MERIDIAN MAYOR FIGHTS AGAINST A
 B|G BOND ISSUE
Council, However, Refuses to ReSCind Action of Last Week in Authorizing
 Hospital Issue

Meridian, Miss, June 15.-(Special.) The Meridian city council has refused to Bake action on a special message of Mayor John W. Parker requesting that the body rescind its action of last week in adopting a motion of Councilman J. M. Slaughter that City Attorney A. B. Amis draft an ordi- nance providing for s200,000 bond
 issue for the building of new Matty Hersee Charity hospital. Mayor Parker in his message declared that while he voted against the proposi- tion, he is more than ever convinced that the movement is serious mis- take and should be rescinded Tn the first place." he said, T do not be- lieve there is any real need for ad ditional hospital facilities at this tune if the present facilities were utilized for objects of charity, as the law contemplates should be done Second, if we are in need of addi- 1 tional hospital facilities, certainly the matter should be gone into care fully and intelligently and ascertain first what the real needs are and whether we should build a state hos pital or a municipal hospital, and if a state institution, ascertain in ad vance what we are to get from the state in the way of support.
 Reckless Bond Issues
 Third, Meridian is in no condition to be recklessly putting up bond is- sues, and l want to sound a warning to this council and to the people against it. It will not do to grant all the petitions that come before the council. If you do, this adminis- tration will certainly bankrupt this city before our term of office ex- pires; neither is it always safe to voluntarily refer the matter to the people because the people have req son to believe that the council has looked carefully into the matter or they would not have submitted the proposition to the voters, and with confidence in their government the voters go to the polls and vote bonds without much consideration.
 1T do not believe it expedient or necessary to go further into the de- tails of this matter, but as mayor and superintendent of finances of the city, I sincerely trust that this coun- cil will unanimously rescind its or der of last week"
 The question of building new hospital to take the place of the present antiquated and wholly mad .eQuate one according to those ad- vocating new structure. was brought before the council by com- mittees representing the board of trade, Rotary club, Exchange club and the Women's Civic league, the council acting on their request that bond issue be submitted to voters to cover the cost of building goo bed hospital. No action on the part of the council with reference to the mayors request means that the peo- pie will vote on the question as soon as the ordinance is drafted. The Matty Hersee hospital is owned by the city of Meridian and is supported by the city, county and state. It ac- commodates charity patients from throughout this section of Missis- sippi.

 BEAR PROPAGANDA
PheIan Report Not Entitled to Serious Consideration,
 Says WyIie
By Associated Press

New York, June 15.-Statements that production in the Mexican oil fields was declining embodied in a report by J. A. Phelan, shipping board expert, made public yesterday, were characterized as bear propa- ganda" in statement today by Her. bert c. Wylie, vice president and general manager of the Pan-Ameri- can Petroleum and Transport com pany and the Mexican Petroleum company.
 The Secretary of State" the state ment said showed his good judg- ment in refusing to have his depart ment investigate or make a report on the possibilities of the Mexican oil fields, as such business is not usually considered in the perview of the state department. and the re- quest for such report is unprece- dented."
 MT. Wylie asserted that the report of J. A. Phelan was not entitled to any serious consideration, because Mir Phelan is not geologist, neither is he an oil expert"
 "As I understand" he added, "he was sent to Mexico to report to the shipping board. It is to be under stood then when an employe of a shipping concern is sent on such an errand that it Is not expected that he make scientific investigation.
 Tt must be done either by geolo- gists or by those who have made the finding of oil and production of same their lifelong business, and who have been successful in their ef- forts.
 "Mr. Phelan intimates that the producing area is 40 square miles. This is quite misleading. as he. TO doubt, estimates the Chinampa- Amatlan Naranjos -Zacamixtles dis trict to be 40 square miles. However. it must be remembered~tha south of this area there is far greater field of proven oil territory which has barely been touched. the proba ble oil area being many times greater"
 MT. Wylie quoted George Otis Smith, director of the United States geological survey, as placing the to- tai proved area of Mexico at 10000 scuare miles, and the estimated to- tai oil reserve at 4.500, 000.000 barrels
 MT. Phelan is quoted as saying that the proven oil fields of Mexico within a reasonable period are cer- me nstrated fact This statement cannot be contradicted, beause of the qualifying expression, a reasonab ble period and that is the meat of the whole question under consideration"

REDUCED RATES IN EFFECT FROM
 NEW YORK SOUTH.
Will Result In a Saving In Freight Bills Amounting to Thousands of Dollars
 Annually

Mobile, June 15.- Special )-The new reduced rates from interior east ern points to Mobile via the Mallory line marking. 1t is predicted by ship ping men, new era in the coastwise business between New York and Mo bile, became effective today.
 The new rates, which cover more than 5000 points near the north and middle Atlantic seaboard, practically the entire eastern manufacturing section, are approximately 20 per cent lower than the all rail rates
 Use of the water line by mer- chants, therefore, will result in a saving in freight bills amounting to thousands of dollars annually.
 The inauguration of these rates comes after many months of effort on the part of Frederick l. Thomp son, Mobile member of the United States shipping board. and the traf- fic bureau of the chamber of com merce Definite assurance that the new charges would be adopted, was made about a month ago, following a conference between officials of the Mallory line and Mr. Thompson.
 The rates are practically the same as those of the Morgan line to New Orleans. and gives Mobile the same transportation advantages from the east as possessed by the Crescent City.
 Arrangements are now being made by the traffic bureau of the cham Der of commerce to start campaign here to acquaint local shippers with the advantages offered by the water line with these rates"in effect and the necessity for patronage if the service is to be continued.

The farm, which is one or the snow
