of ad-
vertising and publicity to call the
attention of Brownsville to the
attention of the world at large
and shippers and business men in
general is being mapped by the
Brownsville chamber of commerce
according to G- C. Richardson
manager.
Richardson Saturday issued a
statement asking all residents to
write to their friends acquaint-
ances and business associates and
to call attention to the Browns-
ville port as an opening wedge.
Interest Wide-Spread
“Due to the location of Browns-
ville on the Mexican border to
its historical background when
ships formerly plied the Rio
Grande and to other similar fac-
tors there will be more than the
ordinary amount of interest in this
port project.
The Brownsville chamber is
preparing to capitalize on this tn-
lereat by sending articles to news-
papers. magazines and other puo-
ic at ions throughout the country '
Richardson called attention to
the fact that much interest m the
port here has been shown by the
mine owners and manufacturers m
northern Mexico and said that
communications would be sent to
them.
Varied Program
The general program to let the
world know that Brownsville is to
income a seaport Includes prepar-
ation of booklets and folders a
considerable amount of letter writ-
ing personal calls feature articles
for newspapers and magazines ana
the like.
The preliminary work along this
line was done two years ago oy
the chamber when it seemed likely
that the port was to be built ari
it will be taken up where it was
left off.
