RELATIONS WITH MEXICO
The Oil Industry the Basis of the Re-
cent "Cri3is.'

The Oil Industry the Basis of the Re-
cent "Crisis."
Another "crisis" in our relations
with Mexico was passed last week.
Following the imposition on July OF
the new export tax on oil, which
American companies say makes eX-
portss impossible except at loss, ana
rs per cent. decrease in shipments
from Tampico. with consequent un-
employment of perhaps $4,000 men,
Secretary of the. Navy DENLY ordered
two American vessels 10 Tampico TO
assure adequate protection to Amerl-
can citizens" in the event Of labor
troubles. -Four days later, no wide
spread disturbances occurring, lhcy
were removed.
President 'ODreGon refused COM
mcnt on the presence Of the ships but
issued q vigorous denunciation or oil
companics which have closed down
operations without sufficient Justl-
iication" and ordered them TO pay in
Identification to employees thrown out
of work. lnasmuch as justification
is susceptible to broad Interpretation,
the decree is likely to cause Ameri-
can producers little worry. Protests
against the oil export tax are unaTall-
ing, the more SO as our State Depart
mcnt is obviously handicapped hy TN"
pluvisun for an import tax on on III
our own tariff bill. Drilling at Tam
pico is said To- have practically ceased,
but British companies arc working
elsewhere. and reports of EnShcrs
have come in from Tabasco, further
south.
llolhcaded Mexican sentiment in kcs
the view that there is Il "harrcl OF
powder" in TanIpico, which match
might set. off. President Obregon's
view is that American companies are
deliberately shutting down tn hrinS
pressure on his congress, but the as
sociation of oil producers III McNlco
denies concerted action.
Payment of interest on MeXlcoS

encountered the foundation walls
Of an early building, the presence
of which had not been even sus-

the trench struck a large oval pit
which proved to be treasure
house fifteen feet deep, ten feet
wide and twenty feet long, built in
a natural crevice of the mesa.
About its elge was a neatly made

Maya field in Yucatan. The cistern
yielded an unusually full and un-
mixed collection of artifacts and
pottery from the earliest times to
the Pajaritan or Fourth Glaze
period. r....
More skeleton Unearthed.
When the cistern was cleared it
was bridged over and the trench
was continued. Another zone of
skeletons was encountered and
some of the best pottery thus far
found was taken from these graves.
Then the trench struck walls built
ION bedrock and not extending to
1.-THE surface. Resisting the tempta-
/ ton TO explore along these, the
archaeologists trenched directly in
to the main ruin and found a com

structures just as the prehistoric
walls of the Palace of the Govern

the coming of the Spaniards, were

Onate or his successor in 1909.
Half way through the mound. a
room with finely preserved cell

preserve it, the direction of the

entire contents under tons of stone.

in physical anthropology, and DR..
Carl e. Guthe, who had just re-
turned from his exploration among
the Mayas in Central America.
Three hundred graves were opened
and the total of skeletons found
thus far increased to over one
thousand. 1t was discovered that
the zone of burials on the east side
of the cliff is continuous through
out the entire length of the pueblo,
distance of more than 500 feet,
that cemetery fully as large and
even more populous extends along
the whole west side and that the
plaza of the north building is
crammed with graves of an early
period which also run under the
ruins of the later houses. No
wonder, that some eighty years ago,
the Indians OF Pecos deserted their
thousand year old city and moved
to Jemez because the waters of
Pecos were contaminated and
caused fatal illness. They had been
living over, on and lin a graveyard.
Ruins Well Preserved.
N Castenada, the chronicler Of
[Corenado's explorations $50 years
ago, mentions hut one pueblo at
Pecos, obviously the north housa.
Excavations last summer showed
that there had been a pueblo at an
early period on the site of the south
house, which had been abandoned
and reduced to mere heap of
ruins before the coming of the
Spaniards. In the interior of the
mound there Wos uncovered one
groundfloor chamber in excellent
preservation. Its roof was mostly
intact; from the beams still hung
the bark loops that had been used
to suspend the goods of the owners;
and on one oke-blackened log
are a series of handprints, large
and small, slapped on in whitewash.
To explore the extensive north
house which originally must have
had more than a thousand rooms
and walls of which still stand al
most three stories high, trenches
were started simultaneously at the
east entrance and the west edge Of
the mesa. The western trench was
