Steamship Company Deliberately Vic
lated New immigration Law by
Bringing In immigrants Says
California Congressman.

Washington.-Th johnson bill to
permit aliens who sailed on or before
June last to land at American ports
was passed by the house. The excess

rrcximately 10000. The bill now goes

ed to relieve congestion at various
ports, especially New YorE,
The bill was opposed by Representa-.
tive Box, Texas, and Raker, Califor-

clared 10000 aliens were seeking adj
mission to the United States, where

BY ADMIRAL SIMS, TO BE IN

TEXAN PROPOSES INQUIRY

Second Dreyfus case--Naval Com.
mlttee to Do Probins-cham.
berlaln In Lineliaht

Washington.--An investigation Is to
be made by the senate naval affairs
committee Of the dismissal from the
marine corps Of Capt. Edmund G.
Chamberlain, the Sane Antonio, Texas
aviator, whose story of participation
in thrilling air battle on the western
front was one Of the sensations Of the
world war.
Authority for the investigation was
granted by the senate, which adopted
resolution to that end offered by
Senator Sheppard, democrat, Texas
The latter in urging the inquiry de-
scribed Capt. Chamberlain's cOurtmar-
tial and dismissal as another Dreyfus
case"
The case OF Capt. Chamberlain for
many months was one of special In.
terest to the military service, start.
ing with the published story Of his
exploits and ending with his dismissal
from service with the approval Of
President Wilson. The marine corps
officer claimed that on July 2S, 1898,
when on furlough, he visited British
sector, borrowed a British airplane
and in q flight over the front lines
took part in a battle with IL German
machines. He asserted that he de-
stroyed five of the German planes,
damaged two others and sweeping
earthward in his damaged machine,
scattered detachment of German sol
diers, landed, took a German prisoner
by pretending that a compass was a
bomb, and then carried a wounded
French soldier to safety.
The story Of the exploit as told BY
Chamberlain was cabIed to the United
States by the official committee on
public information and recommends
tions were made that the officer be
awarded the American medal Of honor
and the British Victoria Cross. Denial
Of the officers story by British of.
ficers led to an investigation and
court-martial proceedings. Chamber.
lain contended that the failure Of the
British fliers to corroborate his story
was due to the fear that an admission
that an American officer had used a
British plane would have resulted in
their court-martial.
The court-martial, the proceedings
of which were reviewed by Rear Ad-
miral Sims, then commander Of the
American naval forces in British
waters, recommended Chamberain's
dismissal He was returned to the
United States and pending review Of
his case, remained under arrest, be.

DEADLOCK ON THE
NAVY BILL IS ENDED
eoRAH DISARMAMENT AMEND.
MENT WILL GO BEFORE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
PRIME OFF s9O,OOO,OOO
reports That House Leaders Would
Insist on Porter Resolution Met
BY Announcement That Bic
Leaders object.

Washington.-The deadlock between
the senate and house over the naval
APPROPRIATION bill was broken by con.
derees, with virtual agreement to lop
off about s90,OO0,OOO Of the sos 200, 900
added to the bill by the senate and
with the right Of the house to vote di.
rectly on the Borah disarmament
amendment.
There are still many minor tangles
TO be cleared away, but the confereee
were reported in substantial agree
ment on all major points.
According to the plan as worked
out, the navy personnel including ma
val aviation, will stand somewhere be.
tween 100,000 and 10000. House
members were holding out for the
smaller total.
Many republicans were plainly sur
prised when they found that the Borah
amendment, precisely as passed by the
senate, would come back to the house.
Reports that house leaders would in.
sist upon the Porter disarmament res
Olution, concurring in the declared
purpose of President Harding" to call
an international conference on arma.
ments as a substitute for the Borah
proposal for a naval disarmament con.
ference between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States, was met by
the statement that house members Of
the conference would not take part in
such course.
1t was pointed out that when the
conference report was laid before the
house the way would be opened for
parliamentary battles, but it was
stated on the other hand that the
agreement reached today was based
upon the clear and absolute under
standing that senate managers, in
agreeing to wholesale reductions in
the bills total, did SO upon condition
only that the Borah proposal should
mot be sidetracked.
AS the naval bill passed the house
1t carried approximately 1896, 900, 900.
1t will come back, according to au-
thentic reports, with about $5,OOO,OO0
added, but with the understanding
that house managers will not oppose
certain other items which would run
1t up few million more. Exact fig
ures were not available, but it was
said that when the bill is finally pre-
scented to the house, it will show all
but from eight to twelve million dol
lars of the $9S,0OO,O00 senate increase
stricken out.

OPPOSE RAISE IN
MEXICAN OIL TAX
REPRESENTATIVES, or AMERICAN
COMPANIES QUESTION MEX
ZOOS RIGHT TO COLLECT.
HUGHES PROMISES ACTION
OIL Men Contend New Export Tax
Amounts to Confiscation and Was
Illegally Assessed BY PrssI-
dent obregon.

Washington.-A group of oil opera
tors who called at the State Depart.
ment to protest against the recent III
crease in export taxes on petroleum
in Mexico was assured by Secretary
Hughes that he would give the subject
careful consideration.
The right of Mexico to collect the
new taxes, which amounts to an in
crease of % per cent, was challenged
by the representatives of practically
every American company operating in
Mexico. Acting in concert, they placed
before the secretary memorandum
setting forth the history Of oil taxa.
ton by the different administrations
that have ruled Mexico since the over.
throw of Porfirio Diaz, expressed their
opinion that in the latest levy unfair
ness and injustice had been displayed
and asserted their conviction that not
only was the tax an indication Of an
intention to confiscate their properties,
but that it was illegally imposed.
Secretary Hughes asked them to
submit for his consideration their as
sertions and their arguments in the
form Of a brief. He told them the
brief would be studied carefully and
was said to have added that If the de-
partment should consider it necessary,
action would be taken.
The delegation included more than
dozen representatives Of the vari.
GUS oil companies modified by the
Association Of Producers Of Petro.
leum in Mexico. At it's head was E.
L. Doheny, president Of the Mexican
Petroleum Company and the Pan
American company. The principal
verbal argument presented in support
Of the statements contained in the
memorandum was made by G. 0.
Swain, general counsel Of the Stand
ard Oil Company Of New Jersey,
which has subsidiary organization
in Mexico.
Oil operators argued that President
Obregon acted unostensibly when he
recently received the decree in oil tax,
since there is no provision in Mexican
law for the issuance of such de-
cree except in a case where the pow
ers have been conferred upon the
president as a result Of the "suspen
sion Of guarantees" an act analogous
to martial law in the United States.
The guarantees have not been sus-
pended and no extraordinary powers
have been conferred upon the presi-
dent, it was pointed out Their con.
tention that the action was tanta'
mount to confiscation was supported
by citing a note sent by the State
to Mexico in April, 1918,
in which it was declared the United
States would not presume to complain
of the taxes in another country I'M
less they were so onerous as to give
rise to the suggestion that they we're
in fact confiscatory.

proximately 5OO,OOO,OOO pounds, pro-
vdied normal conditions prevail all

100000 pounds to be disposed of at
the opening Of the 1922 season.
General instability Of the cotton mar
ket and government restrictions af-
fecting planting were cited as the
chief influences in reducing acreage.
