Mexican Oil Situation
Normal, Says Doheny
Tax Made More Bearable to
Americans; Problems of
Future Nav BE LIGHTER

Edward L. Doheny, president Of the
Mexican Petroleum Corporation, one of
the five American oil men who recent
ly visited Mexico City to confer with
President Obregon regarding the new
export oil tax and the attitude of the
Mexican government toward American
development of oil properties in that
country, returned to New York yester-
day After leaving Mexico City two
weeks ago, he visited his home at Los
Angeles, accompanied by Mrs. Doheny.
Like the other members of the party
who preceded him here, Mr.. Doheny
refrained from discussing the terms
of the agreement reached with the
Mexican government concerning the
tax to which the American oil compa-
nies objected.
"All l feel at liberty to say regard
ing the conferences with President
Obregon," said Mr.. Doheny, "is that we
made an arrangement with the Mexican
government whereby the tax situation
will be more bearable to us, and as a
result shipments Of oil from Tampico,
Lobos and Tuxpan have been resumed
to the normal scale of about 100000
barrels month.
"ln our negotiations with the Off
cials of the Mexican government we
received every courtesy and the best
of feeling was expressed. I think this
interchange Of ideas. will result in an
understanding which will make it much
easier for possible future misunder-
standings to be solved

cerning seizures Of baggage and the
search and detention Of smugglers.
The shutting down on all informa-
tion at the piers, when seizures and
searches are made. comes at the zenith
of the homeward rush Of transatlantic
travel. when cases Of smuggling are
prevalent on every big liner that comes
TO port.
The deputy surveyors in charge of
the piers during the coilectorship of
William Loeb jr., maintained that the
publicity in the public press did more
TO stop smuggling than the fines and
seizures imposed by the Collector and
the Federal courts.
1t is the plan of Collector Aldrich
to withhold all information regarding
smuggling until he and his associates
in the law division decide whether or
not it shall be made public.
Those of the customs force who re
not in accord with the Collectors poll
icy maintain that it would be Just as
reasonable for the city administration
to withhold the news of arrcsts for
crime until such time as the courts
hav" passed upon the guilt or innocence
of the criminals.

Hays Hears Reports
On Removal of CITY
Hall Post Office
Citizens Committee to Con-
tin,le Inquiry Into Pos
tai Needs Here Before
Changes Are Decided On

Although no decision was reached
at the conference yesterday between
WIFI Fl. Hays and the group of repre-
sentative New Workers. whom he APP
pointed early in August to serve as .
Citizens Advisory Postal Committee
the Postmaster General insisted the
session had been "very fruitful in
every way
The failure to arrive at any definite
conclusion, he explained, did not indi-
cate lack of progress, but merely that
the committee was acting as it would
upon a private business proposition,
and consequently would not proceed
until all the necessary information
had been obtained, especially as to
the comparative costs of the various
proposals.
Eight Present at Meeting
TIE meeting in Judge Martin T.
Manton's chambers in the Federal
Building was attended by Congress
man Albert B. Rossdale, of New York,
who fathered the bill in Congress for
the removal of the present Federal
sam, president of B. Altman & Co.;
William Fellowes Morgan. of the Mer-
chants Association; former Governor
Alfred e. Smith, Darwin P. Kingsley,
president of the New York Life In
surance Company; Clarence H. Kel-
sey, president of the Title Guarantee
ard Trust Company; Postmaster Ed
ward Morgan and George w. Perkins
jr., private secretary to Mr.. Hays.
AS at the committees meeting on
September 8, the four subjects under
discussion were the installation Of
pneumatic tubes to expedite mail move
the general postoffice at Thirty-third
Street and Eighth Avenue; the new
station to handle mail for the New
York Central on Eleventh Avenue, and
the removal of the present City Hall
station, located in the old Federal
Building. On each Of these matters,
Mr.. Hays said, much valuable informa-
tion was presented to the conference,
but much more will be needed. Each
member of the committee was assigned
a field for further investigation and
is to report at the next meeting.
Plan New Site
The most important report presented
yesterday was that Of Postmaster
Morgan on the negotiations with the
city administration for the exchange
of the site occupied by the old Federal
Building, between Mail Street, Park
Row and Broadway, for new land on
which to erect modern structure. The
city officials are now working out COM
prehensive proposals looking to the
transfer of the Offices to city-owned
property adjacent to the courthouse
excavations. In any case, Mr.. Hays
declared, the new building will be de-
signed to fit in with the plans for
civic center near City Hall Park. This
project he characterized as Splendid"

Patrolman Daniel Smith, Of the Oak

buggy was torn loose by collision with

Until Law Division HAS De-

Because Of the alleged inaccuracy OF
newspapers and the possibility of Civ

eventually convince the law division
that they had no intention Of defraud-
ing the government, George w. Aid
rich, Collector of Customs, has shut
down the lid upon all information at
the steamship piers relative to snug

deputy surveyors.
1t is contended at the Custom House
that this is an old rule and that the
Collector is merely enforcing it. BY
his orders the Surveyor of Customs
who has supervision over all the depu-

Morrow Is on Three Weeks
Trip to WASHINGTON

Jay j. Morrow, Governor of the
Canal Zone, arrived here yesterday
steamship, Santa Elisa: on his way to
Washington. He said he came North
on government business and expected
to return to his post within three
weeks.
Another traveller was DR.. Carlos
Castro Ruiz, counsellor of the Chilean
Embassy in Washington. He said his
country would like to have prohibition,
but with coast line of nearly 1000
miles it would be impossible to enforce
such law. He said the best Chilli

bidding the sale Of liquor and let it go
at that.

Just a word about the new knick-
booker suits which are being
strongly advocated for women
They are bit rakish of line with
the nonchalant swagger which the
true sportswoman loves. Although
seasoned golfers have worn them
to some extent, it is just now that
women in general are looking TO
the knickerbocker suits as a cor
rect outfit for hiking or almost any
other form OF out-of-door sport.
These suits are being featured by
the most exclusive shops in New
York and Chicago a merchandise
man has predicted that knicker
suits will be worn even more gen.
orally than for sports in the not
distant future
Pictured here is an imported
knicker suit made of English
tweed cut into full knickers and a
long coat, A belt, pockets and
buttons might be called trim
mings". A silk shirt, tie, soft felt
hat, stout gloves. wool hose and
oxfords complete this outfit. Some
OF these knicker suits for mild
weather are made with sleeveless
coats and some cannot rightly be
called knicker suits for they are
made with boomers and a tailored
coat.
