plunged into Lake Michigan Wednes
day night, causing earth tremors fell
in dozen southern Michigan cities
and sending a pallar of flame hun
dreds of feet into the air which was
visible for a radius OF more than fifty
miles, was a theory generally acceptt
early Thursday in explanation of the
earth shock at first believed to have
been a terrible explosion of some in
dustrial plant.
Reports from various Michigan, In
diana and Illinois cities where the
binding fame was visible, indicated
that the center of disturbance was
near the lower end of Lake Michigan.
A lighthouse attendant at Grand
Haven, Mich, described the ,phenome-
non as follows:
What looked like ball OF fire ap-
peared to fall in the lake about fifteen
miles south Of me. l though it to be
a falling star. In its rush downward
at terrific speed, could clearly hear
il whistle. When it seemed that it
was striking the water, a flash OF
flame shot into the air and caused a
great disturbance
William Kincaid, lookout at the
coast guard station at Mckinley park
and captains of vessels leaving Mil
waukee saw the flash. The former
says
'T was looking out in the direc
ton of the harbor entrance just about
8 p. M. Suddenly the sky was lit up
by a binding flash of lightning. It
came and went in an instant, but
the southern part of the bay was as
visible as at noon, for a moment. ]
was looking directly at the heart Of
the flash at the time. 1t seemed to
come from an east southerly direction.
1t reminded me of a great flash Of
lightning. 1t was not red or glowing,
but white like an electrical disturb
ance. I thought nothing of it at the
time, but believed it to be lightning"
Vessels were leaving different por-
tions on the lake at the time. The
master Of the steamer Indiana, bound
for Milwaukee, had just left Chicago
at the time and reports seeing the
supposed meteor Crosslake steamer
men confirm this.
Previous meteors falling have been
-isible over distance OF several states
and accompanied by earth shocks.
Among the best remembered are:
The Lake Geneva meteor struck
the north bank of that lake in Feb
ruary, 1917. It's flash was seen over
northern Illinois and southern Wis
consin.
One struck hills Is miles out Of AL

HISTORY OF MEXICAN
OIL LAWS IS ISSUED
(By Associated press)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 22.-Complete
history of the Mexican petroleum ques-
ton including legislation dealing back
to the days of Spanish dominion and
continuing up to the constitution of
1917, together with data concerning
the industry and figures showing pro-
fits made by oil companies in this
country, has been furnished the AS
ISOLATED Press by Leon Salinas, under
secretary of commerce and labor,
which development has charge of mat
tiers pertaining to petroleum.
Sections of laws enacted since 1898,
according to the statement establish
for the Mexican government the legal
right to exercise dominion over coal
and oil deposits and to enact mining
and commercial codes which shall be
binding throughout the republic. Ar
ticle 81 of the constitution of 1917,
the statement says, defines in clear
terms the dominion of the nation over
hydrocarbons and outlines system
Of concessions for the exploitation and
development of petroleum territory"
Discussing various legal phases of
the question and giving historical data
concerning the establishment of diff
ferent development countries in the
republic the statement gives produc'
ton figures which show that from
1901 to 1918 approximately 286,000, 900
barrels of oil were produced in Mexi
co each year. The production dur
ing 1918 was approximately eleven
percent of the potential production
of the country. the statement says
adding that lack of transportation has
been the reason that the Mexican oil
industry has not as yet equalled that
of the United States.
