 The right of Mexico to collect the new taxes. an increase of 15 per cent. was challenged by the representatives of practically every American com pany operating in Mexsco. They placed before the secretary a memorandum setting forth the history of oil taxa ton by the Mexican administrations since the overthrow or Porfiro Dlaz. expressed their opinion that In the latest levy. unfairness and injustice had been displayed. and asserted thelr conviction that not only was the tax an indication of an intention to con fiscate their properties. but that ii was illegally imposed
 Secretary Hughes asked them to submit their assertions and arguments in the form of brief. He was said to have told them that if the depart ment should consider it necessary action would be taken.
 | The delegation included more thar a dozen representatives of the variou. oil companies mobiiized by the Asso' | ciation of Producers of Petroleum ir Mexico. At its head was F. L. Do. heny. president of the Mexican Petro-
 Ieum company and the Pan American company.

 HOUSE 61ART RAGE II C[hN|P LID 0N MEDICAL BEER
Congress Would Put Stop To Prescription Practice
 New Bill Up In Senate For Discussion
IRepubIican X. E. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The senate started race with the house today to outlaw medical beer. Just after the house rules committee had concluded long hearing on a pro posal to give the yolstead anti-beer and general prohibition tightening up measure right of way, Senator Willis, Republican of Ohio, introduced a spe- cial bill containing the beer and other uncontroverted sections of the Vol stead bill, with the hopes of having It passed before the prohibition com missioner promulgated medical beer regulations.
 In view of the statements by pAohi- bition leaders before the house com mittee that they were unwilling to re- draft the yolstead supplemental bill, and their request that it be ex- pedited as emergency legislation,
 there was much speculation as to
 whether the yolstead or Willis meas I ure could be put through first.
 I No friends have appeared in the
 house for beer as a medicine and I Chairman Campbell of the rules com
 mittee expressed what was regard ed
 as the general view by declaring a bil
 to prevent it's sale on a doctors pre- seription probably will be passed ! unanimously. The committee will de eide later whether the Nolstead bil or any part of it shall be given tol l place on the house calendar
 Il Would Extend Regulations II In introducing -his bill Senate
 Willis said he was actuatet. by tn : discussion and delay concerning .h E bill pending in the house. In adj
 tion to prohibiting prescription o
 beer s medicine, the measure woul provide that not more than the sam s Il prescribed within ten days than e now authorized for spirituous liquor , ] which is one-half pint.
 r Other provisions would prohibit is r suance of more than 100 prescription : within 90 days to any physician fc
 the use of spirituous or vinons liqucl : as medicine unless an emergency es t ists: would prevent the further mar d ufacture and importation of whisk $ or eniritunus liquors. but no alcoh Il until the present supply is reduced !. point Wnere II WOuld meet the neet ;t for beverage purposes anc wou It give the courts in Hawaii and u
 Virgin islands Jurisdiction to enfor, n the prohibition act.
 '- Senator Willis, in a statement, sa 'a his bill embodied uncontroverted i m sues in the Volstead supplement lg prohibition bill now pending in tl T. house.
 Informed of the introduction of t 7 Willis bill MT. Nolstead said:
