NEW YORK, Oct. IA Washing
ton dispatch published by q Wall

MEXICANS JJNMASK
new OIL SCANDALS
Secretary Gales Opens War on Ameri.
can Magnates Escaping Income
Tax by TFickery.


Mexico City-Plutarco E. Gales, sec
rotary of the Interior, has told Mexican
newspaper men informally that the
Mexican government was prepared to
unmask American oil producers" whom
he charged with "scandalous actions,
not only against the Mexican treasury,
but against the United States as we'll"
This statement was published in three
Mexico City newspapers and there was
much speculation of the meaning of
the secretary's statement.
Although the wording of the declara-
ton of Senior Gales varied in yester-
days newspapers, each printed inter
views attributed to the secretary with
the same sentiments. He was said to
have referred to alleged attemps by
merican oil companies to dodge income
taxes by dissolving the parent corpora
tions and forming numerous subsi-
diaries. Continuing, the secretary
said. according to the vershion printed
by Fl UNIVERSAL:
knowing the other systems used by
the oil companies to hide the true
status Of their enterprises, the Mexi-
can government, in defense of its own
interests, has, by means of special
agents in the United States started an
active campaign to pull the masks from
the faces of these companies"

.Sedate 10st0n
in Hot Dispute
Stately City of Boston Argues With
Transportation Company Over
Piece of Ground.
(By Associated Press }


Boston-Property rights in a hole
IN the ground near Winter street, in
the center of Boston's retail shopping
district are in dispute between the
city and the Boston Elevated Railway
company. The hole in an underground
passage the existence of which the dis
pute has made known for the first
time to thousands of persons who
travel daily through the tunnels, sub
ways and sub-subwaEs in the city. 1t
was built some years ago and runs the
whole length of Winter street lying
between the roof of the Cambridge
South Boston tunnel and the street sur
face. It has never been used.
Attention has recently been called
to it through a petition of the rail
way company for sanction of plan to
rent the space to AUDITING stores for
storage use. The company contends
that inasmuch as it holds q lease of
the Cambridge South Boston tunnel, it
has property right in the dark void
above. City officials assert that the
passage is not part of the tunnel, and
that if any income is to be had from it
the city is entitled to it.
The passage or gallery as the Rail-
way Company describes it, came into
being because the Boston Rapid Trans
it Commission which had charge of the
construction of the underground sys-
TEN built this Section of the tunnel
not by boring but by digging from the
surface and found it cheaper later to
roof it over under the street than to
fiji in the cavity.

German Crops
Bumper Ones
All the Fields Are Filled With Nodding
Stocks of Grain, from Border
to Berlin.

The London representative of the In
ternational Trade Service of the Guar
anty Trust company of New York, has
just returned from tour of ohserva-
ton in Germany, during which he Wis
tied Berlin, the great industrial centers
of Essen, Dusseldorf and Dortmund,
and travelled through the agricultural
districts between Berlin and the Dutch
German frontier. The following is an
extract from his report:
GAIL the way from the Dutch border
to the German capitol was an amending
panorama of waving grain. The Ger
man crops are unusually far advanced.
Both the rye and the wheat crops are
very promising and the outlook for the
sugar beet crop is also very good. The
oil seeds have blossomed fully and
show good prospects.
while a large number of locomo-
ttves are in bad order, there is con-
siderable railroad reconstruction under
way and also new canal construction.
And wherever there was chimney
stack it was belching smoke. AS com
pared with Holland there is a marked
absence of cattle and horses and the
labor in the fields is being performed
almost entirely by women.
"In Berlin all the hotels are crowded.
The price of accommodation in Berlin
is about the same as at hotels of a
corresponding class in Paris and<Brus-
sells, prices having been raised to cover
the depreciation in exchange. There
is an ample supply of food of all kinds
and even fresh milk is now available
for families with children, those with
out children using canned milk.
I'm the great locomotive shop of the
Krupp works at Essen heavy locomo-
tives are turned out complete at the
rate Of one day. In another shop
wagons are manufactured at the rate
of eight day. In still another build
ing nearby fve-ton motor lorries were
being manufactured alongside of small
motor scooters.
