Washington, Sept. 12.-How the
United States government acquiesceG
in the payment Of blackmail by Amer
lean oil companies to Mexican outlaws
and factionists was vividiy related 10
the senate foreign relations subcom-
mittee by Edward l.. Doheny, president
and principal owner of the Mexican
Petroleum Company.
Mr.. Doheny also disclosed evidence
that influential Amcricans who aided
materially in bringing about the rec
ognition of the present Mexican gov
ernment were directly In the pay of
Carranza.
He exhibited a draft for s3,466 paid
to Dr. Henry Allen Tupper by a New
York bank, on or from the Carranza
government, on Aug. 10, 1915. About
that time. according to the testimony,
Dr. Tupper was active in working for
the recognition Of Carranza.
Mr.. Doheny told the committee that
bolshevism was rampant in Mexico.
The same bolshevist Influences were
and are at work in Mexico that arc
responsible for the terror in Russia
he said He added that most of this
bolshev!sm sprouted In the east side
of New York city.
The first demand, from Il Mexican
faction for the payment Of tribute by
the Mexican Petroleum Company game
frcm one Of the Carrluza leaders, Cen
eral Candido Aguilar. son-in-law OF
Carranza. during the Huerta regime.
The Huerta forces controlled Tampico,
but the Carranclstas had possession of
the surrounding country. General
Aguiiar wanted $4,000. under penalty
of confiscation Of the, Mexican Petro-
leum Companys property.
After representatives of the COM
pany had consulted John Lind, then
the presidents personal agent in Mex
leo, part Of the $4,000 was paid to
Gen. Aguilar.
Gen. Huerta next demanded money.
Mr.. Doheny said. When the American
government declined to recognize the
Huerta government the Mexican Pc
troleum company promptly stopped
the payment OF taxes to the Huerta
treasury. Huerta then demanded $780,
900.
To enforce his demand, he seized
Harold Walker, the company's repre-
sentative. in Mexico City. and threat
ened to execute him. MIR. Walker, act.

tribute. He presented the company
with bill for s662,00O taxes. The
company thought the bill too high and
opened negotiations with Carranzass
fiscal agents In New York City.

JOHNSON SCORES
LEAGUE COVENANT
Charges Wilson With Writing Into
Treaty Secret Pacts Which Were
Admittedly obnoxious-senator En-
Enthusiastically Received in ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Sept. 12.-Senator Hiram
Johnson, of California, was given q
coltiial welcome when he arrived here
today to deliver two addresses oppos-
ing ratification of the league of ma
tons. He was met at the train by
Mayor Henry W. kiel. and large re-
ception committee and escorted to the
st. Louis Club for breakfast. Later
. he rode at the head of long auto
parade. At l o'clock, Senator John
son talked to a large crowd at the
City Club, vigorously attacking Presi-
dent Wilson and the treaty. Tonight
he will speak at the coliseum. AT the
City club he said in part:
Mr.. Wilson has two favorite argu-
ments not unknown TO a certain class
of lawyers. He adopts the method of
the bjase case ind denounces his op-
ponents. He endeavors to threaten
them with epithets of pro- -Germanism
of which he himself became accustimed
from 1914 to April 1917, and when the
full effect of this belated and obsolete
charge is not apparent, he adopts the
second line of denunciation of intench-
ed power and shouts of bolshevism.
The day is past, thank God, when Am
erican citizens can be swayed from
their duty without worn epithets.
IN this city few days ago Mr..
Wilson supplied the league with three
hearts. presumably all beating in uni
son so that the heart of the coven-
ant is that the nations soIemnly COW
enant not to go to war for nine months
after a controversy becomes acute.
again Article X. is the heart which
reaches the heart of the whole busi-
ness and then Article XI. is the single
heart of the treaty as far as am con-
cerned. Had l the power I would in
delibly impress it with the guarantee
Of political integrity.
1T is, to quote Mr.. Wilson's Ian
guage, the heart Of the whole business.
"Naively, the president remarked
that secret treaties hampercd him and
embarrassed the whole settlement. In
ferentiallv he comedies to wickedness
of those treaties but he was neither
hampered nor embarrassed to such a
degree as to stand for his oft-ex-
pressed principles. He wrote secret
treaties condemned by him and by the
world into the treaty"

ization OF all Industries" Edgar j..
Rich, transportation consul for the as
sociated Industries of Massachusetts
declared before sthe house Interstate
commerce committee.
Mr.. Rich, who also spoke for the
manufacturers of twenty-five states
aud the Massachusetts Chamber of
Commerce, said the Plumb plan, like
bolshcvism, was preservation Of
socialism in that il would benefit only
one class and deny the socialistic the
ory of the general public good"
The railroads under the plan would
be operated for the benefit OF the work
crs while the public would assume all
risk of loss.
The greatest defect OF the plan Is
that two-thirds representation given
the workers, would control the wage
fixing board.

Found to Be GroundIess.
Paris, Sept. 12.-Advices from the
American Red Cross investigators at
Poltava, received in Paris today
state that reports of an enormous
grain surplus in Ukrainia and south
ern Russia may be dismissed as
groundless.
Investigators who have just arrived
at Poltava after a tour Of the country
liberated by General Denikine from the
bolsheviki say that early threshings
promise crop from 10 to 25 per cent
above the normal. This is due to the
spurring influence of the Germans,
who directed their energies last fall
to having every available foot in
Ukrainia put into winter wheat. Even
this crop will fall short Of domestic de-
mands and it Is declared none of it
will compete with the United States.
