CARRANzA CHARGES . STATEMENTS FALSE
Mexican President Declares That Some Oil Companies
 Spread Misstatements

Mexico City, September 3.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press.)-Study of President Carranza's s message to Congress on September 1 brings into prominence several sections of the address which were overshadowed at first.
 One of the longest sections was con- tributed by the department of commerce and industry which has charge of petrol cum and mining matters. Lengthy ref erence is made to the differences of opin- ion existing between the Mexican gov ernment and the petroleum companies as to their respective rights and the di- rect charge is made that a group of dis grunteled companies has established "an office outside Mexico for the special pur- pose of spreading false and exaggerated statements concerning the policies of the Mexican government in respect to petrol cum" Not all petroleum companies are open to this charge, says the message. A new banking law providing for a bank of issue and materially changing the entire financial system will soon be submitted to congress, according to the message.
 According to statement prepared by the department of the treasury the gov ernment in the past 10 months has re- ceived revenues totalling 135,30l, 900 pesos, and it is estimated that total revenues for the year will aggregate 162, ,0O0 COO pesos. Estimates for the first nine months of the year indicate gain over sim liar period last year of more than 1S,- 900, GOO pesos
 "The campaign against the enemies of order has continued with success" says a portion of the message dealing with the department of war, "and assurance can be given that only a few unimportant groups of bandits operating in some states of the republic They are con stantly being hunted and beaten by fed eral forces and their auxiliares."
 Members of Congress showed most in terest in that part of the message deal-
 ing with the relations with the United States. When the President alluded to Mexicos unwillingness to join the league

of nations and her determination not to recognize the Monroe doctrine. senators and deputies applauded loudly.
 There is every evidence that the pres ent Congress intends to take some definite stand on the petroleum question. The senate has before it a report by its spe cial committee which recommends vital amendments to article 27, under which the petroleum industry would be nation ized The authors of this report, Juan N Frias and Adalberto Rias, have an- nounced that they are going to push the measure with vigor. Meanwhile President Carranza has intimated that he is going to let congress deliberate the matter as if wills.

Alleged Oppression of La bOrers on Hawaiian Plan

Honolulu. T. H., September 4-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press) Charges that Porto Rican laborers on Hawaiian planta tions were oppressed and denied equal justice, made in communi- cation signed by number of Porto Ricans and placed before the Porto Rican legislature on March 5, 1919, are declared by R.

ROSE INTO DESERVED FAME
Mystic Painter of Lithuania Accorded
His Proper Place in the World
of Art.

What Scriabine attempted to do with
music in Russia, Curlionis has done
with paint in Lithuania. M. K. Cur
lionis is the great mystic painter Of
Lithuania, that little nation which Is
calling out to the world its right to ma
tional independence.
Curlionis made painting depict mu-
sic, Scriabine attempted to unite color
and, sound through the medium of mu-
sic.
Curlionis studied in Dresden and in
Leipzig. With an almost incredible
sense Of variety, he showed himself to
be remarkable and an original COM
poser. His most conspicuous works
were "Rex," "Conte" and the Sonata
of Beethoven"
In the words of the well-known
American musical critic, Gilbert W..
Gabriel, this painter succeeds where
others have failed, in conveying the
righteousness unlimited in music, the
unmindful ecstasy Of its imaginings |;
yet he has made art of it, notable pre-
possessed art, sternly beautiful. XII
netic art, of course, and madly swift
to convey titanic impressions; but
such is the modern school, and Paris
knows Curlionis as one of its fore
most moderns."
